Process
AR cases are a three step process:
- Alert: An attentive user notices a trend of vandalism from a given IP, runs a whois, determines that the IP is registered to an ISP or organization that is likely to respond to an abuse report, and reports the IP here.
- Under investigation: Once made, an alert is picked up by an investigator, who begins an investigation and compiles a report.
- In Contact: Once a case has been investigated and a report prepared, the case is passed to a contactor. The contactor then attempts to contact the provider or organization responsible for the IP address. The contactor explains the situation to the organization and points them to the prepared report. The contact remains in contact with the organization, most likely by email, to answer any further questions or provide other requested information.
Once the contactor has made contact with the provider, the case remains open as long as contact continues. If the provider successfully resolves the complaint, then the contactor closes the case, with a summary of the result. If the provider is unwilling to cooperate, the contactor notes the case, and closes it with a summary.
New alerts
Please follow the instructions below. Please do not list IPs that have only made a few edits (unless they are part of a bigger case), as only severe, continuing vandalism should be listed here.
To report an IP address
- In the text box below, replace
IP
with the IP address you are reporting and click theReport IP
button. For a range of IP addresses, use the format127.0.0.x Range
and for two or more ranges use the format127.0.0.x and 192.168.0.x Ranges
. When reporting ranges, please replace the digits that are different with an x in the title of your report. There's no need to report different ranges if the IP addresses are sufficiently similar or run consecutively, 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.10.1 as an example (these could be reported as192.168.x.x Range
). Please note that 127.0.0.1 and any IP starting with 192.168 generally aren't the IP you're looking for. These IPs generally can't be accessed by someone outside of your LAN. - Edit the resulting page, following the instructions in uppercase. Remember to provide a summary of why you believe the IP address(es) requires attention. Please use an {{IPvandal}} template for each IP address you are reporting (this is especially important when reporting a range), list the name of the provider (from the whois report), and briefly summarize the situation. Sign your comments with
~~~~
in case the investigator needs to contact you for clarification, and save the page. - Edit this page, adding the following text above the most recent nomination (replacing IP with the IP address you're reporting):
