Over the next few days, DBX Fanon will be applying for, and receiving, the usage of two functions called the Auto-Confirm system and the Abuse Filter. What these will help us to do is to narrow down, and in some cases outright prevent, some trolls from performing certain tasks.

Take the recent... experiences as example, we will be able to block off certain keywords and automatically ban him when he attempts to befoul other people's work.

There is, however, a potential catch.

See, Death Battle Fanon also implemented this a few months ago and - should Fandom make an error - the site may be inaccessible for a brief while. You'll be able to come on the site, but edits may temporarily be banned. This will be fixable, and the risk of this far outweighs the constant risk of vandalism of the nature we were experiencing.

I guess the purpose of this was to warn everyone there is a chance that we may end up unable to edit for a few days. BUT there is nothing to worry about as it is a part of us installing a new defensive measure against vandals and trolls.

Thanks everyone for understanding, and sorry in advance for the temporary lockdown.
