I have a little question about this blog article on conflict. I was going to comment, but it was already locked due to no comments over 30 days. I love the article, it's helpful and I will probably bookmark it, but one little question...

If, say, none of your methods work, because an user is just so stubborn and bent on "winning", or has sociopathic tendencies or whatever, and the argument eventually escalates to the point of compromising the wiki. I have been a member of various communities (most outside of Wikia, and a long time ago), where a conflict often escalates to the point of the founder's account being hacked, after which the hacker (in the founder's account), for example makes the hacker, or someone who supports them and/or made them hack the founder in the first place, the new founder, or at least gives them the highest privileges. Then bans the founder and removes all their user privileges. In other words, a coup-d-etat but of a community/wiki/forum instead of a nation.

It's not that I am in a situation like this, luckily enough, but since I do contribute on a wiki, and run my own wiki (Bas-Makes-Games Wikia) in order to get in touch with my potentional fans in the future. If something like the above-mentioned happens, then is there a blog post or help article I could refer to?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Bas
