| Hi. I see you have been involved in matters concerning the block of the ip 24.175.183.44 and the talk page of the same person, Xsyner. I am having trouble with him as he repeatedly removes block warnings and notices from his talk page. I gave him several warnings and eventually reported him at ]. Nothing was done about this, and I am now beginning to wonder whether it is actually against policy to do what he has been doing. Several editor have told me it was against policy, and that's what I have been telling Xsyner, although he ignores my warnings. I'd appreciate it if you could help my answer these questions as soon as possible. Thanks. <font color="darkred">]</font><b>(</b><sup><font color="FF6600">]</font></sup><big><font color="blue">/</font></big><sub><font color="00FF00">]</font></sub><b>)</b> 03:22, 27 December 2007 (UTC) | |||
| :Nevermind, I found that it's not against policy to remove warnings. It would have been nice though if the admin who removed the block request on AIAV would have told me why it wasn't fulfilled. This has nothing to do with Xsyner, but how did you get the header for your talk page and can I use it/find/make one of my own? Thanks. <font color="darkred">]</font><b>(</b><sup><font color="FF6600">]</font></sup><big><font color="blue">/</font></big><sub><font color="00FF00">]</font></sub><b>)</b> 04:13, 27 December 2007 (UTC) | |||
| ::It used to be that removing warnings was against policy, then it entered a sort of grey area, and in current times it's explicitly ''not'' against policy but some people still labor under the impression it is -- so it's all a bit confusing, really. =\ If you still need help with this user, beyond that answer, let me know. As for the talk page header, you can see it at ]; I pieced it together, over time, based in part on a number of others I'd seen. You're free to use it if you like (might need to be tinkered with a bit). You can also use other variants like {{tl|talkpageheader}} or other such ones. There's quite a few options available for that sort of thing. – <span style="font-family: Garamond">] (])</span> 10:55, 27 December 2007 (UTC) | |||

Not to say I can't sympathize, but generally the only way to stop an edit war is by stopping people from editing, which involves either (a) page protection, or (b) blocking people.

| Hi. I've noticed that you've dealt with some of these impersonators/harassers and would like to ask your advice on how to deal with this situation. There are many, many socks out there and I've probably not seen them all. There are also endless anons reverting away. I've got a ] going to help keep track. This may not be a good idea per ]… | |||
| Also, please see the talk on ] started by ]; I've created a 'doppelganger' account as suggested but don't see quite what it's for. BoL will probably get back to me, but another opinion would be welcome. Cheers, ] 12:13, 9 January 2008 (UTC) | |||
| : Usually this is about the time I'd say we should go ask for ] aid, but one or more has already had a look, so we may need to tough it out. There's a few measures I'd rather not discuss on-wiki, but for now I plan on keeping a closer eye on DnD articles (they seem to keep hitting those) and anything else they regularly go after. Was planning to take a closer look, tomorrow, as to whether a particular category will do, or if I should create another "sockwatch" page (see other examples at ]). If they keep up long enough, a massive semi-protection effort may limit disruption... but this doesn't seem to be the sort of situation with any ideal solution. I'll happily revert and block any socks on sight, once they're brought to my attention. – <span style="font-family: Garamond">] (])</span> 12:21, 9 January 2008 (UTC) | |||
| :: Thanks. I was looking for a checkuser section about this and didn't find it; I'll look again. I've never worked through the process myself. This is mostly D&D related. I'd be willing to say more via email. There is also the likelihood that forums such as ] are involved. A lot of folks, admin and not, have been helpful, but this needs to move to a next step. --] 12:33, 9 January 2008 (UTC) | |||

| :::: Thanks. I just looked at your log and saw many that have been problems (for me; the others presumably were someone else's problem). I undid a bit of template removing (by anon) on ]. I expect to see all the D&D articles I worked at cleaning or tagging hit after I'm done for today. | |||
