Question
On my wiki, adimins are quite active, blocking IPs and users causing vandals and spams. So if a user/IP is blocked, then too it should be reported to you? — ¤ U LTIMATE S UPREME ¤ (T@lk) 02:44, June 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry, its me again. Can u help here too? Thanx. — ¤ U LTIMATE S UPREME ¤ (T@lk) 12:45, June 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * Hey, if the admins have dealt with a vandal, you don't need to report it to us. If there's a spambot that you think is likley to hit other wikis, put it on Report:Users and IPs needing checked, and we'll check it out.
 * As for the forum question, it looks like it's been answered on the admin forum - if you'd like to get my attention on the community wiki please use my message wall on that wiki in the future. Thanks --  Random Time  13:34, June 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * How will I know if its a spambot or not? — ¤ U LTIMATE S UPREME ¤ (T@lk) 03:18, June 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * If it's advertising external sites, it's a spambot. Otherwise it's a vandal --  Random Time  12:09, June 24, 2012 (UTC)

something weird happened
hello admin. why did you reverted my edits? i didn't do anything wrong. before undoing again, please take care of the vandals and reply to my profile. explain why u did this. it is not fair that you are not taking action on the 2 wikis rubberfruit and shake-it-up. why??? just why? answer me! and i'm sorry for whatever i did. please take care, this is serious, why we need those 2 wikis if they are dead? and was vandalised by random vandals (including my retarded friend who is now in vacation)

FunnyBoy2012 17:12, June 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * Your post was offensive, so I removed it - the wikis won't be closed, so I removed them from the report page. I've dealt with some of the vandalism, and will do a bit more later. --  Random Time  17:14, June 10, 2012 (UTC)

thanks
ok thanks for reply now i understand why the wikis can't be closed but just a small question: are you also going to delete all those useless pages? i saw recently you deleted some comments that my retarded friend made but you need to delete all those pages as well and their comments and block the user that has the ip starting with 24. i will link you the page that includes MOST of pages needing to be deleted:

http://rubberfruit.wikia.com/wiki/Delete_these_stupid_pages%21

thanks for taking your time! don't forget to look into other wikia as well! FunnyBoy2012 17:23, June 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * hello there RandomTime, i want to ask why the wiki hasn't been fully cleaned, the vandal hasn't been dealt with and the useless pages are still here, all i see cleaned are just a load of comments but pages are still here (152 pages). mind you if you visit the place again to clean it? and take care of the vandal that created page about sex, this is definitely not my joker friend, it must be a pedophile or something like that if you look at his offensive comment(s).


 * thank you and please take care of vandal. FunnyBoy2012 12:56, June 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi, I'd like to point out that this is something I'm doing voluntarily, and I don't have an awful lot of free time at the moment due to my real life which is taking precedent, feel free to ask the VSTF here, or I'll get to it when I can - I'm sorry, I just don't have the time at the moment to go through all those pages
 * Secondly, a point on your lanaguage - calling your friend "my retarded friend" - isn't very nice (even if they are actually mentally handicapped, there are much nicer ways of saying it). I've asked you not to do it before, please don't do it again. --  Random Time  13:35, June 15, 2012 (UTC)

Hello
Hi Random, I wanted to ask you if you are able to track down a certain IP on the Kaminomi Wiki. He is a former contributor, but decided to quit, and has vandalised the wiki and generally been a large nuisance. If you are able to see here, which I believe you can, he is using a proxy of some kind to bypass blocks, as well as discarding the IPs once he's done with them (he is baiting an administrator on the wiki with his last comment). If possible, could you please stop him from causing any more trouble? Time isn't really an issue here, since I can deal with his troublemaking for a while, but I'm wondering if it's possible to just prevent him from harassing users once and for all. Thank you for reading, Demise 14:36, June 25, 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi - the IP isn't in rbls's list of known proxies - but may well be one. Can you link to the former contributor's page so that I can see if there's a common range of IPs to block --  Random Time  14:39, June 25, 2012 (UTC)

Um, yes. This was his old account, and this was his latest account after he had disabled his own account. I'm not sure what motivated him to, but I believe that he may have been using this IP as well. As you can see, there are several...unsavory edits on it. If you need any more information, please ask, and I'll try to get it to you :) 10:15:18
 * Looking at their IPs, it looks like you should block 123.20.0.0/16 and 222.253.64.0/18. That should solve this issue --  Random Time  22:22, June 25, 2012 (UTC)

Reporting User
Hi Random

Sorry to bother, but a new user ( User:Milissa ) just came to a wiki I use ( http://potcoplayers.wikia.com/wiki/Pirates_Online_Players_Wiki ) and is behaving rather obnoxiously. I have warned her, and a strike is coming soon, but the actual reason I am reporting her is that when I left a message on her talk I noticed she used several other wikis, so I decided to check them out ( you can look for yourself too ). I discovered that on all these wikis she has very few edits and has been banned. It seems she just likes to join wikis, spam and then be a nuisance on chat, so I thought I would report her so that you can keep an eye on her. She is also banned on Community Central. I am not requesting her to be banned on the POTCO Players Wiki, as I can do that myself, but I just wanted to let you know.

Thanks

~ Jack Pistol
 * Hi, the VSTF don't have any way to monitor chat logs, no can we block users from chat - so we can't really do much in this case. Feel free to block Millisa on your wiki. --  Random Time  14:38, July 29, 2012 (UTC)


 * I am aware of that, but if you look through her contributions you will notice that she has been blocked on various wikis for vandalism and spamming. I am actually reporting this behaviour so that you can perhaps monitor her, in case she targets other wikis too. It seems as though the wikis she has been blocked on are very random and unrelated, which makes me think she has no real interest to use them, but rather to be a nuisance on them.

Mr Curious does it again
Lately he's been attacking me on random wikis and now created another ridiculous wiki User:Grand Hunter called "Hunting Rabbits season wiki". Can you find him and ban him please. I forgot to get the wiki to show you.--Brainiac Adam 09:49, August 4, 2012 (UTC)

Oh
I see taht Sonic & Gobo Fraggle has attempted to report me here, as I am reporting him now. The difference is that I was reverting his vandalism, and now he has repeatedly spammed his vandalism, has posed as another user, spread lies about me, in addition to giving away personal information about me. ralok (talk) 01:17, December 22, 2012 (UTC)

I am sorry about this. . . I didnt ask for any of this, but I take the transmission of accurate information very seriously. . . I didnt want to have this micro-war with this guy. . . I just want accurate information. Check with the admins of any of the wikis I am with. . . I take accurate information very seriously, going so far as to track-down books to verify information. ralok (talk) 01:59, December 22, 2012 (UTC)

please help me
please. .. Sonic & Gobo Fraggle is giving away information he aquired by posing as another user. I did not give him permission to tell people my name is Eric and I have a lot of very good reasons for not wanting people to know who I am, I have a right to that privacy. . . please stop him, I know he is a sock-puppet for Crazy Diddy Kong to circumvent the block, the wikia staff confirmed he has the same IP address as him. . . and he has the exact same obsession with "whatnots" as crazy diddy kong. . . please I cant take it anymore, this user is tormenting me. . . he has thrown false accusations at me, and he is giving away my personal information. . . please PLEASE do somethin. ralok (talk) 21:19, December 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I should've made this a little more clear last time I replied to you.
 * The problem is, I don't know enough about the subject matter of your wiki to even begin to know who's in the right here - in addition, what I see here is a social issue, not a clear cut case of "this is vandalism" - we've been instructed to direct these issues to staff. If you'd like some help with this issue, please send a message to staff at Special:Contact.
 * As for the matter of personal information, I can't see any of that in the diff you linked. --  Random Time  22:00, December 23, 2012 (UTC)


 * HE is giving the personal information HERE, on this site. WHEN HE REPORTED ME FOR VANDALISM HE GAVE MY NAME!!!!! AND HERE, AND HERE he didnt get my last name correct. But I consider even giving my first name away a gross violation of my privacy. You cant tell me this isnt a violation of my user rights, for other users to give away my personal information. ralok (talk) 22:25, December 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * VSTF cannot help you with this matter. Please contact staff if you would like help. 22:48, December 23, 2012 (UTC)

I am very sorry about this controversy and situation being dragged around. It seems to have finally been resolved (the user causing these controversies involving me has been blocked). . . again I am very. . . very sorry. As well his information giving my name seems to have been reverted by a kind staff member. . . sorry to have bothered you and this wiki. ralok (talk) 18:40, December 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * I suspected you'd get it sorted if you contacted staff, sorry for not telling you this sooner. --  Random Time  18:46, December 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * I didnt know that the option was still valid actually, I hadnt been here before nor had i noticed it . . . i thought the procedure for these sort of controversies had been changed or something. I was confused and upset about the situation . . . I am glad it got sorted out, but i am sorry that you and this site was bothered by it. ralok (talk) 18:48, December 24, 2012 (UTC)

Possible Spambot
Hi RT! Nice talking to you after a long time. Could you take a look at this please. Since staffs don't check their talkpages regularly, I thought I would get a faster response from you ^_^ ~ Ultimate  Supreme  13:36, January 7, 2013 (UTC)

 * Thanx for the honour and your help. ~ Ultimate  Supreme  16:06, January 7, 2013 (UTC)
 * I put your name there as it was one of the things that my first version of the filter matched (that's why I added the extra "no spaces" bit) --  Random Time  16:07, January 7, 2013 (UTC)
 * Imo, user_age=0 would suffice. ~ Ultimate  Supreme  16:10, January 7, 2013 (UTC)

Clarification
Hi, Randomtime. As you may have heard, there was some scandal involved on a fairly new wiki where several users obtained bureaucrat and demoted the founder and his admins.

Unfortunately, I was promoted in the mix-up, but only found out after someone came to me and confessed that they had promoted me, and now I was in trouble. I just wanted to clarify that I had nothing to do with any taking over or abuse of power.

Danke!

Toto11 - canceled request
I noticed that you removed my request from the Users and IPs page. I'm not sure if you've decided that this doesn't need to be acted on, especially since most of those accounts were only used to try to get back into the chat room. But if so, that may help. I am considering giving him another chance. If he can curb his impatience long enough for his block to expire on the Phineas and Ferb Wiki in a few more days, I will remove the chatban.

This may be an excerise in futility, but if he continues to cause problems after that, then it will be clear that it is his doing. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 15:07, February 5, 2013 (UTC)
 * When RT edited the page to remove the report, he noted in his edit summary "blocked". As in, when we remove things, they've been taken care of. -- sulfur (talk) 15:58, February 5, 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, as Sulfur says, I blocked the user. They started harrassing me after I blocked on central, and I was unaware they were doing the same to you. When you reported them, I realised that this harassment was deserving of a bock --  Random Time  01:39, February 6, 2013 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure how I missed that. When I read it this morning, the edit summary looked blank. Another thing I missed was the fact that his original chatban was for 1 hour and he couldn't even wait that long before trying to get back into the chat room. Thinking that he would sit still for three or four days for the block to end was not realistic on my part. Thanks for taking care of this. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 02:20, February 6, 2013 (UTC)

Vampire Diaries Wiki
Hey, I was wondering if you could set up some filters on our wiki. I've tried messing around with the Abuse Filter, but the code is a little complicated for me. Could you set up one for profanity and also if its possible one for repeated text over and over like spam? Thanks. User:Ehpacha (talk) 07:38, February 15, 2013 (UTC)
 * Not unless you know roughly what's going to to be posted. If you're having a problem with some spam, let us know and we can make one to block that.
 * I've added a profanity filter to the wiki, feel free to edit it if you understand what's going on, or let me know what you want to add here and I'll put it there. Thanks go to User:UltimateSupreme, who wrote this and I found whilst looking for example words to block --  Random Time  16:13, February 15, 2013 (UTC)
 * Okay, Thanks. It's just recently this one user was offending several users, but for now she hasn't been a problem for at least a day or two. If they do start spamming pages I'll make sure to leave a message here. I just want something for profanity because it also tends to cause problems when people curse at each other. User:Ehpacha (talk) 22:04, February 15, 2013 (UTC)

AbuseFilter question
I didn't see a place I could specifically ask AbuseFilter questions, so I hope you don't mind me asking you directly. I'm trying to prevent a user who uses a range of IP addresses beginning with 94. from being able to post to user talk pages. Would you know how to set up the statement to select only those users whose addys begin with that pattern. I realise this will squelch a lot of IP addys from being able to communicate on user talk pages, but given how few IP users actually avail themselves of user talk pages anyway, this seems a better sacrifice than completely blocking people in a series of range blocks. — CzechOut 02:26, April 6, 2013 (UTC)
 * As you say, this will block a lot of users, use with care --  Random Time  08:19, April 6, 2013 (UTC)
 * Ahhh, I shoulda thought about nesting like that. Thanks :) — CzechOut 10:33, April 6, 2013 (UTC)

Hey Ransom,

Sorry if I put all of those QATest Wikis, I thought they were spam :P. Anyway, what are those Wikis used for? Thank you and have a great day!

Regional Ban?
I brought this up with Wikia Staff, they told me to go to VSTF, so:

A certain user, who was banned a long while ago, continuously comes back on various anonymous identities and various accounts, even after being banned each time, to cause mayhem, fighting and just generally be a troll. And now, he has made an account to impersonate a chat mod of our wiki to try to get him banned (we banned the imposter).

He was banned for constant breaking of our rules, from impersonation of Yogscats members, mass vandalism, severe cussing and abuse of multiple sub-accounts. Each time we ban him, he simply comes back under a different name. The Admins are tired of having to constantly deal with him, so a few of us considered a regional ban on his region. However, one Admin suggested that we look for a better solution to this problem than regional banning.

So, is there another solution to this issue other than regional banning. We have all agreed that we want this person gone, he has caused too much trouble on our wiki. Thank you for your time.

Is there anything you can do about this? We constantly ban him, and he just keeps coming back under a new name. We're sick of it, we want him gone.

Thanks, Supertoastfairy, Yogscast Wiki Admin

This page is for titles needing deletion wikia-wid
I got a question on that comment "This page is for titles needing deletion wikia-wid", how is that report for pages that needed to be deleted from a wiki or something like that?--MuppeTickeler (talk) 21:14, May 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi, put the pages on either Report:Vandalism or Report:Spam if they are vandalism or spam. But both these pages have already been cleaned up by an admin a month ago, so I don't see why you'd need to report them here --  Ransom Time  21:25, May 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * For the references, I wanted to add pages that need to be restored and the admin being demoted and blocked. That's why I need some method to restoring the pages and punishing the admin from the wiki for that kind of abuse and staff won't take any action about him. That's why I needed a secret way of blocking him from the site.--MuppeTickeler (talk) 21:36, May 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * Ok, and you think that we'd help you do this because? --  Ransom Time  21:39, May 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * The reason I need help getting that violation solved because it's not right to delete gallery pages and relevant pages. Other wikis have gallery pages, but that wiki needs to learn how to accept them. That's why I need you and the staff to restore the pages that he just deleted with bad faith.--MuppeTickeler (talk) 21:44, May 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * Wikis are ran by different people, with different standards of what they want to look like and what content to allow. It is not, and should not be out job to enforce one way of thinking or editing about every wiki on Wikia, that wouldn't work. You are of course, welcome to start your own wiki. --  Ransom Time  21:49, May 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * It's not because of the wiki, it's because of the admin doing something wrong. That's why I'm reporting abuse of rights. I know the Sonic wiki allows galleries and I need Simon to chill out or he can get into trouble with the staff. The staff can also notify the admin who promoted him to keep him demoted.--MuppeTickeler (talk) 21:58, May 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * You said you contacted staff, we cannot help. We're done here --  Ransom Time  22:00, May 19, 2013 (UTC)

Titles needing deleted revert
I wanted to ask you that report that you just reverted was a false rollback. I added a list of titles that need to be removed from the wiki due to those reasons like irrelevant, file replacements, duplicate pages or anything like that including to ToU violations if the page is verified as inappropiate, spam or vandalism. I might think the listed pages that need to be deleted from the wiki stays on there until the listed pages are deleted from the wiki.--MuppeTickeler (talk) 23:08, May 23, 2013 (UTC)
 * The VSTF are explicitly not local admins, all the pages you added are local policy issues, not Terms of Use issues, and we aren't going to delete them. I'd recommend having a community discussion on adopting the wiki if there are no active admins. In addition, please use Report:Vandalism, not titles needing deleted for vandalism issues on a single wiki. As I have mentioned in the post above, titles needing deleted is a page for titles that have been spammed cross-wiki, and need to be removed from all wikis on Wikia. --  Ransom Time  00:26, May 24, 2013 (UTC)

Queen Misery
That horrible user is go going to regret that she was ever born. What annoys me about Queen Misery is that she blocked users that weren't even members of the Villains RPG wiki. To see what I mean, here's the block log from said wiki: http://villainsrpg.wikia.com/wiki/Special:log/block. Ranging from Holidays of 2011 to Summer 2012, she blocked users that weren't even contributors of the wiki. It really annoys me that I see that she blocked the users, when they didn't contribute.

Looking back to your previous thread (http://vstf.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:Randomtime?oldid=13466#AlarconHills), she lied saying that "Alarcon" was trying to lie to other users, when I didn't see him doing it. To prove that Alarcon is honest: http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/TheWizardOfAlarcon. When she said that "it insects her that he calls her a bad admin, and tries to get her banned, when this is how he regularly responds to her on every wiki he was on", Alarcon doesn't respond to her like that on his every wiki; instead, Alarcon responds like that on Misery's every wikis. If you know what I mean, Alarcon responds to her on every wiki they were on together.

Additionally, Queen Misery is slandering Alarcon's name (http://vstf.wikia.com/wiki/Report:User_profile_headers?diff=prev&oldid=10320), when she said that Alarcon leaves abusive messages on Admin talkpages. Alarcon doesn't leave abusive notes on the administration talkpages of the very admin pages (i.e. CD-TDA on Total Drama Wiki, Trellar on Community Wikia, Lulucas77 on Total Drama Danger Island, etc.). Plus, she claims that Alarcon created blogs insulting administrators on other wikis. Alarcon didn't create any blogs, which insulted admins on other wikis. As far as I can see, only registered users create blogs. Finally, TheWizardOfAlarcon isn't the one who wanted wiki-wide admin rights, it was the original AlarconHills. Queen Misery has gone too far!

The only time that Alarcon was bad was when he wrote "Pendragon is a Stupid F*g!" on his user page, left bad notes on user (talk)pages, and created hate pages about the users who tormented him, similar to "Carrie" where the said character got back at her bullies, and killed them alive.

If you think Queen Misery has pushed herself too far, she needs to be banned temporarily, so she wouldn't wear herself out trying to report sister accounts of icekid/Alarcon/offcampusstudent/Synergy.
