Discussion

Thoughts on this? The precedent would be this if it was Misconduct.--User:Yonnua Koponen/signature2 17:40, 6 August 2010 (BST)

I noticed it as well. You're not suppose to edit a protected page unless it's a necessary administrative edit, otherwise it's abuse of sysops power. --Umbrella-White.pngThadeous OakleyUmbrella-White.png 17:54, 6 August 2010 (BST)
You agree? I'm thinking of taking it to A/M, pending Mis' response here.--User:Yonnua Koponen/signature2 17:55, 6 August 2010 (BST)
Technically? Yeah, you have a case if you ask me. In the spirit of the rules it's misconduct. But, it may very well be a mistake. I don't know exactly how it works as a sysops, but maybe he didn't realize it was protected and thus it was an accident. But even on purpose, it's slap on the wrist/soft warning material considering the content, though actual misconduct if you're strict. In my opinion. --Umbrella-White.pngThadeous OakleyUmbrella-White.png 18:13, 6 August 2010 (BST)
Well, that's why I'm asking his opinion. When you edit a protected page, a giant red notice appears, so mistakes are unlikely, but even if it was, in the SA precedent I linked he claimed it was a mistake.--User:Yonnua Koponen/signature2 18:32, 6 August 2010 (BST)
I'm aware SA claimed it as a mistake, that's why I left that accident option open. I didn't know about red notice your talking about, though it still leaves the option he didn't know it wasn't allowed. Which is the most likely case scenario here then, unless he knew it wasn't allowed, but Mis is better than that so I doubt it. --Umbrella-White.pngThadeous OakleyUmbrella-White.png 18:38, 6 August 2010 (BST)
I actually didn't notice it being protected at the time, I was just responding to Poodle. Nothing to be done! 21:59, 6 August 2010 (BST)
There's also a difference in the nature of the posts. After all, calling them a penis is not exactly the same as writing a frowny face. Aichon 22:01, 6 August 2010 (BST)
Both are trolling comments which were unnecessary. However, Mis has a history of making stupid errors when posting (e.g. newbie welcomes on user pages instead of talks) so I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt with this one.--User:Yonnua Koponen/signature2 22:06, 6 August 2010 (BST)
If you still think it's Misconduct, Thad, feel free to take it to Misconduct anyway, but I doubt the case will be successful.--User:Yonnua Koponen/signature2 22:07, 6 August 2010 (BST)
I wasn't trolling this time (and you know I'd admit if I was). I was genuinely dismayed at losing a valuable laughing stock and wanted Poodle to know I wasn't just kidding about it. And i r not stoopid. :( Nothing to be done! 22:08, 6 August 2010 (BST)
Minus the part about Poodle, that's how I read it, especially given your vote in the permaban and the comment with it. Aichon 22:22, 6 August 2010 (BST)
Still, if he'd known it was protected, it would be misconduct, and that's the important thing.--User:Yonnua Koponen/signature2 22:23, 6 August 2010 (BST)
Hey now, why do get the live grenade/hot potato thrown into my hands? I don't and didn't have the intention of bringing this to misconduct, merely stating that it could be brought. Personally speaking, nothing more then soft warning, and not worthy of true misconduct. Dealing with this through his talk page is best and that's what happened. @Aichon, trolling or not, it was unnecessary and therefore abuse whether intentional or not. Also, the edit in question should probably be reverted if it hasn't been already. --Umbrella-White.pngThadeous OakleyUmbrella-White.png 22:28, 6 August 2010 (BST)
Edit conflicted.--Umbrella-White.pngThadeous OakleyUmbrella-White.png 22:28, 6 August 2010 (BST)
I figured that would be your opinion, I was just informing you that I had no intention of bringing it, and that if you did, you'd still have a case if you wanted to.--User:Yonnua Koponen/signature2 22:30, 6 August 2010 (BST)
Oh, I agree that it was not right for him to post it, don't get me wrong, and I briefly considered A/Ming him over it as well, before deciding it wasn't worth it (it wasn't until later that I saw this stuff here). As you said, soft warning is all that's really necessary. And yeah, it should be reverted...off to do that. Aichon 23:00, 6 August 2010 (BST)

Your Signature

It's broken. I'm busy with other stuff/too lazy to tell you what's wrong to fix it myself, so good luck. Aichon 02:38, 8 August 2010 (BST)

Argh. I'll go check now. Nothing to be done! 02:39, 8 August 2010 (BST)
Fixed. Nothing to be done! 02:40, 8 August 2010 (BST)

Help

The Group Box on our group page now looks pretty messed up. You'll notice it immediately. Can you help me make it look a little more normal? - Poodle of Doom 17:59, 8 August 2010 (BST)

I've had a look and I can't see an easy fix for it. If you'd like I could manually code the box with alterations to make it fit better, as it seems the problem is due to the cells being equally spaced instead of skewed to one side as would be preferred. Nothing to be done! 18:04, 8 August 2010 (BST)
Yeah,... I'm okay with that. To be honest, I tried to steal the code from the Groupbox Template, to manually edit it,... but couldn't make heads or tails of the sizing and spacing, or where it was even at in the code. I figured I'd just screw it up and make it worse, so instead of screwing around for 15 to 20 minutes, just to hit the same brick wall, I just cut my losses and asked for help. If you're up to giving me the code, I'd be happy to implement it, and if it works the way I like, I'll create a new group template for that spot. - Poodle of Doom 18:09, 8 August 2010 (BST)

Thanks for your help. I greatly appreciate it! - Poodle of Doom 19:19, 8 August 2010 (BST)

You should also be able to change the colours in that quite easily. That version uses the original colour words, though I prefer to use hex for colours. User:Misanthropy/MainKnight uses pretty much the same coding for that box in its character box, to show you how it might look with alternate colouring. Nothing to be done! 19:21, 8 August 2010 (BST)
Yeah,... I've been playing with that a little bit. I'm trying to redesign my groups mainspace... people keep telling me its to bland, and lacks effort.... so I'm going to redesign all of it.... - Poodle of Doom 20:59, 8 August 2010 (BST)

I just have to ask... what do you think of our new layout? - Poodle of Doom 01:50, 9 August 2010 (BST)

Everything looks grand except for the blue on grey, it's quite hard to make out. Nothing to be done! 01:52, 9 August 2010 (BST)
What color would you suggest? - Poodle of Doom 02:18, 9 August 2010 (BST)
Just a different shade. Either a darker blue, or a lighter grey. Nothing to be done! 02:22, 9 August 2010 (BST)
I'll probably use a darker blue... just because I wanted the links blue, like the standard links,... so people would know they were links. - Poodle of Doom 02:29, 9 August 2010 (BST)
I meant lighten the background grey so there's more contrast and the blue stands out better. Nothing to be done! 02:33, 9 August 2010 (BST)
I tell you what, I just darkened all the blue links,... check it out again, and let me know what you think about it. If you don't like it the way it is let me know, and I'll go the other way. - Poodle of Doom 02:39, 9 August 2010 (BST)
Yeah, that's easier to make out. Nothing to be done! 02:51, 9 August 2010 (BST)
Cool. - Poodle of Doom 02:59, 9 August 2010 (BST)

Nudge

Thought this might interest you. Aichon 20:48, 8 August 2010 (BST)

Already responded. Tongue :P Nothing to be done! 20:48, 8 August 2010 (BST)

Barry bonds

You might be interested that the new user that you welcomed, Barry bonds, has done nothing but vandalizing my entries to insult me. I'm sure he is BarryBonds756, a Pitneybank PKer whom I've been in conflict with. Looks like he couldn't find me in-game, so he pathetically attacked me on the Wiki instead.

I'll just revert back the vandalism and leave his case to your judgment. -- Kittithaj 04:17, 9 August 2010 (BST)

Bring it to A/VB, don't take it to a specific sysop as there's nothing we can do outside of the system except revert damage.
Got it posted. - Poodle of Doom 04:25, 9 August 2010 (BST)
I normally have no idea what to do in this case. I can't be bothered with all those Wiki bureaucracy. So thanks for sorting that out. -- Kittithaj 04:38, 9 August 2010 (BST)

VB

Read my comments on the Akdov case. I think you'll find he was making an error whilst trying to change a mall's status.--User:Yonnua Koponen/signature2 21:07, 9 August 2010 (BST)


I have no idea when you'd actually use it, but...
