The vandalism of the Main Page was the last straw. I have banned BuddhaInside. This should not require Jimbo's approval since it was a
case
of simple and obvious vandalism. I hope we can get rid of all these Deletexxxx pages he idiotically
created
now.

If you had looked a little closer you would have seen that it wasn't done on purpouse.

Do you mean the move of the main page was not done on purpose? How could it have been an accident? from what others have said this needed a hand-edited URL - it wasn't just a mistaken click of a link. Can you elaborate?
Thanks

Yes I can. What I claim is that BuddhaInside (BI) wasn't intentionally vandalising the Main Page even though that is what happened. Since none of the developers had realised that moving a main page was possible, it is not justified to believe that BI realised that. Because IF BI's intention was to vandalize, why didn't he continue after the first move with other protected pages? However *if* we assume that BI believed that moving the Main Page would create a *copy* of it on his talk page the story becomes more reasonable. It is possible that he used a URL instead of a link because he was busy moving his talk page to the Deletexxx pages. Tim Starling was the developer that solved the problem so I guess he knows.
