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.

"United States" page
"United States of America" is the proper name of the country. While "United States" is the common name of the USA, this name could apply to any united group of states, anywhere in the world. Therefore, I don't think it is appropriate to move the page to this less accurate title. If we are going to make the move, though, we need to preserve the edit history of the original page, "United States of America". Whether or not to move it can be discussed here. --DavidB4 (TALK) 16:37, 2 December 2020 (EST)

"RationalWiki" page
There is a plan for such a page, but at this time we're not posting it due to the nature of the subject. If you are still thinking of writing it, work on it off-site, and submit the final to ASchlafly via email. Karajou (talk) 14:12, 3 December 2020 (EST)

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.
