GuildWiki:Admin noticeboard/Resolved

Redirecting userpages
Can someone please take a look at this? He says Ron Ng is not the same person as Ron NG. However, capital G's userpage redirects to lowercase g's. Something's going on, either sockpuppetry or capital G is misleading people by redirecting his page to something else. Which I believe is against the rules. If it is I propose that the policy be updated to reflect this. --Macros 22:43, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Fixed, I guess. Thank PanSola. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 02:15, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Phew....--Ron Ng 18:21, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Vandal
IP address 65.96.24.38 keeps adding "Gay Butt Sex" to the Halloween 2007 article. No other contributions. Ban please? -- Kirbman 04:24, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Dealt with. Thank PanSola. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 22:23, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Ads
There's several ads for www.thecandyman.org peddling gold selling and powerleveling appearing on the site. Please stop. Reithan 23:00, 11 October 2007 (UTC)


 * As of today, Wikia is able to block bad ads on this wiki. I've requested thecandycaneman be blocked. If there are any others (eg: gold sellers, power levellers) that you see on this wiki, please let me know on my talk page and I will get them removed as soon as possible. Angela 08:33, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Wouldn't the proper place to notify the management/admins of a problem be the admin noticeboard? Reithan 16:01, 12 October 2007 (UTC)


 * "Admin" refers to the people with power to (un)ban, (un)protect, (un)delete. Admins in general do not have control over the advertisements.  Angela is a Wikia staff, not a GuildWiki admin. -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 21:05, 12 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Perhaps we should create a "Wikia Noticeboard"? Or is Angela their only representative here? 70.43.98.34 21:09, 12 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Actually, Angela's account here doesn't have the staff flag yet. I've created the Wikia staff noticeboard, and notified the three Wikia staff who has accounts here (see Special:Listusers/staff) on their talk page.  Future gold ad reports can either go on the Wikia staff noticeboard, or on any particular staff's talk page. -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 02:08, 30 October 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm just more likely to see it if it's on my talk page since I get instant notification of messages there. I have thousands of pages on my watchlist (like every main page of every wikia created before September 2007) and there sadly isn't enough time to check them all. Blocking ads ought to be done as soon as possible to prevent readers ever seeing them, which is why it would be better for you to contact me directly rather than using the noticeboard for this. Angela 12:39, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Issues
on the mainpage of guild wiki the link to game updates has been redirected to a template : Troll
 * Thanks. it was done by a recent vandal attack. It's been fixed now.--[[Image:Marcopolo47 signature new.jpg]] (Talk) (Contr.) 19:24, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Disagree with banning of 10.10.20.183
Due to Wintersday content, I think we need the contributions of the general anon population without requiring them to log in. The only issue 10.10.20.183 makes is that we aren't able to tell casual one-time vandals from malicious multi-vandals. The malicious ones will probably just create an account anyways if they seriously want to vandalize, so I don't see the benefit of banning 10.10.20.183. -User:PanSola (talk to the ) 23:20, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I will not oppose you if you unban the IP, but I also won't unban it myself. -- [[Image:User Gem sig.png|Gem]] (gem / talk) 23:25, 22 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Fact remains that if, par example, I want to say something to him/her, I can't because the talk page is protected. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG]]-- (s)talkpage 23:29, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
 * If only everyone made an account...--[[Image:Marcopolo47 signature new.jpg]] (Talk) (Contr.) 23:29, 22 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Vipermagi kind of has a point. I'll ponder a little bit more before deciding whether to do the unban. -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 23:33, 22 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Unblocked. In the end I feel we shouldn't penalize anons just because we are unable to talk to them, when the software problem is not their fault. -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 23:40, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Weird. The "New Message" problem doesn't happen for my IP anymore. Mebbe it's fixed?--[[Image:Marcopolo47 signature new.jpg]] (Talk) (Contr.) 23:42, 22 December 2007 (UTC)


 * You sure it isn't because there haven't been more edits? --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG]]-- (s)talkpage 23:43, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I have no idea. I could edit the talk page and see if it does anything, but I'm afraid it will just mess it up more.--[[Image:Marcopolo47 signature new.jpg]] (Talk) (Contr.) 23:44, 22 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I don't know if that would be the smartest thing to do.... --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG]]-- (s)talkpage 23:46, 22 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, let's do a test since we need to amend that protetion template anyway. Ok, I'll edit now. -> -- [[Image:User Gem sig.png|Gem]] (gem / talk) 23:52, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I think the problem's fixed. I logged out and didn't get the "New Message" box, no matter what page I went to.--[[Image:Marcopolo47 signature new.jpg]] (Talk) (Contr.) 23:58, 22 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I logged out too, no message box. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG]]-- (s)talkpage 23:58, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Problem not fixed, but might be less severe (not sure). I still see edits from that IP on RC. -User:PanSola (talk to the ) 00:16, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Let's keep the protection on the IP talk page and let the IP stay unbanned unless it starts mass vandalising. The protection can be undone when we get official word that the problem is solved. -- [[Image:User Gem sig.png|Gem]] (gem / talk) 00:36, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
 * According a Wikia tech person, the issue *should* be fixed for GuildWiki now. However it's hard to test for sure.  We'll see if any more edits come from it. -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 00:53, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Another Gold ad
. In the ad it says gaia online gold, but as with most ads, they also sell GW gold. -- -- talkpage 23:32, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Belongs on the Wikia noticeboard, cuz admins can't filter the ads.--[[Image:Marcopolo47 signature new.jpg]] (Talk) (Contr.) 23:51, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Spam
People keep saying that i'll be banned if i keep spamming, but, other people say they need spam, and on the other side. I'm in the spam crew. so Is there any way to resolve this whole problem with spam and the Spam Crew?--‎ Fire  Tock  05:00, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah. Don't make pointless spam and there's no problem.--[[Image:Marcopolo47 signature new.jpg]] (Talk) (Contr.) 05:07, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Well I didn't expect some kind of Spammish Inquisition --Macros 05:08, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
 * My suggestion is intelligent spamming. You can spew out enormous amounts of text that actually convey a meaning or purpose fairly easy and with no thought or effort; for a few hundred examples, check my contributions. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 05:09, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

An unusual ad
The Lost Haven

This was a google-placed ad on the bottom of my page. We don't allow guild pages and guild endorsements on GuildWiki; should this ad be mentioned on the Wikia noticeboard? 06:31, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Looks more like a guide site to me, no probs as we are better. RT </B>| <font color="Black">Talk</B>  06:34, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Well the exact text of the ad was "Join a good PvE GW guild" or something like that. It's a guild site, I looked through it a bit. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 06:35, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Saw it again, screenshotted it. [[Image:Losthavenguildad.png]]


 * [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 06:38, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Okey doke. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 06:41, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Image Restore
Would it be possible if we could get this fixed?
 * No point IMO --Gimmethegepgun 23:06, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Resolved. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 21:43, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

New template
I made a template for the game updates page that we could use to compress the entire page onto a single template use. Was wondering if we should implement it, and if we do I think the template should be protected to prevent vandalism. Making it would make it easier to add things to it and also deal with vandalism to some extent --Gimmethegepgun 23:06, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Neutral on whether to use it. The amount of easiness to add things to it is also the amount it becomes easier to mass-vandalize.  I do agree that *if* we use it, it should be protected.  Finally, I feel it should be split into two separate templates, one that auto-generates the bar on the right, the other deals with the content area.  Again, neutral on whether to use it/them. -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 23:26, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Compressing the whole thing onto a very short amount also makes it so that people can't screw with the formatting with all the boxes and stuff and make it takes 10 minutes to load the page and fix it, such as when someone went and vandalized it and the server wouldn't show the changes in either the editbox OR the page itself for nearly 20 minutes before I went and reverted it, though that might have been cause he murdered the Job Queue --Gimmethegepgun 23:30, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Doesn't really matter. The vandal only need to change one single byte of data (using your template system) to mess with the entire page.  The more template and transclusions you use, the worse it is for the jobqueue (in this case you are really just calling one extra transclusion, plus five dozen parser functions, so the jobqueue issue only get worse by maybe 1%).  I'm still neutral, just pointing out how this doesn't help with malicious vandals or accidental ppl who don't follow instructions. -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 23:51, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I really don't like this idea. Even if we protted against all but registered users, it is easy to make a vandal account. And with the template all nice and clean and easy to use, like Pan says - it would become even easier for a vandal to cause lots of damage with little effort. Remember that most of the game updates come from either anons, obscure users, or the dedicated...so it also would be bad if it had to be sysop-only. Besides, I believe that the Game Updates page is fine as is...it is not an extremely popular target for vandalism and it is still not hard to make changes to it.

Blocked by IP
Well, I seem to be blocked. It says my IP was used by shesonly12 in the recent vandalisings. I assume it was an IP range block so I won't bother saying I didn't do anything as I'm probably just blocked by coincidence, what I'm wondering is how long it'll be for. <font color=#555>Ezekiel <font color=#AAA> [Talk]  12:44, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

 * It's doing something wierd. At first I couldn't edit anything (except my userpage and this one) then I tried to undo the mantid monitor edit and it didn't stop me, I tried editing random pages and it didn't say I was blocked (this is all before you unblocked it). The only page it now says I'm blocked on is when I try to edit my own talk page. <font color=#555>Ezekiel  <font color=#AAA> [Talk]  12:57, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

I don't like the idea of everyone's userpage headers saying "Marcopolo is awesome", "Vipermagi is teh shizzle", " Warwick May" or whatever. That is not the actual pagename, it isn't the real username, and if you're not a wikicode know-how then you will be confused. Argument for: well it is just the userspace, and it's my userpage, can't I do whatever I want with it? Okay, but that is only true to some extent. For the same reason we no longer allow fake message boxes (that was precedent even before the Pos=Abs stuff), stuff that is confusing, misleading, fake, etc. about your identity can't go on your userpage. For example, we also disallowed redirecting your userpage to a random page, or even to a mainspace article in general. Having no userpage (redlink) is better than one that confuses new users. The point of a userpage is to have a small piece of the Wiki to yourself where you can tool around with code, show off your characters, etc. But it is also for educating people about you, and is the first point where one goes if they would like to contact you. (Some people click User and then the "discussion" tab because they don't know to go straight to User talk:X).

Basically. I don't care if you make your header in some cool new font, or bolded, or colored, or whatever. But the same as with the signature policy, it must reflect your actual username, easily enough that a newcomer could tell it is you. Does that sound reasonable? (T/C) 20:54, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

I should have replied to this sooner but... I disagree entirely. You shouldn't be allowed to change the title text on your userpage in any way. We switched the title text to a serif to make it easier to distinguish between a true user who is mimicking them with a similar user name. The difference couldn't be seen in the address bar so it could only be seen there. If people canc hange that text all willy nilly it defeats the whole purpose. Additionally, if you arrive at the page via a redirect (from a user's signature image for example) the correct page name will not appear in the address bar. Instead the address of the page you were redirected from appears. If the user's proper name is not displayed in the title text then it makes it that much harder to determine who they are. So signatures don't have to reflect an actual user name and now neither do their user pages? How in the world do we know who is who if all these things don't actually say the correct user name? People get to chose a username when they sign up. If you don't like it, get a new username and contribute from there. Don't go changing everything around to obscure your identity. Its needlessly confusing. &mdash;<font color=#ff44aa>♥ Jedi ♥ Rogue ♥ 20:02, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Umm, Jedi, I think that that would be agreeing with what is posted here, not disagreeing... unless I'm misunderstanding something...--[[Image:Marcopolo47 signature new.jpg]] (Talk) (Contr.) 20:15, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Not quite. What you guys seem to be talking about is applying our signature policy to the user pages. Personally, I don't even like when people's sigs don't match their usernames because it makes it harder for me to identify people that are new (old users I'm familiar with). Because we already accepted them, it would be inappropriate to change the policy now in that light. The difference is that I'm saying that you shouldn't be able to change your header at all versus you can change the font or change it so that its not your exact username so long as it reflect your username. The difference is that based on what Entropy said, you changing your header to MP47 would still be okay because its short for Marcopolo47 and what I'm saying is that you have to keep it Marcopolo47 and no messing with the fonts or colors or whatever. &mdash;<font color=#ff44aa>♥ Jedi ♥ Rogue ♥ 21:00, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
 * How about a sort of compromise? Eg if you have the user you are "Pretending" to be registered, then its okay to have it? (I mean you own the account). Or, you can add things onto it. EG for me User:Warwick aka May & Maywick? &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png]] Warw/Wick 21:03, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Part of the problem is that you are changing something that is technically outside the content of the page. It's changing the skin around the content. When I look at that part of the page, I want to see the actual page name. If you want to make a separate announcement that you can't pick a username, then put it below that "Hi, I'm User:Warwick but everyone calls me May" or whatever. But thats where teh title of the page shows up and you shouldn't be playing with it. &mdash;<font color=#ff44aa>♥ Jedi ♥ Rogue ♥ 21:06, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Jedi Rogue raises a good point.

 * I fully agree with Jedi on this issue; you shouldn't be using css hax to change page titles at all. It's messy, unnecessary, and confusing. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 22:31, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I forgot completely about the serif addition thing. Thanks for reminding me, Jedi...although I think merely color change would do no harm, still. Since you can't encode that into a username. (Or can you?) [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 05:17, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

 * I know I'm a few days late to this discussion, but in the event that you do indeed decide to allow it to some extent, mediawiki does have a function that allows you to change headers without them interfering with sitenotices or the redirect links or anything. It's disabled by default (or it's an extension or something, I'm not sure), but it's possible to put at the top of the page. However, things like that are pretty confusing to new users. And ripe for abuse. <font color="#CD2626">&not; Wizårdbõÿ777   (talk)  20:26, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Displayname only works on "equivalent" names. Meaning if you copy-paste it into double-brackets, it'll produce a blue link going to the actual page.  For example, iPod, IPod, :IPod,  IPod (extra space in the front) will all link to the same location, so you can use DISPLAYNAME to change between any of them.  But you can't change it to something that would produce a different link result. -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 20:37, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Making moves autoconfirmed only

Inappropriate Discussion

User:Warwick
Having just had an IM conversation with Warwick, wanting to be unblocked. Her reasons were: "His[auron's] reasoning was "Harassment/Threatening Behaviour". I didn't threaten him once. He threatened me for no particular reason, and his idea of "Harassment" is somthing that I call "Continuing a discussion". [Auron is a] Stupid tempermental, Self-centered, idiotic, immature childish brat."

 * I have a few things to say, so I'll use bullets.


 * You shouldn't have repealed the ban, Warwick deserved a longer one imo.
 * Although Auron's ban summary wasn't particularly enlightening, I followed the entire debate from start to finish and I agree with his reasoning.
 * Several times Warwick has told me that her brother still has access to the account, and then later told me she was only joking. It's become impossible to trust her at all.
 * The idea of Warwick's having 13 accounts fills me with rage and disgust. Sockpuppets in and of themselves are harmless, but she used one to get around a legitimate ban, which is also a bannable offense. Is there any way to run an IP check? [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 21:03, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Sockpuppets? Nah, only shoepuppets. Most of them are redirects to my page. I've also got 2 accounts I previously contributed to but decided to stop. And No, I don't really have 13. At most 4. May, Maywick, Warwick =D and... nope, thats all of them. &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png|Hello]] Warw/Wick 21:08, 13 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Warwick's/James'/May's flat out self-contradictions confuse and slightly disturb me, first of all.
 * IP check- I don't know if we can or not. I think Auron once told me that it was possible, but I don't know now.
 * Imo, James/May/whoever they are need to create separate accounts, stop using User:Warwick, contribute only from their own accounts, and get on with their lives. As for losing contributions- I personally don't see why it's important since you don't know who contributed when/to what.

This is BS. Thank you for posting the log, RT; it only helps to assure me that Auron and I are justified in what we say. (T/C) 18:36, 13 April 2008 (EDT)
 * If it helps at all, here's what Warwick signed off with after harassing me on MSN for about half an hour:
 * May said:
 * Anyway, I'd love to stay and chat, but I've got some sleeping to do.
 * Felix Omni said:
 * You have some thinking to do as well.
 * May said:
 * Goodnight. And I think that it may have been your Sysoping that's made your ego increase a lot. I discussed it with Zulu. Its pretty funny just how good a thinker he actually is. I have no thinking I need to do, as I can flash a response up in seconds. Goodnight.


 * So apparently Zulu is a large part of this problem as well. As shown from his talk page, he likes causing trouble and conflict. At this point, I'd like to call for an additional ban for Warwick, for a) circumventing a ban, b) flaming Auron as an anon while banned, c) harassing admins on the wiki, in-game, and through whatever courses she can find, and d) "general asshattery." [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 22:45, 13 April 2008 (UTC)


 * In my opinion, that would not help the situation at all. It would make May and Zulu angry, and it would not solve the larger problem. Circumventing a ban is bad. But so was Auron's justification (what he chose to explain anyways). Harassing Auron and you is bad. But you both can't be held blameless, since if I was in May's position (regardless of who is ultimately responsible) I would be in an angry and trolling mood too.
 * In fact, I would prefer if everyone who has been involved - you, Auron, and yes, me - recuse themselves and refrain from taking administrative action. None of us is sufficiently impartial to the issue to make an informed decision and I think we owe Warwick at least a fair chance to defend herself without getting blocked. If one of the other admins feels a ban is warranted, so be it. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 22:59, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Probably should have a few of us think about it, rather than just one. I volunteer for it, but I'd prefer if I wasn't the only one --Gimmethegepgun 19:02, 13 April 2008 (EDT)
 * While I do not agree with May's actions. I am appalled at RT atm for posting a private converstaion on this wiki.  I know there is no rules against it; but it just makes me appalled when a private converstation is exploited; whether or not it was ment to help get her unblocked or not, I find it wrong. (forgive me being utterly off topic but I felt as if I had to say something).  -- Shadowphoenix  23:15, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry for editing your post, but to me it looked like you said "applaud" instead of "appalled," which are two very different things. --Macros 23:17, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Right at the end, RT says that he will post the log on the wiki, and May doesn't object --Gimmethegepgun 23:20, 13 April 2008 (UTC)


 * If required, I can go through the case and punish anyone who I think deserves it. ;) After a quick glance I'd say that Wawicks/Mays/whoevers ban was warranted and even though Aurons ban note wasn't the best, who cares? Most ban notes are crappy, and it's not surprising, there are better things to do than form elaborate ban notes. -- [[Image:User Gem sig.png|Gem]] (gem / talk) 19:18, 13 April 2008 (EDT)
 * I think the problem, though, is that Warwick is not interested in defending herself because she believes she has done nothing wrong. I will admit that I'm not exactly impartial- I'm particularly angry with Warwick because I gave her chance after chance to redeem herself and she disappointed me every time. That's why I opened my proposal to the floor, so to speak, instead of exercising Captain's Prerogative and banning her outright. Plus it would be my first ban.


 * I don't want to take this outside of the wiki, but I do have some understanding of how Warwick thinks, unless she was lying about having Asperger's Syndrome. A normal person in her situation would act conciliatory to end the conflict as soon as possible, before heavier consequences were incurred. Warwick, however, believes that if she continues to make a fuss and stir things up with her righteous indignation, eventually a higher power will intervene and make things right by her book. Unfortunately, there is no higher power here, unless she were to appeal to Wikia, which of course would be futile because they don't care.

 * It was an unwise (stupid) move from Warwick to start a GuildWiki2 without consulting others and against the wishes of the GuildWiki community. This however does not have anything to do with the policies of this wiki and does not warrant a ban. People may dislike him for this, nothing more. In the discussions about the new wiki she has also shown that she does not properly understand licening and has stated that she is not good with policy related things, so keeping the bureaucrat position on GuildWiki2 instead of offering them to more suitable users shows a certain lack of understanding, or the need to feel important.
 * In the original discussion Warwick remained calm and proper, just like a user should, even though the discussion wasn't very pleasant for her.
 * When the discussion continued, Warwick started to surpress the discussion. Even though a user has almost total control over his/her talk page, it is bad etiquette to try to stop people from discussing. Your user talk page is the correct place to discuss things related to you, so you shouldn't try to stop that discussion.
 * Warwick also started acting aggressively as the discussion progressed, and so did some other contributors.
 * Warwicks ban by Auron was justified by the actions of Warwick in surpressing discussion and acting aggressively. (Note: I am not taking a stance on the behavior of other users. There might or might not be other users who would deserve a ban.)
 * Randomtimes shortening of the ban was not good etiquette. When a sysop disagrees with a block, please discuss it, don't remove or shorten it. Since no discussion has been held and I also partially agree with the original block, I will place the ban on Warwick again until proper discussion is over or the time has been fully served.
 * I'm not fond of Aurons way of presenting his opinnion. He says what he thinks, but more often than not his thoughts reflect the thoughts of many other contributors, who present their thoughts in a more diplomatic manner. This straight and direct attitude might be hard for some people to understand, but I think it works well for him. Most contributors seem to think like I do, and they also seem to realise that Auron really is very helpful for the wiki. There haven't been serious requests for removing his sysop priviliges or placing a ban, and I do not see a reason to do either.
 * Why ban Warwick again? What's done is done. Retroactive punishment is stupid. --Macros 22:44, 13 April 2008 (EDT)
 * Well, if a reason is necessary, she DID circumvent her ban through a sock/shoe/WHATEVER puppet --Gimmethegepgun 02:46, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
 * True --Macros 02:47, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
 * All punishment blocks are always "retroactive" in the meaning that you use the word. You can never punish someone before he actually does something, and in some cases it takes the sysops time to decide wether a ban was warranted or not. The reinstated ban shoudl serve as a reminder to both Wariwck and the sysop team on proper etiquette.
 * edit conflict: yeah, I forgot ban circumveiton in the above list. -- [[Image:User Gem sig.png|Gem]] (gem / talk) 02:47, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

This discussion is getting out of hand. You all need to take a few days to calm down, and then come back to it with a clear head and open mind, or get someone else to handle it entirely.

 * I just had a short, unpleasant conversation with Warwick in which she insulted GuildWiki people and vowed never to return. She also implicated Zulu again. Here's a concise version:
 * You people from GuildWiki are rather ignorant, arn't you?... The admin base is pretty much stupid ... Me and Zulu say that you're all a bunch of idiotic children on msn, but thats not what we say on GuildWiki. Regardless, I'm leaving GuildWiki because the whole lot of you are a bunch of dumbasses. Goodbye. <Warwick blocks me>

 * Not really all of you Zulu Inuoe 04:45, 14 April 2008 (EDT)

I'd like to pseudo-ban everyone who has taken part in any related conversation from all talk-pages for 72 hours. Think of it as a unilateral chill-pill. This is a pseudo-Administrative Decision. There are some actions that aren't good, but the reactions to some of the actions had been also getting quite provacational to the point where some are very much troll-feeding.

As a clarification, I am not prohibiting anyone from discussing stuff, but please, try to state your thoughts in a way that works towards understanding and agreement, as opposed to shouting the other person down with the side-effect of getting the other guy to troll and be banned. I will hand out bans for behavior that I consider as troll-feeding. And for the next few days I might choose to err on the strict side instead of being lenient. So just to be safe, you might want to even avoid feeding the troll-feeders. -User:PanSola (talk to the ) 09:29, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Descriptions
Just how much is too much? As some of you would have obviously noticed, I've been going through and giving some descriptions to some EotN creatures that were missing out. As you would also notice, I tend to get some creative with them, sometimes being either somewhat sensationalised or slightly humourous. A recent one I did [|here] is an example of both. Powersurge deemed it too much and removed the 'funny' part. If you want to see more examples of my descriptions then basically look at all the EotN Stone Summit, Undead, Modniir and some others to see what I've done.

Now my point isn't to disagree because this wiki in general tries to be strict, straight and serious in their articles which I've repsected. However after vising another wiki, namely this | Transformers Wiki and seeing how they basicaly encourage humour in all of their articles, I was thinking why couldn't we have something to liven this place up? Look at this article and tell me that you didn't at least chuckle once (I know I lol'ed quite a lot reading that).

So really, is it alright to add some humour like what I did for the Restless Dead page or is that too much? If it is too much, I would like to know why? After all, some humour isn't that bad is it? Blue.rellik 04:41, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Some humor is fine, yes, but too much is annoying and detracts from the factual basis of the wiki.

I feel the same way about this as I do about the changing of the title of your userpage. You can do whatever you want in the content section of the page.

 * I believe if you make the margins the correct size, you can keep the floating box out of the way of the headers and tabs. I don't think it can do harm there. But if you need to scroll up and down just to reach basic parts of the page (tabs, menus, etc), then I'd consider that disruptive. --[[image:GEO-logo.png]]<font color="#237d00"> Jïörüjï Ðerako.> <font color="#237d00">.c??t^  04:19, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Listen up
and the corresponding talk page were deleted by me because the conflict it detailed was a personal matter between myself, Maui, and blue.rellik- it was barely related to the wiki, and should never have been brought up here. I handled the situation spectacularly badly, by trolling rellik and losing my temper. Ideally I should never have made the list at all. I have suffered a good deal for that outburst- Maui has not spoken to me since then, and I wonder if she ever will, and I also returned from my miserable convention to find myself banned for a week. I maintain that the entire topic did not belong on wiki, and if anyone has any respect for me or my decisions, they will NOT attempt to revive it again.

Now, on to Warwick. Warwick has been harassing me in-game and on MSN for months, really- she spends more time on my block and ignore lists than she does off it. "But that's not on wiki!" you may protest. Take a look at User talk:Felix Omni if you haven't already- Things that you say and do off GuildWiki may be invisible to the rest of us here; but they still reflect on you. This morning Warwick begged me in-game to unblock her MSN account, so I eventually did. She proceeded to taunt me in regards to the ban, and then revealed that she had the entire text of the Noobs talk page. Now, the only way she could have gotten that is by asking a sysop to procure it for her, and I'm quite upset about that as well- regardless of what you feel about my powers of judgment or my temperament, I made an administrative decision to remove that page from this wiki, and I would expect others to either abide by it or address their concerns directly to ME. Anyway, Warwick told she was going to repost that entire conversation on the wiki under requests for arbitration or some nonsense. I expressly forbade her to do so, because of the reasons above, and also because it's none of her business. She said that she was going to do it anyway, I warned her (again) that if she did, I would ban her for at least a week, because in her escalating series of escapades she's gone from a day to three days, and the next step is a week. She continued to say that she was going to do it, even when I asked her to shut up, because I was monking in the Fissure of Woe at the moment and it was extremely distracting. A few minutes later she MSNed me again with something like ":) /waits for ban," and sure enough I saw a very large post in Warwick's userspace with the title "felixban." As I decided that the situation warranted it, I banned her just as I warned. I then asked Viper to delete the page, since doing it myself would require unbanning myself, something I'd rather not do because Entropy clearly trusted that I would respect her decision in banning me. And I do feel horrible that I've broken that trust right now, but I really need to say all this. Now people are saying that the page was actually just irritating nonsense, and if that was the case, I apologize for jumping to conclusions, but while banned one cannot view deleted pages even if one has sysop privileges.

As for Hellbringer... I told May that if she or any of her friends wished to protest the ban, they could contact me on MSN or wait until Friday. Fairly promptly I was messaged by Hellbringer, who said several hundred times "OMG WTF why did u ban may" before I blocked him. I don't care what kind of a relationship you have with Warwick- don't repost that conversation, don't harass me.

Now, if anyone feels that the ban was unjustified after knowing what happened, please contact me via MSN, or even e-mail, because I will now be re-banning myself for the remaining time, regardless of what happens on this page or any other page. 20:44, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

 * The pages aren't terribly hard to get, I have access to them to, in that my computer has an archival program that stores copies of every site (in every revision) for up to two months.

 * Thank you for explaining, Felix; I was very angry for a bit. I had given may the pages a while ago, for the same reason as Powersurge said; it wasn't exceptionally hard to get. Any user that had been on at the time could have copied it and given it to everyone they knew. Perhaps not the brightest decision I've made, and I'm sorry for it; but what's done is done. At any rate, I will not oppose the block. --<font face="vivaldi" size="3" color="Steelblue">Shadowcrest  21:03, 21 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I still think that stuff that happens outside the wiki needs to stay outside the wiki. Yes, anything a person does will reflect on that person, but that in itself shouldn't be grounds for banning anyone from the wiki.  If it is brought onto the wiki, though, then the overall issue should necessarily be considered when making administrative decisions against that user, but only if and when it is brought onto the wiki.  If I go and start spamming, say, Vipermagi with random insults in-game, of course that's going to make me look bad, but Viper isn't going to ban me from the wiki just because I insulted him in-game (at least I hope not :P ).  Now, if I were to reference said insultspam in any way here on the wiki, then it could be considered a wiki issue and I could be banned for it.
 * This case, of course, is more complicated because it sprouted from long-standing issues between a few people. It was brought onto the wiki through, and Entropy took action because of that.  What happened since then, however, has mostly happened off-wiki except for , which in itself was really just spam (and a touch of trolling).  Off-wiki threats a user makes to do something on the wiki should not be relevant to any administrative decisions against that user unless those threats are somehow made a part of the on-wiki issues against the user, which I believe did not happen here.  This was made obvious by everyone's confusion immediately after Felix blocked Warwick.
 * I'm actually going to stand in Warwick's defense in this issue and recommend that she be unblocked, or at the least have the block length shortened (since she did post that spam/troll page). I also feel that Felix allowed his personal feelings against Warwick to greatly influence his actions in this matter, and I would agree with a decision to demote him because of this.  He should have simply ignored Warwick both on MSN and in-game, instead of allowing her to continue harassing him.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 22:09, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Felix has since unblocked Warwick, on the basis that the spam/troll page Warwick made didn't contain the content of User:Felix Omni/Noobs, and thus grounds for banning weren't sufficient. --<font face="vivaldi" size="3" color="Steelblue">Shadowcrest 00:28, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Ishmael makes good points. I believe that...
 * banning Hellbringer was/would have been wrong
 * May cannot be banned for actions off the Wiki if they do not affect the wiki; i.e. the whole conversation on the Noobs page in addition to the outside knowledge was, I think, justifiable cause. But there was no such similar comments between May and Felix on the wiki (at the time, to my knowledge) which justify banning her. Yes, she has numerous warnings and such and such...nevertheless, banning for general asshattery is hard and I don't think there is sufficient harm done right now - if it was an admin other than Felix making such decision, Warwick would probably not be banned, since Warwick did not harass them on MSN or such.
 * It was a mistake to give the contents of the Noob page to May, and I feel it led directly to these later actions and reactions.
 * Felix is walking on thin ice with two strikes. Further actions on the wiki during the remainder of this ban will result to desysoption (I am upset about that); any actions after the ban which are of this nature will also result in desysoption. The only reason I am not desysopping right now for this incident is because I beliveve the other sysops are to blame (see above bullet), as well as May pushing it in harassment. It is true that "[Felix] should have simply ignored Warwick both on MSN and in-game, instead of allowing her to continue harassing him." But considering the situation right now, I believe it was rather inevitable even if Felix had strongly wished not to act, and I feel others would have done the same. This is the same reason I did not block Blue.rellik or Maui in regards to the original Noobs page discussion, even though they repeatedly broke NPA very clearly...I didn't think it would help to resolve the issue.

GuildWiki:Bots
Seems to be fixed that Bots is a copyvio, even after a major rewite she will not stop marking it for deletion and ranting about it. I am aware that it was a copyvio beforehand but I rewrote it so that it would no longer be one, I have said apolgized about it being a copyvio and did a major rewrite. Apparently Warwick thinks it has the same meaning so it is a copyvio. Admin intervention is needed imo -- Shadowphoenix  17:17, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

 * The current issue doesn't seem to be about Warwick as much as it seems to be about whether or not the policy is a copyvio of the GWW policy. Warwick thinks it is and you think it is not. Now, I'm going to review the two policies shortly but firstly, lets keep in mind that they are both policies about the exact same thing and they are naturally going to be similar. Remember that GWW borrows plenty of things from us and based lots of their policies off ours. Also, our early policies were based off Wikipedia policies. Ladies, please don't let this discussion degenerate into a simple cat-fight. Don't take it personally, either of you. &mdash;<font color=#ff44aa>? Jedi ? Rogue ? 18:02, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I have reviewed the policy. A few sections could be construed as a copyvio but they have now be rewritten. In the future, instead of slapping the tag on, you should show quotes to places where you think it may be a copyvio and calmly discuss why you think its a copyvio. Additionally, if someone thinks that your edits are copyvios, don't take it personally and point out sections that you rewrote. I HAVE SPOKEN!&mdash;<font color=#ff44aa>? Jedi ?

Felix Omni
I was looking at Mesmer armor today and saw that the Elite/Ascended/15k Luxon armor had a very poor gallery for the male armor. I left a message on the talk page asking for someone who is more experienced at wiki to help by adding a tag stating it needs to be conformed to a higher standard of quality, and a reason why (in language clearly intended to point out why without being used on the page itself). The result was Felix Omni adding a tag which I felt was rather sad and left me looking at the GW:NPA curiously.

He acted in an immature fashion, leaving a tag on the page he knew would be unhelpful, which I had to clean up myself.

My comments are on the talk page, I would be grateful if someone could look into this for me, the article's history will show you the tag. Thank you. -->Suicidal Tendencie 21:32, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

 * The thing is, which I think is why the other 2 at least didn't approve of it, even if they thought I was wasting my time here, was that using my reason was being immature, 1) he knew he shouldn't [as you do not on actual articals start talking about epic phails] and also the reason I mentioned it here was that I took it personally as him having a go at me. -->Suicidal Tendencie 21:49, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Are you serious? You quite specifically asked for the template to be placed on the page, and you gave your reasoning.

Upset, no, annoyed, certainly. Felix you know different kinds of language all have their place, and for the record I'm the one who was left to fix the template; not you. I feel if a user who is not that experienced at wiki code asks for help, it should be taken seriously. And as far as your first statement here is concerned, you know you do not HAVE to give a reason on the template. Anyone who looks at the whole page will see the male gallery and understand quite easily. -->Suicidal Tendencie 08:51, 11 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Oh goodie, a scandal. Because obviously it's plagiarism to move a quote from an article's talk page to its article page.  :D  Quizzical 08:59, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Then clearly you have not bothered taking the time to look at it, the point is, a user asked for help, when trying to improve GuildWiki, the result was Felix mocking me and leaving a template that he knew would have to be changed.
 * I don't mind users trying to help with things that will have to be redone later with someone with more knowledge of codes, etc. but simply taking the piss out of less experienced users is not exactly having a positive influence on GuildWiki. -->Suicidal Tendencie 09:03, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
 * ST, I don't think Felix was trying to mock you. It seems to you he must be mocking you, because you can't see how anyone could seriously put that up on the real page. I agree it looks completely unprofessional - this isn't an edit summary or a talk page comment - but Felix doesn't.

Felix was merely being a "smart ass" by using your exact chosen context of words in the image update tag.  He was not violating NPA, nor was he trying to mock you.
