First, this particular community is constantly under attack from several dedicated "anti-Pooh Adventure" communities. At leaat one of which I also administrate.

Many of these "anti-Poohs" plan attacks and consistently vandalize. After over 5 years of playing Gandalf for this wikia, I can easily spot vandalizers, trolls, and like-minded newbs.

Second, I use the dev tool WHAM which has 2 weeks as its default block period. when dealing with as many wikias as I do, plus the number of trolls on this one wikia, I tend to default through things. 3 clicks and I'm done.

Note that I don't WHAM community members. If I have to, they often get short-period blocks as "time out corners" because sometimes only a 2x4 "foam bat" seems to work. I am already aware of most of this-the three day time out blocks, vandals, etc.

I guess I'll have to trust your judgement, even though a couple of these types of users look more like people unaware of the rules to me.

Thanks for answering.
