Question about defacing?
Hello, How are you? (: I'm sorry to bother you, but I'm running into a little problem with two forum trolls who seem to have a "thing" for stalking me online. Several times so far they defaced my user page (although the effects weren't up for very long -- Great job moderators! and there seems to be no end to it.

I find it funny that they spent OVER an hour writing stupid 6th grade crap like "OMG, U GAY FURRY!!1" (although I'm not gay -- lol), yet the moderators can revert my page with two clicks. While it's fun to point and laugh at these people who pollute our gene pool, I fear that it's going to become a hassle for the moderators after a while.

Is there anything I can do to "lock" the page so that only I can edit it? I'm guessing not, since that somewhat defeats the purpose of a Wiki.

The problem is that these users have eather floating IPs or use a program to make random IP address, so banning their IPs is almost pointless.

Thank you for your time. (:

Taren


 * Hi there - I'm good, thanks!


 * As you might expect, our administrators (and regular users) are used to trolls - they typically get bored and move on or forget about it after a few days once they realise nothing they do will have a lasting impact. All the IPs have now been warned on their talk pages; judging by a few previous edits, they are not all proxy IPs.


 * It is possible (through an evil hack) to make it so that pages are only editable by one user and by administrators - see Personal information for more info, and Crassus for an example. We prefer to avoid that where possible, for the reason you described, but it is an option. Let me know if you feel that it is one you wish to take. -- 05:30, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism from 68.35.31.154
Looks like there's repeated vandalism on your article from 68.35.31.154, which resumed when the previous block expired. Someone sure has an interest in you. That IP resolves to pcp03997104pcs.sntafe01.nm.comcast.net. Looks like it's a Comcast Custom in/around New Mexico. --Dmuth 01:21, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
 * We generally don't ban IPs forever. But successive vandalizations from an IP get banned for longer and longer periods of time. :-)  --Dmuth 04:22, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Please exclude my profile.
Please delete and exclude my entery, Taren from the Wikifur. It has nothing to do with any past events. It's based totally on my personal reasons. Thank you very much!

 * Done. The previous revisions have been deleted (or at least deleted as much as is possible on a wiki - they're only available to administrators). Let me know if you decide you want it back at a later date, either publicly editable or with user editing restricted to your control. -- 05:55, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Krystal
Just curious about your reasons for removing of a couple of statements from Krystal. We typically frown on deleting material from articles without explanation, but if you have good cause for doing so, please let us know and we may reconsider. --mwalimu 19:21, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

The section I deleted didn't seem very encyclopedia worthy. If someone stated, "she is a popular character used in much erotic fan art", that would be more legit, in my book. If you feel the need, revert the page. It just didn't seem very official to me. --Taren 19:32, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Already reverted it, since I think her popularity in that regard justifies mention in the article. But I concur with your suggestion that a more straightforward statement would be an improvement over the current somewhat obtuse one.  I'll give you dibs on making the edit; if not, I may do it myself later. --mwalimu 20:44, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
