User blog:Techieberry38/Guide For What To Do With Vandals-By techieberry38

Hey everyone! This is a guide to dealing with vandals and trolls. You never know, sooner or later, one or more of those wiki ruiners such as pritticurr4eva and thatwhiteguy123 could come to this wiki, and that will be bad! So, us admins need to protect this community we've worked hard to build! So, how do we protect our wiki(s)? This guide will teach you how!

What makes a user a vandal or troll?
A user is just an ordinary user- unless the user starts ruining pages or uploading bad images or insulting people. If the user does the following or something just as nasty, the person is a vandal. If the user does this to make people angry, then the user is a troll. Vandals and trolls are BAD and must be stopped as soon as possible. In other words, vandals and trolls are wiki ruiners. Of course, they target other places too, but the admins or mods there will take care of them so they don't ruin their site. We need to do the same with our precious wikis!

How do you stop these wiki ruiners?
On the wiki, if you are an admin, you can block these horrible users yourself. For info on blocking see Help:Blocking. Then go to the user's contributions page and click block. If you aren't an admin, you can go find one and leave a message stating that there's a wiki ruiner, stop him/her. The notified admin will take care of the rest. Or, you can revert the wiki ruiner's edits by going to the page's edit history and clicking undo.

What will happen if these vandals and trolls aren't stopped?
The wiki gets ruined. All good, useful info is deleted and all good media is taken down, replaced with something crappy. People will leave and for the worst, the wiki could be closed or you have to request that the wiki be closed, just because the community let some vandals and trolls run wild through the wiki. If you don't want this to happen, protect our precious wikis!
