User:Crazynas/Vandalism

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Just an idea of mine, don't know how to implement it.

Requires:

A dedicated 'master' server to handle parse out the RC.

A program to interactivly control the priority of the possible vandlism (server program)

A program that each user uses to deal with the pages (prolly a modified VandalProof)(user program).

The server:

databases:

user lists:

moderators -- list (static) of users with access to the config utilites

program users -- list (static) of users allowed to access the server

admin -- list (static) of admins

trusted users -- list (static) of users not likely to cause vandalism

uservandal -- list (dynamic) of users that have vandaliszed recently

ipvandal -- list (dynamic) of IP addresses that have vandalized recently

permentip -- list (static) of IPs that need to be watched

filter databases:

strict-- this edit will be reverted by vandalbot, add user to vandal list and ignore edit

probable -- it is probable that this edit is vandalism, assign higher priority

unknown -- not known if edit is vandalism or not

RC list:

high priority -- likely vandalism (kept in list for x seconds)

normal priority -- unknown (kept in list for y seconds)

low priority -- not likely vandalism (kept in list for z seconds)

• the time restriction is to keep the sever sending out reletivly up to date information, if there are too few people working the system

Process:

1. Recive a RC edit

2. Check to see if the edit meets the strict critera

if yes ignores edit and adds user to vandal list

if user is moderator, user, admin or trusted user, sends a message to a moderator alerting them

3. Check to see if the edit meets the probable critera

if yes, high priority

if user is moderator, user, admin or trusted user, sends a message to a moderator alerting them

4. Check to see the user level

if user is a moderator, program user, admin or trusted user sets low priority

if user is a vandal or permentip sets high priority

else sets normal priority

5. The latest edit to each article sets the priority

6. Distributes page diffs to check to the program users starting from high to low

7. Recives and catagorizes vandals based on reverts by program users edits

The user program

Sends a request for a new page to the server

Displays the diff with the option of reverting as vandalism (per VandalProof) or marking the edit as not vandalism

Repeat
