Warning messages change
When you warn a user, please don't start with a level 3 message, as you did with the IP user 170.158.87.2. In most cases, start with level 1, but at most a level 2. Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 19:21, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
- @Auntof6: I am really sorry for this, but the user has created a rather large number of "bad" pages and I thought a level 3 was appropriate. I have forgotten a few rules as I was a bit inactive recently. Sorry again! Reception123/Receptie123 (talk) 09:39, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
- Welcome back! When that happens, leave a level-1 or level-2 message (please use level 1 as much as possible). If they vandalize again, leave the next level message. Repeat until you've left a level-4 message and they vandalize again, then report at WP:VIP. If there haven't been enough warnings, they admins may not take any action. And, of course, with IPs, if enough time goes by between warnings, you have to back down to a lower level (because we can't be sure it's the same person). I look at it like this: the first message a user gets could be the first time they realize they shouldn't be doing something. It's nicer just to ask them not to keep doing it or tell them that what they're doing isn't OK than to immediately say "Stop or you'll be blocked!" --Auntof6 (talk) 10:54, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
