According to you, I'm just a silly little person whose come in and has no idea whats going on (LOLRONG). Stop going on about how incompetant we are, get out of happy land, and open your eyes. Jeez, its trying to reason with somone with the brains of a brick wall, eh? To be truthful, I don't really care if you have a major in latin and a minor in linguistics, or whatever it is you have, since really, it doesn't matter.

:::::@Miles: Presenting an opinion (even a crude opinion as the case may be) is not, by any stretch of the imagination vandalism, though one could make the case for trolling or disruption I 'spose.
:::::@Semicolon: The fact that the problem predates me does not detract from my ability to respond to that problem as I see fit. And how many times do I have to say it? I'm not here to fix your problems, I ''can't'' fix your problems. I'm here to convince you that there is a problem, a fact which although you seemingly accept, you deny at least as much. Although there's potential for exacerbation of the problem, I hardly think that my few posts amount to anywhere near the degree of maliciousness that I would expect to be met by a GTFO-esque comment. As to contacting Wikia, from what I've been told by KirbyKing (assuming he's right) that would do no good.  I've identified the problem from my point of view any number of times, you chose to respond by telling me to shove off, thus starting all of this drama, drama for which I hold ''you'' responsible.  KirbyKing, at least, responded to my queries calmly and intellectually, you on the other hand chose to dismiss my post and exacerbate the situation beyond all belief. If you don't want to listen to us, don't respond.

::::::That'd be lovely if you could pull it off, mate. But, unless I missed a whole heck of a lot of discussion, there's a lot to be done before you come to a "decision."

:::::::My apologies on the "vandals" point.  Still, even if Randall lost his temper he still is a sysop and has earned it.  If you look at his request for adminship it's clear he knows what he's doing.  The source of our current problem isn't any one admin; rather, it's that their fights end up with non-admin level users getting  banned for little reason. My suggestion (that few would appreciat), is that every current sysop must defend their position by whatever our new RfA policy is, to see if they still have earned it.

:::::::Just so you know, Warwick, Semi wasn't talking about Randall being his friend, he was talking about me.  And as for the bans that Randall gave, if you didn't notice, I've commuted them (if I missed one, let me know).  The only one I didn't commute was Blue Ninjakoppa and he ''repeatedly'' made vulgar personal attacks against multiple users, and then, after reciveing a short ban, continued to use his talk page to rant and attack other users.  If that ''isn't'' ban-worthy on your wiki, then I don't know what is (what follows is sarcasm) and will be contacting Willy on Wheels so he can find a place for his work that doesn't get him banned.  [[User:Clarinet Hawk|Clarinet Hawk]] <small>([[User talk:Clarinet Hawk|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/Clarinet Hawk|contributions]])</small> 21:11, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
:::::::::That's not a bad idea actually.  Part of my frustration lies in the utter lack of a venue for reconfirmation and no-confidence voting.  As to Randall, what worries me is less that he lost his temper (that much I can forgive anyone), but, rather, that his talk page, when taken as a whole, demonstrates a ''modus operandi'' that ill-befits a Sysop, i.e. an isolated incident is one thing, a pattern of behavior is quite another.  And, unfortunately, commuting the bans, though admirable, does not address the pattern of behavior, which is what I've been trying to get at all along.  &ndash; [[User:Defiant Elements|<font color="black">Defiant Elements</font>]] 21:13, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, that'd be worth a ban on this wiki- I must have missed Blue Ninja, because I don't recall seeing that. I'm personally expecting to be banned now, so hey. It seems that there's been a lot of misunderstanding about what we're saying around here- Everyone is misunderstanding each other, and I think that Colon is just becoming annoyed because he doesnt want to think that this is happening, as well. --[[User:Warwick]] 21:20, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

::::::::Miles, you write: ''"If you look at his (Randall's) request for adminship it's clear he knows what he's doing."'' I looked at it, and I can see he's competent with wiki technology. What is called into question here is not his technical proficiency, but rather his ability to manage users. He doesn't have to have that to be a valuable admin, but if he doesn't, he should stick to templates and leave the users to the other admins. --[[User:M.mendel|◄mendel►]] ([[User talk:M.mendel|talk]]) 00:12, 22 August 2008 (UTC) ''(edited 00:26, 22 August 2008 (UTC))''

Honestly, DE, I responded to you several times in a polite manner. I've never broken calm. Perhaps my words were at times incendiary, but they never broke calm. Maybe you didn't like what I asked of you, but don't mistake it for impoliteness. I asked you what the problem was. You didn't state it. I don't even know if you can identify what really happened. In fact, I'd be surprised if you could even tell me what the problem was beyond what I said to 'Miles' and beyond a sysop banning people he shouldn't have banned the first time around. Do you understand his motivation? Do you know what they did to him? His reaction was wrong, to be sure, but their reaction to his action was worse, meritting ban. So please, surprise me.

::I lost my temper with you. Not him. He's been civil. I've tried to be civil with him. I may have lost it a little bit with him, but that's overflow frustration from you. I'd apologize to him if I was really jerk to him. I wouldn't really to you, but I don't think you want that. Seriously, guy, you can do whatever you want. I honestly don't care anymore.

I know this isn't any of my business, but you guys have been making a complicated conversation. I know about the situation you are currently talking about, although you make it sound like you're barely talking about it. Here's what it sounds like you said: [Cult of Personality|CP]] came in, Randall banned ⅓ of them, and now you guys are arguing over it. It sounds too complicated to specifically explain. But you guys sound like that's not even part of this whole situation. Personally, I don't even know who's on who's ''side''. Ok, Semicolon, I take it you're on Randall's side. We'll consider that the ''SmashWiki Sysops'' side. The other side is formed from regular Users, and maybe a couple of Admins, in or out of this Wiki. It's getting too confusing, so somebody explain this in general. I know the whole Randall banning 5 Users-Charitwo unbanned 2 Users problem. '''[[User:MarioGalaxy|<span style="color:Gold">Mario</span><span style="color:Silver">Galaxy</span>]]''' {[[User talk:MarioGalaxy|<span style="color:Gray">talk</span>]]} 21:20, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
:@Semicolon: I've purposefully not referred to any one event as the be all and end all, but is it fair to assume that you're referring to GalaxiaD and his cronies (for lack of a better term), who, from what I understand created and populated the Cult of Personality, used it as the equivalent of a LiveJournal and engaged in general asshattery that contributed little or nothing to SmashWiki?  I'm not precisely clear on what warranted the original bans, Randall seems to have had a grudge against 'em for some reason, but I have read the discussion that followed and I'm aware that Randall was cussed out and sent hate mail on at least one occasion by a number of Galaxia's cronies -- not to mention the drama that Galaxia precipitated on his talk page after the fact or the allegations of sockpuppetry.  I can keep going if you like, but, as I said, I'm far less concerned about this particular event and far more concerned about the "big picture" (again for lack of a better term).  &ndash; [[User:Defiant Elements|<font color="black">Defiant Elements</font>]] 21:25, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
::Okay, here's what you missed. Since the months that the kids joined the wiki, they contributed to the content, but they misued several things like talk pages and user pages and the like. Randall was irritated by this, as were all the sysops, but that wasn't grounds to ban them. They just continually reminded them the proper usage of the facilities and pages, some nicer than others, but generally civil. Then, there were some names thrown around from misinterpretated comments (I forgot where, but I could look it up if you needed me to). Then, one of the members of the Cult of Personality made an account on their forum impersonating Randall and proceeded with a character assassination. The other members of the Cult did not know it was one of their own; they thought it was Randall. They got very angry at Randall and proceeded to take it out on him. When it was discovered it was one of their own, and Randall discovered this, things got worse. There were arguements and ad hominem attacks sufficently for what Randall though constituted a ban. While the ban was executed, the banned members continued to harass on talk pages and the attacks got worse, and to an unacceptable level, using language worthy of longer banning. The bans were reinstated/extended. This was done without consultation with the other sysops by Randall. As C-Hawk has said, many of the bans have been removed. There were wrongs on both accounts, but it's over. The problem wasn't the policy, it was the result of a clash between diametrically opposed personalities and conditions, and it happens. I don't understand what this 'big picture' is. I contend it doesn't exist. I don't think you should have made these judgements without knowing the whole story, but at least, provided you read this, you won't be ignorant. If anybody has anything else to add to the story, feel free. I'm pretty sure I may have gotten one or two of the details incorrect or insufficiently explained. And for the record, if having the sysops run again would 'fix the big picture' I'm all for it. [[User:Semicolon|Semicolon]] ([[User talk:Semicolon|talk]]) 22:08, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
:::Alright, thanks for the update.  As I said though, the original block is immaterial to this discussion, and commuting the bans doesn't fix the problem either... I'm really not sure how many other ways there are to say this... I'm also not sure when we started discussing policy... in fact, aside from the reference to the blocking policy, I don't think I've mentioned policy once (although I suppose RfA is tangentially related).  When I say the 'big picture' I mean that, from what I can tell, this incident is not an isolated incident, rather it is one in a string of incidents in which Randall has been involved that establish a poor modus operandi, a pattern of behavior that is likely to continue if unchecked.  And that modus operandi is what I'm concerned about.  If it still isn't clear, I'm really not sure what else I can say.  &ndash; [[User:Defiant Elements|<font color="black">Defiant Elements</font>]] 22:16, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

::Orale... I said General! That's specific. I already know that! By the way you sound like Randall, as you considered his crew members, "cronies" (no insult intended, mind you). However, you most likely inadvertently insulted them, while Randall does so intentionally. He considers himself far superior. I believe his words were, "Banning me for banning other Users of this Wiki will add to the degeneration of this Wiki." More so, Randall is banning members from a Wiki whose former leader is 14 years old. Randall is 24, he should have some dignity as a Sysop.

:::I would like to resurrect my earlier point that I think would be of help:  I think ALL sysops should be sugject to going through the RfA process again or else they would lose their admin powers.  While some will think I'm just saying this out of spite or anger at Randall and the other sysops, you're wrong.  I just don't see any other way that the SmashWiki community will be satisfied with its sysops.

===Meeting===
Here's what I think: we should schedule a meeting to end all of this arguing, debating, etc. We make a forum specifically for that meeting. First, we use your idea, Miles. We have ALL sysops go through the RfA process, with the sysops remaining afterwards still stay for the meeting. We discuss the situation then, as it will give people enough time to examine the situation (it took me a bit of time to read this qhole conversation from the top of the page). Miles, do you wish to add anything?

:I don't see why this is necessary.  Now that I've (apparently) satisfactorily explained myself and the problem I hoped to address, and now that we've got a decent manner of resolution in mind, discussion should now shift to the merits of the Sysop reconfirmation.  Then, if we get consensus on that, when it comes time for the reconfirmations, these issues will be discussed in more specific depth in relation to the particular Sysop in question.  If Randall (for instance) is no longer fit to be a Sysop, that will undoubtedly come out on the reconfirmation; after all, that's what reconfirmations are for.  &ndash; [[User:Defiant Elements|<font color="black">Defiant Elements</font>]] 22:05, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
::Well, now that we've focused on the Sysop reconfirmation, you're probably right. However, I still think that we need to schedule it. I don't we think we can do it today, as I don't believe all Sysops are here at the moment. So, as I said, we should schedule a day where we have all of the Sysops go through the RfA process.

Not to say that there are not issues to be addressed with the current sysop's, but I have a big problem with two users waltzing in here from another wiki and demanding that all sysops be demoted and reapply.  Not that I am not fully confident that the sysops at present would not make a proper defense of themselves, but until [[User:Angela|Angela]] or some other staff come in here and ask for a reconfirmation, I see no reason why we should be held to the whims of two editors of another wiki.  As a side note, the only people who can ''remove'' user rights are staff, and they will need much further evidence than has been provided thus far.  [[User:Clarinet Hawk|Clarinet Hawk]] <small>([[User talk:Clarinet Hawk|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/Clarinet Hawk|contributions]])</small> 22:44, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

== Hi ==
 
I was led here after browsing some user's edits on GuildWiki (like so many of us lol.) I would like to add my 2 cents.<br>
On GuildWiki, we have this guideline, not really a policy, but most admins try to follow it. Basically, if an admin is involved in a personal dispute with a user, then that admin should ask another, neutral, admin to step in and review the situation. That neutral admin, who idealy is not involved in the dispute in any way, will then decide if anyone warrants a ban.<br>
This guideline has saved GuildWiki from quite a bit of WikiDrama© in the past, in which people accuse an admin of abusing their powers to ban someone they don't like. Which, correct me if I'm wrong, is what started this whole thing.<br>
Auron, a bureaucrat on 3 wikis, including GuildWiki, is usually that "neutral party" because he's fair, doesn't really care about anyone except himself, and can intelligently debate. He is not above banning a sysop who he believes needs a time out. I think this wiki would benefit from such a tactic. --[[User:Macros|Macros]] ([[User talk:Macros|talk]]) 12:12, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Hey; I found it important that I tell you how impressed I am with you, based on very little. It seems like very few people here (especially admins) have any interest in properly addressing others' viewpoints. It doesn't take much really; as long as you don't quickly bark out your opinions as fact (which is more or less ignoring the person all together).
 
Anyway, I just found it to be very refreshing, thanks.

:Hey, I'd really appreciate it if you could help me out with any input at all on how to properly argue with CHawk. I'm very inexperienced with these kinds of things, and I seem to be getting nowhere, as my specific comments remain unaddressed. It doesn't need to relate specifically to this issue; I'm just really lost on how to effectively help people understand my viewpoints, to implement anything. -I've had no luck in this field for several years, so I've become quite depressed about it.

::I'm not sure what to tell you really.  I 'spose I can try to offer you some general advice, though I'm honestly not sure how applicable any of this is to you having only read a mere handful of your posts.  First off, do your utmost to disallow yourself from becoming emotionally invested in the argument at hand; once you stop being detached, you generally stop employing rational arguments and things have a way of getting out of hand very, very quickly.  Second off (and this is really a corollary to the first point) you might wanna learn how to (or hone your ability to) construct what you might call a "logical argument;" in my experience, the people able to "get things done" tend to be the same people who use such arguments.  It seems self-evident, I know, but it never ceases to amaze me how many people are utterly incapable of crafting sound arguments.  The key to any logical argument (aside from avoiding logical fallacies, of course -- ad hominems, appeals to emotion, and red herrings are particularly common, in my experience; see the link on my user page under "References" if you don't know what those are) is to be methodical.  Begin by outlining your premise(s), follow those up with inferences, being sure to demonstrate exactly the manner by which those inferences follow from your premises, and, finally, draw a conclusion.  People can deny your premise, or dispute the validity of your inferences, but it's very difficult to assail a conclusion drawn from such an argument as long as you make it clear how each individual point follows from the last.  When you're addressing a counter-argument, dissect the argument point-by-point, demonstrating why each individual claim is invalid/illogical.  This is the kind of thing that really only comes with experience, but the ability to create a valid argument is damn near priceless.  Third off, try to refrain from employing the same argument time and time again/re-visiting points when it's clear that the argument has run its course/that you've reached an impasse that you're unlikely to resolve.  Of course, it doesn't hurt to be well-written, either, but these are really the only things I can think to tell you.     
::As to CHawk, I'm afraid I can't really help you.  Fact is that I agree with CHawk that a) when it comes to serious, competitive play, "cheap" is, at best, irrelevant, and b) that the sentence that you described on his talk page doesn't belong on the page for the glitch, even if I agree with you, in the abstract sense, at least, that the glitch is unfair.  Frankly, I think you're unlikely to gain much if any ground in that argument, not only because I think he's right, but also because I don't think that it's a point that either of you are willing to concede/you're both convinced that you're right, besides which, CHawk is, to be perfectly honest, better at this kinda thing (arguing, I mean).  Please note, I'm not trying to dissuade you from arguing with him on this issue or any other issue that you feel strongly about -- in fact, I would encourage you to argue issues about which you feel strongly -- I'm merely explaining why I can't help much.   
::Sorry I couldn't be of more help :/ (and I apologize in advance for any poor grammar, etc., it's 1:30 am and I'm rather tired).  Oh, and if you ever wanna Brawl me, leave a note on my talk page when it looks like I'm online and we'll see about Brawling.  &ndash; [[User:Defiant Elements|<font color="black">Defiant Elements</font>]] [[user talk:Defiant Elements|<font color=black><small>''+talk''</small></font>]] 06:26, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for your input; I'll try to do the best I can.
I have to say that my biggest problem with conversation is that people seem utterly unwilling to even acknowledge the things I say; no matter how clearly I state them (or ask them to directly), or how many different ways I put them, or different arguments I try. They just stick to their guns; coming up with point after point.
 
I try to address as many as possible, but this will (inevitably) grow out of control and off focus.
I try to argue the way I want to be argued against: fair, kind, considerate. I also try any number of tactics to argue ''their'' way, in order to find a place that they understand. I try and try and try. I listen to the things they say and I tell them directly whether or not I agree with them, and why (with examples); but nothing ever gets through. I don't know why.
 
I really and truly am completely willing to be proven wrong, to change my opinion, and relent. All I want is what's best, whether I was "right or wrong". I want to see things from their view; but I just can seem to get people to see things from anything but their own, no matter what.
