parties in the dispute
- User:Bully-Buster-007 for a think tank in Brussels (Belgium)
- User:Requestion, User:BozMo, User:Femco, User:A. B. for a group of self-declared spamfighters
As to the facts:
" Work and Wealth for All " ( WWFA – h-ttp://workforall.net) is a leading an well respected think-tank in Brussels (Belgium) involving economists, engeneers, econometrists, entrepreneurs and philosophers. They are engaged in a number of socio-economic studies in close collaboration with " Free Institute for Economic Research (FIFER) " and the "Free Association of Civilisation Studies (FACS). Their research into the causes of European growth differentials have resulted in scientific publications as well as a great number of essays for a wider public covering subjects such as The Irish economic miracle, The Scandinavian Social Model, Tax burden, Tax structure, Big Government, Inflation, VAT, the Sustainabibity of the European Welfare State, monetary questions etc. Their web-site also provides easy access to worldwide data sources and to masterpieces of economic literature and is purely informative. All their services are free, and free of commercial advertising. For reference see their latest publication "The path to sustainable growth - Lessons from 20 years of growth differentials in Europe.
Their publications and essays were published or reported by well established publishers such as the Brussels Journal, or TCS Dayly. Many were translated and commented worldwide. It is believed that their work inspired a number of political parties all over Europe as well as the Belgian government to have a budget freeze or a shift of the tax burden from income on consumption implemented in their programs. No obvious traces of spamming by WWFA were found on the internet. The WWFA staff operate from a number of different IP's in Belgium and during the course of the debate created a WP account under the name User:Bully-Buster-007.
WWFA staff have been contributing to Misplaced Pages ever since 2005, providing both (parts of) articles as well as links to essays and books under a range of socio-economic titles covered by their research. End April 2007 User:Requestion who is member of a group of self declared spam fighters started blanking the WWFA contributions on Misplaced Pages as well as the links relating to the workforall publications and essays without gaining consent for the blankings.
In the debate that followed, the WWFA staff claimed the actions of the Spam Squad were illegitimate because:
- 1. the Spam Squad had no authority to for massive blankings and fail to provide adequate justification for their spam project
- 2. the Spam Squad's editing procedures were incompatible with WP:etiquette and WP:concensus
- 3 the Spam Squad's authoritarian methods were incompatible with the rules of WP concensus and their arrogant intimidation was incompatible with WP:etiquette
- 4. the Spam Squad's blankings of well established WP content without without gaining consent constituted qualified vandalism according to WP etiquette
- 5: the Spam Squad's blankings of content on talk pages without consent of opponents disturbed the debate and constituted qualified vandalism according to WP etiquette
- 6. The spam squad was involved in criminal behaviour such as spreading viruses over Misplaced Pages
As to the fundamentals of the case
The dispute about the qualification Spam
Early may The WWFA staff complained about the spam squad's vandalism to their contributions, and filed a request to Requestion to stop his indiscriminate blankings and to stop calling their contributions spam as these false accusations harmed their worldwide reputation. Early in the debate that followed the WWFA staff agreed that the contributions by different staff members had not been coordinated, and that in a number of cases the external links could be disputed. They excused, and proposed on 6 occasions to reach consensus as to the question where the contributions were relevant and where they were not. All over the debate User: Requestion refused the fundamental debate over the quality and relevance of the WWFA contributions and dismissed the WWFA suggestions to reach a reasonable agreement. Having run out of arguments User:Requesion refused to continue the debate so that the quality of the WWFA contributions remained undisputed. User:Requestion never provided any other justification for giving the WWFA contributions the qualification "Spam" other than the mere number of their contributions. Requestion's refusal to continue the debate constitutes a qualified refusal to reach consensus, and is incompatible WP etiquette.
The dispute about the authoritarian methods of the spam squad
In the course of the debate the WWFA staff progressively realised the devastation the spam fighters inflicted with their indiscriminate blankings
- to quality and comprehensiveness of Misplaced Pages
- to the pluralism of wikipedia
- to the reputation of a wide range of bona fide contributors
- to the number and diversity of contributors by chasing away contributers with little time to dispute and by scaring away newcomers.
WWFA staff also realised the spam fighters' arrogance caused widespread grief and that their autoritarian methods obviously were uncompatible with WP etiquette. WWFA staff strongly condemned the spam squad's intimidation which included automated warnings, irrelevant warnings, threats, boycots, qualified intimidation, blocking, attacks on the privacy of other users by disclosure of contributors identity with the sole purpose of intimidating opponents, and last but not least silencing opponents through illecit blocking and their self confessed strategy of wearing out opponents with irelevant arguments.
Having concluded the both methods and justification of the spam fighters were incompatibble with the 5 pilars of WP and with WP policy to reach consencus in a debate, a WWFA staff member created a special purpose account under the name Bully-Buster-007, with the declared intention of fighting intimidation on Misplaced Pages. Bully-Buster-007 then issued several extensively motivated harrasment warnings to User:Requestion, User:BozMo and User:A. B. The justification for the harassment warnings was never disputed by the spam squad, but symply disregarded, referred to as phony warnings and erased without consent. The erasal by the spam squad of these appropriate warnings constitutes a qualified case of vandalism as to WP:Etiquette. (see evidence below under title evidence )
The dispute about the appropriateness of external links
WWFA staff also disputed the authority of the spam squad and the justification for their spam project. WWFA argued that external links were perfectly legitimate in numerous cases the spam squad had esased also from other contributors. They argued that according to a universal juridic principle of supremacy of conflicting rules the spam squad should not be interpreting a general WP:EL rule "You should AVOID linking to a website that you own" as an absolute prohibition when a much more concrete WP:EL instruction "What to link:" cannot be more explicit, precise and affirmative as to inviting users to link the source in case the source is relevant and reliable, but cannot be summerised in an article. Having understood the common sense of this universal principle, the Spam squad did no longer dispute these arguments. see evidence here
The dispute about the reversal of editing procedures by the spam squad
WWFA staff also disputed the editing procedures of the spam squad. WWFA agreed that the spam squad was fully entitled to require consensus for totally new, unverified and untested additions, but they argued that this consensus requirement obviously was a reversal of WP procedures in the case of restoration of vandalism to well established information about which consencus allready had existed. They argued that such information was already read, verified, scrutinized, often ammended and corrected and finally approved by thousands of other WP users, and that the Spam Squad should not have erased such information without first gaining consensus in the first place. Having understood the common sense behind this basic principle of WP editing procedures the Spam squad did no longer dispute these arguments, but failed to undo their wrongful vandalism.
The spam squad's vandalism on talk pages and cover-up operations
As the dispute devellopped, the spam squad progressively started to erase legitimate Bully-Buster's warnings as well as legitimate comments on talk pages in an coordinated attempt to cover-up their earlier wrongful blankings. Such illicit blanking on talk pages without consent of the opponent constitutes a qualified case of vandalism according to WP procedures.
The virus in the sandbox (update)
On mai 11th 2007 a junior WWFA employee was reading a discussion about the present case on "meta" between user:Requestion and another unidentified individual. This discussion ended with the unidentified individual suggestion "want some help? ; ) ". Being overwhelmed by curiosity the junior employee followed the link to the unidentified individual's special purpose account in the in the WP Sandbox which provided an external link to an institution of which she later only remembered the name contained "technologies". This link lead her to an obscene image which she described as a parrot sitting on a p. After a few tones of Beethoven's 5th symphony, the victims screen went black, her Pentium2 processor overheated and started a fire which thanks to the sprinkler installation was confined to her and the neighbouring office. After the victim was released from hospital for her shock and first degree burnings, the incident was reported to the local Belgian Computer Crime Unit (CCU). The investigation is still in progress but faces seriuos obstruction as the most obvious traces on Misplaced Pages to the source of the virus seem to have been erased. On 21.05.2007 virus specialists identified one of the virusses sent though the Misplaced Pages sandbox as a brand-new Trojan horse PSW.generic4.JOW. But at least one other completely new type of virus was also detected, which code is still being analysed.
- -
The archives of the mai 11 th Misplaced Pages Sandbox if these are kept contain the link to the source of the generation generic4 Trojan horses and the trace to the source a completely new generation of most dangerous viruses capable of overheating CPU’s. In case Misplaced Pages does NOT keep archives of the sandbox it obviously is an unacceptable failure of their safety concept, exposing Misplaced Pages users to unacceptable risks, and therefor involving their responsability. However in the present case at least User:Requestion must know the identity of the unidentified individual he was talking to. Updated by Marina 22.05.2007
As to the further devellopment of the dispute .
The spam fighters seing their illegitimate operations challenged by the bullying campeign of user:Bully-Buster-007, progressively engaged in wrongful behavior. (see evidence below) . On mai 7 th 2007 invited User:BozMo ( who is involved in the spam project himself ), to give a user:Bully-Buster-007 a one week block and workforall contributions got blacklisted. A colleague of the silenced user:Bully-Buster-007 invited user:BozMo to undo the blocking as it was argued to be illegitimate because user:BozMo did not provide adequate justification for the blocking and because user:BozMo being a spam fighter himself was not entitled to the blocking as according to WP conflict procedures User:BozMo could not be judge and party in the same dispute. After this comment, the Bully-Buster-007's colleague got blocked as well, and User:Bully-buster-007 's one week blocking was made indefinate.
The multiple suggestions to reach concensus being dismissed by the spam squad, and the spam squad progressively using unapproprioate methods, the bully busters have decided to apply for mediation and/or arbitration, apply for protection of their contributions, request reversal of the blacklisting, protection of user:Bully-Buster-007, and banning of the irresponsable spam squad membes. If Misplaced Pages is what it says it is, this application must be heared. Users are requested to support this request and comment on talk page of User:Requestion. Till our request for arbitration is heard, we shall in the meantime issue and spread a statement in an attempt to stop the ongoing damage to our client’s reputation.

This is a first degree formal warning on a scale of 3 levels.
Your self confessed strategy of "wearing out opponents" on Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Spam#Requestion (Requestion 19:13, 7 May 2007 (UTC)) is incompatible with WP conflict management and constitutes a refusal to work toward agreement in a dispute. This is incompatible with Misplaced Pages:Etiquette and is considered as a qualified case of cyber-bullying.

This blanking seems to be part of large scale a cover-up operation and/or coordinated efforts of a gang to erase traces of earlier wrongful activities. Kindly be informed that participation in a gang performing unlawful activities may involve your unlimited solidary responsability (as opposed to proportionate liability).
Bully-Buster-007 protest against User:Requestion's methods
- this is a copy of the comments formulated on User_talk:Requestion#Please_stop_indiscriminate_mass_destruction
- Believe me, Rwl10267, this has nothing to do anymore with the quality of Misplaced Pages. What once began as a legitimate struggle against guenine spam ( irrelevant, unuseful, untasteful, uninformative links such as WP:EL defined it, and which we all despise has since long degenerated. First in linkspam fundamentalism banning any external link (however relevant it may be), then in censorship of content they dislike, and since a couple of months in a war for power between the bullies and bona fide contributors who soon give up their struggle for survival before the ruthless vandalism of the bullies.
- .
- Look at the long history of mass destructions here Special:Contributions/Requestion. See how it gradually escalated and degenerated, and how every case of vandalism give them more confidence to vandalise others. See how it escalated till they found they could challenge phd's from the worlds finest universities as they did here Hilbert-Hermitian_wavelet. In the end those guys believe they are god, as one victim put it.
- .
- When even links to a PhD of the Cambridge University like this http: // ffconsultancy.com/free/thesis.html. is considered as spam, I wonder what will be left to link. When Requestion will have finished his censorship vocation we end up with a wikipediette a in pocket format; Handy I agree, but not very informative.
- .
- The techniques these guys use: mass-destruction of constructive contributions, unappropriate warnings, intimidation, threats with banning, boycots and blacklisting constitute guenine terror and have all the characteristics of cyber-bullying such as wonderfully described here: (search Bullying.) Read what motivates the sick minds of bullies here (search: Bullying # Characteristics_of_bullies ) . Read how they attribute each other rewards for ferocity here User_talk:Requestion#Spamstar_of_Glory
- .
- Dont expect reasonabilty from them by being friendly. Dont expect reasonable arguments. Each time you ask these guys for detailed justification, they fail to produce concrete evidence. Dont believe their escalating warnings. Dont believe their threats with blocking and blacklisting. Ignore all their automatically generated messages. Dont believe their false accusations of improper behaviour on the slightest technical error you make. Dont lose time reading pages and pages of irrelevant instructions their vague automatically generated instructions direct you to.
- .
- External links are indeed a perfectly integrating part of WP. WP instructions cannot be clearer as under WP:EL instructions "What to link": you need to simply ask yourself the question: Why is the link not used as a source for the article? If the answer is "because it is not a reliable source," then don't link. If the answer is, "because the content of that external link is too long and would not be possible to summarise it in the article, but it is is a reliable source", then link, by all means.
- .
- The vandalism of these spam fundamentalists do WP quality much more bad than good. They deny readers access to relevant information, and chase away valuable contributors. (see above). By what authority should they decide for millions of wikipedia users what is relevant or not? Does mere bullying provide' them that authority? Their remedies being worse than the illness, it is time to stop their mad cures. It is time to stop those guys. If someone knows how please advise. I'll be glad to help.

EVIDENCE in the Bully-Buster-007 versus Requestion Case
The evidence below explains why User:Bully-Buster-007 and User:The Advocates for Free Speech were blocked. The reasons for blocking them and for blacklisting Workforall.net was not because their submissions were found spam, but because they dared to challenge a gang involved in a degenerated anti-spam operation.
The blind vandalism of this group causes widespread devastation to Misplaced Pages quality and objectivity. Their authoritarion methods scare away newcomers as well as many bona fide contributors they randomly choose to victimise. The spam fighters have no authority to their massive cleanup, their rules are disputed and arbitraraly applied while they are inversing the WP consensus principles when erasing well establixhed content without gaining consensus.
A Description of the methods of the spam squad
A typical "warm" welcome by the spam squad
- Here User:Hu12 welcomes a newcomer who dared to submit an external link: Erasal of the link and an automated warning: :dont link anymore.
- Here User:Hu12 gives a typical severe warning in case the link could be a commercial connection: One more time and you'll be blocked !
- For those who forgot to look at their talk page, or did not know that existed: Blocked and blacklisted.
Intimidation and un-apropriate warnings
- Here User:Hu12 promptly accuses newbe of being a Sock Puppet. Maybe he just worked from, or from a different location with a different IP
- here User Hu12 accuses a user of canvassing for contacting two other victims; which is fully approriate as to WP procedures
- Here User:Requestion intimidates a user who starts a new tread his talk page: You get 30 minutes to remove that!
Deception
For new Users who resisted this warm welcome, the qualified harrasment start: waring out protestors, spreading unmotived accusations and discussions over Misplaced Pages often in locations unexperienced users cannot find, qualified intimidations, accumulation of thechnical mistakes in their "penal registry" , an last but not least disclosure of user identity with no other purpose than intimidating and causing maximal damage to interest and reputation and privacy of other users.
- Here User:Requestion confesses his strategy: “The key with wrestling pigs is to make the pig do all the work! My strategy for the workforall.net spammer is it wear them out and indent them all the way to the right. I deal with a lot of spammers so I'm not too bothered by the comments. (incompatible with WP policy to reach concensus and to work towards agreement)
- The waring out strategy in practice: Vague reference to WP regulations – a couple of days work of reading instructions : - ((
- -
- Here User:Beetstra confesses he does not mind the disservice caused to readers, nor the grief caused to other users: Who cares? Blacklisted on COIBot.
- -
- -
Here User:A. B. Conspires how to deceive the system
Autoritarian methods - Systhematic refusal ro reach consensus
- Here Requestion symply refuses to answer a crucial questions asked in a debate: “I'm not answering your questions. Go away”
- “Don't even bother responding.”
Abuse of power and procedures to silence opponents
- Here User:Jossi confesses his abuse of power: Revert war? Protect the page, or block for 3RR. Angry spammers assault spam fighters? Send them my way (or any other admin), and we'll indefblock them. Not a drop of sweat. Bote that spammers will come back regardless if your replace their links with a DMOZ category. That will not stop them, would it? So rather than suppression, move the links to talk, and ask editors to evaluate the links for notability and quality. A good few links can go back. Easy.
- -
- Here User:BozMo confesses his intent to block any user that comes to Bully-Buster-007’s help: “ I'll block them too. Life is too short to keep going with explanation. We've done the Matilda's Aunt bit with this one.
Inflict maximal damage
The favorite tool of the spam squad to inflict maximal damage to victims is to spread unmotived accusations all over Misplaced Pages in places where search engines can easily find them so that a google search on the victims name associates him or his institution with spamning or wrongfull activities.
User:Requestion was explicetely warned here about the nature of the damage he was inflicting; still he knowingly refused to stop the ongoing proces of harming the reputation, which demonstrates his his bad faith and intentions to harm. The span squad thereby is abusing and compromising Misplaced Pages reputation as a reliable source for the major search engines for spreading false information and accusations all over the world wide web.
Systhematic Cover-up operations & Widespread vandalism on talk pages
The Spam squad systimatically vandalises talkpages, disrupt debates and hide intentions and arguments of opponents. A few striking examples we found in the Bully Buster Case:
- Here User:A. B. Vandalises the talk page of an incapacitated user after he was blocked, and replaces the content of the page with his own content
- Here User:Requestion erases extensively motivated warnings on his talk page
- Here User:Hu12 erases comment on the spam-project talk page
- Here User:Requestion erases comments on talkpage
- Here User:Requestion erases more comments on talkpage
- Here User:Requestion erases still more comments on talkpage
- Here User:The way, the truth, and the light (sockpuppet ?) blocks a user and erases content after the defenslessuser was blocked
- Here it is User:Femco who erases compormising comments on talk page
- Here User:BozMo erases motivated harrasment warning :here User:Femto erases comments on talk page
- Conspiracy talk here to cover up lets dig compromising talk deep in the archives
- here User:BozMo erases a comment referring to the spam Squad’s edit war on WP:EL where threy tried to change the rules for external links
== Taking pleasure in grief and damage == User:BozMo takes pleasure in the grief he cause: “there are a surprising number of these with rude words... I wonder if a bunch of kids are wetting themselves over how funny it is.”
Here User:Bozmo enjoys the damage they allready inflicterd to the reputation of their victim Work for all: “Our victim's reputation is shaping up to be bizarre on google” - He did inflict that to himself ded he not? That will learn him to protest.
The result the editing for Wikiperia Quality and Objectivity
- Let us have a look at the result of the spam squad’s vandalism on a few examples
Title The Scandinavian model
Before the cleanup the books and articles section under this title provided two external links to articles relevant to the subject. see here
- -
- 1. Beyond Ideology, The Social Welfare State A defense of the Scandinavian welfare model. Added 24 november 2006 ; 19 ammendments since submission no objections) an article (of a commercial newspaper) providing unverifiable claims, few facts and no sources watsowever.
- 2. The Scandinavian Model: Facts and Fairy Tales. A critique of the Scandinavian welfare model. Added 26 May 2006 ; 33 ammendments since submission without anyone objecting to the link which constitutes qualified concensus). This is a well doccumented non-commercial Workorall.net article, providing facts and figures, as well as the official sources where it all can be verified.
- -
Fair enough : two opposite visions on the same subject left to the Misplaced Pages user to decide what information he believes and which not. That was at least till User:Requestion passed by, and erases the one year old link to the critic essay (without gaining concensus; which is qualified vandalism according WP etiquette) and leaves only one single opinion: According tot today's Version of Misplaced Pages The "Big Government - High Tax Scandinavian social model is the perfect social system. A glorification of socialism. Or what an editors'genius can do to the objectivity of an article.
Title Egalitarianism
The question whether more equality is good or bad for economic progress is a key discussion in actual economic research. [htp://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Egalitarianism&diff=prev&oldid=127218559#Egalitarianism_and_economic_Growth Here workforall.net staff contributed to this title by objetively reporting about the ongoing scientific research on this subject and referenced to a paper of Nobel Prize contender prof. Barro of the Harvard university and one of the World Institute for Development Economics Research. Workforall.net staff synthesised this prime research in two alineas, and references to an graph which is indispensable to understand the alinea. here User Requestion, who does not seem to have the slightest idea what fundamental economic research is about simply erases this valuable contribution, again without gaining consensus. The first tread to the contribution dates from 04.10.2006. The article was ammended hundreds of times since without any user fundamentally objecting to its content. see first introduction of the tread here: optimal gini-coefficient
Title “Data”
here User: Kuru erases here User:Ioannes Pragensis restores it and comments he finds it a valuable link After a few reversals and erasals, the Misplaced Pages user is finally is left without access to the most comprehensive economic data source on the internet, since the source was finally blacklisted. (Also see debate here)
Conclusions
- What once began as a legitimate struggle against guenine spam ( irrelevant, unuseful, untasteful, uninformative or purely commercial links such as WP:EL defined it), and which we all despise has since long degenerated. First in linkspam fundamentalism banning any external link (however relevant it may be), then in censorship of content members of the spam squad dislike, and since a couple of months in ciber harrasement and abuse of power. Most of the harassed newcomers soon give up their struggle and go away to never come back.
- The gang of self declared spam fighters around User:Requestion have total disrespect for the efforts, interests, reputation and privacy of other users and the quality of WP.
They systematically negate WP regulations, abuse power and procedures to ware out and silence opponents, while making grave accusations for the smallest technical error other users make. The span squad also is abusing Misplaced Pages reputation as a reliable source for spreading false accusations all over the world wide web. They thereby are compromising Misplaced Pages trustworthiness for the major search engines
- The gang around User:Requestion found in wikipedia the medium where they could bully other users and remain unpunished for ever. Their moral attitude does not even meet the moral standards of a donwtown street gang. We all know what happens when a street gang takes over a neighbourhood. Ar we letting to fall wikipedia in such degeneration? Is there no administrator left who dares to stand up and defend the values Misplaced Pages once stood for?. The harm this gang does to other users and the devastation they cause to WP quality, comprehensiveness and impartiality must be stopped right now.
