User:Histephen
Vandalized a couple of pages (included declaring "Al's College Bar and Grill" a "Featured Article"?), then made a page just to post a lot of uploaded porn. While it was decent porn, this user still earned an infinite ban. --thisniss 17:50, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
 * DAMN! The one day someone posts decent porn and I miss it!--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 19:13, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

User:Linktochaos
Given one day block for second vanity/vandalism page, Obese. Another account from same IP autoblocked. --thisniss 17:01, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

User:Pwner and User:Pwnd
Blocked these two, and an associated account from same IP as "Pwner". They tag-teamed to create a page, "SUDZY THE NOID," to post homophobic attack on both that page and talk page about another user. Infinite ban - no reason I could see to allow them another chance, as these were their only contributions to the wiki.--thisniss 15:43, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

User:Stolpk
Clicking "randompage" and posting factiness on everyone he can find. Gave a momentary chance to perform a gut check.--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 20:27, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

User:Dylanaverysucks
Created 3 consecutive pages about nothing. Might have been a joke, invited user to discuss. Ban is one week.--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 02:16, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

User:SuttButt03
Posted a page about himself ("Matt Connelly") instead of using his userpage. Was given warning, and a link to his user page with instructions to post there. Ignored advice and warning, earned a 2 hour block.--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 01:37, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

User:Shrinesh
Blanked Hindu with a legitimate concern. There was a brief discussion, but he came back and blanked it again. One week ban.--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 18:09, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

User:Lochnessmonster

User:Tricia760
Vandalized by "correction" Democratic Party page, Real Americans, Penis. Blanked Republican Party. Could be just be a Point Misser, but won an Infinite Ban (along w/ one other from same IP) unless contested.--thisniss 12:06, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

User:Point
A quick block (2 hours) so he will know that making pages about every single person in his family is not welcome on a Colbert-centric wiki. A request for communication was made...we'll see how the user responds.--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 05:10, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
 * User:Point responded by coming back and posting on his 3 pet pages "Bradley", "Bradley's brother", and "Bradley's mother". The ban is 1 week.--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 02:52, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

User:Imneilyoung
Blanked Stephen Colbert with "Bradley" crap. One week.--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 04:47, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

User:Durza51
User:El Payo had the pleasure of dealing with this guy, who had the nerve to delete the content on the page God. Block is one week.

Blasphemy!--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 22:09, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

User ignored questions, repeatedly deleted satire from George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and Gitmo. 2 hour block.--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 18:46, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

User:Peetahz
Blocked for a month for posting stupidity about someone he/she knows personally. Both pages Kyles friend and Kyle douglas were pwn'd.--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 18:18, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

User:Chaltab
After deleting what he called "gross inaccuracies and opinions", User:Chaltab said: "Once again, 'truthiness' and Colbert are irrelevant to me. Stephen Colbert is a jackass and his alternate reality shouldn't be presented as fact on any Wiki. --Chaltab 16:47, 14 March 2007 (UTC)" I then relieved him/her of the burden of posting on this wiki.--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 16:52, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

User:Filmfollower
Created page to make fun of peer, one week ban.--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 16:20, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

User:Notokaykid13
Blanked out District of Colombia, replaced text with idiocy. Banned for 1 week, warned on talk page.--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 15:51, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

User:Josh Rouse
Repeated vandalism, ignoring warnings, he won one month. Good for him!--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 20:53, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

User:Amadscientist
Blocked for Two Weeks. Posted extensive liberal propaganda. Told him to come back when he becomes an It-getter--Lewser 18:17, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * User responded to requests to discuss edits, was reinstated almost immediately, this note is late.--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 17:45, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

User:Recolax
Blocked for three months. In retrospect, it probably should have been an infinite ban, but he only blanked a comment page, and I wasn't sure how lenient we are these days. Feel free to upgrade his ban as you see fit.--Lewser 18:17, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

User:Kidstutorkids
Blocked infinite. All this user does is flog their tutoring business.--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 21:38, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

User:John wede
User:John wede has been posting what looks like another "flog". This one looks like an ad for Marvel's new comic. However, he claims it contains a picture of Stephen Colbert on a bus ad. Can anyone confirm if this is actually in the comic (he says it's not online)?

Thanks--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 22:19, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Another user discovered that what User:John wede was claiming was truthy! Stephen Colbert's face is on the side of a bus in a new comicbook.


 * All flogs have been lifted.--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 21:38, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

User:Volderbeek
Was banned for a week due to replacng content with a spam message.--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 21:46, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
 * It is a joke about the actual Colbert Nation board so maybe he could be asked to integrate into somethign rather than blanking pages. --Esteban Colberto 21:51, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, will unban him, and post a very stern warning.--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 21:53, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

User:Davidjack
Banned until March 1, 2007, created page with racist name (we finally figured out how to deal with them, check "policy" page. (forgot to add)--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 21:51, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

User:Palacios_85
Blanking pages with comments that seemed to mean he didn't like the comments (thought they might be racist), but then went overboard by adding other stupid things. Please check his "contributions"

Ban is infinite. (forgot to add here)--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 21:49, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Blocked User
User:Brothersr5@cox.net vandalized Stephen Colbert and has earned a one month ban (ending March 3, 2007). This user appears to be working in cahoots with User:Alextwa due to the subject matter and style of edits being very similar.

User:Alextwa is banned until February 7, 2007, for "repeatedly removing warning tags on pages". He has beened many times before.

I bring this up because of something User:Pro-Lick pointed out (I forget where exactly).

User:Alextwa claims to work for a large record company and only posts performers on that label. So, it seems we may have a Microsoft paying for Wikipedia edits on our hands? Either way the commercialism makes me sick.

Please give your opinions.--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 19:21, 3 February 2007 (UTC)


 * User:Realityisacommodity appears to belong to the same group, editing the same types of pages.--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 22:32, 7 February 2007 (UTC)


 * The thing that disturbs me about this, and that also makes me doubt the "pay for placement" a little, is that the writing itself is just so bad. I find it almost impossible to imagine that a major record label would pay someone to make edits on a wiki site when that person couldn't spell or construct a basic grammatical sentence.  Why bother?  Their edits are bound to get reverted because they're more likely to get noticed.  While I find the behavior of "Alextwa" (& company) suspicious, it's far more disturbing to think that he/she/they might be getting paid. It was pretty clear from "Alextwa"'s talk page rantings and the pieces s/he posted that this was not a well-balanced, adult corporate "lackey."  Nobody fakes spelling or angst that embarrassing. This doesn't change the banning procedure.  It just means we might have to expect more of this in the future.  I think the new "flog" templates are helpful for marking this kind of activity, too.--thisniss 06:55, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Re: the badness of it all, I agree with you coompletely and would like to add that what the corporations are paying for is the illusion that a "fan" is willingly posting in homage of the object of their affection. Not only is the writing supposed to be at the same level as the target audience so too is the "look" of the page, which is why they post on MySpace, LiveJournal, and wikis, etc.  The idea is to get around paying people the market rate for their skills.--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 07:01, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Reviving Already Killed Pages
User:Adubz91 and his bacon fetish, if only it were funny. Or witty.--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 01:48, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Another Reanimator
User:Awesome23, the racist, has revived a page after it was deleted a few times.--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 23:03, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

=Moved From Main Admin Board Before This Page Was Created=

Blocks
I had to block User:Alextwa for 2 weeks for his/her usual mischeivousness. Another user, User:Brothersr5@cox.net, has been blocked for a day for eerily similar edits to User:Alextwa.

I suspect they may be the same person using different computers or friends. Regardless, the content is not Colbert-related and the posters take no time to learn the formatting or style for this wiki.

I have repeatedly posted notes and hints on User:Brothersr5@cox.net's talk page and he/she has ignored all help, very mush the same way User:Alextwa does.

They both are mostly harmless and seem like they just want to have fun, but are not communicating what their ideas are, they just post and ignore (most) discussion.

Just a heads-up for people who may be wondering what is going on with all the seemingly weird blocks and/or deletes.--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 23:12, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
