Administration
A vote

Myself (Kingcjc), BobaFett and Ajraddatz hereby propose a vote on whether or not the block the accounts Lego Lord and PID. The vote shall last a week and if successful, will result in a six month block for both accounts.

The community shall vote on the matter.

Lego lord is one of the LL brothers and, although he may mean good, his approach is unrelenting and is believed by many to be damaging the wiki, leading two administrators to quit the wiki for the time being and is seen as detrimental to the wiki and could cause serious fragmentation of the Brickipedian community.

PID is the main account of the elder brother and is a serial spammer and vandal. His accounts include Bubbubbub, Elder Fox, SkippyBob74, Vandal12 and Fingertoe, among others. Many of these have caused severe disruption to the wiki and have insulted various users over the past nine months. This is a serious vandal ring and just today, the account started insulting a user.

Both can comment here. The vote will close on the 28th April. After discussing with cjc, he agreed that we can close it earlier. And most of the community that isn't PID's many sock/meat puppets is banned, so that's that.

    I said it below as well, but forever is deserved. He's abused account creation to the extreme, creating some of our most annoying vandals and spammers even after warnings and blocks.

  5. For PID it should be forever. This guy has made the most obnoxious users ever. And yes....this is needed. It has nothing to do with violated policies: what destroys destroys, it shouldn't be rationalized by "he's just trying to help".

Do not block

  1. I think that blocking Lego lord will be more of a punishment than a prevention, which is contrary to the intended purpose of a block. FB100Ztalkcontribs 00:40, April 21, 2011 (UTC)
    I'm keeping this up for purposes you know very well...all nine of you. FB100Ztalkcontribs 00:40, April 21, 2011 (UTC)
    Oh, and even if LL is blocked, I will remain to his defense. Why? Name a policy that he violated in such a way that deserves a block of this length. FB100Ztalkcontribs 05:14, April 21, 2011 (UTC)
    It's not because he violated a policy. It's the net effect that he has had on the wiki.

  1. Also, the purpose is to prevent further disruptions and destruction of the community. So no, we do have a reason.

  1. We have absolutely no indication which one of you three did it... so we assume that the two who have a history of distruption are the ones further distrupting the function of the wiki with multiple accounts. ajr 18:06, April 21, 2011 (UTC)
  2. I see no reason why he should be. PID on the other hand...

Do not block


Agent Swipe[]

The following section is preserved as an archive. Please do not modify it. The result was Unblock user

Agent Swipe has been a good contributor here in the past, and there is talk of him being a third brother that had nothing to do with the other two.

Verdict: Unblock by near-unanimous request.

I still say, lets not block Swipe....After all, he's not the "Serial Vandal", it the PID guy.:P Skdhjf(Talk!) 05:01, April 21, 2011 (UTC)

I don't think he should even be blocked- I mean, it's not a crime having an account if your brother has one as well. Jag 06:30, April 21, 2011 (UTC)
Just wondering, you can check ip numbers ok, but how do you know which user is using which account? You dont, so it must be the ip number that is blocked not the user. As such all users using the same ip address should be banned. Im pretty sure one of wikia's terms and conditions do say shared accounts are not allowed. seems pretty straight forward, why the community has to be involved I'm not sure, just block the ip and be done with it. Gladiatoring 12:10, April 21, 2011 (UTC)
I think that the family's IP should be blocked from account creation for all the trouble they have caused but at the moment Swipe has done little.

While there is no way to know whether or not Swipe is a different user, he has a history of good edits. I wish that I could say that same for the other two. Consider the fact that both of them have made at least two accounts intended only for distruption (vandal and skippy), while swipe has (by their own admission) done nothing. ajr 13:36, April 21, 2011 (UTC)
We just have one problem. If we block Lego lord and PID, they could edit on Swipe. That would accomplish nothing.

BobaFett

Yes, Swipe is my brother, same with PID. And we will not use Swipe's account.

LEGO Lord Talk [[Special:Editcount/Lego lord|Special:Editcount/Lego lord Edits!]] ---- LEGO LOTR is coming! 15:47, April 21, 2011 (UTC)

If they do, and the edits are harmful, then block the account on the assumption that it was PID or LegoLord that made them. It's up to Swipe to keep his account secure. If the edits aren't harmful, I don't see why it would matter who made them. --Dunjohn 15:49, April 21, 2011 (UTC)
I trust what Lego_lord says, and @Dunjohn: It would be a way to avoid being blocked by using another account, aka sockpuppetry.

Editing own talk page[]

I noticed in the block log that Lego lord is not allowed to edit his own talk page, while all of PID's sockpuppets are. Is this because BF2 blocked LL? FB100Ztalkcontribs 23:58, April 25, 2011 (UTC)
