Hello everyone, I am Fobarimperius from the Slenderman Wiki, one of three admins of said wiki as well, here is a link.

http://theslenderman.wikia.com/wiki/The_Slender_Man_Wiki

So today I was informed by a regular user (username DarkStormGTS) who has contributed to the wiki once every day for the past 84 days (in hopes of garnering the bade for 100 days) that he is being repeatedly banned by an unknown source for an hour directly following the incidents. We have only three admins capable of bans on our wiki, me, andthe two others, and both of them claim they don't know what's going on either. The user in question claims that when he tries to post or comment, he is "blocked by user." No other users have claimed this problem, and everyone who has edited who are not admins don't have any incidents to report.

I don't know if it is one of our wikia bots (we have three and I banned the one not listed as a Staff member that has no activity listed in the possible hopes it could rectify the situation), or if we have a hacker targeting a user. Either way none of the bots have any logs detailing ban operations being taken place, and the wikia activity logs show no bans being dealt. Additionally, the user in question has had no bans placed into his block logs. Maybe this is because I am not around the community much, but I am under the understanding that if you get banned from one wiki, that does not automatically ban you from all wiki's. If I'm wrong, then that could explain it, but if not, it explains nothing.

I appreciate you taking the time to read this. If you don't know or are not sure, thank you for reading and I appreciate your time. If you do have some advice, or if this has happened to any wiki's you know of, I'd certainly appreciate knowing how to rectify the situation.

P.S. We have not had the ban on the bot named "Default" tested yet.
