Forum:Ideas for the preservation of the AVC

I was talking this over in the IRC and I may have a solution. One anti-vandal organization, the AVC. This version would be divided into subgroups:
 * 1 for the fighting of vandals in the UNSC pages
 * 1 for the fighting of vandals in the Covenant pages
 * 1 for the fighting of vandals in the Flood pages
 * 1 for the fighting of vandals in the Forerunner pages
 * 1 for the fighting of vandals in the User pages and the game pages themselves

Each group would have an elected official, elected by the people of the group. Each group leader would vote for a leader over the entire AVC, with the guy becoming his vice-president. In the result of a tie, it goes to the people of the AVC. The president and vice-president would be admins.

This AVC would be public. Its only publicity would be a userbox added to the page of the user, if said user wishes to display it.

Warning system. Only leaders of the subgroups and the admins may warn vandals of a possible ban for their acts. Other users cannot post remarks that may encourage vandals on the ssid vandals talk page. If so they would be givin three strikes.
 * Warning
 * Final Warning
 * Removed from AVC

As for reporting the vandal itself they would be mentioned by IP or user name, if they have one. The reports would say the IP and that they've been seen hitting (incert subgroups here). After the problem has been delt with the section on said vandal would be removed.

User:Phil.e. and Myself hope to hold a meeting on the IRC Wednesday. All are invited to present and share ideas. Admins of Halopedia and the big wigs from central are encouraged to attend! Also feel free to share ideas on this forum.
 * Some have expressed dislike of the warning system idea. Whatever is done there shouldn't be a torrent of warnings on the page. An idea could be a friendly yet firm warning saying what they have been doing is considered vandalism. This can be made by any user. If they continue their actions then they could receive a second warning saying that it is their second warning and if they don't stop they will be banned for a period of time. This one is made by an admin or subgroup leader. If the person keeps up, then they would receive a third and final warning saying its their last chance and the next vandal act will result in a ban. This would be for the admins to give. After that appropriate dissiplinary action would take place. Also in the messages would be a link to a well written page stating the wikia code of conduct and what is and isnt considered vandalism.--Spartan 1138 21:01, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Thoughts

 * I am putting as much time as possible to save the AVC.I hope we succeed.[[Image:General.png|20px]] Grievous797 Comm


 * I could go for this. I might not be thinking about it too much or something, but to me the problem is the negative attention vandals get when they vandalise, not the group itself. The AVC does its job well. So, its all good to me. Also, H:BP lays out pretty clear what vandalism is, and it is the user's responsibility to read that page, not ours. I have generally blocked blatant vandals for a long time while warning people that may have been vandalising or may have just made a mistake. -- ED ( talk )(shockfront) 21:27, 3 April 2007 (UTC)


 * I don't think so...*RR considers*...we'll see, but I'm not sure. Cheers, Rainbow Six Vegas  [[Image:R6V_1.jpg|20px]] - Frag 'n Clear ]]- [[Image:R6V_2.jpg|20px]] - Smoke 'n Clear ]]- [[Image:R6V_3.jpg|20px]] -  Suppressors On  - 22:12, 3 April 2007 (UTC)


 * I`ve sacrificed the FoH Special Ops and the Internal Police.This better work.[[Image:General.png|20px]] Grievous797 Comm


 * Personally, I think the AVC should be given a second chance. All we need to do is create a policy, and BAM! Problem solved. We should act like the Spartans in our missions: covert, discreet, and efficient. -- Caboose  [[Image:Caboose.jpg|35 px]] Orange Juice  and  Cookies  21:27, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

 * This sounds like a great idea. The AVC is good at what it does; it just needs to keep on-wiki feedback for the vandals to a minimum, so the warnings page doesn't become a "trophy case" that they are aiming to get into.  :)   — Catherine o' the ComTeam 02:44, 5 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Not every page will fit into a category listed above. What if a page involved more than one category? Will you have sub-subgroups?! Why not just have the AVC as one entity, who looks after every page. --  Manticore  [[Image:Fleet Admiral.jpg|25px]] TalkundefinedCSV 08:18, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
