This is an optional question I used to pose to RFA candidates. It is designed to simulate a review of the contribution/warning/block history of a vandal. Anyone may pose this question - see further information for necessary parameters. If you are not at RFA, but would like to answer it, please express your opinion on my talk page. See the collapsed section for further information. |
Optional question from xeno
- Q. As an administrator, you will come across some extremely vulgar language and often come under attack for your actions. You will most likely have to deal with some fairly troublesome users. The users you block will sometimes ask to be unblocked. Please review the very NSFW scenario outlined below and describe how you would respond to the IP's request to be unblocked.
- A:
The left-hand column is how the article or user/talk page looked before the IP changed it. The right-hand column shows changes made by the IP in bold red text. The column on the left also shows warnings received from other users and blocks that you made.
This example represents the entire contribution, warning, and block history of the IP in question. For the purposes of this exercise, you can assume low-to-nil collateral damage from the blocking of this IP ("semi-permanent" dynamic assignment from cable Internet provider - i.e. turning off the modem for a while, releasing the lease of the IP, etc. could re-assign this IP to someone else).
If you are at all unclear about anything, feel free to ask for clarification at your RFA or my talk page.
Anyone may pose this question to candidates if they wish, you may use {{subst:User:Xenocidic/RFAQ|#|Your name|Some optional prefix text}}
for this purpose. i.e. {{subst:User:Xenocidic/RFAQ|4|[[User:NuclearWarfare|'''NuclearWarfare''']]|This is usually Xeno's question, but I like it too:}}

Superficially, all-ceramic restorations may appear to be more beneficial than gold, but long term benefits are certainly restricted to that of aesthetic concerns, which is a subjective issue that should be seriously weighed against the considerable benefits of gold. | Superficially, all-ceramic restorations may appear to be more beneficial than gold, but long term benefits are certainly restricted to that of aesthetic concerns, which is a subjective issue that should be seriously weighed against the considerable benefits of gold. bullshit. |

I have noticed that you revert a lot of vandalism. Have you heard of rollback before? It allows a user to revert vandalism much faster than by undo-ing it. I think you should ask for it. I am not an admin, or I would give it to you myself. | I have noticed that you revert a lot of vandalism and you like it up the ass. Have you heard of rollback before?

To cure the infection and save the tooth, the dentist drills into the pulp chamber and removes the infected pulp by scraping it out of the root canals. Once this is done, the dentist fills the cavity with an inert material and seals up the opening. | To cure the infection and save the tooth, the dentist drills into the pulp chamber and removes the infected pulp by scraping it out of the root canals.
