General Discussion

JISOR/Halfdan and Mekhan/Tarpenz

Assuming these 4 are all ruled vandalism, are their votes in the election all struck? Would remove 2 additional votes from Stelar, leaving them at 23. --ooɹd ǝʌɐɥ sʇɐoƃ sʍoʅʚ ǝɹɔuoɯ uǝɹɐʞWe're going to destroy everything, and you can't stop usYou rated this wiki '1'! Great job, go hog wild!|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| 07:58, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

We'd strike only the second (time-wise) of the votes for each candidate; e.g. JISOR's first two votes would remain, but any by Halfdan Pisket would be struck. Same with Mekhan/Tarpenz — Mekhan's votes remain, but Tarpenz's have been struck. Bob Moncrief EBDW! 12:15, 15 December 2018 (UTC)
I corrected the title for clarity. I have not been connected to the other two accounts. -- SomethingSomething.gif 14:47, 15 December 2018 (UTC)
JISOR’s final vote was made after both of Pisket’s. If a user has two votes, I believe it would make sense for all votes struck after the first two votes by a single user. DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION 14:54, 15 December 2018 (UTC)
Oh, unless of course that scenario would end in a double vote like you described. Apologies. DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION 14:56, 15 December 2018 (UTC)
Totally right. I didn't realize Halfdan's were timestamped before JISOR's. Bob Moncrief EBDW! 15:15, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

Blanked User talk:Sniper4625 - normally I would give benefit of the doubt, but they seem quite hostile, so I thought I would bring it to your attention. Regards~ Sniper4625 (talk) 23:32, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

I won't need any benefit of doubt, thanks for considering my feelings though. After reading I wanted to have my talk page protected both Sniper and Dragontard came to write on my page - if you don't want any hostile behavior I suggest you fuck off and leave me alone :) I don't even know who the fuck you guys are. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sister Mary (talkcontribs) 23:37 June 3 2018.
Oh right. Ban the fuck outta my account if you feel like it Mr. System-Operator-Boss. I have no problem editing some page to get my message across to people who have a hard time getting it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sister Mary (talkcontribs) 23:38, 3 June 2018 (UTC).

Now now, there's no need to be rude and start flinging insults. --Dragonshardz (talk) 23:41, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
Might I inquire why you decided the best choice of action to a harmless greeting was a rule-breaking act of vandalism? Quite rude. Sniper4625 (talk) 23:40, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
Given talk pages are a pretty important element of regulating user behavior without needing to ban anyone the instant they step out of line, I'm really not sure Sister Mary has any interest in learning or following any of the community norms of the wiki. Swissaboo (talk) 23:51, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
Per their talk page now they apparently have gotten many such pages deleted, which somewhat confuses me. Sniper4625 (talk) 23:52, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
Adding onto this, in their protection request they clearly have no interest in bothering with the proper formatting for responding to other users and on their talk page they have placed the nominated for deleting template without any actual nomination for deletion having occurred. I don't know how much of this is actually against wiki RULES (except perhaps that last one?) but they're very clearly running roughshod over the expected standards of behavior. Swissaboo (talk) 00:00, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
I'm sure you meant WIKI LAW when you said RULES. --Dragonshardz (talk) 01:23, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

This was exactly the point of having my talk page protected - the horde/jack/whateverzergs can't seem to leave me alone :) Sister Mary (talk) 00:10, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

The Jack got run out of town on a rail. Try again. --Dragonshardz (talk) 01:26, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
You never did explain why you thought breaking the rules in a very rude way was the best course of action, and why you thought getting demonstrably mad would make people pay *less* attention to you. Sniper4625 (talk) 00:24, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
The reason is pretty simple, and I thought you got the message, but okay, I will clarify for you why = I don't like you :) I will eat my warning with pleasure, don't worry about it! But.. this isn't your first time harrassing people, correct? I like that you feel like you have the upperhand over a guy that made 200+ edits within the last 24 hours, and only vandalized a single page of a user that didn't really go about making "a good-faith attempt to improve this wiki" by trying to trigger me by invading my talk page. Im looking forward as to how this will play out. I will just make another account and keep on editing from there so I didn't lose anything catching myself a warning, other than shifting focus to you ugly bunch of motherfuckers :D Sister Mary (talk) 00:39, 4 June 2018 (UTC) (See, I use my template just like you want to!)
Isn't sockpuppeting to avoid wikipunishments in itself a punishable offense? You just keep digging. Sniper4625 (talk) 01:18, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
I see that you're trying to put words in my mouth - unfortunately thats not going to happen. As stated, I will be let of with a warning so I have no intention, and never have I stated that I would sneak away from any punishment. I think it's great that everyone can see how you guys clearly are trying to engage some sort of drama - otherwise you would have left me alone, like I asked to be. So if you think again, I will ditch this account to prevent people like you from being a harrassment. But regarding the sockpuppet behavior - how do we work out the fact that 3 different people came around at the same time, all with the same purpose, and all with the intention of trying to give me a bad time - did you guys coordinate some sort of drama on my behalf - After asking for my talk page to be isolated from people like you. I think im gonna need your shovel m8, seems like it digs that much faster than mine :) Sister Mary (talk) 02:00, 4 June 2018 (UTC) (Ohhhhh snap.)
Are you back, Jack? Because you're making the same "alts!" argument he did, and he was similarly disproven. I'm not sure how I put words in your mouth when you said "I will just make another account and keep on editing from there," but well, I did appreciate your attempt to sic Aichon on my compatriot. Too bad it failed. Sniper4625 (talk) 02:08, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
AHHHHHHHH :D I was actually just waiting for someone to pull out the "you're a Yocum" card! Sure dude - let's say im a Jack. I must be a great Jack. I mean, I edited 2 suburbs completely and have been editing the EMRP for 6 months on another account - but sure! YOU GOT ME! :D Im getting the idea that your dick is all so im gonna leave you to play with that! I will be back with another account, to edit another 200+ locations. Meanwhile you guys will have to enjoy yourself being annoying towards someone else! :D —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sister Mary (talkcontribs) 02:22, 4 June 2018.

Vandalism and a Warning. Don't blank other's pages. I'll serve the warning officially over at the Sister Mary page, but I assume you'll see it here as well. And yes, warnings carry over between accounts. Aichon 02:51, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

So...how does the wiki handle a user rage-reverting their own edits? --Dragonshardz (talk) 03:09, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
Rage reverting? I edited 3 locations due to them being wrong :D Aichon you said something about the parties in question should talk, the rest should shut up. If this doesnt qualify as harrassment I don't know what will. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sister Mary (talkcontribs) 03:14, 4 June 2018 (UTC).

Sounds to me like someone is finally bored of this game and is getting one last laugh out of the community by being as much as a cunt as possible on his way out. Either that or it's his time of month and he's out of pads.----RWSig1.png RWSig2.pngFoD PK Praise Rando!06:37, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

User: Revenant

Now think about it, I have a very distant memory of a user who used to remove all signatures of everyone else on their talk page as a kind of norm, but I can't remember who it was, or if it actually happened. Might have been Iscariot, maybe even Finis. Does this sound right to anybody? A ZOMBIE ANT 22:44, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

Yeah, there was somebody, but fuck if I remember who it was. I think the logic was that if there was no signature, they could do whatever they wanted to the content and it didn’t count as impersonation? ЯЭV⁠€⁠NΛИ You rated this wiki '1'!

Is there a minimum time cases need to stay on the main VB page? Can't this shit just be moved to archives and locked? --KCLZA 21:48, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

I like where this is going. Step back everyone, I got A/M covered. A ZOMBIE ANT 06:09, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
The fact that the drama level was updated almost prompted me to raise it a level, since that's more drama than we've had in months. Aichon 06:49, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
DDRs threat to use A/M before there even is a VB verdict alienates me. I will pre-emptively file an arbitration to forbid him from posting on A/M for 5.73 venusian years. -- Spiderzed 20:44, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Ehh, I'm still a little on alert from the big bot attack last week. Not a true old-school drama, but it qualifies. Bob Moncrief EBDW! 18:20, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

I assume that his 3 edits were the creation of a new page and the two vandalisms of Template:Lastupdate? Otherwise, there's only 2 edits under that username.

As a sidenote, perhaps when a user creates a vandalism page as one of their "3 Edits", that the page title be part of the vandal report which states that 3 edits were in fact made. After all, when a page is deleted, so too is any log of edits to the page in User Contributions.

Did anyone ask them on their talk page to stop? I admit that it was a bonehead move to edit a user sub-page, but that part of the page does look like it's for ongoing discussion. Their edits don't seem blatantly bad faith, or even to be disruptive; perhaps a soft warning would stop these actions from continuing, provide closure, and send a clear message?

Look, see? It was an honest mistake, not a bad faith edit; I think everyone can get off with a soft warning here and go back to the usual buisness of ignoring things that don't exist because they don't.

It was just one of those simple accidents that happen every once and awhile, and excuse me for slipping a few wheezes or snorts in every now and then.

I don't know who Isc is, but I don't think this will be a problem; the only reason I brought up nothing was because of how oddly uninvolved everyone was.

Not Vandalism - A good-faith mistake with a good-faith purpose- to help with something that was, at heart, very much like a policy discussion, enough to mistaken it as such. If they persisted then I would have ruled vandalism, but I think you really should have just removed the comments and warned them not to do it again on their talk pages before going to A/VB. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 16:03, 16 September 2009 (BST)

Behold the precedent you've just ignored. -- To know the face of God is to know madness....Praise knowledge! Mischief! Mayhem! The Rogues Gallery!. <== DDR Approved Editor 16:24, 16 September 2009 (BST)
Some retard coming onto a group page and claiming to be the leader of a strike and directly claiming responsibility for its success (and hence representing the group misleadingly) does not equal users trying give community input onto a page which has the talk page protected and should be in A/PD anyway. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 16:29, 16 September 2009 (BST)
It's not a group page, it's a user page. Have you read the policy, that I linked that states clearly that I can do whatever I want in my user space as those pages are my sole property? Your opinion of where I should put my projects is your own concern, the fact remains that my user page has been edited against my wishes, precedent shows this to be clear vandalism. -- To know the face of God is to know madness....Praise knowledge! Mischief! Mayhem! The Rogues Gallery!. <== DDR Approved Editor 17:32, 16 September 2009 (BST)]
It was indeed a group page, because at the time of that vandalism, it was being used as a template inclusion on Category:Mall Tour 2009. Way to try to fuck over our precedents and namespace specific rules on the wiki by putting a group page into the user namespace, using it as a template for a category page and calling that the actual group page. You fail at wikilawyering here, because sysops have the ability to ignore hard and fast rules in situations when common sense dictates that to do so would be against the spirit of the rules. For all intents and purposes, your precedent was in fact a group page of a currently active group, and was treated as such. I am about to go about moving all those MT09 pages to more appropriate locations -- boxy talkteh rulz 11:25 19 September 2009 (BST)
Nubis thought he was dealing with a group page, check the warning he gave the user. You linked no policy, because no policy says that editing a user subpage is clear-cut vandalism, it only states that the user has total control over what appears on their user subpages. You have the control, so delete it already, don't run to A/VB to punish people for trying to help out. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 17:46, 16 September 2009 (BST)
Way to mis-read Nubis' comment. The Mall Tour is understood to be an ongoing event (like Big Bash) and therefore not strictly a "group page". It is/was a well orchestrated plan that wasn't aided by edits done by anyone not in the approved group. If you can't recognize that there is a CLEAR difference between something like the Mall Tour and say another crappy Resident Evil Umbrella wanna-be group then you need to start actually PLAYING UD more. Not to mention that Jareth's edit was retarded and not keeping in the flow of the page. Nubis was right with that decision. --Globetrotters Icon.png #99 DCC 17:55, 18 September 2009 (BST)
I didn't say he wasn't :/ the punishment was right but it doesn't apply as precedent here is all. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 10:37, 19 September 2009 (BST)

DCC

Can he be tried, seperatly, for every administrative action he's taken as Nubis? Each one of those was impersonation at the least, and they should stack up nicely to equal that perma we're all thinking this case warrants. It's not like he played with Nubis' account for a day and then appologized; he's been doing it for months and influencing major wiki aspects from elections to A/VB. Does anyone here seriously claim that each one of those large-scale wiki-spanning impersonations doesn't warrant its own case, or at least its own escalation? Lelouch vi Britannia is helping make Ridleybank green_ and gives Achievements 19:04, 11 September 2009 (BST)

One would argue that it would be for each and every edit done under Nubis, as each one would be considered impersonation. Best case scenario, we believe Nubis in that s/he has been away for years and just came back, thus demoting Nubis, and banning DCC for stealing an account and impersonating another user. Worst case, Nubis gave the account away, will get striped of sysop powers, and can very likely join DCC in getting banned (perpetuating account impersonation and having countless violations from DCC's edits). --Akule Maker of fine, hand-crafted UDWiki sass since 2006 -- Akule School's back in session™ 19:22, 11 September 2009 (BST)

Correct, but sit back and watch the 'sops almost fall over each other in failure to get the REAL punishments happening. Only DDR has or will show initiative.--CyberRead240 01:05, 12 September 2009 (BST)
If the impersonation is confirmed, then there are enough infractions for 500 permabans. It's absolutely ridiculous that one would not apply the same standards to DCC that are applied to every other serial vandal. If a "nobody" user made 100s upon 100s of impersonation edits as per DCC they'd be permabanned in a second, with no need for seperate cases for every edit to deal with such an obvious "career vandal". Why is this case any different? Or is it the balls of certain sysops that've shrivelled?

Are we sure he's a vandal alt? He has a user page, and left a relatively nice and newbie-characteristic comment on my talk page. That being said, he does seem to fit the roll a bit too perfectly, and could easily be employing camouflage based anti-peremptory-ban countermeasures. Still, are we sure?

I knew this sysop thing meant the world to you but I really didn't think you would so readily test the integrity of your relationships while pursuing it.--CyberRead240 14:42, 7 September 2009 (BST)
It's that persona thing we talked about. My persona goes on anal streaks. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 14:48, 7 September 2009 (BST)
regardless of persona, it doesnt mean you can change what you stand for on different mediums.--CyberRead240 14:50, 7 September 2009 (BST)
I was conflicted, but I was going to add: And besides, I've been a sysop for much longer than just the time you've returned, you know, and I've tested relationships in that time steadily, because I try to treat every case with an unbiased perspective. Ask poor J3D. The point is, Nallan entered the fray with a dumb case, and before you complain about me being mean, I voted vandalism on the similar Cyberbob one and also the J3D one so I'm trying to stick with my guns here by being consistent anyway. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 14:54, 7 September 2009 (BST)
It's not the rulings, it's the way you go about them. You speak to nick daily. a few times a week in person, yet somehow it's ok to claim he can't think for himself? or act for himself? I don't know, one would think you were deliberately distancing yourself from your friends, and for what? I like it when someone can be deemed independant and capable of making their own decisions and being objective without having to scorn relationships and pasts in order to be accepted by a group of cyberfags.--CyberRead240 14:58, 7 September 2009 (BST)
I'm thinking that this might be a conversation better held in private? Cyberbob  Talk  15:00, 7 September 2009 (BST)
its not too big a deal to me, i was just shocked to see him say shit like that to nick, of all people, if you knew nick irl its a pretty weird thing to say. Jed is exactly the same though. lol.--CyberRead240 15:02, 7 September 2009 (BST)
Lol alright then, wow. I never said Nick couldn't think for himself. I just suspected that J3D pressed him to put the case forward, which, really, wouldn't seem to surprising if you found out it was true, right? If you want to press on with it, I can give examples of similar things happening in relation to J3D. Within the week even, but I'd rather not. And I have no desire to impress anyone. I'm going for the grim thing. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 15:11, 7 September 2009 (BST)
You don't get it, and by the sounds of that reply, you will never get it.--CyberRead240 15:16, 7 September 2009 (BST)
I don't think you get what I'm trying to say. This is a fucking wiki for a fucking text based game. You think I'm would expect Nick to give me a cold shoulder over it when we are at the pub? Have you talked to Nick about this? Does he feel the same way that you do? Because as far as I'm concerned he's a big fan of the lulz and not his Internet resume, similar for me. If he did anything like what I mentioned above I would seriously question what he expects of me as a friend, not the other way around. Also, I think you are doing too much work judging me and my attitude towards IRL friends based on one power trip as opposed to my entire time here as a sysop or even a user. All I implied was that J3D told him to put the case forward so he wouldn't have to. Simple. Same as he did with me A/Ming Nubis and same as he did with Nick uploading Colaporn. I'm too busy to argue about this over a wiki. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 15:26, 7 September 2009 (BST)
I don't believe seeing you insult nick and thinking "shit charlie insulted nick for no reason" is doing too much work judging your attitudes, but anyway....And since we are making it precedent to lie about our actions involving Nick and the wiki, I'll follow your lead and say I haven't spoken to him bout it, no.--CyberRead240 15:32, 7 September 2009 (BST)
Lying, eh? All I did was bring a VB case against him for making a petty case. Sheesh. And you didn't answer my all-important question as to whether he cared. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 15:34, 7 September 2009 (BST)
It isn't about this one issue, and it never has been. It is about the distancing, we can't figure out why you insist on distancing yourself so badly, is all. Saying he "cares" about what you said to him is silly, nobody REALLY cares what is said to them on a wiki, but you can be taken aback by it and a little put off by the situation.--CyberRead240 15:39, 7 September 2009 (BST)
Well if that is a case then it's his and my issue to talk about, not ours. You broke the fourth wall between us and our "characters" an hour ago and it was then that I was turned off this conversation. I won't be replying. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 15:41, 7 September 2009 (BST)
I think it's fair to say he's distancing himself because he wants to be impartial as someone managing the wiki.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 15:42, 7 September 2009 (BST)
It is my problem because I do have an issue with it myself, and you are once again taking it too seriously. And to Yonnua, I know you are trying real hard for Sysop but you just dont get the situation, you haven't been around for long enough to get any of this. Also don't try the "I wont be replying", I invented that. In short, you are taking it too seriously, I'm not mad, nor am I generally opposed to it, I just feel a bit upset that you are so willing to distance yourself from our past on the wiki, but I do get the characters thing. I guess I just couldn't imagine crossing a mate on the wiki, but I understand your position means you will have to. Whatever it's late.--CyberRead240 15:47, 7 September 2009 (BST)
"All I implied was that J3D told him to put the case forward so he wouldn't have to. Simple." irrc I saw something very much like this said by you yourself, read, in IRC just the other day. I didn't make a big deal of it, it doesn't matter. As bob said, this is probably not something to be aired on the wiki. --WanYao 16:08, 7 September 2009 (BST)
I saw you come out of the closet and tell everyone your genitals resembled miniature marshmallows stuck together to form what probably SHOULD look like a penis but it doesn't really do the trick, hence why your last girlfriend dumped you for a small african midget who had a talent that you seemed to be unable to bring yourself to say without stopping for 30 seconds to ejaculate. All of this is true until you actually come up with "something very much like this said by me myself" rather than just adding on to the end of conversations and then claiming later that you are all innocent and you don't like conflict baww.--CyberRead240 16:41, 7 September 2009 (BST)

Since MichaelRead is making such a big stink of it, here and at this very moment in IRC... Here's the log of the conversation I was referring to:

  • [2009-09-06 01:42:38] <WanYao> negress is not racist
  • [2009-09-06 01:42:55] <michaelread> its not, in america it is used to define an independant black woman
  • [2009-09-06 01:42:59] <WanYao> it's not exactly politically correct ... but it's not racist
  • [2009-09-06 01:43:17] <michaelread> bobs "hahaha"
  • [2009-09-06 01:43:22] <michaelread> can that be removed to talk page
  • [2009-09-06 01:43:25] <michaelread> for irrelevant comments?
  • [2009-09-06 01:44:33] <WanYao> yeah....
  • [2009-09-06 01:44:34] <WanYao> do it
  • [2009-09-06 01:44:50] <michaelread> ill get banned for it, he is jumping on any of us
  • [2009-09-06 01:45:04] <michaelread> it took him nearly lessthan a minute to move what jed said and put it in vb
  • [2009-09-06 01:45:06] <michaelread> less than a minute
  • [2009-09-06 01:45:09] <michaelread> and the problem here?

  • [2009-09-06 01:45:13] <michaelread> he wont get in trouble for it.
  • [2009-09-06 01:45:37] <michaelread> normally i would but i am one escelation from a week ban
  • [2009-09-06 01:48:15] <WanYao> conn is no longer around to vote for bob
  • [2009-09-06 01:48:18] <WanYao> :)
  • [2009-09-06 01:48:33] <michaelread> so good
  • [2009-09-06 01:48:41] <michaelread> too busy with his super duper important life
  • [2009-09-06 01:48:46] <michaelread> haha
  • [2009-09-06 01:50:51] <michaelread> bob moved it from talk dude


etc, etc.
as i said before, i didn't and don't consider it a big deal. but it did happen. and since the whole thing apparently is a big deal to michaelread... there's the logs. --WanYao 17:07, 7 September 2009 (BST)

Moving a comment to talk page is not the same as getting someone else to post a vandal case for you. DDR was implying that Jed said "hey nick, post this for me because I dont want to be seen as petty while there is a case about that very thing". Mine was to alert those who were currently talking to something that I found wrong, but since I was embroiled in an edit and vandalism war at that very moment, I didn't want to fuel any fires I was involved in. --CyberRead240 17:43, 7 September 2009 (BST)
Actually both of them are variants of asking someone else to do a controversial edit on an Admin page which you're scared to do yourself because you think it'll get you another Vandal ban. I don't care either way, but I sure as hell am not going to let you pretend you're not someone who asks others to "do your dirty work"... because you asked me to. That doesn't prove anything in relation to the case at hand, but it clears up any implications you'd zomg never do such a thing evar11! --WanYao 00:46, 8 September 2009 (BST)
Sorry, bro, but your own "evidence" shows that I never asked anybody to do anything, you voluntarily said "I'll do it". I just said I wasnt going to because I was embroiled in Drama at the time. Examplefail.--CyberRead240 04:12, 8 September 2009 (BST)

Hm yes, I do agree with you that believing the word "negress" to be racist == pursuing a vendetta. Maybe if you didn't always feel the need to make those stupid "edgy" racial double entendres these cases wouldn't keep happening. Cyberbob  Talk  09:17, 6 September 2009 (BST)
Or you could stop pretending you care when a regular user says a slightly offensive (in your eyes) word on the wiki, just so that you can sting him with a VB case to further yourself in a personal vendetta. I think that one would avoid the drama a little better.--CyberRead240 09:21, 6 September 2009 (BST)
Or, maybe, as per my suggestion... You should ALL just shut the fuck up and stay away from taking each other to A/VB and Misconduct. None of you are coming across as at all mature or objective, and it's high time this shyte just ended. --WanYao 09:33, 6 September 2009 (BST)

The wiki is a public sphere; therefore, being a member of the "general public", these cases are my concern. I am totally within my rights to comment on them. Meanwhile, making statements about me is just trying to deflect the subject and the attention away from your own little private territorial pissing war. Classic tactic, nice try, but I'm calling you on it. Focus on the issue at hand. --WanYao 18:01, 6 September 2009 (BST)
So, the issue at hand (in your eyes), is for us to NOT post any cases against each other ever again....wouldn't that limit the "public sphere" of this wiki? If users were not allowed to report each other for things they deem inappropriate or incorrect? I also don't see how I am trying to deflect the attention away from the cases...if anything, my comment before YOU butted in was keeping the argument going, fighting for what side I believe in, you know, free speech, democracy, freedom, the essense of a "public sphere" etc?

If bob or J3D commit something that is clearly inappropriate vandalism, I think that the odds are good that another user would be willing to call them on it; It's not like you two are each other's personal watchdogs, you just self appoint yourselves that so you can catch the other when they slip up. I'm not saying that bob or J3D is right in these series of cases, but I'd think that bob should be able to trust his fellow sysops, and J3D his fellow members, to report blatant misconduct and vandalism when they see it (of their own accords). Anything less is probably in the grey area and grounds for A/A, which also gets things done.

I think the point was, Wan, that you are hardly innocent and totally uninvolved in this mess. You have made a fair few number of pretty obviously emotionally-based misconduct and vandal cases against people (mostly me) over the last couple of months. Remember how hard you were trying to bring my sysophood into a case about moving a section to the top of a page? Remember how ridiculously overblown that whole deal became because of your melodrama? I'm literally lol'ing at your attempts to repaint yourself as some kind of wrathful angel flying high above, because all that is needed to prove that you work just as hard as anyone to enmesh yourself in this business is to make a cursory glance at all the terrible cases you've been making a habit of bringing. Cyberbob  Talk  00:05, 7 September 2009 (BST)
I'm not repainting myself in any way, shape of form. But neither am playing your game of derailing this discussion by trying to turn it into a character assassination session. Or by responding to you pulling out an old example of my alleged "melodrama" -- which melodrama, by the way, was a response to a completely out of line and bad faith edit by you... Are you trying to stir up drama and make a flamefest, here, bob? It sure looks like it. Either that, or NOTHING you can say to or about me can possibly be objective, or free from the personal, the ad homimen attacks. Meh... --WanYao 01:36, 7 September 2009 (BST)
