User blog:WoeisWingbat/Confirmation Conversation

Hi! Its been a long time since I've had to talk with the community on a very serious issue. In this case, we have to discuss ban evading, and how we will attempt to prevent this moving forward. But we need YOUR approval to move forward with this.

The act of ban evading is making multiple accounts when an admin has banned you.

I want to make it clear that on The Dubbing Database Wiki, and on many other wikis, this behavior is NEVER ALLOWED. Our bans are always issued fairly and differing depending on the user. Many times bans are issued out because the user is being a malicious vandal and we do not accept those that will not help fairly contribute to the wiki and will cause us trouble moving forward.

So what now? Every wiki has these and some of them have precedures to help get rid of them for a good amount of time.

In this case, we were offered a chance to verify all users moving forward with emailconfirmed access, meaning that in order to edit on the wiki, you need to have an email and verify yourself before you get to edit here.

By the start of next day, we are expecting YOUR answers as to whether or not you'd like us to do this moving forward! If not many people agree, we have another precedure we can go with, but in order to do this one (which would be more practical), we need your approval.

Thank you in advance, and have a lovely Saturday everyone (which most people would typically spend relaxing and tending to themselves instead of ruining hard work and research, but what would I know)!
