Wikivoyage:User ban nominations
User bans are put into practical effect by using a Mediawiki software feature to block edits to any page (except pages in that banned user's user talk page) by the banned user.
Add nominations for user blocks to the list below, but please do so only after reviewing Wikivoyage:How to handle unwanted edits. After a nomination has been made, the nominator is responsible for ensuring that appropriate notice is given on the allegedly delinquent user's talk page of the nomination made here.
In general the preferred way of handling problem users is through the use of soft security. In the case of automated spam attacks the Wikivoyage:Spam filter can also be a valuable tool for stopping unwanted edits.
For an archive of older nominations, see Wikivoyage:User ban nominations/Archive. Nominations are automatically closed and archived after 14 days of inactivity.
107.9.140.157
This user has created several copyvios, hoaxes (for road routes that do not exist), and deliberately misleading information to several articles, demonstrating no sign of change either. I don't see much hope when they have refused to respond to any of the talk page messages directed at them. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta) 20:22, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- Sure, if this requires a formal user ban, rather than just blocking at sight like Brendan. Meanwhile, block for a month. Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:00, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- I think I'm subconsciously treating this like an ANU thread, even though this isn't such. I'll change the block later today if there are no other objections. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta) 23:27, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- Welp, they've just earned themselves a 2-week block. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta) 01:52, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

70.68.168.129
This user is being disruptive and unwilling to listen with their use of AI in discussions. Can someone else look at their behavior since I've been directly involved? --SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta) 05:23, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- Support Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:34, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- I think the incivility on Special:Diff/4860194 and Special:Diff/4860189 are grounds for a ban, but it's best for an uninvolved admin to impose it. Any takers? --SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta) 07:11, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- I've revdel the revisions. But it's a bit sloppy since I have to redact the text after someone replied to it. OhanaUnitedTalk page 07:30, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- I now blocked them for three months for the talk page message. I haven't been involved lately, and I don't think my previous comments on their talk page can make me regarded as partial. –LPfi (talk) 08:06, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you, LPfi. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta) 08:08, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

- The most recent comment posted by the user at Talk:British Columbia is alone grounds for a ban. Support. --Comment by Selfie City (talk) (contributions) 14:40, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- Yes indeed. However, blocking their IP address for more than a few months is probably useless, as addresses get reassigned. –LPfi (talk) 15:18, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- Agreed. The ban should be a "permanent" ban in the sense that any reappearances of this editor should be blocked, but for no longer than three months for the reason you stated. --Comment by Selfie City (talk) (contributions) 21:34, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

- Support. I didn't recall having blocked but went to check the history, which clearly shows that whoever is generating this AI interaction is not here to build a travel guide. Ibaman (talk) 14:50, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- Support for the reasons above. Ground Zero (talk) 15:59, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- Support - 70 seems to have been trolling from the outset. Gizza (roam) 23:27, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
