User:Sikon/How to get banned

Partially sporked from Uncyclopedia.

Ban tips for beginner users

 * 1) Blank pages. Yes, by gosh, there are a few vandals out there that didn't know this.
 * 2) Keep re-creating an article that an admin keeps deleting.
 * 3) Write a nasty talk page note to the admin that keeps deleting your "article".
 * 4) Complain to other admins that an admin keeps deleting your "article".
 * 5) Send an email to every admin on Wookieepedia that an admin keeps deleting your "article".
 * 6) Create the talk page for your "article" that three different admins have deleted, asking why it is being deleted.
 * 7) Create an army of sockpuppets with names like "(User's name) has (synonym for small) (body part)" or "I have (synonym for large) (body part)." This will probably get you banned and deleted quicker than the other methods.
 * 8) Create an army of sockpuppets and tell people in IRC about it, then complain to admins how psychologically damaging it is to get a permanent ban and then say I didn't know using a sockpuppet could cause me to be banned like this?
 * 9) Blank a popular article and replace it with a picture of gay sex.
 * 10) Revert edits to a vandalised diff, and say in the summary "Revert Vandalism".

Ban tips for intermediate users

 * 1) Write long political rants or complaints on voting pages.
 * 2) Move pages around without good reason.
 * 3) Move pages to new locations, then move them back to their original location just to prove that you can.
 * 4) Complain to an admin that they're stupid (a coward, a jerkass, a dick, etc.), and is ruining pages, is wrecking your template, or otherwise "have no right" to do whatever it is that they did.
 * 5) Dick with user pages, policy pages, or articles that offend your moral sensibility.
 * 6) Dick with the Palpatine article.
 * 7) Create articles with titles like "(Admin name) IS A (expletive)" and "(Admin name) LICKS (expletive) FOR CASH", but that contain glowing praise about the admin in question.
 * 8) Vandalize pages as an anonymous IP, until every IP address in your school is banned or rangeblocked.
 * 9) Vandalize your own user page as an anonymous IP or sockpuppet.
 * 10) Rewrite an article from scratch, then mark it as a minor edit with the summary being "formatting".
 * 11) Make a huge number of large consecutive edits with a minor edit on top.
 * 12) Never use the preview button.
 * 13) Complain on the Senate Hall that an admin keeps deleting your article.
 * 14) Create an esoteric template, and spam it on a bunch of articles.
 * 15) Use USERNAME in a childish manner (such as, but not limited to, adding "  is gay" to pages).
 * 16) Talk about your new template idea in the Senate Hall.
 * 17) Praise Encyclopedia Dramatica.

Ban tips for advanced users

 * 1) Try to get Wookieepedians to form a union.
 * 2) Dick with essential system templates.
 * 3) Repeatedly revert another user, asking why they "ruined things" with their changes.
 * 4) Repeatedly harass other users in the edit summary.
 * 5) Write long political rants or complaints on every page you visit.
 * 6) Make complaints about the Inquisitorius at every opportunity — on talk pages, in your signature, and even inside of templates.
 * 7) Put delete on a featured article.
 * 8) Rewrite a featured article.
 * 9) Rename an article on a controversial matter to a title you prefer.
 * 10) Insist that there is a cabal.
 * 11) Use an open proxy.
 * 12) Create multiple sockpuppets, then have them collaborate on articles, begin friendships, vote for each other, form alliances, fall in love, get married, give birth to more sockpuppets, become disillusioned with the marriage, have affairs, find out about each others' affairs, break up, start fighting with each other, create more sockpuppets to become new spouses...
 * 13) Become an admin and vandalise protected pages
 * 14) Vandalise the main page. No, seriously.
 * 15) Claim to be under 13.

Ban tips for admins

 * 1) Unprotect the Main Page.
 * 2) Reveal all secrets of the cabal. (The ban would be due to the fact that the cabal doesn't exist, of course)
 * 3) Rangeblock 0.0.0.0/0. This is actually impossible, so just rangeblock everything from 0.0.0.0/16 to 255.255.0.0/16.
 * 4) Ban users just for the fun of it, even if they're innocent.
 * 5) Delete the main page.
 * 6) Block 127.0.0.1.
 * 7) Ban yourself. Duh.
