Hello,

I've opened this thread to discuss the actions of.

Firstly, this user has started a number of RfCs recently that they know are likely to fail and have been previously discussed varying from changes to the internal structure of Mirhaeze to CVT. Their latest RfC is a very long page with a number of proposals that even they themselves know are unlikely to pass and oppose.

I have also noticed that this user makes misleading comments as evidenced at their talk page where they claim to have not requested any wikis despite having done so and this discussion where they claim to have nominated me for sysop hypothetically and then deny this part way through which they refused to remove when I blanked it as I decided I did not want to be involved in this and are taking the mick about unaware WMF wiki users.


 * User:RhinosF1 - (Quirc) (chat (on meta) ) · CA 15:58, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

Proposal (A)
is topic-banned from creating RfCs or proposing new options in RfCs.

Discussion

 * I have no way to know user's intention in opening RfCs, such as that he knew they would be unsuccessful. His initiatives are too bureaucracy-heavy and formal for my tastes, but I would not bar him from taking initiatives because of this difference in style.  I would not ask Miraheze users to conduct an open vote to disapprove of one of us.   16:54 12-Jul-2019
 * I think that the community should be allowed to vote on whether a user is wasting their time with such proposals. We are not Wikipedia, but I find that their community ban policy is sensible. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 17:52, 12 July 2019 (UTC)


 * I wonder how long s/he should be banned, if this succeeds. Is it a permaban, or a ban for a certain limited amount of time?-- 17:54, 13 July 2019 (UTC)
 * In the way that the current proposal is formulated, it implies an indefinite ban which can only be lifted by another community vote on the matter. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 18:01, 13 July 2019 (UTC)
 * OK. Thanks for your reply.-- 18:25, 13 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Thinking about this and speaking with John, I have realized that as Proposal B, this proposal should also be made at Community noticeboard instead, as RfCs concern the global community and therefore decisions cannot be made on Meta. If this proposal were to pass, it would only affect RfCs that are for Meta only. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 13:12, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure - the decision will NOT affect RfCs created outside meta for sure, but all RfCs, including global ones, made on meta is technically activities on meta and thus meta can, at least, from a purely technical point of view, have a control on them.-- 13:52, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

 * 3) RfC is a good way for the community to have their say but if you look on meta this user has created many useless discussions that had no point.

Inappropriate wiki.
Hello,

It has been brought to my attention that a section of your wiki site (https://truecapitalist.miraheze.org/wiki/Giant_Incident) you've hosted has been used to defame, and spread lies about myself. It was referring to me as a "pedophile", which is a false, and unsubstantiated accusation. It also solicits mine and other people's personal information with the intent to harass them. The main wiki page in reference is overall been used to organize, and document targeted harassment by individuals.

This page contains a youtube video that contains my own personal phone number multiple times: https://truecapitalist.miraheze.org/wiki/Saturday_Night_Show_Episode_21

The main individual in question who has been making the offending edits about myself has a profile that can be found here: https://truecapitalist.miraheze.org/wiki/User:Cans_Abusing_Meme_Magician

I would like to ask for assistance in preventing my personal information to be released as well as removing content making serious false allegations. I feel that the main wiki where this is taking place is not doing anything productive or informative, and by nature is entirely nefarious.

Thank you,

https://truecapitalist.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page
 * I've deleted anywhere I could find that hinted at the person in question being a pedophile, as I'm pretty sure that constitutes libel. At least until the author of the post attempts to dispute it or anything. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 04:26, 30 July 2019 (UTC)

Sourav Halder
After adding to Meta templates Meta didn't need, this user has taken to welcoming newbies, including some without contributions whose names are typical for spambots. If you support this effort, he should get. If not, you should do something. 11:45 8-Mar-2020

Yesterday, RhinosF1 blocked Sourav for one month. A discussion continued at User talk:Sourav Halder. The block concerned ballot-stuffing at RfIA. What happened is one of the following:
 * 1) User created sockpuppets to vote himself additional authority multiple times
 * 2) User induced playground pals to come to Miraheze to all vote him additional authority
 * 3) User is just a popular guy and a bunch of people arrived with nothing better to do than vote for him.

Ballot-stuffing is misbehavior. We cannot have government, plus our presumption that we will all be anonymous to one another, without guarding against ballot stuffing. However, RhinosF1 told Sourav that he could appeal for a Checkuser; if Sourav was really banned for creating sockpuppets, I think the Checkuser should precede the ban. And Checkuser is not always conclusive, and does not preclude the unlikely third option I present above.

In my opinion, a better outcome is this:
 * Void the votes of the new users
 * Possibly ban the new users if Admins are certain they have no legitimate purpose for joining Miraheze except to win a vote
 * Possibly void the entire ballot
 * Monitor Sourav, as he has repeatedly shown the impulse to be, or put himself forward as, Miraheze government, rather than do actual creative work.

However, the whole affair strikes me as failing to Assume Good Faith, much like the PlavorSeol affair. 01:22 11-Mar-2020
 * For me, the behavourial evidence was pretty obvious. A CheckUser returned supoorting technical evidence when it was done. The votes of the puppets are struck and they have been blocked. Aa you point out, this is not the first issue woth Sourav. Taking their reaction to deny it and past behaviour, I believe a short block was appropaite. They are welcome back as Sourav after the block expires if they positively contribute. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  05:52, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
 * My opinion is that due to the lack of urgency in this case (since it wasn't direct vandalism), a block could've waited until a confirmation from a CheckUser, even though I agree that the behavioral evidence was clear in this case. Perhaps it is time to think about requirements for account age when it comes to voting (a few days before the vote perhaps) to fix this issue. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 06:18, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
 * I like that proposal. (Then again, I am a dinosaur who likes the real-world requirement to register to vote — rather than just show up — so that all parties can know exactly who the voters are.)  Surely votes on policy, and on treatment of misbehaving users, should "freeze the voter list" at the risk of "disenfranchising" newbies.  So votes from users whose registration timestamp is after the creation of the RfC are thrown out.  (If you really care about the issue, you can see it being drafted in someone's userspace before creation of the RfC, register then, and get around this rule, and that's fine.)


 * Young voters especially hope to be activists (and maybe President) the moment they join a new club (which was part of the problem with PlavorSeol and Sourav!). Those with experience look around and learn first.   09:39 11-Mar-2020

Page protection needed
User talk:209.239.100.126 needs to semi protected for the duration of the rangeblock affecting the IP address, as this particular IP in the range is posting gibberish and obscenities to their talk page. There does not appear to be enough talk page disruption across the range to merit a range-wide removal of talk page access (unless there are deleted talk page edits that I can't see). Amanda Catherine (talk) 23:49, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Revoked TP as IP Range is static, not dynamic - history of abuse on the range so sufficient to revoke TP to me if it continues on a talk page. Legitimate users can appeal via email. John (talk) 00:12, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

Proposed Community ban for Sourav Halder
<div class="boilerplate metadata discussion-archived" style="background-color: #F2F4FC; margin: 2em 0 0 0; padding: 0 10px 0 10px; border: 1px solid #aaa">
 * The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.
 * Consensus to block, additionally with the request to make it global the following applies:

John (talk) 19:24, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Sourav Halder, as a person, is banned from Meta for a period of 3 months,
 * His account and all existing accounts (whether disclosed or undisclosed) are to be globally locked,
 * Any appeals to the lock will be heard by the community (processed by Stewards) after the Meta ban expires.

I am writing this to propose a local ban (Meta only) on Sourav Halder. While the reason of my original 1 month block (disruptive editing) may have not been that appropriate, I would like to request that the local community bans him from Meta for a pariod of 3 months. This user may seem that they are just asking for help, but there have been multiple cases of them insisting on us resolving his requests (by email as well as talkpages) and they keep trying to rush us when we told them to be patient. He has also violated the Code of Conduct on IRC and in other areas (contacting people via PM when they told him not to do so). Here are examples of specific instances that prove that this user is wasting our time and not just looking for help:
 * After having violated the CoC by not being respectful and accusing RhinosF1 of lying when that was not the case as well as other non respectful comments to us, he was asked to leave which he did only this was his leave message: Sourav was ← sourav left : "fuckyou"
 * After requesting multiple custom domains, I took time to configure them (after already being pressured to do it "quickly") only to find out that the next day he was requesting that we delete those wikis. He continued to make numerous wiki requests and frivolous requests on Phabricator.

Outside of Meta/Miraheze he's also been blocked for not being able to respect policies or behave (while this is not a reason for a Meta ban, it puts things into context):
 * He's been blocked on TestWiki for not being able to respect local policies there and for saying he wouldn't do something only to do it after. (he still keeps insisting on getting unblocked after he has been told he wouldn't be many times, and after he has been given many chances)
 * He is globally locked on the WMF projects as a Long-term abuser.

Therefore I think it is clear that this user is just here to waste our time and to misbehave, so I propose the 3 month ban imposed by the Meta community. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 06:45, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

Support

 * 1)  as proposer. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 06:45, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
 * 2)  I have looked at the contributions and it looks like this user is quite conflictual and has already been blocked on Meta and on exterior wikis. The IRC message mentioned is unacceptable; saying that to the dedicated volunteers that work hard for us and this project. I feel that this user is just looking for trouble and to waste time as OP says and their block at the Wikimedia project also shows that they are not "looking for help". This user needs a break to learn how to be polite and respectful of the people and this community that are helping him for free. Three months is a good time to let them reflect.

 * 1)  I would go as far as to suggest an indefinite ban from Meta, and perhaps a 6 month or longer global community ban from Miraheze. I don't usually suggest such strong sanctions, but this editor has definitely exhausted their rope and the good faith of many others, including myself (coming from someone who usually pushes AGF more than the average). Amanda Catherine (talk) 13:05, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
 * 2)  I was one of the people who asked for this ban proposal. While I normally like to AGF when dealing with users, Sourav Halder appears to be here only to waste our time and has used up all the good faith I have in me.

 * 6)  Please globally block indefinitely. This user has triggered the abuse filter on sdiywiki for posting off topic spam. --Rob Kam (talk) 17:09, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Another thing I noticed is Shaunak Chakraborty interwiki Administrato He has multiple accounts but I think he is never blocked. --  Sourav  Talk... 08:49, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
 * To respond to your claims. First of all, I have already explained how your "asking for help" is being done in a way that does not respect the Code of Conduct and that is not respectful to us. Second of all, the claim that you are not blocked on the WMF is false as you were globally locked there for Long-term abuse. Here on Meta RhinosF1 blocked you for sockpuppetry because you voted for yourself with other accounts on an RfX which is contrary to policy. The user you mention Shaunak Chakraborty is not blocked because they do not use their accounts to vote for themselves or to vandalise, I would invite you to read the User accounts policy if that needs clarification. Furthermore, this comment where you are trying to mislead about your global lock on the WMF is again proof that you are not being straight with us. Lastly, actions speak more than words and while you say that you are trying to help your actions show us otherwise. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 09:20, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

Bonnedav rollback request
Hello,

I wish to request the rollback right on meta so that I may better assist in combating spam and vandalism to keep meta a clean place for the miraheze community to come together. I understand that is right is only for meta and does not affect any other wikis. I agree to only rollback edits that clearly violate policy and leave anything else up to the admins, bureaucrats, and stewards.

Thank you for considering.

This is strange, the user page for User:Ucronistaw is displaying on the Special:BrokenRedirects special page as a redirect to a non-existent target, and clicking on the non-existent target confirms the target page was deleted. However, clicking on the subject user page displays a blue wikilink redirect to the target user page, which is displayed. Is this an error in Special:BrokenRedirects, or is this a problem with the page cache at User:Ucronistaw needing to be purged? If the latter, I have noticed there's no "purge" link for me.
