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)

User Naleksuh stated that he had tried to move a page in his userspace but got the message, "Action throttled." Both he and the page have age of at least three weeks.

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
