#When blocking vandals or other troublemakers, uncheck the "block anonymous users only" box.  The block is more secure this way as it will block the IP Address (computer connection) that the vandal or troublemaker is using which will make it impossible to use the same exact Internet connection to edit Conservapedia.

#A area of Conservapedia has been created for Sysop discussion so Sysops can be informed of various new developments.  The area is located here: [[Conservapedia:Sysops]].

#Create a unique instant messenger user name on AIM, where most Sysops have accounts. With it you also get a free email account.  Your name there could be CP_Sysop_(your CP user name) as an example.  Experience has shown us the importance of this form of communication in heading off trouble, discussing users, vandals and their intentions and targets privately.  It also provides you with a CP-only email address, so you can safely enable emails through CP from editors with questions.  This completely protects your privacy.
