A lot of user's tend to not really know what the true meaning of vandalism is. Sure vandalism is destroying the page (blanking and replacing content for your own personal enjoyment, like "DIS STORY SUCKS" ) and adding content that doesn't relate to the article's purpose (like one of the revisions in The Comfy and Cozy Cabin where a user added "NOPE " in the spacing of the paragraphs).

This is where users really do not know: Vandalism also counts as changing the content of the original page, to your OC. As SOMEGUY brought it up, and based on my encounter through some, changing the content of the page so that your content can be kept on here, does count as vandalism. Not only that, it may get a really good story deleted from the site for good.

"How does one do such a thing?" Simple, really. When a user sees that the title was taken, he/she goes on to the page and replaces its content - from my encounter with a user. Or when the original content of the page, to the user, sucks towards the vandals opinion. So they change the whole entire plotline to the article. A great example of this is one of the revisions in Lost in the Hell of Yellowstone. How do you know you're not doing vandalism on a story, by editing it? If it's a grammar mistake, or changing a sentence to sound more better (and not the story to you)

So do not do any of these, for consequences will be followed if you do.
