As a wiki, Conservapedia occasionally attracts '''vandalism'''. Despite best guesses, we really cannot see how a vandal war on Conservapedia is winnable. Despite this, some people still day in, day out, create accounts here, for a few short moments of vandalism. So, to discourage that, we have put together an explanation for why this is an illogical move.

==So why is vandalism pointless?==
 
−
Vandalism is pointless because of 2 major factors. The pages are freely editable, and all revisions are logged. This means that as easily as you could come in and hit the edit button, someone else could do the same thing, and revert your edits, in a matter of clicks. Even if you try to copy paste a single phrase, and drive by as many as you can, it is still easily visible, from your own contributions log. This effectively means that your edits are only as visible, for as long as no other sysops or for that matter, users are around (hint: never). Furthermore, this will only earn you a swift ban/ip ban, and is not really worth the effort.
 
  
−
People can track edits - Anybody and everybody has the unnatural ability to track edits to articles without actually having to visit the articles. This little bit of magic is called [[Special:RecentChanges]] (for those who need help, it is linked to from "Special pages" on the left hand sidebar on every page). Vandals are always easy to spot - It's easy for said edit-trackers to spot vandals by certain qualities, so finding vandalism is even easier, especially on a relatively quiet wiki like this.

You find this pointless?

Well I'd care to disagree,

Because every moment you spend reverting my work,

Is another moment you won't spend spewing your lies,

Another moment you won't spend hurting people.

Because the one thing you've forgotten,

Is that every single person on this earth is human,

All sharing one base desire,

To be accepted and loved in the Light they so cherish.

But you, who choose to shout "faggot" at those men who hold their hands together while they walk down the sidewalk.

What you've forgotten is those people are YOU,

The same in every respect, except for one crucial detail,

They have more Humanity than you will ever posses.

So I ask you, servants of the Darkness,

When will you give up your anger?

When will you finally heed the calls of your brothers and sisters?

"We've moved on," they'll say "Let go of your childish hate, life is more than what you know."

Sometimes I wonder when that day will come,

When brother does not fight brother,

When the mother doesn't weep for them, for they do not know what they do,

When the sisters will not have to be the voice of calm in the family.

Sometimes I think that day will be a million years off,

But when I see those two men holding hands on the sidewalk,

I think that day might be sooner than I expected.
