Esemono you have proven yourself worthy of induction into the Anti Vandal Coalition currently being run by Caboose. Click here to join!-- Caboose   Orange Juice  and  Cookies  07:30, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Where do you want me? -- Esemono 08:03, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I dunno, what squad do you want.-- Caboose  [[Image:Caboose.jpg|35 px]] Orange Juice  and  Cookies  02:41, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I guess in the deletion squad I'll be the most useful. -- Esemono 04:42, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Me too... I can't actually delete pages, but I do a lot of marking pages for deletion, especialy whenever I'm the only person on when a vandal tries to screw stuff up... also, I'll be doing the same kind of stuff as Delta squad every now and then, but it won't be limited to F.U.C.K's vandalisms. g u e s t y -p e r s o n y -t h i <font color="#00ff00">n <font color="#44ff44">g <font color="#99ff99">y  21:17, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

F.U.C.K Finding
I think that we could bookmark his contribs page, so if when he returns and screws things up, we know when and where immediately. --Pvt. Vamis Vinam 14:57, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Good idea. Do you know how to do that?-- Caboose   Orange Juice  and  Cookies  02:42, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Already done. Setting alert code to DEFCON 1, priority Alpha. --Pvt. Vamis Vinam 03:39, 26 February 2007 (UTC) (P.S. I just have it homepaged.)

71.38.27.170
This user has been vanadalizing the page User:Ares.117. He has been changing key facts (mainly names). Example: He changed Master Chief Petty Officer Marcus SPARTAN-098 to Master Chief Petty Officer Logan SPARTAN-098 and Petty Officer Second Class Chris SPARTAN-048 to Petty Officer Second Class Brian SPARTAN-048. I think we should do something about it.
 * --Master Gunnery Sergeant Hank J Wimbleton IVCOM 02:39, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Okay, Rot what action do you believe we should take?-- Caboose   Orange Juice  and  Cookies  02:40, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

I suppose warnings from several of us should suffice for now, but if he does something of this nature again, I would opt for a temp ban.
 * --Master Gunnery Sergeant Hank J Wimbleton IVCOM 07:00, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Vandal
The User: Captainjackhalooftheuss23sexship has vandalised the pages Halo Wars and Halo: Combat Evolved --Ares.117 01:15, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Ares.117 the center of attention
His userpage was seriously messed with today by User:Im.always.watching.you. I told him to stop (and none to nicely) on his talk page, but if you'll look at Ares's userpage's history, you'll see the maliciousness behind the vandalism and the need to ban this guy before he does it again.
 * --Master Gunnery Sergeant Hank J Wimbleton IVCOM 01:44, 3 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Agreed, although the vandalism was relatively easy to clean up, this site should have a strict no tolerance policy when it comes to vandalising a person's personal page. He should be banned and not given a chance to mess up someone else's page or any page for that matter. Peace. --James-001 21:10, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
 * User has been banned. -ED 20:42, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

User:204.229.240.120
Ya, I was afraid this would happen. Recently, in English, we are in the computer lab more often. Now, my entire school (to my knowledge) runs off the IP 204.229.240.120. So instead of working on the project in English, I usually run through my forums and Halopedia. Haven't really done much else other than read my Talk Page, but I noted today that the IP vandalized User:Yamanba. I'm pretty sure I know who did it (he's been banned from editing at Wikipedia, Wikiquote...and I think he went to some other Wiki sites...I don't really pay much attention to him), and I was hoping he wouldn't come to Halopedia, but he has. My suggestion, based on what I remember of his talk about vandalizing Wikiquote (which he apparently does a lot), it would be best to just ban the IP now and get it done with.
 * --Master Gunnery Sergeant Hank J Wimbleton IVCOM 22:29, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
 * That IP has also been dealt with. -ED 20:42, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm (Rotaretilbo) in a different computer lab at school right now, so let's see if this IP is different (apparently I can edit from here, so different computer labs might be different IPs...)
 * --204.229.240.120 17:59, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Group?
Does anyone here support moving this "Anti Vandal Coalition" to full status as one of the Official groups of Halopedia? -ED 20:44, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

I do.-- Lieutenant   Colonel   ryan  n  green  day 21:09, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm for that -  The God Of War  (Speak with Me)   (My Work) 
 * The group has been moved to a stand-alone organization. I assume Caboose in in charge, I'll message her about any details. -ED 21:23, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm for that too!!! SPARTAN-118 17:57, March 18, 2007 (UTC)

Inforamtion Post
I have been asked by Caboose to post what info I have on the risk of an attack form someone I know. The message bellow was posted by me on Caboose's talk page and despite removing of a small section not relevant to the matter at hand, it is exactly like the one on her page:

"Yes I will watch. Hopefully I can scare him out of it but I need to watch for him but it will be very difficult to find him in the crowd of vandals that are here but I think I could find him. I know he hates the covenant, which makes its pages higher on the list. But although he is sneaky, he is cocky and allowed me to find one of his IPs used at the time. I will alert you of when he may strike again and will hit him once for the team (he won't mind, but at least it keeps me from getting enraged with him all the time. Besides, he started our hitting war. Back on the subject. Ok back on it. I will join Alpha squad due to the opening in it. Should I keep my membership secret (aka. Not telling him) or tell him in hopes to scare him away (though I doubt it would as he mocks people who warn him) but will put the userbox on my page (trust me, he won't find it). Although I would be best to tell if it's him, please note that I can't guarantee that I could identify it as him. He is most likely to use an IP address but creating an account is also possible. I will alert you as soon as he threatens. I will do everything in my power to prevent him from releasing what he has before on wikipedia. He isn't famous or anything, but often vandalizes. He is a risk that I refuse to let him reach success in his goals. Although required (And trust me, he will get one from me) he sees warnings as encouragements and (as witnessed by myself at our school) he continues vandalizing the site until that CPU is blocked from editing. If you need examples, look at the following page. Not all comments are relevant to him but many (most) are:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:72.1.206.94

If you need a comparison to how bad he could be, he will most likely be as bad as F.U.C.K. and will find way around bans, creating issues. This is the relevant data I have on his vandalism so far as he is secretive about it. As he is cocky, I will get more info out of him."

In addition: He has told me that he has a now suspended account here that was recently suspended. I belive from what I've heard from him that the name includes Master Chief in it. This is all I have on his threat.-16807 Penitent Spark [Communications] [File History] 20:38, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

He has recently struck the Halo fannon site and Wookiepedia. He is now calling himself P.E.N.I.S as a mimick of F.U.C.K, who he says he wishes to surpass. He is also threatening to strike again on the fannon and on Halopedia from another friend's house. I have began to exaust every trick that has come to mind. I recomend banning him imediatly once identified as warnings only encourage him and not baning permanatly would also be a mistake. He is not stupid either, the only time his edits are noticable are when he wants them to be easily found by reading the article. He is also a covenanat hater, as stated above, who, as stated above, will target their pages first.--16807 Penitent Spark [Communications] [File History] 02:45, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

How do I help?
I NEED an answer. (deep breath) HOW DO I MARK PAGES FOR DELEATION!!!??? I really need some help. Cheers, --SPARTAN-118 23:08, 27 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Put that at the top of a page. -ED 00:38, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Umm,
Hello. You might know me as Mouse, and I would just like to allow something for you guys. First of all, this is not a bribe to get into the AVC. Anyway, I looked on an Internet translator and found what might just be a motto. "Semper tutela", always protective in Latin. I just thought it would be nice. Respect them Grunts, --Mouse among men 04:33, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Rollback Privillages
As you are part of the Anti Vandal Coalition the councilors are being given rollback privileges to help in their fight against vandals. -- Esemono 05:37, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

New guys
As I was sending a friendly response to Relentless I noticed User:PENI.S had been there. He has already been banned but I felt it should be mentioned for future events. Also User: UncivilGoth666 may be going rogue. He stated to me that he was tired of Halopedia and wanted to see how fast he could get banned. Note he hasn't done anything THAT I AM AWARE OF. Just be on the lookout. --Spartan 1138 01:00, 30 March 2007 (UTC)


 * PENIS struck? Damn it! I will verify if it was the origional PENIS as I know him in RL.--Gerzam [[Image:Gerzam.jpg |20px]] [Communications] [Past Battles] 02:10, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

help
i think caboose is grounded, so this is basically directed at whoever is in charge right now. can you help me get into the AVC? i asked caboose, but she never put me in a squad. The  Lieutenant   General  02:30, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

User UncivilGoth666
I move for a perminant ban of this guy. I know him in real life, he was my best friend, but those days are no more. He will not stop. We must put an end to this immediately. To allow it to go on is practically endorsing it and short time bans will only encourage it. We must end this!--Spartan 1138 17:40, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

This user is has no morals and get pleasure from vandalizing other people's pages. I've said it before and I'll say it again, this site should have a strict no tolerance policy when it comes to vandalising a person's personal page. He should be banned and not given a chance to mess up someone else's page or any page for that matter. Peace. <font color="#007700">Contact me ·  · James-001 ·  ·  Find me  02:08, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

He has only been hitting user talk pages for the time being so we should start there. I also support User: James-001's zero tolerance idea. just keep an eye on his contributions.--Spartan 1138 02:17, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Petition the Admins The halopedia code of conduct does not allow for it. Now is the time to back up our words with actions. I am forming a squad to combat this. If you are interested get me on my talk page. If you are an admin reading this DO SOMETHING. Don't turn the other way. Face this threat with your full powers. End this!--Spartan 1138 05:22, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

I got some ammo to throw at this guy. I found this on my user talk page this morning ,''well, looks like we have something in common, u hate vandals and i hate faggots... wow dude if u live in ohio i cant wait till i meet you in person so i can lay you the fuck out... if u guys think saying i hate you and your getting banned it wont stop me, so stop trying and get a life...'' Wow, I thought we were trying to get THEM to get a life? Well, if WE got a life, well...Halopedia would not exist. Cheers, SPARTAN-118

I agree. He should be permanatly banned.--Gerzam [Communications] [Past Battles] 15:18, 1 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Spartan-118 I noticed that as well. He finally got a 1 month.--Spartan 1138 16:52, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

He's out
I resently found out thet Dragonclaws gave him a 1 month ban. In this lull reforms must be made. A better way of getting these guys banned, tougher polocy something. It took about three days for something to happen. I made a forum post about this listing my idaes on how to make things better. We may have one month but vandols do not wait for us to make the first move. We must be prepared and the sad thing is is that we weren't. Uncivilgoth666 caught us with our pants down. I for one am determined never to let that happen again.--Spartan 1138 16:52, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Support
Anti Vandal Coalition members,the Forerunners of Halopedia Vandal Special Ops are at your disposal for this campaign.Semper Fi,

The point of AVC?
What exactly is the point of AVC? I mean, if user X belong to AVC Squad alpha and sees a vandal blanking articles, technically he can't revert it as his squad is supposed to only clean up vandalized userpages and user talk pages, right? Does he have to wait for user D of Delta squad to come on and revert those vandalized pages? Or if a vandal attacks user D's talk page while user A is online, can user D not revert it?

It's just ridiculous. Reverting vandalim has never been easier on Wikia than now, as every single user can use the undo button that shows up on the diff page. This troll-feeding page is useless. Instead, you should have more admins (and rollback users). --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 20:15, 14 April 2007 (UTC)


 * I have been asking for the squads to be removed previously as I agree with you there.--Gerzam [[Image:Gerzam.jpg |20px]] [Communications] [Past Battles] 11:40, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, um, here is a page about vandalism and how to fight it.
This should be the main guidline of the AVC. should be put on the main page of the AVC.
