[08:25:08] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/443926951292567562/903560065154428978/unknown.png [08:25:22] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/443926951292567562/903560125359464498/unknown.png [08:25:48] When we try to help them, they said it's "foreign takeover" [08:26:42] Meanwhile they neglect their wiki to the state of vandalism and massive CoC violations [08:34:16] If they're still permitting mass content vandalism then the rationale is unacceptable. If it was primarily comments and removing them was a blunt way to 'solve' the issue mostly with the mainspace not so affected by vandalism they could probably get away with it. [08:34:53] Ultimately they do have the agency to refuse outside parties as long as the content of the wiki is relatively intact, but again. We need to not have to worry about not just comments, but pages being a CVT concern as well. [08:35:37] I dunno why I'm speaking in third party, I'm actually in that discord despite lacking time to do the topic justice [08:36:27] Oh wait, I'm not in that one [08:36:33] Why are there two >.> [08:36:52] The Discord branch is splitted [08:37:06] Schism? [08:37:54] Polcompball official server for discord people, they never touch the wiki PolCompball Miraheze for the wikis and PCBA Polcompball Forums for Fandom forum users [08:38:13] Curiously, the wiki seems to only link to the first one. [08:39:03] Ah well [08:39:15] Is neglecting the wiki an CoC violations ? What's the punishment for the admin staff who neglect their own wiki ? [08:44:23] Neglect is a bit tricky to clearly define for a miraheze policy (coc being more individual conduct and Content Policy not explicitly stating this either), but if the administrators are present, know there's a problem and take no steps to resolve it, that can indeed be an issue [08:44:53] And if a wiki becomes a continuous problem that nobody wants to solve then it can very well end up closed [08:45:02] If I get an invite to the discord I could probably review the situation more clearly [08:45:18] Noting of course I lack any authority to make a final judgement :p [08:45:31] That's the screenshot of more than a week ago [08:45:36] And actually doing it would be later since I'm stretching the edge of going to work. [08:56:46] Maybe this will be the last time Ballmedia intervene into PCBA affair [08:57:35] The Stewards will have the last say on the wiki [09:00:21] If the wiki professes its independence, ballmedia can't really act anyway [09:01:03] And if there are credible concerns about how it follows policies, from there it's either pointing a Steward to it, or for efficiency researching and compiling evidence with links to make the research much simpler when a Steward eventually gets to it. [09:01:54] We're conducting an investigation currently to gather evidence [09:02:16] Agent is idle currently [09:02:42] We'll try to get PCBA to join Ballmedia [09:05:37] Simply neglect isn't an issue. What it can lead to and is doing as far as I understand here is. [10:19:59] It's been 2 fucking days since I haven't logged into IRC, but now, I'm back, looking lively as ever. [10:39:46] language pls [10:40:08] Oh, sorry about that. [13:48:25] [[Special:CentralAuth/Napalm]] @Doug I gave this guy a second look, and found that this user has added a stub in the same article as Gigdsclasp (who is already globally locked), and these diffs might even prove it: https://reallifevillains.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:Diff/134976 (Napalm) https://reallifevillains.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:Diff/130180 (Gigdsclasp) (already globally locked) This might be a clue that [13:48:25] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/Napalm [13:48:26] Gigdsclasp might have returned with another sockpuppet account in order to circumvent a global lock imposed on the user back in June. A sleeper check might be useful, even if the master account is stale at this point.

[13:50:21] that an around member of the CVT channel should check one of those places [13:50:30] and they'll see I need something doing [13:50:44] You mean something might've broke down? [13:50:51] no [13:51:08] they'll see i asked in a private channel to avoid discussion [13:51:20] Well, that's fine. [13:59:09] Stop acting like you have authority, no one needs your permission to do anything [13:59:33] I noticed this yesterday, stuff like this should not happen. [13:59:34] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/443926951292567562/903644228532437002/unknown.png [14:02:11] @Joseph Zppix While that's true I said what I said in the screenshots you just showed just now, but wasn't this from like, 12 days ago? [14:04:18] Tbh Zppix has a point [14:04:44] If I ask someone to look in a channel you can't see, it's because I don't want you to see [14:05:24] Yeah, I don't really need to know what goes on behind the scenes, yet I've said this publicly, which, I (regretfully) said here. [14:10:23] @Spookreeeno Zppix's screenshot just now, it just makes me want to regret posting what I say 12 days ago (which was pretty recent), and I probably should've privately messaged him rather than here. [14:10:49] Can we get on though [14:11:17] You mean a private chat about something else? [14:11:34] You and Zppix [14:12:06] Yeah, I guess so. [14:12:39] Then good [14:57:08] @CVT Mass vandalism on bluepageswiki by an IP editor: https://www.bluepageswiki.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/136.158.41.206 [14:57:09] [url] User contributions for 136.158.41.206 - Bluepages | www.bluepageswiki.org [15:03:01] I see they're replacing content with links to the Main Page. [15:03:18] Yeah, I reverted most vandalism except pages that need to be deleted [15:03:34] That sounds good. [15:03:46] CVT should disable anonymous editing as this is the 4th time in 2 months that it's been vandalized by an IP editor [15:04:01] 4 times in a row? [15:04:43] I'm actually surprised that this has been occurring 4 times within 2 months. [15:05:01] Yeah, this is the 4th time in about 2 months that vandalism has occured [15:05:28] I believe this all began in August with a sock of -abigblueworld- but I don't know if this is them or another spammer [15:05:29] Holy hell, it must've been a pain to clean up the vandalism. [15:07:49] I don't know if this is -abigblueworld- still or not, this is definitely interesting [15:08:11] It doesn't look like anything that -abigblueworld- would write. [15:09:00] Perhaps it's an unconnected spammer then. This spammer seems to come from the Philippines. [15:09:20] -abigblueworld- tends to make pointless demands to have us give them custom blocks, or make ludicrous usernames relating to Uglydolls, or usually have abusive usernames targeting me. If it was that user, I would've known immediately. [15:10:29] I think it's one of the LTAs you've been dealing with from Wikipedia as I distinctly remember that they targeted you the first time they attacked and then proceeded to try and brute force my account which you said is typical of that LTA [15:11:32] Yes, that is also another one of their patterns. Lately, they've been making disgusting usernames directly at me on Wikipedia. It would appear they might have moved on from Miraheze and shifted their focus there. [15:14:56] Actually no, upon further inspection, I believe it's a sock of BLOXAuthority as checking logs of previous spam on that wiki, a Filipino IP previously targeted Reception and spammed that spam wiki, both IPs of the current and previous spammer are within the same range [15:16:44] Yeah, it didn't smell like -abigblueworld- at all. [15:17:13] I must've confused it as you were dealing with that at the same time as the first wave of spam from BLOXAuthority was happening. [15:17:40] Yeah, you're not wrong there.
