Conservapedia:Administrator's Guide

Below are some tips that will make your job as a Sysop much more effective:

1. 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 that the vandal or troublemaker is using which will make it impossible to use the same exact computer connection to edit Conservapedia.

2. To check if a new editor is a sockpuppet here is the IP checker which will check if the user is editing Conservapedia from the same computer connection:

IP checker: here

Here is how to user the IP checker above.

1. Put the username in the empty user box. This will give you a IP address which is a number and will be located below the empty user box.

2. Click the IP address (which is a number which just appeared).

3. Given the amount of vandalism at Conservapedia, if the IP address is being used by two usernames the person is likely a sockpuppet. It is suggested that you block the person and if a mistake was made and the person was merely using a public computer that another person used the mistake can be undone if necessary. However, given the amount of vandalism at Conservapedia it is better to err on the side of caution and block the suspected sockpuppet.
