IPs of users, which just vandalize the first time, should get a one week ban, i think thats long enough. The second time, one month or permanent, etc.

I just write this here for getting a transparent and common way of dealing with vandalism. We will one day also get soft vandalism (like damaging the pages of rivalling tutorials or addons), i think letting the people cool down for a while will be smarter than just permamently banning them.

== Reacting to vandalism ==
 
 
 
I don't see any point in banning users for a week if what they've done is replace a page with a bunch of links or other rubbish. They are _not_ _ever_ going to contribute anything useful to our wiki, so what's the point in giving them a second chance? Anyone disagrees with my statement? It's enough of a pain they exist, let alone counting how many times they've vandalised.
 
 
 
I mean, I can see why Wikipedia is milder - there is some tiny chance the person might do something beneficial. But I doubt this applies to OrbiterWiki.
 
 
 
As for soft vandalism, I agree that a short ban is the right thing to do, possibly even only a few days.
