Yeah, I understand where you're coming from, Dayfinder. The thing is, we do have staff now, and it's our jobs to deal with this sort of thing. There are users, like you and formerly me, who do things to help out, but that's with the blessing of the staff. Basically, it's a matter of courtesy. Having someone just show up and pin a "This should be deleted." to someone else's page looks trollish, and someone taking matters into their own hands without letting us know what they were doing or why is kind of disrespectful. I know that, at least in my case, before I tried to stick tags on things that looked offending, I got to know the staff here and consulted them on what I should do about things I saw. That's really the bottom line. We all know that users like you, Khdog, and others help out with keeping things in order around here, but you guys keep in touch, and don't go over our heads.

It's not so much what LOLSKELETONS did that's the problem, as the way he did it. When you do something about a page or user that's a problem, at least keep us staff in the loop, yeah? That's why I initially went with a three-day ban. It was the shortest time I could be sure would be noticed, just as a way to give a warning of, "Hey. At least talk with us." without making it a big public fiasco...which backfired horribly, obviously.
