Hey everyone.

Pretty simple issue I'm coming to the Board with today, as I feel the Vandalism in Progress page should be deleted from the Wiki. I always found it to be a pointless page, as it is much simpler to directly contact an active Sysop than it is to post on that page and hope a Sysop notices.

There are a couple reasons I say this. Number one, in order to use that page, you first have to load it, insert all the information, and then publish the edit. This takes a significant amount of time during which the vandal could cause even more havoc in the case that there are no Sysops patrolling the Wiki Activity. And if there is a Sysop patrolling the Wiki Activity, then the vandal won't be a problem as the Sysop will take care of it.

Furthermore, Sysops do not receive any form of notification when the Vandalism in Progress page is edited, whereas we are notified if someone leaves a message on our message walls. It is much simpler for us to be able to go onto the Wiki and look at what messages are on our walls than checking if the Vandalism in Progress page was edited.

Use this thread to discuss why or why not you believe the page should be deleted.
