Do you have to go through some special procedure to become a rc patroller, or do you just go right on ahead and volunteer? Vandalism destroyer 01:18, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Just do it. Dive in, nothing to sign up for.  AndrewJD  TALK  -- 12:02, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Just go for it. I would recommend that you install WP:TWINKLE, it's very easy to install and use. (It adds into your wiki environment, so no extra programs to run, it just adds extra wiki buttons and tabs in your browser). If you don't have some sort of automated tool, you will be living in edit-conflict Hell trying to report someone to AIV. With Twinkle, it's just one-click reporting. - Crockspot 20:54, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

What anti-vandal tool to use?
I've been doing RCP on and off for a few months now the old school way, primarily because I haven't been sure which of the anti-vandal tools would work best for me. Do any fit the following criteria: These 2 criteria are largely because I use 2 different comps during the day and use both browsers alternately. Yes I could d/l Firefox to comp #2 and only edit Wikipedia with that but the portability issue would be helpful if I find myself on computer #x at some point. Any ideas?

 * work in both IE and Firefox
 * don't need to be downloaded to a computer; I prefer portability if possible, which would most likely be one of the scripts

I've been very happy with Twinkle. I don't think it works so hot on IE though. - Crockspot 05:19, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

No...Very unstable on IE but otherwise an improvement over the old school method. Enhanced recent changes helps out a bit. Broken Sphere Msg me 00:59, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
