Sockpuppetry
Hey Lostris, we had a problem dealing with a discussion user who kept on evading block bypassing despite at our best of IP blocking them, think you can lend a hand use range block on them? They kept on coming back to annoy. Cassie     I can see you. ✿  08:13, August 13, 2016 (UTC)
 * My apologies for the extremely late reply, I've been busy away from my computer ^^". Is this still an issue? If so, please link me to one of the users/IPs involved and I'll see what I can do. 09:49, August 17, 2016 (UTC)

IP Blocking
Could you block the IP of http://plantsvszombies.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/Ancestor_of_ZambieAlex please and no this is not me. --Supreme Lord of Supremeness II 17:08, August 22, 2016 (UTC)
 * Done. 18:57, August 22, 2016 (UTC)

Killerguy barney vandal
They re-uploaded the pics from earlier months this year and the one's Killerguy re-uploaded need to be deleted from the file history before any other vandals revert to that.--Muzzarino 00:57, September 5, 2016 (UTC)
 * Done. 07:38, September 5, 2016 (UTC)

Abusive Administrators
Recently two users by the names of | Riley Heligo and | Dirtbag Daryl who are admins of Mortal Kombat Wiki but are abusing their power by going as far as to enforce their wikis rules onto other wikis using harassment, threats, and intimidation to get admins of the other wikis to do their bidding, I have recently fallen victim to them and both went as far as to insult me for my actions against them. Is it possible for me to report them on this site?--Hornetzilla78 (talk) 18:19, September 23, 2016 (UTC)
 * Issues like abusive administrators are best reported to Wikia Staff as social issues like that are their department. The VSTF only deals with clear cut vandalism and spam, assisting communities with dealing with either. I hope this issue will get resolved for you, so feel free to about it.  18:43, September 23, 2016 (UTC)

Should I need to keep intervening this??
Hi Lady Lostris, about this, one of user said he is right and the other said he is wrong, I don't know who is right, so should I need to keep intervening this happening...?? But if nobody intervene to solve this problem, the edit war won't finish! I'm Benny (Good Luck Everyday) 09:49, September 26, 2016 (UTC)
 * Edit wars are inherent to the correctness of content. External editors - like the VSTF and yourself - are not the best placed to gauge the validity of either claim as we are not at home with the subject matter of that wiki. As such, we do not interfere in edit wars. It's their responsibility to communicate with each other and work out some compromise. It's not our call to decide. If they cannot work anything out, they should and ask for their assistance.  09:52, September 26, 2016 (UTC)

RiasFTW trolling in the gender wiki chat
Hi again, this user keep trolling and typing cuss word in Chat.... I a m B e n n y ♫  13:02, September 27, 2016 (UTC)
 * Done, thanks for reporting this. 14:19, September 27, 2016 (UTC)

IPs at Daviddizor Fanfiction Wikia
They're at it again, can you block them again?--BlueKraid (talk) 12:30, October 4, 2016 (UTC)
 * This begins to evolve into an edit war as opposed to mere vandalism. It's better to either seek local administrative intervention or, if that is not possible due to the administrator's inactivity, to file an adoption request for the wiki. 08:28, October 5, 2016 (UTC)

Huhh..I probably wrong...
Hi Lady Lostris, That's look like he/she doesn't make spam, this is Friend Code Exchange Board,so these probably the code, not spam O＿O. Sorry for wrong reporting.. B e n n y  12:29, October 18, 2016 (UTC)
 * Interesting. You're probably right. Fixing that :-) 12:41, October 18, 2016 (UTC)

Thanks!! B e n n y  12:42, October 18, 2016 (UTC)

Sam sockpuppets at the PvZ Wiki
Even after all we can to get rid of this, Sam sockpuppets are continuing to flood the wiki in general and keeps evading the blocks even after trying to use everything we can with the Abuse filter and IP blocking. Can you please range block this guy, (s)he's been trying to upload cuss words and pornography and try to impersonate Zambiealex. All the socks are the one's saying "Zambiealex", "totally spies", curse words, "sock", or "porn".

20:43, November 14, 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, but it seems like there is no blockable range to be found. 22:27, November 14, 2016 (UTC)

User on Barney Wiki that needs to be block for infinite
The user on Barney Wiki named Gayrod69 3 is vandalizing some articles. Here's the link: --Rodney16 (talk) 08:51, November 27, 2016 (UTC)
 * Dealt with. Ajraddatz (Talk) 09:17, November 27, 2016 (UTC)

Closing Account
Hello Lady Lostris! I was just wondering, can you please disable my account? I already used the special:contact/close, but it is taking a while, so can you please disable my account? Thanks! Yes, and I am definitely sure about this! I have stopped using my account just in case. Also, I prepared it for disabling. From User:LegoFan60. Also, my brother would like his closed also, he is User:Dukethebrownengine. Same like me, he also prepared his for disabling. Thanks! --LegoFan60 (talk) 08:35, December 2, 2016 (UTC)‎
 * Hi! My brother forget to say what is user name was, anyways, it is User:LegoFan60. Yeah, also I am 100% sure I also want my account disabled. - Dukethebrownengine. :)


 * I'm sorry, but I cannot do that. There is a difference between globally blocking an account, preventing the user from ever using it again (which is what the VSTF can do), and disabling it (what only staff can do, and which is what you requested). I'm sure that Fandom staff will get to it shortly. If you, Dukethebrownengine, would like your account disabled as well, you too should send in a request to Fandom staff via Special:CloseMyAccount. Hope this will get resolved soon for the both of you. 07:43, December 2, 2016 (UTC)

Multiple accounts
Sorry if you're the wrong person to tell about this sort of thing, but it appears that the user Willkwi at appears to be an alternate account for its operator. Just thought someone should know. - Erik the Mad (talk) 03:06, December 16, 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure what you mean. What operator are you talking about. 10:30, December 16, 2016 (UTC)

Need help blocking a user.
See if you could range block this user: Mewpoop. No matter what we do we can't keep him out of our wikia. Some of his IPs are 208.123.223.254 and 185.89.248.35. See if you could range block him. I would if I knew how on my wikia. - Gamecubesarecool189 (talk) 05:26, December 19, 2016‎ (UTC)
 * There is no range between his IPs to block, so unfortunately, there isn't much to do save for blocking him if he returns. 07:06, December 19, 2016 (UTC)

Globally Blocked?
Greeting Lostris! I have noticed that this user (Delete Log) vandalised Scubby Dubby Wiki, althought that user was blocked by local admin, but his username and his behavior is exactly violate wikia rules, maybe this user need to be globally blocked? Thanks！ http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/central/images/8/88/Washing_Machine.png/revision/latest?cb=20161204163456 Benny✍ 09:48, January 11, 2017 (UTC)
 * Check, thanks for the report. 15:32, January 11, 2017 (UTC)

Vandalizers
We need you, Lady Lostris, the almighty janitor, to clean this mess up!

Edit war
I need help with a user who is starting edit wars over actual facts http://ttte.wikia.com/wiki/User:Skullzproductions he says what another user and I have put is fake yet I've given him the definition of our fact and it still isn't working. -- Huge Paranormal Fan (talk) 04:30, February 1, 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, but edit wars fall outside the scope of the VSTF. Please contact local administrators instead. 07:37, February 1, 2017 (UTC)

Jack3109812 sock.
I wondered: could block Jack3109812 throughout Fandom line, for the following reason, Sock and trolling.
 * We're already aware of said user and they're being dealt with appropriately. Thank you for the notice though. 14:17, February 2, 2017 (UTC)

Korean Spam
Hello,

I'm a regular contributor at the Noblesse Wiki. We had two cases of Korean spammers since yesterday. The spammers had written gibberish in the general discussion. I hope this isn't something serious. And thank you for the prompt action.

Edit:We just had a third Korean spammer. This is disconcerting since we've never faced something like this before. I have reported the aforesaid user.

Aster scaber (talk) 13:32, May 17, 2017 (UTC)Aster scaber
 * Korean spam is not new to VSTF, it's across all wikis (but I believe I already told you that before) and it's been happening for months now. Most of these spambots are getting caught, reported and blocked. VSTF don't want to make a global abuse filter against it as the spambots will keep changing the spam tactics, and the only thing users can do about it now is report them. -- Cube - shaped   garbage can  11:00, May 18, 2017 (UTC)


 * Hey Aster scaber. Apologies on the spam you've been encountering. We are currently handling these accounts as they come. If you encounter more, please do make a report on Report:Spam. We're chipping away at them.

Possible spambot
Hey lady Lostris, we're having a bit of a problem dealing with this spammer who kept on posting links maliciously in our discussions thread. IP Blocking doesn't seem to work there and this user keeps on coming back everyday as sockpuppet numerously, the way they post seems a bit irregular either so I presume its a bot. Is there something you can do about it as its getting annoying dealing with them. -- 11:10, July 21, 2017 (UTC)
 * Can you provide me with a link to the user and the wiki in question? 14:55, July 21, 2017 (UTC)
 * Here ma'am http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/Dklinkilj -- 18:12, July 21, 2017 (UTC)
 * I apologize for the late response. The user you linked seems to have no obvious connection to another user, supporting your theory that they're a bot. Feel free to leave links to several of the other spammers. Maybe we can find a similarity in their edits and set up an abuse filter. If not, I'm afraid there is not much more we can do than block, clean, and repeat, with which we can always assist you. 09:09, July 29, 2017 (UTC)

Please block this user
Hi Lady Lostris, This user [|Scoobybay1998] is a sockpuppet of Scoobybay26. She edited other people's casts without permission. Please block this user. Thank you. AnneFrankInitialDHero (talk) 04:27, July 28, 2017 (UTC)
 * You don't really need permission to edit? If this is a content related issue (like inserting false info), then it's best to contact the local administrators, as they are better placed to deal with that type of edits. 05:52, July 28, 2017 (UTC)

Super Why! Wiki
http://www.superwhybettersite.wikia.com

Please go to this link and restore Template:Discontinued. --Sam Spielberg (talk) 21:46, August 7, 2017 (UTC)


 * Hey, that template was deleted by staff member Merrystar. We do not hold authority to overrule staff actions. You may try to leave Merrystar a message on her talk page asking for the reason why it was deleted/if it can be restored or by sending a message to Special:Contact/general inquiring about the template deletion. (Apologies LL for responding on your talk page).
 * @Ripto: No apologies needed, we're all just here to help people, and I would've said the same thing as you anyway :-) 22:37, August 7, 2017 (UTC)

Spammer
Hello! Can you please ban this guy permanently? This guy is named "Francis Daniel Templado". He vandalized everything and created 2 spam pages in Tetris Wiki. I have to clean them up where anyone vandalized them. Link: http://tetris.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/Francis_Daniel_Templado --JJBisHere15 (talk) 16:00, August 8, 2017 (UTC)
 * Hmm, doesn't really seem like vandalism but more a difference of opinion on how certain info should be displayed. That's hardly worth a permanent ban, but rather something that the local administrators should take a look at. In their absence, you can . 16:29, August 8, 2017 (UTC)

Bridgeopedia Wiki
On Bridgeopedia Wiki - http://bridgeopedia.wikia.com there is serious vandalism performed by two different IP addresses that are likely the same user. The user has completely defaced the wiki by replacing all article pages with nonsense/gibberish and creating gibberish talk pages. Xauroflaux, the wiki founder and the only admin currently, has been inactive for almost a month. Nestor Lozano (talk) 18:14, August 8, 2017 (UTC)
 * Done. Thank you for the report! 19:44, August 8, 2017 (UTC)
 * Should someone from Wikia (VSTF or other staff team) send an email to Xauroflaux, the wiki founder and ask if they have abandoned the project? It's curious to see almost a month of inactivity when the project is as small as it is now. Nestor Lozano (talk) 13:59, August 9, 2017 (UTC)
 * You can always take a look at the adopting process to see if/when FANDOM staff will take action. 19:58, August 9, 2017 (UTC)
 * Local admin note: The user account above is now indefinitely blocked on the wiki for being a vandalism-only account. Any more reports by the user may need to be taken with a grain of salt. — Xauroflaux  Talk 17:42, August 18, 2017 (UTC)

Issues
We are currently having some spam and flooding on the Battle For Dream Island Wiki, and a user known as Febuarie has been disrespecting opinions, spamming, death threats, etc. Can i report this user right here and now? Bracelety is the true meaning of BFDI. Let&#39;s get her out of the TLC. (talk) 01:53, August 10, 2017 (UTC)
 * Can you link me to an example of the spam you're encountering? As for that user, it seems to be more of a social conflict, which is not within the purview of the VSTF. Please report such behavior to the local administrators or, in their absence, you can . 05:23, August 10, 2017 (UTC)


 * Well, this user has NOT been resolved. And i even contacted FANDOM, thay won't do crap. I don't know what to do at this point, as the admins on that wiki are inacive during the day. They stopped the spam, but the social conflict is flooding the activity. Please help. Bracelety is the true meaning of BFDI. Let&#39;s get her out of the TLC. (talk) 21:51, August 17, 2017 (UTC)
 * I am sorry, but social conflicts are outside the purview of the VSTF, there is nothing I can do about that. Social issues are something for the local administrators to take action on (or FANDOM Staff in their absence). If you feel like their coverage is insufficient for the needs of the wiki, you can perhaps ask them to grant you sysop rights as well. 22:02, August 17, 2017 (UTC)

Help with an IP
Hello, we at Greatest Movies Wikia have problems with anonymous users and are currently holding a community votation to have them blocked on the wikia through staff intervention; you can see proof of this here. But it happens that this anon and this anonare ruining the wiki right now and even removed the votation notice on the main page and posting fake rules. Examples of his vandalism can be found here. It seems that it is the same person because he is editing the same pages. Can you help us with a range block or anything that could prevent him from editing the wiki? Can you block it and protect the main page after the votation notice has been restored? --Masson Thief (talk) 09:17, August 10, 2017 (UTC)
 * Done. 11:09, August 10, 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you, I found out this other page which is spam. Can you delete this one too? --Masson Thief (talk) 11:24, August 10, 2017 (UTC)
 * Done and placed a range block for that IP as well. 12:06, August 10, 2017 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much, I will contact you again in case he returns. --Masson Thief (talk) 12:36, August 10, 2017 (UTC)

Other Problems
Hello again. These person on Awful Movies Wiki (a sister wiki of the other one) keeps vandalizing a page with sockpuppets. Can you do something about it? Admins aren't enough to block him. This is the user and these is his current sockpuppet here. I also forgot to tell you that an IP vandal on Greatest Movies Wikia set up your user profile there as you can see here. This was because a user who was passing by had the bright idea to link this wikia to him despite our community warned him that the IP was a vandal. --Masson Thief (talk) 09:54, August 11, 2017 (UTC)
 * While all evidence support that those users are indeed sockpuppets, there is no clear range we could block in hopes to slow them down. As such, there isn't much more we can do than just block, clean, and repeat. They'll get bored of it soon enough. 14:55, August 11, 2017 (UTC).

Vandalism clean-up on Bridgeopedia Wiki
Thank you for standing guard and cleaning up vandalism while I was away. I've given you content moderator rights in order to help with future tasks like this. However, please keep the following things in mind:


 * For a first block of an anonymous user, make sure that the duration is 72 hours or less
 * Do not hardblock IP addressess except in serious cases - most IP blocks should be anon only
 * When blocking a user, always notify the affected user on their talk page - you may use  to do so
 * When blocking users and/or deleting pages, don't use a reason with an interwiki link to a main Wikia site - use one of the options in the local drop down menu that link to local policies
 * When reverting vandalism, use the local rollback tool rather than a VSTF script that links interwiki to a main Wikia site

If you have any questions, please ask. Again, thank you for standing guard, and I'm sorry that I had to be away for a month without notice. I should be editing frequently here again. — Xauroflaux  Talk 17:59, August 14, 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the rights, but I won't be needing them, as they're already included in my VSTF rights. Additionally, I don't intend on monitoring that wiki if it isn't necessary due to your absence. However, if I would have to take action on that wiki again, I'll try to keep those guidelines in mind. 12:12, August 15, 2017 (UTC)

Arabic Version of the VSTF Wiki
I want to add an Arabic translation of the main page, but it was automatically identified as a "harmful edit" when I was actually adding the translation. I've copied its source:

Please add it for me. Thanks!

 * Thanks for your translation. It is now added. If there are any errors or typos with it, please let one of us know and we'll fix it. Thanks again for providing it.


 * You're welcome. :) ~Signed JustLeafy ( ͡| ͜' ͡| ) USER  WALL  19:22, September 14, 2017 (UTC)

Range Block?
The vandal returned, this time on the gaming wikias too. This one and this one are links to his latest account, and this is one of previous accounts along this, this and this. Can you issue a range block to try to keep him away from our wikis? --Masson Thief (talk) 18:56, September 6, 2017 (UTC)
 * Applied a couple IP blocks.
 * Thanks, but I found out he came on another of our wikis, too. Can you apply the same blocks there too? Here's the link to one of his profiles there link. --Masson Thief (talk) 12:04, September 7, 2017 (UTC)
 * Sure thing. Completed.

Please read
Hello, this anonymous user (92.24.145.91) vandalized everything, especially my user profile in Tetris Wiki. That user is from Hard Drop - Tetris Wiki called '''[http://harddrop.com/wiki/User:Tetris_is_cool_wants_revenge! Tetris is cool wants revenge!]'''. He's one of the worst user as a sock puppetry in Hard Drop - Tetris Wiki. Can you permanently ban him please? --JJBisHere15 (talk) 01:45, September 17, 2017 (UTC)


 * Hello there JJBisHere15. The link you provided is not a wiki under FANDOM and we do not hold any authority to issue any action there. Please get in touch with the local administrators of that website or the site staff.

Trouble on Weegeepedia
theres this user on weegeepedia called Yookaboy123 and he keeps editing my userpage can you tell him to stop, FANDOM already told him once, but he didn't listen, so if he doesn't listen again, globally ban him plz. --Felix Pls1 (talk) 03:17, September 18, 2017 (UTC)
 * Done. Your edit summaries towards them such as this are not OK to do. Please do not do that again towards anyone or you may encounter some global action from staff.
 * well hes back as Pr0j3ct 53nt13nt so keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't do any spamming on userpages --Felix Pls1 (talk) 22:23, September 20, 2017 (UTC)
 * Handled by staff.

Other troubles
Unfortunately it seems the IP block didn't work and our vandal returned to our wikis. Here are the links to his other profiles. Can you make another ranged block based on this new account on our wikis? 1, 2, 3, 4 --Masson Thief (talk) 01:41, September 27, 2017 (UTC)


 * profile on Awful Movies Wikia - profile on Awesome Games Wiki - third profile There are also these other profiles of another troll who keeps on posting racist messages on our wikis, can you help us globally block him, too?

--Masson Thief (talk) 22:02, October 28, 2017 (UTC)
 * These are more social issues than true vandalism, and as such, it falls outside the VSTF's purview. Please, who are better placed to deal with this. I hope the issue will get resolved soon. 22:06, October 28, 2017 (UTC)
