Vandals

Please list the names/IP's of potential vandals here. Also, if possible, tell me the page(s) they vandalized so that I can verify the claim and assess the damage. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 02:20, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Perma-ban this IP. His last ban ended today and he just started up again. Miles (talk - contribs) 23:14, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Aw man, it's the same guy? Man, he's probably the guy I called a fr... Sorry, BNK got banned because of that. Anyway, I agree with Miles, we kept reverting this guy's edits while you guys were in school/college (last month or earlier). Ban him. MarioGalaxy {talk} 23:18, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

[1] is vandal. --Shadowcrest 01:22, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Seriously, ban him. Please. He's been nothing but trouble for the past hour or so. Cheezperson {talk}stuff 01:23, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Can u ban this annoying IP? Special:Contributions/162.83.114.18 Thanks. Masterman What's the matter? Scared?

This person is a vandal account. Please ban it for life. Cheezperson {talk}stuff 02:36, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

151.199.137.92 is a vandal account. Ban him. IT'S A METEORITE!^{If you weren't crushed} 10:58, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Congrats

5 archives. Wow. By the way, JtM put a Cleanup Tag on our article, saying there was way too much stuff. Shade cleaned it up for us, removing a lot of the stuff. Now that it's cleaned up, can I remove the tag? MarioGalaxy {talk} 23:03, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

It would be a lot of work, but...

...should we make a separate stub template for each universe? Right now we have two, Stub and Smasher-stub. Should this happen, or is it not worth the trouble? Miles (talk - contribs) 23:18, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

I think we should be able to say what info needs to added to the stub, kinda like how cleanup works. It would good for clarification if nothing else. Cheezperson {talk}stuff 23:21, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Seems like a good idea to me. MarioGalaxy {talk} 23:22, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Not what I meant originally. I like your idea in theory, but that's the difference between cleanup and stub: Cleanup targets one or two problems, but stub means the whole thing is too short. It would just clutter it up. Miles (talk - contribs) 23:31, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

No and no. I don't have time to explain now, but I'll get to it later. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 01:18, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Not to seem like I'm bothering you, but I'm interested to find out what you'd think about the tentative project I'm designing. I thought it might even be possible to reword it and make it a policy, but in either case I know it still needs work. Thoughts? Also, could you please comment on my RfA? Thanks. Miles (talk - contribs) 02:46, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

CH, an anonymous source told me that you banned BNK for "multiple accounts, insults off of wiki". that is a false statement. and, you can't ban anyone for insults off the wiki! i've seen BNK level insults, but the ones the sockpuppets used are NOT him. Xtrme Talk 2 X Wut X is doing 18:19, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Special:Log/block is an anonymous source? Oh, my mistake. It doesn't say that anywhere in the block log.

Oh, wait. --Sky (t · c · w) 18:49, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

I guess Cheez got banned too

User Talk:Cheezperson#UNBLOCK ME!!!.

My Tier Lists!

I didn't copy the tier lists! Those were my own! Take a look at them before you delete a page! --Riko (talk) 21:52, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

About BNK

Could you maybe remove BNK's ban? Or at least reduce it. I know you probably won't want to, but hear me out: BNK's not that bad of a guy. You see, I talk with him every day on my Proboards, and he's very friendly once you get to know him. Sure, he may lash out at his enemies, but we all have our faults. It's all a part of human nature. The man is a Christian, and a very good friend (hope that didn't religiously offend you). I'll try and make him a better person in preparation for his return. I promise you, he will be a better person by the time you get this message. Please take this request into consideration, as he is a very good contributor to the wiki. Thank you. - GalaxiaD ^Talk 00:39, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Basically all of your arguments don't matter or are outweighed, honestly :/

Though 3 months is a long time. --Shadowcrest 00:53, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Three months would be a long time if this wasn't the fourth time he has been banned for these same things. This time, he went so far as to not only use the wiki, but also find users outside of wikia to continue harassing them. I can't stop him from being an idiot, but I can stop him from doing it here. Him being you friend is wholly irrelevant. He is disruptive to this wiki and its users. I also don't care if this is "just who he is." I agree with that statement; that's why I blocked him. Next, his religion is completely irrelevant here. What is relevant is his behaviour. I don't care what faith he belongs to (if any) or how he practices it. All I care about is the fact that all he does on this wiki is cause strife. This is one of the very few places in the world where you are judged solely on your actions. Users have no way of knowing personal information about you unless you choose to divulge it. All we have to go on is what and how the person has contributed. In the case of BNK, I made a ruling on this irrespective of personal information. He is blocked for the next three months. If, upon his return, he continues this behaviour, he will be blocked forever. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 03:31, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Thank you!

Thanks for signing up for our tournament on AiB. Will both of you be participating or just one of you? Shade (talk) 00:25, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

About YouTube videos

You are invited to comment on the proposition that was posted to my talk page at JoePlay's talk page. My response is already posted there. Silver and Erik have also been contacted. --Sky (t · c · w) 02:18, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

The block

First of all, thanks for shortening BNK's block, although I still doubt he deserved it at all.

Second, in case you missed it, I was blocked a third time in relation to BNK's block. I will lose a ton of faith in the administration here if it happens if fourth time. I'm usually a cheerful guy (the arguments are just 4 fun), but my "blocks" are making me think. We (BNK and I) live on opposite ends of the USA, so I shouldn't even be affected at all. He's been blocked before, and I've never been affected by them. If I'm going to regain trust in the administration, I'd like to know why I keep getting blocked. Cheezperson {talk}stuff 06:30, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

I don't know why you keep getting blocked. It's not something I have control over in most cases. When a user is blocked, the script is set up to hit the IPs used by that user. If what you are saying is true, I can't understand why you are being auto-blocked by his blocks. The only explanations I have is that one of your computers is a zombie of the other, or one of you is on a variable IP address. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 06:52, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

I only use one computer, and it's stationary, so that can't be it. I probably shouldn't be mad at you, as human mistakes happen, and all of us (even those who claim to be experts) are still learning. Cheezperson {talk}stuff 07:08, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

The only thing they can do to avoid it is not use auto-block, and I know quite well how hard changing an entire community is. Your anger is completely misplaced, and it doesn't even seem you know why you were blocked before flaming C.Hawk :/ --Shadowcrest 15:18, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

In case you haven't heard about it, BNK was blocked again, and for some reason, my P address is affected by it. I did nothing wrong, and all of the users know that. I wasn't flaming, you'd be a little angry too if you keep getting blocked for another guy's block because of IP address stuff. Last of all, please mind your own business. Cheezperson {talk}stuff 23:23, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Cheezperson, don't bring the last part up as a reason. Shadowcrest will eventually say something like, "it's a wiki, and a user is obligated to join in on a conversation in order to solve problems on the wiki". That's just a generalization of what Shadowcrest thinks and says. MarioGalaxy {talk} 23:25, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Firstly, I don't need the "I did nothing wrong, you'd be frustrated too" etc., because I am well aware Blue Ninjakoopa was blocked again, having commented on the shortening of his ban; I well aware of how auto-block works, having used it regularly; and I already expressed my empathy to you, not my sympathy. Which means that I know what's happening because it's happened to me. User_talk:Shadowcrest#auto-block for reference. Don't pretend that I'm an idiot without a clue, please.

Now I'm pretty much convinced neither of you get wikis at all. Yes, MarioGalaxy, I would have said something like that (although obligated wasn't the right word, able is more accurate). Why? Because it's the basic principle of wikis, which neither of you seem to understand. I will say for the third time: Wikis exist so that everyone can contribute to virtually everything. Also for the third time: If you want me to stay out of "your business", take it off wiki. By the very nature of the fact that you posted it on a wiki, it is not "your business", but I'm too lazy to argue the point atm.

Additionally Cheez, the fact that you are ignoring your own advice to me is quite lulz. You are accusing C.Hawk of targetting you with a ban, which is nowhere close to the truth, and then say you will lose trust in him if it happens again, despite there being no evidence he is targetting you and despite your incorrect belief. I suggest you assume good faith in other users more often. --Shadowcrest 00:35, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

I'm not saying CH targeted me for a ban (I'm pretty sure he didn't), I was just wondering if he knew why it was targeting me even after I as unblocked twice. I don't know how it would work.

Also, just because you can do something doesn't mean you should do it. For the past week or so, after most of everything I've posted here, you jump in and make unnecessary and snide remarks. I will take my own advice and assume good faith, and therefore consider out loud that you are doing what you are doing out of good faith, but don't think for a second that I appreciate it. I'm sorry for sounding derogatory (and pointing out the obvious), but you're acting like a wannabe sysop. If you want to become one, request for it, and accept the (helpful) criticism people give you! Now don't say that I don't accept criticism, because the reason why I question criticizers is because I like to know why the feel the way they do, and how I can better myself.

My question to you is why you feel the way you do about non-sysops. I will not accept "I treat sysops and regular users the same way as an answer," as I know that isn't true. Cheezperson {talk}stuff 01:16, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

You do know I was telling Cheez to not bring up that last reason, right? I told him you'd say something like that because you would. I don't really care if I don't understand, you can go ahead and join a conversation, it doesn't mean anything to me. Sure, it's the principle, but that's not my point. All I'm saying is Cheez shouldn't bring up that last part. Go ahead and talk to him and C. Hawk, it doesn't bother me. MarioGalaxy {talk} 01:00, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
