Hey
[edit]Hello, thanks for helping out here for anti vandalism. The IP is likely to be a long term abuser and there's always people removing stuffs from Vermont page. I usually don't warn them but just rollback and speedy (if they remove I'll just rollback) until an admin block them. It's quite useless to warn them and on the occasional times I really did, they vandalize the warning instead. There's also templates to use, such as {{test1}} to 4 as well as {{spam}} for spam. Best Regards, --Cohaf (talk) 12:10, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
- Hey Cohaf, thanks for the advice and rolling back the edits to my talk. I've requested +patroller, it seems meta is a bit of a target for LTA abuse so I might as well do it in one click. Best, SITH (talk) 12:14, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks for helping. Appreciate it. Meta really need more help.--Cohaf (talk) 12:16, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
- Congratulations, your request for patroller is successful, hope to see you being more active here. Take it slow and if you need help do approach me.--Cohaf (talk) 07:56, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
- @Cohaf: thanks, will do :) SITH (talk) 23:33, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
