Wikiquote:Votes for deletion/Template:Bansock

Template:Bansock
When used this template does three things:
 * 1) It creates a copy of Template:PotentialLTA, currently nominated for deletion here.
 * 2) It pings every single administrator on the site.
 * 3) It pings every single active editor on the site.

The PotentialLTA template is nominated for deletion as an unnecessary duplicate of sockpuppet with a over the top message that only serves to encourage sockmasters and some completely useless "confirm or deny" buttons that don't do anything useful.

In addition to the problems with that template that have lead to it heading towards deletion the additional pinging functionality here is not useful. Pinging every single administrator is not necessary and is only going to become a nuisance. Pinging editors who aren't actually admins and can't do anything about the vandal anyway is useless in addition to being a nuisance. Finally telling dozens and dozens of people "come look at this sock account!" is just feeding the trolls and giving them the attention they wanted in the first place. — 192.76.8.85 14:08, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
