== The dog2 (topic ban on politics and sensitive issues) == |
|||
Continuing the discussion from [[Talk:Israel#Sensitive Issues]] since there's enough support for this discussion. Pinging all users involved to continue this here: {{ping|Ground Zero|Ikan Kekek|Ibaman|Mx. Granger}}. --<span style="font-family:BlinkMacSystemFont; font-size: 14px">[[User:SHB2000|<span style="color:#0b6487">SHB2000</span>]] <small>([[User talk:SHB2000|t]] | [[Special:Contributions/SHB2000|c]] | [[m:User:SHB2000|m]])</small></span> 23:54, 5 July 2024 (UTC) |

* '''Support'''. The dog2 has been wasting the community's time for years with political debates on talk pages and often inaccurate or unnecessary political claims in articles. When The dog2 works on accurate travel advice instead of political controversies, {{GENDER:The dog2|his|her|their}} contributions are typically good, so my hope is that this ban will allow {{GENDER:The dog2|him|her|them}} to focus on those contributions and avoid wasting the community's time and misinforming readers with the political stuff. —[[User:Mx. Granger|Granger]] ([[User talk:Mx. Granger|talk]] '''·''' [[Special:Contributions/Mx. Granger|contribs]]) 00:24, 6 July 2024 (UTC) |

*'''Support''' per discussion linked above, and a long list of instances of disregarding [[WV:Tone#Be concise]] and engaging in unnecessary encyclopaedism, too well-known to bother mention. [[User:Ibaman|Ibaman]] ([[User talk:Ibaman|talk]]) 00:31, 6 July 2024 (UTC) |

* '''Support'''. This has been going on too long. It shows a deep lack of respect for the commhnity, and is disruptive to our purpose of building a travel guide. [[User:Ground Zero|Ground Zero]] ([[User talk:Ground Zero|talk]]) 00:53, 6 July 2024 (UTC) |

*:Since I didn't weigh in fully, I'll do so now. The dog2, I echo what Mx Granger said about your contributions elsewhere – however, when multiple users have asked you to step back on politics and sensitive issues, you need to do instead of doing the same thing over and over again. It's gone for several years now; how long is too long? |
|||
*:During the duration of your topic ban, I suggest you take a through step back and learn to check what you're adding into mainspace. Take this time to learn why the community feels the way about your contributions to politics and respect sections; by the time your topic ban is over, you should have learned by then what to and what not to do. |
|||
*:For everyone else – how long should the topic ban be? I would opt for 3 months given the length of their disruptive behaviour, which is enough time to self-reflect on their behaviour, but it can always be extended if the conditions of the ban are broken or if the disruption continues after the ban ended. --<span style="font-family:BlinkMacSystemFont; font-size: 14px">[[User:SHB2000|<span style="color:#0b6487">SHB2000</span>]] <small>([[User talk:SHB2000|t]] | [[Special:Contributions/SHB2000|c]] | [[m:User:SHB2000|m]])</small></span> 01:56, 6 July 2024 (UTC) |

Although some of the additions by The dog2 are warranted, he clearly cannot judge when he should be sceptical toward his sources, how much his observations can be generalised, what conclusions can be drawn and when the warnings just aren't necessary.

: See also [[Talk:Philippines#Questionable_addition]]. I'm not sure a ban is warranted; discussion & warnings should be enough. On the other hand, I have not followed things closely & will not raise an objection to the apparent consensus to ban. [[User:Pashley|Pashley]] ([[User talk:Pashley|talk]]) 14:21, 6 July 2024 (UTC) |

::I agree with you that "discussion & warnings ''should'' be enough", but they haven't been. You can see on [[User talk:The dog2]] how various editors have been cautioning them about adding false information and controversial opinions back to at least 2017, and have repeatedly asked them to desist from editing Respect and Politics section. The dog2 ignores the warnings and discussion. [[User:Ground Zero|Ground Zero]] ([[User talk:Ground Zero|talk]]) 14:58, 6 July 2024 (UTC) |

:::One other thing: how long should the ban nomination go for?

::::[[Wikivoyage:How_to_handle_unwanted_edits]] says: "If the proposed suspension of the user's editing privileges is supported by two administrators, and there is a broad consensus for the suspension, after 3 days the suspension will go into effect." This seems to me to be very fast. As The dog2 is an administrator, I would err on the side of a longer discussion period, like the 7 days you suggest, unless they make any edits to Respect or Politics while this discussion is underway. In that case, I would implement it immediately. [[User:Ground Zero|Ground Zero]] ([[User talk:Ground Zero|talk]]) 11:27, 7 July 2024 (UTC) |

Latest revision as of 08:25, 3 September 2024
User bans are put into practical effect by using a Mediawiki software feature to block edits to any page (except pages in that banned user's user talk page) by the banned user.
Add nominations for user blocks to the list below, but please do so only after reviewing Wikivoyage:How to handle unwanted edits. After a nomination has been made, the nominator is responsible for ensuring that appropriate notice is given on the allegedly delinquent user's talk page of the nomination made here.
In general the preferred way of handling problem users is through the use of soft security. In the case of automated spam attacks the spam blacklist can also be a valuable tool for stopping unwanted edits.
For an archive of older nominations, see Wikivoyage:User ban nominations/Archive. Nominations are automatically closed and archived after 14 days of inactivity.
