Revision as of 21:58, December 3, 2020
, 21:58, December 3, 2020→Please don't feed trolls.
Trolls and vandals only cause damage to wikis because they want a reaction. If you give them that reaction, that is positive feedback that causes them to create more sockpuppets. Jim Graye in particular is a long-term vandal. They do it because they hate the website and have no life. The best strategy is to revert their vandalism, have a sysop block them, and ignore them after. Don't post anything on their talk page or user page, just revert, block, ignore. This stops vandals from having fun while damaging the site. The majority of vandals are socks of him or the juvenile delinquent, who makes accounts with names attacking users. Thanks.

:Okay, I didn't know that was feeding trolls, thanks for reminding me! I reverted their vandalism, when I saw them vandalizing, then put a speedy deletion request on their pages. Also, at first, when I saw Jim Graye create his account, I didn't know that he was a troll, and I just told him what will he do for Conservapedia, in a desire to get more users to help Conservapedia. Thanks! --[[User:United States|United States]] ([[User talk:United States|talk]]) 16:44, 3 December 2020 (EST)

::Asking that on people's talk page is not necessarily a bad thing, but wait for 30 minutes and make sure they aren't an obvious vandal before asking that. You're good at reverting vandalism, keep doing that. Telling someone to stop disruptively editing only works if they are editing in good faith, which the long-term vandals are not.
