:[[User:SamHB|SamHB]], thank you for your in-depth description. I was a little surprised to be given this so soon! No one has "briefed" be actually, but I had a basic idea as to what to do and what not to. I have been a "moderator" or as it is known on here, "SysOp," on one or two other sites so I'd like to think I'm not a "noob" at it. However, I pretty much always have used IP ban, since it is a lot stronger than a nick/e-mail/cookie ban, though of course not a fix-all. Honsetly, I've rarely seen a reason not to ban the IP. It can be a problem if that is a public computer, and also IPs are sometimes reassigned, which if why a time limited ban is what I have done in that past. I hope I will not be to harsh if I encounter a vandal again! Any ideas when an IP ban would be considered unnecessary? I'll try to do my best.
:Feel free to e-mail me if there is someone causing havoc who needs to be banned. Unfortunately, I may or may not be available at the time--I'll see what I can do about that problem. (Maybe I can forward e-mails from you to my phone??)<br />
:Thank you also, [[User:JDano|JDano]]; I look forward to the same! Let me know if you have any suggestions or you see me doing anything questionable (which I hope I never will)!
