GuildWiki:Quietly deal with vandals

You all pay way to much attention to vandals. I don't mean that they aren't an issue and they don't matter but everyone talks about them way too much. Posting on their talk pages when they start only challenges them to keep going.

We are giving them way too much fame. Whoever this bird of prey guy is, he's gained a level of infamy across both wikis which can only encourage them and other vandals.

How I think we should handle vandals:
 * Treat each IP as an unique person. We cannot (AFAIK) actually know if they are the same people. This also prevents these vandals from building fame.
 * Do NOT troll the vandal's talk page. This only provokes them
 * Do NOT get into big lengthy discussions over whether they can and cannot be banned. If the vandal has a problem, they can email an admin and discuss it.
 * If a vandal starts a discussion in reply to a ban notice, politely and succinctly explain why the notice is there.
 * Do not dignify those who are trolling with a response at all.
