User talk:Dirael

Smash Wiki stuff
I'm putting this here so I can respond to your posts (hopefully) without getting extraneous comments from other users. If after we've discussed it you would like to move it that is fine. Anyway, the point about the rollback before sysop was an idea based on Semicolon's RfA proposal whereby a current sysop or bureaucrat would need to approve the nomination before allowing the user the ability to run for sysop. This is only necessary due to the ridiculous number of pointless RfA's that popped up last June. This was why Randall eventually shut the whole thing down. You know my feelings on this, so I won't go into them further here. To prevent the useless number of RfA's that would pop up, I thought that there needed to be some kind of mechanism to prevent that. I wasn't foreseeing there being the same speech/vote process that there was for RfA in RfR's. I'll see what I can do about ironing out the process. Also, the reason that I feel that seeing what people do with the rollback status will show somethings about how s/he will act as a sysop. If the person uses the rollback powers as a way of making an edit war easier and try to say that they can do that as a rollback, it's a good sign that if s/he is made a sysop s/he will misuse the tools. Also, I had hoped that there would be more discussion before we just up and did the RfRs. I did the RfB as directly told to by Kirby King, and modeled it off the RfAs. KP just up and made the RfRs without consulting anyone simply because he wanted it. As for your question about someone becoming a bureau without becoming a sysop, I don't see the reason that someone, in an established wiki such as ours, should be simultaneously given adminship and the ability to confer said adminship in one feel swoop. It's really a minor point, and I mostly did it for the sake of consistency with what the established ideas on the wiki are. If the community wants it changed, that's fine. I hope this answered most of your questions. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 03:06, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, the part about using it to stem the pointless RfA's make sense (enough for me to not WoT, anyway :P ). But it brings up an important point. There are quite a few users on SmashWiki that I would not ever trust to be an administrator (Oxico, KPerfekt are the ones on the rollback page atm) but I would fully trust with rollback rights. Therefore: Are you giving rollback only to people who could possibly be considered for sysop, or are you using it as a reverting tool? Because I don't really see how it could be used for both; users like KPerf who likely not ever get sysophood can make as many pointless RfA's as he wants, because he could be trusted with rollback.
 * I still don't get how rollback shows the whole trust thingy. If they abuse rollback, they could have just as easily abused the undo button; if they don't abuse the undo button, what's the point of wasting the time to see whether or not they abuse rollback? :/ (This assumes that rollback is used as anti-vandalism and not sysop req.)
 * I was under the impression that you were going to be the one making the RfR page, which is why I let the subject die out; I was waiting until you made the page before I criticized it too much :P
 * I agree that admin -> bureau is a minor point, even if I disagree with what it is. It's unlikely enough that a candidate that would be considered for both at the same time that I don't feel compelled to make a novel over it. If I'm going to pick my battles, this wouldn't be one of them. --Shadowcrest  21:21, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Alright, I see your points here. The rollback before sysop was just an idea I had and threw out.  It hadn't even been discussed before KP (now rightfully blocked) up and did it.  As for the sysop before bureau, the reason I have that as a limit is that if someone who shouldn't be a sysop was made a bureau they could just up and make themselves a sysop.  As for the current RfAs and RfRs, I'm trying to get to them in time.  This week is pretty open for me so I should be able to get to a lot of it (hint: expect a new tool to fall into your lap).  I'll try to clean up the RfAs.  The RfBs probably aren't going to be of importance, as Sky and Fyre have shown no interest (and even some disinterest) and Randall and Charitwo have failed.  Any input you have on the RfA's would be great.  Also, don't use the e-mail me feature.  It goes to a phantom account of mine.  I almost never check it.  If you need to contact me, get my full name (be creative, you'll find it) and use the format "first-last@uiowa.edu" and you'll be able to reach me.

 * I didn't fail, it was pretty much an involuntary withdrawal because of IRL issues (women and all). But I would have liked to have put more effort into it if I was able to. I just wanted someone to get the position, and it seems you were the perfect person to fill the shoes. --Charitwo (talk) 03:13, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Short version
* are Clarinet Hawk's points, ** are rebuttals, etc.
 * Implement rollback as a sysop requirement in order to reduce the # of RfA's from users that aren't qualified for anything more than a revert tool.
 * If rollback is only granted to candidates that could potentially be sysops, the # of poor RfA's stays low but users that can benefit from rollback (the revert tool) but should not have sysophood don't get rollback.
 * If rollback is granted to all users won't abuse it as a RV tool, combating vandalism is easier for a lot of people but the # of unqualified RfA's will be back at it's previous standard.
 * The process for rollback should not be an all-out RfA style nomination.
 * Rollback makes for a good "test period" to make sure users w/ rollback won't abuse sysop tools.
 * Users that abuse rollback could have abused reverts just as easily with the undo button, so denying rollback is nothing special.
 * Users that don't abuse the undo button will in all likelyhood not abuse rollback, thus wasting the trial time.
 * Adminship should be a requirement for bureaucratship.
 * Their jobs are too different to make one a pre-requisite for the other.

Extraneous comment
Using RfR this way is an oblique way to adress a problem that'd better be solved directly one way or another (or that's sized up wrong). --◄mendel► 06:21, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Does Bureaucrat at Smashwiki somehow not have access to sysop tools? That seems extraordinarily unlikely. You cannot say a bureaucrat's role is different from that of a sysop when a bureaucrat is ALSO a sysop. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 06:23, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
 * All current bureaucrats are sysops, but theoretically it is possible to be one and not the other. See [here]. --◄mendel► 06:45, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
 * That's a kind of weak bureaucrat status... unaffected by rate limits. Neat. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 06:49, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

 * No CoF like and such as, I've had enough of this staying up late crap. I'm in college after all, I need to turn my life around and like, focus on school. >.> First step for that is to stop waking up past noon and thus missing my morning (and some afternoon) classes. Second part is to do some homework instead of always logging on GW and/or IRC (but Wiki is okay - that's my job after all). Thirdly is starting homework before the very last hours before it's due. I did that for my term paper and it was a piece of crap tbh.
 * So yeah, we'll CoF eventually, but only when I have some real free time. Sorry. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 20:23, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

 * I can do CoF with a hero if I need the money that bad, I really only ask because you need ectos/money :p --Shadowcrest  20:28, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I need ectos, not money. I mean, you can buy ecto for 5k or such, but I prefer to earn them, or buy them at discount price from generous players. It feels like a waste to pay for full price ecto. Oh and in any case, zkey ~= ecto, so I'll have them by this weekend at any rate. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 20:37, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
 * It'd save time to just get the money via CoF and just buy them, especially considering our terribad ecto drop rates :p --Shadowcrest  20:40, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

don't ban yourself just because you want to take a break
It just unnecessarily adds entries to the RC, AND add more when you actually want to do something. When you wanna go on a break, just be on a break. -User:PanSola (talk to the ) 03:19, 18 November 2008 (UTC)


 * So we don't do "user request" bans any more? --◄mendel► 07:48, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
 * It wasn't a "user request", though, not initially. Salad only said that over IRC and he was being stubborn. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 09:04, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Addendum: There's no need to "crucify" yourself for teh posts that you made, coz you weren't posting from the best of mindframes (frustration etc.), you were not being intentionally malicious, no lasting harm was done, etc. and I think you are being too hard on yourself for making pretty human mistakes. So basically, this block doesn't do any good for anyone, is my opinion. Besides, beating oneself up is my job :) [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 11:58, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

 * ...we did user request bans?
 * For the record, I wasn't just taking a break, and I wasn't just /rage'ing either. Those were part of it, but certainly not the entire part. I was angry at myself for getting angry on wiki, and I'm srsly tired of being an ass, yet it keeps happening.
 * ...and without the ban, I would have been back in a couple hours, so :p --Shadowcrest  21:26, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Before you post any replies on Wiki, I'd rather you discuss stuff on IRC first. (IRC != Wiki but it will avoid unnecessary confusion/spam.) (T/C) 05:02, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Reverse Psychology
Why don't you tell me what you envy about me? Or if envy isn't the right word, why you look up to me? What do you find about me that is desirable? What do you seek to emulate? Why am I a role model to you? (I heard that you said Auron is your role model, but that is incorrect, because you were clearly referring to me.) I think that by thinking along such lines, perhaps you will find the answers to the question were inside you all along, of why I'm popular and such.

If you don't want to discuss it here (public wiki is public) then use IRC or something. (T/C) 08:25, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

FF sure makes things look ugly compared to IE imho, especially on this site (although I know some of it is because my .css is designed for IE).

Looks alright, but you might want to increase the font size a bit, as you have a fair bit of white...er...pinkspace left over. I also like to turn italics on, and sometimes bold, to make it look a bit more special. (T/C) 03:22, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

You have literally judged a book by its cover. Ultimate fail. 02:56, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
 * If there were actually a chance greater than .0000000001% that it would be worth my time reading, then yes, I would agree. Any books where it is not clear how good/bad they are- unlike this one- should be read before judged. But I don't have to read this to know how terrible it is, unless the title was a joke and the book has nothing to do with religion. The subject alone isn't worth my time- the only reason I would read such a book would be for 1) quick lulz or 2) to raise my blood pressure beyond healthy amounts. So from the start, it's a waste of my time. Then, not only is it a bad subject that probably won't change anyone's mind anyway, it has a title "You can lead an atheist to evidence but you can't make him think." To me, this suggests that the author is another religious zealot- seriously, what evidence can he possibly suggest that has any factual basis- who is again not worth my time. This book reminds me horribly of Conservapedia- there is very little about not only the cover but the title and nature of the book that suggests it is worth the money or time it would take to read it.
 * By the way, there are many more things that are more aptly described as "ultimate fail" than this. -- Shadowcrest  14:21, 15 April 2009 (UTC)


 * /agree with Salad. Reading the review shows that it's simply stupidity, and that the writer can't spell (I mean, "down are throats". WTF?). Although it did give me a good laugh.--[[Image:El Nazgir sig.png|Talkpage]]<font color="Green">El_Nazgir 14:34, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
