SpongeBobia-SBFW Controversy

The is a string of events that occurred in August - September, 2018.
==History==
===Late August===
It all started when one SBFW user entered the SpongeBobia discord room via a requested invite. A few days later, administrator Golfpecks256 experienced some disturbances. Being a discord admin, he asked the community of users in the server who pinged him, curious if anyone needed help. Nobody answered so the case was ignored. However, the pings continued to notify Golfpecks256 and hence an investigation was looked into. The pings were made then deleted, and logs showed an SBFW user performing this guilty action. The report was dismissed and the user was given a warning and told to stop once they were caught. On August 25, 2018, a new user on the Encyclopedia SpongeBobia started vandalizing articles massively. Administrator Golfpecks256 eventually responded to the reports of this and mass-deleted the contributions of that user. But suspicion was raising as some of the vandal's edits mentioned terms familiar within' the SpongeBob Fanon Wiki community. Golfpecks256 decided to dismiss the CheckUser request planned until further notice. 
===Early September===
Tensions started heating up between the administrations of the two communities. SBFW has been very disturbing and the ESB Crew were concerned about it. That brought SBFW to account and some administrators and users paid close attention to the activity of SBFW. The same day, administrator Golfpecks256 retired from SBFW due to all the stressful and toxic situations he had been facing.
A few days later, another vandal started some vandalism and was a sock of the first vandal account. The vandalism was not as serious as the first incident and bureaucrat Spongebob456 swiftly handled the situation at first hand. And Golfpecks256 decided to investigate. 
On the Fanonia SpongeBobia, Golfpecks256 was appointed sysop back in July and planned with JCM a wiki cleanup. However, it was halted when some SBFW users made some trollish actions against the FSB administration. SBFW was showing a lot of hate to FSB, hence a discussion between the administration(s) of SBFW and ESB were brought up. FSB's conclusion was to simply initiate blocks if the situation got worse. And Golfpecks256 noticed how the vandal of the second offense mentioned "FSB is garbage," hinting it could be made by an SBFW user. 
Therefore, a discussion was brought up between the SpongeBobia administration to investigate and resolve the case. Locknloaded23, the same user who was responsible for the pinging incident in mid-August in discord, admitted to the socks both on the wiki and on discord. Golfpecks256 immediately took note of this and reported the user to FANDOM staff for abusing multiple accounts to disrupt and vandalize a wiki. During the report, he also mentioned other users who have been very trollish, with behavior issues and with rude comments appearing frequently. He also notified Spongebob456 to ask for thoughts. After the report was sent, a DM conversation was leaked hence SBFW users saw the plans to report and started panicking vigorously as they had the impression FANDOM might shut down the whole wiki due to this and the insanely amount of Terms of Use violations the wiki has gone through. 
Golfpecks256 was furious with all the backlash he was receiving for it. He decided to send another report in an attempt to close the wiki to Kirkburn as TheKorraFanatic rightly pointed out, SBFW is eligible for deletion due to it's very bad atmosphere and questionable content. As well as its history of ToU violations and how it affects other communities. 
A few ESB administration members were inducing a SpongeBobia network-based block to all SBFW users. Golfpecks256 is sysop on all wikis on the network, thus there would be no issues with blocking. The block would be initiated to help prevent disruption, as well as block the IP addresses of SBFW users to prevent future vandals and/or socks that could cause disruption around the network. The next day, Golfpecks256 enforced a three month block on Locknloaded23 on FSB due to the disruption as his only contributions. Some users suggested a meeting in the SpongeBobia wiki chatroom to discuss what should be done together at once to resolve the conflict before matters get worse.
