'''LEFT 4 WIKI'''
 
The wiki is very much a survival horror experience itself.  I noticed the parallels to one of my favorite games and had to share.
'''Iscariot''' is the ''WITCH''. Sits there on his talk page whining and crying, grunting and huffing when anyone comes near him. If you "startle" him he leaps on you viciously tearing at you with wiki lawyering claws. (He is probably doing most of this in his underwear, too.)
 
'''Katthew''' is the greatest ''Boomer'' that ever lived. She vomits obscenities and hordes of goons run to the scene trolling and ranting. Since she has gone inactive the baby Boomer would have to be '''J3D'''. Fail to knock him back and he spews nonsense and summons his clan which litter the area with gibberish and LOLS.
'''Karek''' is the ''Hunter''. Lurking around making valid posts randomly (as his hunter shrieks) then leaping in with a vicious attack that is sharp and to the point often knocking down any opposition. 
'''Hagnat''' is the ''Smoker''. Dancing around getting tangled up in random problems. Instead of a hacking cough, you can recognize him by his "English" and poor spelling.
'''Nubis''' seems to be the ''Tank'' if you look at A/M. Going around doing whatever I want and throwing walls of text at those that oppose me. I can't let things drop and I often don't wear a shirt.
 
'''Boxy ''' is ''Bill'' the grizzled vet. Probably does wear a beret.
 
'''Rosslessness''' is ''Louis''. Just a normal guy trying to make it through the day and not get hurt by some idiot using a Molotov at close range.
'''Cyberbob''' is ''Francis''.  Rebel by nature and probably does dress like a member of the Village People in a little leather vest.
 
'''Conndraka''' is ''Zoey''. Just because the DHPD were all little girls. :P

== Srs Question ==
When did I become the "golden boy of the sysop team"? That's quite the 180 from when I was "Grim Jr." or more recently when I was Marcus Karekius. Something is wrong here, something isn't quite right. Iscariot has stolen all of the hate, there's none left for the uppity, loud mouthed, egalitarians like me. It's just not fair.<br /><br />And on that note, when did Boxy and me get classified as bestest buds? When did Conndraka start to be reasonable like again? I must know how these people that I've argued with more than anyone else got marked as my wiki fave five.--<small>[[User:Karek#K|Karek]]<sup><font face="Monotype Corsiva">[[User:Karek/ProjDev/OmegaMap|maps?!]]</font></sup></small> 06:33, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
:Well, it was after Monica got amnesia and Raul came back from being kidnapped by Canadians.
:Seriously though, you became the "golden boy" because unlike Grim you can present your logical arguments without derision and spelling errors. You were only Grim Jr. because while he was often the most logical side he was also the least agreeable. You are consistently on the right side of most if not all cases. Actually, with the exception of banning Katthew I think you have always made good decisions or at least '''made''' decisions. (And that's why in hindsight I can totally understand the Katthew thing, but at the time that was the wrong move politically).  And I know you can see that after the shit storm that was GoonMania.
:Boxy had a period (after Grim was promoted, but before Boxy was "demoted") where his judgment seemed very flaky or cloudy at best. I attribute it to slight burnout and annoyance at the goons actually succeeding in voting in the least suitable candidate with a sweeping majority (IIRC). That would piss me off, too. (And I won't apologize for the Goons. I love them).
:I wouldn't say you and Boxy are "bestest buds" because I don't think you two "bond" that well. I just think you are both able (now) to make decisions that while they might seem "bad" in the short term actually are the best in the long run. I don't think it will last. But as long as you are both on the same sides of an issue I see him as a good ally and nice foil for you.
:I found Conndraka was almost always a reasonable person deep down inside, but like myself he wants to win and be right and enjoyed the "politics" (back in the day). I think the DHPD/The Dead of Dunell Hills workaround was a masterstroke of cunning, but it pissed me off to no end.  Once he stopped identifying himself as DHPD's sysop (in actions) he became a good guy that makes decisions and has a spine or balls (which ever organ is the greater compliment).
:I would hope that I am on your fave five. Since I seem to be Misconduct's Poster Boy I can hardly be one of the good guys though. I'll try not to drag you down with me when I go :) I also know that while I mostly look out for myself (hey, gotta be honest) I will throw myself into whatever cause I feel is right. Which if I am on your "side" is a good thing and if I am not is a bad thing. So, be prepared for that should it come up.
:I notice that Hag is missing from this inquiry. Here's what I will say about him. Things that he is "passionate" about he will try his damnedest on to get a resolution even if he doesn't know what he needs resolved. Things that he doesn't think really affect him he couldn't care less about. It's a self-centered approach, but I can't fault him on it. It is just frustrating trying to get him to "care" and act on something that he is, well, "meh" about. I don't think Cheese is really a moron, even though I have called him that. I just think he doesn't see the Big Picture. Not everyone can. You can't teach someone how to see it either. They have to find something that makes them stop and see what the chain reaction will be. He doesn't see the ripples. Again, it's frustrating like Hag, but in a different way.

::[[UDWiki talk:Administration/Policy Discussion/Civil Conduct Policy|Oh, hello!]] --{{User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sig}} 22:34, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
:::AHLG, I've vaguely been following that. I like the link/response you put to my comment on there, but honestly, I don't think a civility policy is the answer. I think a moderation system is the way to go only because a policy can't ''force'' people to participate in conflict resolution. This place isn't that "wild west" but the sysops have no real way to deal with conflicts that don't include vandalism yet are still very disruptive. And if someone is being disruptive and the aggressor there is no way to "stop" them if they aren't trashing pages.
:::If possible, a workable definition of harassment needs to be added to the vandalism descriptions. However, any definition can't include a solid ''number'' and therefore will still be open to interpretation by..well..''moderators''.--{{User:Nubis/sig}} 21:28, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
::::Hmm. I think the idea was to change/create a new system where there would be a set of "moderators" (or whatever). Read through [[UDWiki_talk:Administration/Policy_Discussion/Civil_Conduct_Policy#Discussion_2|this part]], where there would be evidence and discussion after which it would be ruled upon. In a way that the "accused" can't just decline and go on his way. I suppose it's like A/VB, except exchange vandalism with things like harassment and incivility.--{{User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sig}} 21:36, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
:::::God help me, I have recently discovered the delicious crack called Recent Changes... Just to add a little to what Gnome said, harrassment is included in the draft civility policy, and yes, you're right that cases (those that aren't dealt with by some kind of prior mediation) are going to be arbitrated by fallible human beings. But surely ''some'' human beings on this wiki are capable of rational, unbiased judgement. The bottom line is that, without an enforced  policy that checks harrassment and rampant incivility, then harassment and rampant incivility will continue unchecked. This is not behavior that falls (or should fall) under vandalism, IMO. Being a dick is not vandalism. --{{User:Paddy Dignam/sig}} 21:58, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
::::::''But surely ''some'' human beings on this wiki are capable of rational, unbiased judgement.'' Good luck getting 2 people to agree on who that would be. Being an extreme dick is the very definition of vandalism "a not good faith edit that does not improve or contribute to the wiki". --{{User:Nubis/sig}} 02:32, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
:::::::Well, we'll never find out how the votes would come out unless there's actually a vote. You ''know'' about this shit, at least come tell us what you would do. Also, if "an edit not made in a good-faith attempt to improve this wiki" is vandalism, then half the posts on this wiki are vandalism, and punishment should be enforced across the board. --{{User:Paddy Dignam/sig}} 16:53, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
::::::::What I would do would be exactly what I said: Go to an all moderation format. If this wiki was just the basic information (Skills do this, buildings have this, here's some math on hitting things etc.) then the system we have would be perfect. But we also have groups, buildings, a generated ''history'', and users posting as their character. This means more "rivalry", egos, and potential flaming. You can't just Admin to all that. If you could, you wouldn't need arbitration because everything would be black and white. Moderation doesn't have to be as "involved"  and controlling as people would make it seem. It would be less wiki lawyering and more accepting personal responsibility if your actions proved disruptive. --{{User:Nubis/sig}} 13:04, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
::::::::And if you wanted to come up with a fair''ish'' way to pick the mods instead of instantly porting over all the sysops then post another Do you trust this sysop? page and let the sysops give a brief statement (like a promotions bid) and any Againsts that are purely "personality conflict" can be counted as a half vote since it isn't about whether you like the person, but rather that you think they could be fair. Being fair is '''completely''' different from following policy. As annoying as it is sometimes the policy is wrong and to follow it would be ''unfair'' and those are the situations that test a person. --{{User:Nubis/sig}} 22:09, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 
So in this moderation format, there would be no more arbitration? Or arbitration would stand as it is now but it would rule only on edit disputes? And how many moderators would your system need? Would they all be sysops? And if these moderators ''did'' exist, wouldn't they need some guidelines (a policy, say) by which to moderate? Or they would would just go around making personal calls on what is disruptive/abusive behavior and what isn't? I'm trying to get an idea of what a new system would look like (could you tell?), as that seems to be the direction most people are going... --{{User:Paddy Dignam/sig}} 02:00, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
 
:Arbitration would be content only and decided by a jury. One person should not have complete control over disputes on creative content. Personal disputes wouldn't belong there. The number depends on activity levels and coverage. Not tons but then more than 3.
:I don't think you understand what I mean by moderation. I mean less red tape. Restructure VB so that the punishment ladder isn't so rigid. Change the term "ban" to "probation" unless it is a perma-ban. Let the sysops/mods (whatever they are called) actually exercise powers without pointless red tape because you trust their judgment.
As far as a policy goes just adapt [http://www.somethingawful.com/d/forum-rules/forum-rules.php?page=1 this]. It keeps the goons in check. It should work otherplaces.
 
Countdown to this paragraph being linked/quoted as evidence I clearly want to rule this wiki.  --{{User:Nubis/sig}} 07:40, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
 
Indeed.--{{User:Nubis/sig}} 20:07, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
 
:Interesting new signature! Look, thanks much for all the input on this. I think you're right about arbitration and have argued as much, but naturally everyone has different opinions. It seems like people ''do'' want a new system for personal disputes, and I did totally use the SA link to come up with a [http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/UDWiki_talk:Administration/Policy_Discussion/Civil_Conduct_Policy#User_Conduct_Policy_.28Draft.29 user conduct draft], which I think is less hardcore than the previous civil conduct draft. Maybe it will be useful, maybe not. Ciao. --{{User:Paddy Dignam/sig}} 19:15, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

== Current Projects ==
 
I would really like to help you on your quest to destroy location disambiguations... If you could give me a small description of all the exact actions it entails (besides just making a locations page) I'll start help right away. {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig}} 13:07, 26 April 2009 (BST)
 
This is what I do.
1.Category:Disambiguation list in Tab 1.
2.Click on location to open in tab 2.
3 Click on what links here. (if things other than location list is showing then hit back button.)
4. Open each location listed on Disam page in own tab (3 and 4 etc) .  (if it is a grouped/merged page fix that first)
5. go to each disamb listed on the what links here page.
6. Use Ctrl + f to find the name you are fixing. (read the text to make sure you have the right location)
7. C&P to fix the links to the correct location
8. Refresh what links here list until it is gone.
9. Repeat.
 
 
I find that news archives are the worst for random links to disamb pages, but luckily you can tell which one they want. Group or character pages suck, because you have to figure out which one they mean.  I leave user talk pages and group pages where I'm not sure which one they mean alone.  The big part is getting the pages unmerged. It can be tedious at best. That's why I am making sure I keep track of what I have done so I don't double back on myself. If you jump in, just let me know which ones you do or where you leave off on here.  I will add them to my list (with credit of course).
 
Any other questions, feel free to ask.--{{User:Nubis/sig}} 13:41, 26 April 2009 (BST)

I'm talking about people that do jack to help the wiki yet because none of their edits were actually "bad faith" they're de-escalated, giving them free rein to do whatever they please until they rack up their next One Warning (and so on and so forth). It's abuse of the system. Ideally there should be a common-sense requirement that not only do your edits have to not be "bad faith" but also should ''actively'' be "good faith" and genuinely be trying to work at doing work to help out around the place if they want their de-escalation. --[[User:Cyberbob240|Cyberbob]] 20:31, 10 June 2009 (BST)

Thanks Nubis, but since DDR refuses to check my past edits and my lack of true rude, in the confines of not breaking the rules, behavior to anyone besides "Izzy", and maybe Grim as his case was winding down, I fear things said won't matter. If he wishes to believe I am a worthless troll, then he will keep believing it. I've tried to find out what set him off specifically, but I haven't been able to.
 
BTW on an unrelated matter, I also sold my soul to TF2 recently. It's more enjoyable than crack I must say. --{{User:SirArgo/Signature}} 02:11, 3 June 2009 (BST)
:How about that. Nubis, I never said Argo was anything like iscariot, I said he was no better than him as a contributor to the community. I ''know'' Argo left because of Iscariot, that is proving exactly what I mean: Argo has no reason to edit this wiki simply because he can't handle the way one user behaves? Poor form, especially for him to come in every now and then (ie. Crat Elections) and spout on about how this place is a shithole and it's all up to you, Nubis, to fix it. And Argo, I ''did'' check your contributions many weeks ago in anticipation I would eventually talk to you about this: Your entire existence up until you left was being a reactionary retard to users like Bob, Iscariot and Woot (ie. anyone with bite). And why is it that whenever someone insults you, you ''have'' to pull out the "You think I'm a troll!" card. I never said anything about you being a troll, I never use the word troll, and you are ''not'' a troll. You are the opposite. A whiney, thin-skinned user who blames your shortcomings and lack of progress on the wiki on other users who just like the attention they get from you. How long do you think it will take for you to pull your head out of your arse and actually contribute based on the merit of actually helping the wiki, and choosing to ignore users like Iscariot? It took me 3 months, I believe. Have you surpassed 3 months already? I'm not sure... {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig}} 02:49, 3 June 2009 (BST)
 
::Ow, the flaming here burns.
::I forgot I am not allowed to return to the wiki after leaving for the fact that I didn't want to violate the rules in a massive flame fest. Silly old me. And for me to then voice my opinions, because obviously if I'm not editing I'm not reading anything that's going on right, I should be burned at the stake. I like the words you put in my mouth as well, it's great icing on the cake. WHERE did I pull out the "you think I'm a troll card"? You basically called me a troll, to quote "his only existence on the wiki is that of 100% antagonistic behaviour", a.k.a. TROLLING. I then essentially said "Ok, go ahead it's not that big of a deal". Now you flame me because you don't like me. Ok, don't like me, I don't care. But now you insult me. I have never directly insulted you, so you throw the first rock. You want to start something, and I shall not feed it. Believe what you wish, go ahead and flame me. I don't have time for your weird ass anger issues. Remember, YOU came on here and started this. You could have said NOTHING, like you now tell me I should do, but you chose not to.--{{User:SirArgo/Signature}} 03:05, 3 June 2009 (BST)
:::Amazing. Simply amazing. Do you classify ''everything'' that isn't productive as trolling? You are not a troll, I never said you were, nor did I imply it. However, you are still banging on about it. Who is putting words in other user's mouths ''now''? You are merely proving exactly what I mean; for example, the long response that ends with "I will not feed you at all, DDR. However, if you reply to this in an offensive way, I will reply, merely stating that I will not feed you further, and so on and so forth". This is the behavior that I have seen from you and Honestmistake oh so many times before. I expect a glorious reply that still states you won't be interested in pursuing this argument. Oh, look at me, I don't even like arguing with petty users, but see how easy it is to get caught up with someone so easy to antagonise! In fact, I'm surprised you haven't pulled the '[[UDWiki_talk:Administration/Promotions#Haliman111|why do you think you're an overlord/god]]' card. And just so you know, I don't flame you because I don't like you. I flame you because I try my hardest to clean up this wiki and make it a useable resource, and I take it to heart when a user who makes 3 contributions a month comes in and claims it is crap, just because of his one series of altercations with ''one'' user, who everyone hates already (and therefore making it all the more easy to ignore him, despite your persistence not to).
:::I ''will'' be leaving this, however, not because I consider myself beat, simply because even with the best argument I can throw at you, it could never get you to wise up and realise that you are actually less useful to this wiki than Iscariot himself. As I said, it took me 3 months, I bid you good luck in however long it takes you. {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig}} 03:35, 3 June 2009 (BST)
::::Ignoring a problem doesn't make it go away. It makes it worse. Did you read the links on my 001 page? Did you know that all of the stuff collected on there was only a '''sampling''' of his behavior? He's been given many chances, ignored, and even defended many times by Karek, (irony)  and yet he persists. --{{User:Nubis/sig}} 03:39, 3 June 2009 (BST)

:::::I couldn't read all the links because at the time, a few were broken. Yes, I understand fully that he is the bane of the wiki, but I will not agree to a sysop vote to immediately ban him. All evidence will similarly undermine my priorities in what I believe to be the wrong process. {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig}} 03:51, 3 June 2009 (BST)
 
Going to unconditionally agree with DDR here with regards to SirArgo.
Nubis, I don't think you quite"get what is meant by ignoring Iscariot. It does not mean ignoring for one case and then immediately returning to the way things were when it becomes a little tough. It means consistently ignoring him for who-knows-how-long until it really does become clear to him he's not going to have an effect. "bawww its too hard ;(" only tells him his efforts are working. Believe me when I say that banning him in this manner is more or less giving him exactly what he wants and apart from that I think it sets up a really really bad precedent. But I guess from your comments on the talk page you don't think the precedent would be all that bad? --[[User:Cyberbob240|Cyberbob]] 05:35, 3 June 2009 (BST)
:Bob, if he just pissed off sysops I would almost say Fight the Power RAWR RAWR, but he attacks new users. You can't allow that and hope to have the community grow.
 
:True, I don't think any precedent that it sets will be a bad one. Mainly because this "one" incident has taken place over a year at least. I don't see any benefit in allowing him to remain. I don't see any problem with "giving him what he wants" as many of you think it will do. I do see a problem with turning a blind eye on a problem that can be solved.
 
:He has been given many chances and never reforms. This is very much a big picture problem. He's well beyond 3 strikes. Sysops have tried to reason with him on his page, A/VB, and A/A and there is never a change in his behavior. He's been given a "time out" ban and yet he persists. There is such a thing as an incorrigible troll and that is Iscariot. --{{User:Nubis/sig}} 13:33, 3 June 2009 (BST)
