The '''Sysop Vandal point of view''' or '''Cabal point of view''' (usually abbreviated SVpov because [[CPOV]] is used to mean [[Critical point of view]]) is the view of the [[sysop power structure]]. By definition, any group of people approves of their own [[systemic bias]] and rejects strong opposition to it. This forms a [[cabal]] which new [[trolls]], perhaps foolishly, oppose in the assumption that the cabal can be forced to see sanity by anything short of brutal physical violence. The [[New Troll point of view]] is thus always and exactly the opposite of the SVpov, and indicates ethical attempts by [[trolls]] to defeat the SVpov by rational argument, before someone blows up the servers. | The '''Sysop Vandal point of view''' or '''Cabal point of view''' (usually abbreviated SVpov because [[CPOV]] is used to mean [[Critical point of view]]) is the view of the [[sysop power structure]] and (if applicable) [[GodKing]]. | ||

Thus [[troll]] activity acts as an important warning to the [[sysop vandalism]] advocates - when it slacks off, that indicates either that the wiki has become irrelevant, or, that opposition will continue by other means, e.g. [[lawsuit]]s. | Thus [[troll]] activity acts as an important warning to the [[sysop vandalism]] advocates - when it slacks off, that indicates either that the wiki has become irrelevant, or, that opposition will continue by other means, e.g. [[lawsuit]]s. | ||
