:::It's obvious by the edits though that this is just one of the many twerps who make hundreds of sock accounts to vandalize the same page repeatedly. It's their raison d'etre. I've dealt with vandals that are so determined to deface articles that they make new socks literally within SECONDS of their accounts getting blocked. I had to stay on the ball blocking and reverting the vandalism until Andy finally steps in by temporarily disabling account creation. I only have blocking capabilities, I don't have page locking capabilities. [[User:Shobson20|Shobson20]] ([[User talk:Shobson20|talk]]) 23:30, January 1, 2022 (EST)

::::That's why you need to consult with an Admin. In the past several months CP has undergone a policy shift on blocking and toward abusive editors. We also are trying to improve communication between sysops and asst sysops, encourage more discussion among editors, and move away from heavy handed blocking. We are trying to be fair to good faith editors who may have made a few mistakes, while expanding the user base. In the past, knee-jerk arbitrary blocking has not been useful to building the project.

:::::Vandals can vandalize a lot faster than admins can respond. It took a looong time for Andy to respond to that vandal I told you about who was making a sock every few seconds. Most of the senior admins don't respond as fast as the vandals can vandalize. I originally made this account so I could undo vandalism faster, but I would be stuck edit warring with the vandals until someone with blocking capabilities eventually responded and blocked the Vandal. The kind of people who just want to deface pages and mess with this site are pretty obvious, especially that one who wants to deface the J6 protest and Donald Trump articles to push the MSM narrative. And then there's that childish bully who keeps making socks to pick on Northwest. [[User:Shobson20|Shobson20]] ([[User talk:Shobson20|talk]]) 00:30, January 2, 2022 (EST)
