I am not going to repeat over and over again the same things and be contributing endlessly. I have a life. Genetics and human decency kicks in the ass that ideology and people like you who insist on defining race following that ideology.

This is what said user posted on another board which he knows is read by the editor in question.

''"No, Ben, you fat, hypocritical fuckface, I do not do the things you do. See, you actually have posted on DU in the past for the purpose of "drumming up supporters" for your biased agenda on Wiki. I never have and never will do the same here because I'm not a slimy shitweasel like yourself. Criticizing your sorry, bloated, shit-stained ass here is not "recruiting" people. It's proving over and over what a worthless excuse for a human being you are. In the immortal words of Vice President Dick Cheney, go "fuck yourself."'''

See Not only is this user going WAY over the line, he's trying to drum up support on other forums in an effort to effect consensus on the ] article talk page. Since this was posted on another board, I'm not sure if or where I should post the NPA templates - but I ask for immediate action. - ] 19:45, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

'''Comment''' - Wow, I hadn't read this before now. I look at that site very infrequently, most recently when I suspected that Jinxmchue was recruiting meatpuppets from there, which he was. I hadn't (yet) re-visited that article to see that he had attacked me there. And I do consider this to be both an attack and meatpuppetry as several people have shown up from that board to join the discussion on the DU article. I have been nothing but polite with him over the present dispute. ] 20:21, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

==={{User|BrownHairedGirl}}===

This user insults me, changes my posts, deletes my comments, reverts the removal of frankly insulting thing's she's posted on my own userspace, has abused her powers to ban me, she does not value other people's comments and thus discredits them according to who posted them (a good idea doesn't care who came up with it), seems to be 'afflicted' with Editcountitis, http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Editcountitis. And finally, she certainly appears to be working with other wikipedians to disrupt dececion boards and get her "enemies" banned. For example, Hainchen deleted one of my valid comments (allegedly spam: (though the message itself was just a copy of what I had spoken to her on her userpage about and an explanation why I had put it there, as she had been claiming that she was being canvassed and it was offensive. origional message can be found: http://en.wikipedia.org/User_talk:BrownHairedGirl#.27Empires.27_Wiki.2C_Which_you_have_opted_for_deletion (note that this post was before it was discovered that it was the wiki page being deleted, not empires own wiki.))) three times, and three times I had to revert it. then, Brownhaired girl blocked me for failing the three revert rule.

She continues to talk and insult me long after the discussion page where we first met was deleted by some admin or other, and even though i do not try to retalliate. She is clearly abusing her power and personally attacking me{{unsigned|Nuka5}}

In fact in the past he has been shown trying to explain why he put an article up in wikipedia for propaganda purposes . Because of this I sometimes question why he creates certain articles (I am not against creating articles, but is there really an ulterior motive?)

Latest revision as of 17:59, 13 August 2024

This page is currently inactive and is retained for historical reference.
Either the page is no longer relevant or consensus on its purpose has become unclear. To revive discussion, seek broader input via a forum such as the village pump.
This process has been discontinued per this discussion.

The personal attack intervention noticeboard (PAIN), created on 7 October 2005, was intended as a counterpart to the request for intervention against vandalism page. A person with complaints over personal attacks could, after giving warnings, report a personal attacker on this page.

Unfortunately, the noticeboard generated a considerable amount of controversy. While vandalism is usually a clear cut case, and administrator intervention (i.e. blocking) is usually uncontroversial, determining whether a comment is a personal attack, incivil, or just simply blunt and frank, can be quite subjective. That led to a lot of arguments, flame wars, tit-for-tat disputes and wikilawyering on this page. Even after several warnings as well as changes to the header designed to instruct users on how to use this page, this noticeboard continued to deteriorate. Due to this deterioration as well as some particularly poor exchanges in December 2006, the entire page was nominated for deletion, with the result that the noticeboard was closed on 10 January 2007.

The closure of this noticeboard does not mean that personal attacks are tolerated; they should never be. It simply means that complaints over personal attacks are moved to different, and more appropriate venues such as the administrators' noticeboard, dispute resolution or, as a last resort, arbitration.
