User blog:VeggieGoBrrrr/Regarding Troll Activity

Hello everyone. For users who may not know me, my name is Veggie and I am one of the Hazbin Hotel Wiki's thread moderators. I am in charge of monitoring posts and comments in the discussions part of the wiki as well as monitoring your personal message walls and article comments.

Now for the past couple of weeks, we have had numerous gore troll attacks made by a certain that we know as “Jeff the Griller”. This user targets users at random by posting gore imagery to message walls as well as discussions posts. They may also use insults and nazi-related talk to try and strike fear into the hearts of users.

Due to these attacks, I think its best to go over what to do in the case of a gore attack.

= What you, the user, should do. = In the worst case scenario where you are being targeted personally on your message wall, follow the steps below:


 * 1) Report the message by clicking the report button.
 * 2) DO NOT respond to the message. The more attention the troll gets, the more he will want to come back.
 * 3) Send a message to the wiki’s admin (See @Nightsilver) with the link to the attack message and the users profile. You may also send a warning to thread moderator, Veggies Alt, in case Nightsilver isn’t active so that he can get another higher staff member to ban them.

In other cases where there may be an attack, follow the steps below:


 * 1) Report the post or comment.
 * 2) DO NOT acknowledge the troll in anyway.
 * 3) Send a report to the admin.

When accounting the troll, keep these things in mind:


 * Feeding trolls only make them stronger. DO NOT tell them to f-off or to go away. They will only attack you more and more.
 * The troll targets people at random. Do not feel like you’re being attacked personally.
 * The trolls usernames are usually something profane and promote either the nazi regime, rape, etc.

= What the moderator will do. = Now for the past couple of attacks, they’ve attacked when I wasn’t active. But if they decide to attack when I’m active, then the following will happen:


 * Message wall attacks
 * The specific message will be locked.
 * The mod will report the user to the admin.
 * Discussions attacks
 * All posts made in the last 24 hrs. will be locked and a recon post will be made by the moderator to ensure the wikis safety until the troll has been yeeted.
 * Anyone caught not following guidelines will also be reported for feeding troll.

If you have any questions, please contact a thread mod or admin on their message walls:
