Spambots
Please don't post on a spambot's talk page. You can report spam here, thanks --  Random Time  12:51, November 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * Dear Randomtime,


 * I had no possible clue with the information at hand that this user was indeed a spambot. Only thing i saw was two different contributions not being helpfull, and pointing that out what seemed to me a legitimate account (but not overly active and fairly new).


 * I did not consider it spam, but an error, as did Dser, because he only removed it and did not report it.


 * But i assume you have more knowledge on other contributions by this user or it's IP adress, so i won't question your decision here. I think that for a normal user however blocking is a little harsh.


 * Ah, sorry - those contribs defiantly were spam, I appreciate that you didn't know that, sorry for sounding harsh. --  Random Time  19:38, November 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * Dear Randomtime,
 * I have a feeling that with your long time work at the VSTF you have developed what in my profession is called a professional blindspot.
 * The reason i am feeling it is because you ban somebody without warning, without telling and without clarification for posting a weblink to a page, even tough it isn't appropriate nor usefull to that page.
 * That said, considering you are a volunteer, i can understand your position here.
 * It makes your work a tad harder. But maybe you should become a bit more lenient on people 'spamming'. Warn them first with a clear bit of information how they should act. Welcoming, informative, and crystal clear.
 * I have a template for that purpose over at Swords and Potions wiki which so far has been used only a single time.
 * This wiki has not been victim of vandalism, but on two occassions, where one was some misinformed person coming from CC vandalizing my personal userpage.
 * I know, it takes a bit more actions. Maybe have a global template for warning about vandalism?
 * That way you may even make from vandalizers good contributors. The way you currently treat them is not in line with how i feel the staff likes to treat people (welcoming, informative, clear and open).
 * Hope you want to consider it and hopefully act upon that.
