I’ve already sent a warning to him/her, but we’ve had a vandal who’s appeared to blank 4 pages. Luckily, I reverted the edits within 5 minutes. Just thought I’d post this here. The user was SnowAxius.

Thanks for reverting the vandalism. Blanking pages is a pretty common occurrence, but luckily (as you pointed it out) it can be reverted quickly. I appreciate your efforts to inform the community, but most people are aware, so it’s not necessary to write a forum post every time it happens. If vandals are persistent and you feel they should be blocked, the best thing to do is leave a message on the Admin Notice Board or notify an admin directly.
Hmm, yeah. I’ve been with Wikia for 5 years to know that blanking pages is one of the more common signs of vandalism. Trust me, I’ve been fighting against vandalism for the past 3 years. Yeah, I get what you mean, I’ll try to avoid making forum posts in the future. =]

- Thank you for the notice. I thought these links might come in handy:
Hey, at least it is better than creating horrible articles. @NightfireJM
had a problem with user @Quagneynye
, who was being really abusive. He also vandalized talk pages with messages that were just so dirty and bad. I’m okay with users blanking pages as long as they don’t make horrible articles and send mean talk page messages.
