Wikibooks talk:Blatant Vandal Blocking Policy

I think we need to be specific about what blatant vandalism is. We should alter the text to include those who "use racist, homophobic, sexist language" and "those who blank pages or move important Wikibooks pages without reason". —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Xania (talk • contribs) 21:01, 5 May 2007 (UTC)


 * To add to this (tho I agree with within focus ). Vandal accounts (page move, profanity, racism, attack etc) should be indef blocked - no question (tho some do not).  However an IP without a fair bit of research really should not be - static, dynamic, open proxy etc etc - not an easy call (obviously repeat vandalism from an IP is another matter) -- Herby  talk thyme 09:21, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

 * - sorry but you have no idea if they are shared IPs without some work -- Herby talk thyme 20:19, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
 * - I'm not interested in partial policies, and a more refined approach to this needs to be taken. This should be addressed at the full blocking policy. -within focus 01:57, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
 * - I agree this needs a much tighter definition of what we mean by blatant vandalism. Someone might be tempted on their first test to enter a obscenity as childish graffiti.  An indefinite block in this case seems extreme. --AdRiley 11:23, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
