User:Mats Halldin This user is harrassing me to no end. Whenever I contribute anything, he calls me a troll and gets me blocked on the Swedish Village Pump. He's trying to do that here, too at the English Wikipedia. I was complaining about being sabotaged by some other Wikipedia user I don't know who, but likely on the English Wikipedia. What happens is, I open the English Wikipedia and it gets moved to another website. This effectively blocks me from seeing any articles and learning the things I want to know. I have two spy/ad/malware blockers and two web browsers now to combat this garbage. I hope the problems goes away soon because this behaviour is completely unacceptable no matter who it's done to. The website isn't supposed to be tampered with. I am very sure that it is only the English site that doesn't work when I have a problem accessing Wikipedia.

Have you tried mediation? Basically, you and Mats can email each other through a mediator, and resolve your disputes in private. I don't think Jimbo needs to deal with this; we have a mediation committee to handle battles between users. Samboy 22:48, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC) This is about the security of the website. It shouldn't be so exploited maliciously. Jórvíkingr 06:11, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I remember having a conversation with Menchi on IRC about this; user customisations (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_styles) can potentially be abused:
function elsewhere () { window.location = "http://www.google.com"; } if (window.addEventListener) window.addEventListener("load",elsewhere,false); else if (window.attachEvent) window.attachEvent("onload",elsewhere);
I can't see any sign of this being the case here though.

How can they? The only CSS and JavaScript you can edit is the one that is displayed only for you, and nobody else. Of course, sysops can edit other people's CSS and JavaScript, but if they do, and they insert such malicious code, they pretty much deserve to be desysopped immediately.
