Grand Theft Wiki:Vandalism
 |
This page documents official Policy on Grand Theft Wiki. It concerns standards that all users should follow. When editing this page, please ensure that your revision reflects consensus. When in doubt, discuss first on the talk page. |
Vandalism is the act of editing pages on Grand Theft Wiki with the intent to cause harm or distress. This includes adding offensive material and removing useful material.
"Offensive material" includes swearing, offensive comments, racism, homophobia, and pornography. It also includes any media, whether text, image, video or audio that our Administrators deem to be offensive.
If you spot a page that has been vandalised, please mark it with {{vandal}} in accordance with our Deletion policy. Please read the Policy article for more information. The decision of Administrators determines what happens to vandalised pages. In any dispute, the decision of a Manager is final. Articles that have been marked with {{vandal}} are placed in Category:Vandal.
The NSfV policy (No Shrines for Vandals) states that vandals and spammers should not have monuments to their "success". This means that there should not be big warnings exclaiming about attacks, nor public outcries about how the Staff may not be coping. The main purpose of vandals is to cause disruption, so if the disruption they cause is dealt with quickly and quietly, that will discourage them from continuing.
