This is the page explaining in detail the incident(s) leading up to a person being blocked. Every incident should have a section. Hopefully we won't have to add to this much.

Date and time of blocking: hh:mm, day month year
Time: duration of block
Report: give links to specific pages vandalised, plus summary of inappropriate content, also report any useful contributions
Follow up: any additional information gathered or action taken after initial filing

Time: 24 hours
Report: User edited Christianity repeatedly, including reference to RL Roman Catholic doctrine despite repeated warnings that this was in violation of the Arbitration agreement. After a long editing session on #nswiki, Knootoss, Syskeyia and Frisbeeteria ironed out appropriate NPOV language. Despite the agreed-upon language, user then went back and re-edited to his original language. Changes were reverted, user was banned, as per Arbitration Order.

- Since Syskeyia is either unwilling or unable to comply with the agreed-upon restrictions of NSwiki:Arbitration/Syskeyia, I intend to convene
permanent ban discussions at User talk:Syskeyia/ban sometime later today.an escalated scale of progessively longer blocks at NSwiki:Arbitration/Syskeyia#Motion_to_reopen.

Report: Spammed the NSwiki page with a bunch of drug links. I've got no use for linkspammers and there's no way that that was an accident.
Follow up: There's a blocking bug that's been noticed on Wikipedia, so please make sure that the user in question gets unblocked at the right time, manually if necessary. Unblocked manually. -- Wilem Engelking 14:39, 10 Jan 2005 (GMT)

81.196.233.77 (contribs)
Sysop: Frisbeeteria
Reason: Blatant drug site advertising spam on NSwiki:Protected page
Date and time of blocking: 23:07, 22 Jan 2005
Time: 1 month
Report: Spamming of drug sales links. As this class of spammer seems to head directly to system-related pages and they seem to have a clear understanding of wiki markup, it's clear that this is intentional spamming for some as-yet-undiscovered purpose. They clearly know that wiki community members will revert the pages, and they're not even picking popular pages, so the purpose remains unclear to me. Since it is so obviously intentional, no warning shots were fired. Blocked for one month on first offense.
Follow up: Both this user and the previous IP user (213.228.82.111 and posssibly Xaxa) are using RIPE networks and a dial-up pool, so blocking effectivness is minimal. NSwiki might want to consider an IP Range Block on RIPE networks if this continues to be an issue.
- It's a cross-wiki spam intended to improve the spammer's page rank in Google and other search engines. On some wikis, especially ones that are not too actively maintained, spam is likely not to be reverted, or at least last long enough to be indexed by search engine bots. We should probably consider rejecting edits containing external links to these spammers' domains, which would also help in other, similar case. Complaining to spammers' abuse contact might also be a good idea. -- Wilem Engelking 12:31, 23 Jan 2005 (GMT)
