Answer:

Vandal Patrol

The Vandal Patrol consists of supervisors who watch for people who are abusing the WikiAnswers website. They watch for advertising, spamming, and junk being posted. They look for users who violate the Terms of Use, such as when they overwrite the answers of others, use insults and foul language, or post questions that attack others.
The team often catches vandals in the act and blocks them immediately. After the vandal has been blocked, the team then either repairs the damage, or flags it so that other supervisors can help fix it.
