I've had a contributor page for going on 5 years now, and I haven't been vandalized once.
Waiting on a TRS slot? Finishing off one of these cleaning efforts will usually open one up.I have been, but I have a special section designated for it =P
Real, true, and malicious vandalism is quite rare. I've had my troper page for a long while and no one has done any edits I needed to revert. The only common vandalism is the "Vandalize my page here" stuff which consists of "Hi! What's up?"
"The fact that your food can be made into makeshift bombs alarms the Hell out of me, Scrye." - CharlatanIn my experience, 99% of the "vandalism" on troper pages are from those who play a forum game where they invite folks to post random stuff on said page. I've had a troper page for as long (if not longer) than ccoa, and I've similarly been vandal-free.
Of course, since my troper page is not what you'd think (due to the underscore in my screen name), it's possible that any likely vandal just can't find it.
Reminder: Offscreen Villainy does not count towards Complete Monster.Actual troper page vandalism, as opposed to the Just for Fun variety, happens rarely enough that you should not have to worry about it. If it should occur, just let us know and we'll deal with it. You should of course put your Tropers page on your Watchlist.
Edited by Fighteer "It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Pretty much what the others said. I myself had my contributor page maliciously vandalized once over the past two-and-something years as a troper here, and the culprit had been discovered and dealt with quickly. Helps that I wasn't the only target.
Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.

If I give myself a troper page, how can I prevent vandalism? Is asking the mods to lock it after I write it the only option?
