sorry, It was over a day old, I tried moving it but messed up the coding for it XD It's been a while since I edited a page on wiki. Shooty08 18:24, 31 July 2008 (BST)

Did you know?

	Shrooms!!
	This user realizes that you can make George Washington into a mushroom.

I would have done it on the SW wiki, but uploads are not really working at the moment as you know. - Jedaz^{ΣT MC ΞD GIS S! 14:22, 11 April 2007 (GMT)}

Hah, added. You know, we really must rescue some of the content off the scrollwars wiki, as some of those templates may be useful.--The General ^{T Sys U! P! F!} 18:20, 11 April 2007 (BST)

Warning

If you're going to leave me a warning, at least explain to me what I'm being warned for- as far as I can tell Ive received a first warning and a second warning for one edit removing some disparaging remarks made against me, when I didn't know the rules. So either add some explanation with your warning, or stick it where the sun don't shine. --Shantzman 02:21, 17 April 2007 (BST)

It's not my fault you didn't read the guidelines. Anyway, I quote you as saying:

Shantzman said:

Go ahead you pansy- see if I give a shit! --Shantzman 17:44, 14 April 2007 (BST)

. If you don't "give a shit", then get the fuck off my talk page and quit whining about it. If you've decided that you do, now, "give a shit", then the warning has done it's job.--The General ^{T Sys U! P! F!} 21:16, 18 April 2007 (BST)

Template on FAQ

Hi General, Just a drop by for this the template is in your comment Here would you mind removing it or me changing it so that the category can be removed?--Vista 18:16, 30 April 2007 (BST)

You may change to to remove the category. I'm having a mental blank as to how to do it, other than removing the template, at the moment. :P--The General ^{T Sys U! P! F!} 19:39, 30 April 2007 (BST)

FOR WHAT?

whose page did i mess with?--Sexualharrison ^{MR• ה •T} 21:48, 26 May 2007 (BST)

You changed a users page to this.--The General ^{T Sys U! P! F!} 08:05, 27 May 2007 (BST)

He is my friend, we are in the same group. I chat with him on a daily basis. unlike you I spoke with him about the edits and he found it funny. And I quote "Please note that all contributions to The Urban Dead Wiki may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors. If you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly, then don't submit it here" Try doing your homework before you jump to conclusions. And mind your own business.--Sexualharrison ^{MR• ה •T} 01:35, 30 May 2007 (BST)

The user in question has given not the slightest inclination that he wishes to have insults posted on his user page. Those lines are referring to articles, not signed comments. This is my business, as it was reported in vandal banning. The warning stands. If you feel this does not apply to you, then feel free to try it again so you can receive your second warning.--The General ^{T Sys U! P! F!} 01:54, 30 May 2007 (BST)

Reported by whom? just get a life, he's never on the wiki.--Sexualharrison ^{MR• ה •T} 05:19, 30 May 2007 (BST)

UDWiki:Administration/Vandal_Banning#Sexualharrison. As I said, feel free to continue vandalising if you think the rules do not apply to you, maybe you'll believe me that it's not allowed when you get your first ban?--The General ^{T Sys U! P! F!} 08:54, 30 May 2007 (BST)

Listen loser, it's not vandalising if I have permission from the User. Go look at his page now. feel better? dumbass. gosh I wish i could punch you through the interweb. and you can't ban me for calling you a overzealous janitor can you? when was the last time you got laid?--Sexualharrison ^{MR• ה •T} 19:50, 30 May 2007 (BST)

You have not received permission from the user. Being his "friend" doesn't automatically grant you permission to edit his page, he has to specifically state that he gives you permission to edit his page in any way you wish. Rule number one of winning an argument: Physically threatening the other side does not help you case, though I also wish you would try punching me xD. No, I can't ban your for that, but I could either get an arbitration ruling to have you leave me alone, or just delete this off my talk page. However, the former would be too much hassle and the latter actually helps you by removing the evidence of your stupidity.--The General ^{T Sys U! P! F!} 21:58, 30 May 2007 (BST)

Harrison, chill the feth out. And General, I'm sorry you have to deal with this on your own talk page of all places. I take it you posted that link above so Harrison can argue against his warning on the A/VB page?--Lachryma^☭ 19:56, 30 May 2007 (BST)

He asked who reported him, so I linked to the report. And, yeah, basically if he wants to complain against the warning then he is more than welcome to make a fool of himself there. He's not, however, going to get the warning retracted by insulting me.--The General ^{T Sys U! P! F!} 21:58, 30 May 2007 (BST)

Well, duh. People and their tempers...--Lachryma^☭ 00:12, 31 May 2007 (BST)

Your project

Hows that going along? I'm just a bit curious and I'm waiting to see what you've come up with so far. You can reply on the SW wiki (or e-mail me) if you want because I still check there on a regular basis. I just wasn't sure if you did (hence why I'm asking here) - Jedaz^{ΣT MC ΞD CT SR: 11:34, 27 May 2007 (GMT)}

Warning

I don't know what bad faith edits I made,I presume it was the Shackelivlle one but they were not for provoking or such and is factual information.Seloth 13:46, 01 july 2007

Montana8

Thanks dude.-- Vista  +1  13:06, 17 July 2007 (BST)

No problem.--The General ^{T Sys U! P! F!} 13:41, 17 July 2007 (BST)

Inquiry

Does this mean he has a warning for the impersonation? --Akule ^{School's in session.} 18:45, 21 July 2007 (BST)

In my opinion, he should receive one. however, i've had no word back from the other sysops on this matter.--The General ^{T Sys U! P! F!} 20:49, 21 July 2007 (BST)

Okay. I'll check back in a day or so. --Akule ^{School's in session.} 20:58, 21 July 2007 (BST)

So, what now? --Akule ^{School's in session.} 18:21, 28 July 2007 (BST)

Not much I can do, it seems i'm outvoted.--The General ^{T Sys U! P! F!} 22:54, 1 August 2007 (BST)

I noticed that this incident was deemed vandalism when Nalikill was trying to tone down wiki drama, yet when Gage impersonates me and tries to amp up the drama, he gets away with it. Would you mind warning Gage now? I understand the two other moderators prefer to protect Gage, but it'd just bring his total up to two warnings, with no further repercussions, and would show that even sysops (and ex-sysops) are really just like normal users and have to follow the rules. --Akule ^{School's in session.} 17:15, 27 August 2007 (BST)

I'll look into it again, see if there's anything I can do. If i'm outvoted, though, there's not much I can do.--The General ^{T Sys U! P! F!} 19:30, 27 August 2007 (BST)

Warning??

What the hell am I getting a warning for? --M4dD mUdD 00:24, 25 August 2007 (BST)

You blanked a page. See M/VB.--The General ^{T Sys U! P! F!} 00:26, 25 August 2007 (BST)

And your point is what? It's not a individual user page. It is unapproved information that is not put out by the DEM and should not be on the wiki at all--M4dD mUdD 00:34, 25 August 2007 (BST)

By that reasoning all PKer lists maintained on the wiki should be wiped too. --Karek^maps?! 01:11, 25 August 2007 (BST)

are those pker lists on a group page? Just wondering since it appears you're trying to say that there's all sorts of pk lists on the wiki that aren't housed on a given groups group page? Otherwise I could just make a list of any old group I want and post it and demand that it be taken seriously.--Kristi of the Dead 05:33, 25 August 2007 (BST)

The newfag in Shearbank mad a list of DARIS 2.0 members and it isn't housed on a group page. But no one is removing it because we're not fucking retarded when it comes to wiki rules. Something the DEM has no knowledge of... --Sonny Corleone ^{RRF DORIS CRF pr0n} 07:54, 25 August 2007 (BST)

why does the wiki not have an eyeroll emoticon? It's a list not a roster stolen from your private forums. And where is this list of naughty DARIS members?--Kristi of the Dead 08:57, 25 August 2007 (BST)

It is a community page. Just because the DEM do not wish it to be there doesn't give you the right to blank it.--The General ^{T Sys U! P! F!} 07:50, 25 August 2007 (BST)

our roster stolen from our private forums is a community page?--Kristi of the Dead 08:57, 25 August 2007 (BST)

Once it is posted on this wiki, yes. It's not our job to mediate in-game disputes or to encourage censorship.--The General ^{T Sys U! P! F!} 09:53, 25 August 2007 (BST)

So you're saying that it doesn't matter what gets posted only that it was posted? It's not censorship nor is it an in game dispute...this was purely out of game. It just makes so little sense to me that someone could post just about anything with any groups name on it and have it be protected is all.--Kristi of the Dead 12:58, 25 August 2007 (BST)

Now here is what I'm wondering. Why do you even care? You're a survivor group so it's not like it's overly difficult information to get and compile independently, the end result is exactly the same and the process really isn't effected(as they could still walk into a room and see one of your members due to them being a survivor). Wasn't aware it was information that was taken from you through crude and disgraceful means, but really, what does it matter anyway?--Karek^maps?! 21:33, 25 August 2007 (BST)

To be honest it doesn't make any difference I suppose. I just didn't want to be complacent on this style of play Rather than being accepted as something trivial. The roster thing isn't so bad but the problem is that they will continue to play like this and if some friends of mine hadn't warned me they'd still have members on our forums spying on us and passing out passwords. It's poor sportsmanship that I have a problem with really.--Kristi of the Dead 14:45, 26 August 2007 (BST)

What i'm saying is that it is not our job to delete pages because a group doesn't like them (unless, of course, it passes a vote on the deletions page, neither do we wish to set a precedent of allowing page blanking if someone doesn't think the information should be displayed.--The General ^{T Sys U! P! F!} 14:22, 26 August 2007 (BST)

I see what you're saying and agree the page shouldn't be blanked thanks for your time.--Kristi of the Dead 14:45, 26 August 2007 (BST)

A new bureaucrat round has started

And you are a candidate. good luck.-- Vista  +1  23:09, 3 September 2007 (BST)

Thanks for telling me. Looks like i'm not going to be elected, though.--The General ^{T Sys U! P! F!} 21:29, 5 September 2007 (BST)

It seems hagnat and me are sucking all the oxygen out of the race. As soon as there are three or two candidates with a lead in votes they get all the votes from then forwards. Especially if you have so many candidates. A lot of people aren't getting the votes they should.-- Vista  +1  14:25, 8 September 2007 (BST)

McZeds

Can I ask why you reverted McZeds' page, when you haven't been elected to lead the group? Just because Not-So-Amazing founded it, doesn't give him any power over it now. It's a takeover of a MIA management, supported by all the (active) stores. Also, if you check it isn't Vandalism. Look, I'm trying to fix up the group again, and a long-dead management isn't going to help.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Stuartbman (talk • contribs) 20:29, 10 September 2007.

The group pages are the sole property of the group leader. Thus, claiming leadership yourself and making major changes to the page without the blessing of the group leader was vandalism.--The General ^{T Sys U! P! F!} 21:21, 10 September 2007 (BST)

I am group leader, as of July 16th. The original leader went MIA 6 months ago. Please stop the reverts or you will be reported to VB.--The-Not-So-Late Stuartbman The Third ^{MBE OBE} 22:22, 10 September 2007 (BST)

No, you are not. You were not appointed by the group leader, you merely voted yourself to be leader. In fact, it is you who risks the vandal report, not me.--The General ^{T Sys U! P! F!} 22:37, 10 September 2007 (BST)

Y'all might want to stop the edit war and take it to Arbitration. Nalikill 22:38, 10 September 2007 (BST)

Done, go to AA, General.--The-Not-So-Late Stuartbman The Third ^{MBE OBE} 22:57, 10 September 2007 (BST)

WHOOPS

Sorry, I accidentally deleted one of your templates, Ill try to put it back now...should be done. Ill accept any punishment you give. --Molh394 3:13, 13 September 2007 (GMT)

Happy belated Wiki birthday!

*Gives The General a shiny badge with "I am two!" written on it.* --Toejam 01:19, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Hey, thanks! It's weird to think just how long I've spent on this wiki *Insert long lecture on how things were in the good ol' days* :P.--The General ^{T Sys U! P! F!} 17:17, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

VB and Sockem

I think what he needs is a chance to calm down; do everyone a favor, please, by not replying again, it's clearly not helping him. He said on his talk page he's having a bad day; all replying does is make him angrier, and you know that if you rule on it, he's going to launch a misconduct case that will cause huge amounts of drama, as such cases always do. So please, let another sysop handle it; preferably Boxy or Vista, or someone that Sockem would consider neutral.  Nalikill  ^{TALK  E!  W!  M!  USAI}  22:42, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Of couese I do. I haven't ruled because I know it would cause way more drama than it's worth (Though I doubt that it would be ruled against me). As my opinion has already been registered, I will take your advice and refrain from replying to him again.--The General ^{T Sys U! P! F!} 23:06, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

A/VB

Yes, you are right, but it isn't right that a user attacks another user.--  Savant  Chit-Chat  13:22, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

I agree with you that Cyberbob was probably wrong to do it, but there's no rule against it.--The General ^{T Sys U! P! F!} 16:12, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

But there should be a rule. And that is the problem with this wiki. People still think that it's okay to say someone "Die Bitch" or just make an insulting picture.--  Savant  Chit-Chat  16:59, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

The problem with such rules is that they're often easy to abuse or get around. Also, the picture Cyberbob used is in no way insulting in itself, it was insulting only because of the way he used it. Midianian|T|T:S|C:RCS| 17:20, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

If you ban insults in the form of pictures, you have to ban verbal ones too. Also, Savant's site is infinitely worse than my picture. I'm not sure where he gets off complaining. "IT WAZ IN DEFENCE!111111" doesn't cut it, I'm afraid. --Cyberbob ^{DORIS CGR U!} 17:41, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

If pictures and "bad" words were banned, this would be a better place.--  Savant  Chit-Chat  19:41, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Do you mean swearwords? You can insult people without swearing. And how do you define an insulting picture anyway? Or do you mean all pictures? --Midianian|T|T:S|C:RCS| 19:46, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Interesting that you chose to respond in worse kind, actually lowering yourself below me. Congrats. --Cyberbob ^{DORIS CGR U!} 19:51, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

It's true. You can insult someone without using swear words. Watch. Savant is an annoying fool for posting such a malicious link. Mind you that was just an example, using the discussion context. What I actually think is a mystery to everyone, including me.-- dǝǝɥs oʇ ɯɐds: sʎɐʍ1ɐ! 20:24, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Open Discussion regarding ParserFunctions extension

Since you've shown interest in this subject in the past, I thought I'd let you know that I've started an Open Discussion regarding Arguments for-and-against the ParserFunctions extension. I'd appreciate any constructive comments you might be able to provide there. Thanks! --Morgan Blair 06:46, 17 May 2008 (BST)

Inactive sysop demotion thing

You have been absent from this wiki for four months. As per This policy you have one week to demonstrate a return to this wiki to retain your sysop status. Alternatively you could request demotion under the bid on your page, or simply remain inactive. If you fail to return to the wiki after one week has elapsed, you will be demoted. I am also emailing this message to you. --The Grimch ^{U! E!} 15:43, 27 July 2008 (BST)

Nice to see you, too, Grim. I think I might just be coming back.--The General ^{T Sys U! P! F!} 17:22, 27 July 2008 (BST)

I wasnt required to send you the email, FYI. --The Grimch ^{U! E!} 17:26, 27 July 2008 (BST)

Thank you, then. If my message was taken as an insult, it really wasn't meant to be; merely a rather poor joke.--The General ^{T Sys U! P! F!} 17:46, 27 July 2008 (BST)

Nah. Its just that as usual i am being subject to some sniping. Not as bad as st the turn of the year, but i have the defenses up and zapping people left and right (Sorry if it seemed like i was getting annoyed with you). Anyway, much has changed. Vista and Hagnat are gone, and im now the second crat. Im still not entirely sure how that happened. Also, we lost five other sysops. And there are a few new faces. Oh, and suggestions is rather slow at the moment, what with all the enraged wikizens armed with spam cannons, theough Talk:Suggestions may almost bring you to tears at the stupidity. --The Grimch ^{U! E!} 17:54, 27 July 2008 (BST)

Don't worry, just trying not to cause any offense. I can't remember a time when you weren't being attacked for one of your decisions, I particularly love the "I agree with you but am going to argue about it anyway" thing going on at Promotions Talk. Well, I can't say Hagnat is any great loss to us. I'm not sure who else was on the list, meaning they weren't memorable. You ending up a 'crat is certainly surprising, I'll read up on how that one happened. I just took a look at Talk:Suggestions and I now feel like killing myself; or, at least, killing most of the people who suggested them.--The General ^{T Sys U! P! F!} 19:09, 27 July 2008 (BST)

Welcome Back

Welcome back. :P -- Cheese 18:52, 28 July 2008 (BST)

Hi, it's good to be back. I see you have now joined the sysop, so here is a very late congratulations!--The General ^{T Sys U! P! F!} 20:31, 28 July 2008 (BST)

Meh

Whatever. It is just totally out of context there. While i agree the decision or whatever you want to call it should be on the front page i think that as the user it addresses my response should appear there too. apparently you disagree so i'm gonna dupe grim's decision post so it is on both the talk (to give my comments context) and on the front page (so people can see the verdict without having the clutter of my response).--xoxo 09:38, 29 July 2008 (BST)

Discussion of the bid should take place on the talk page, I believe that is standard procedure, we do not want to clutter the main page. I agree that Grim's post should also be on the front page so people know the decision. If you want, you can add a note saying that discussion was moved to the talk page.--The General ^{T Sys U! P! F!} 10:10, 29 July 2008 (BST)

I'm fine with Grim's post on both pages as it is atm.--xoxo 10:12, 29 July 2008 (BST)

Well, so am I. It's agreed then.--The General ^{T Sys U! P! F!} 11:43, 29 July 2008 (BST)

nods. And welcome back to the wiki following your extended absence.--xoxo 11:55, 29 July 2008 (BST)

delete.

Thanks. I knew there was something I forgot to do. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 17:32, 4 August 2008 (BST)

No problem.--The General ^{T Sys U! P! F!} 17:33, 4 August 2008 (BST)

Permabanned Users

I know you haven't been around for a bit, but it seems that members of the team are open to reviewing previous vandal banning cases in order to bring them up to date with this policy. Does this work for you? --Akule ^{Maker of fine, hand-crafted UDWiki sass since 2006 -- Akule School's back in session™} 20:49, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I'd be OK with that. I'll post a comment there tomorrow.--The General ^{T Sys U! P! F!} 22:58, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Works for me. --Akule ^{Maker of fine, hand-crafted UDWiki sass since 2006 -- Akule School's back in session™} 23:04, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

So...

Have you started puberty yet? --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 08:47, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

I assume you are upset because I ruled that your opinion isn't law. You haven't changed much in these 2 years.--The General ^{T Sys U! P! F!} 08:55, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Butt, hurt.--CyberRead240 11:15, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

No, I'm saying it now because you haven't said anything in so long I pretty much forgot about you. --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 13:11, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Policy

I'm sorry, but I removed your policy from voting, it's got at least one section that needs work on it to make it clear what it's saying, and the old discussion was more than a month ago. I think new users need a chance to have their say, as well as everyone else being allowed to reconsider -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 05:15 24 December 2008 (BST)

I will correct the unclarity and spelling mistakes, thanks for pointing it out. On the matter of discussion: I believe everything that can be said about the policy has been said and replied to, the only thing left to do is troll or repeat the same aguments. It'll probably stay in "discussion" until I get round to fixing it, but I don't see the need for another 3 days of time-wasting when nothing new can really be added.--The General ^{T Sys U! P! F!} 09:23, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

OK, if you think it's as good as it'll get, anytime is fine. Sorry for butting in -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 09:50 24 December 2008 (BST)

Well, I'm happy to take comments but most of them seem to be either "This is good" or they take the Iscariot line of "This is absolute bullshit I hate you all!!!!!!!". I'm still open to any reasonable (read: Technically implementable) suggestions if there's anything you want to bring to my attention.--The General ^{T Sys U! P! F!} 13:46, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Pretty sure it has to stay the three days minimum. Even if it's just so we can actually see what has changed between the two, if anything.--Karek^maps?! 10:35, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

It doesn't because what I'm effectively doing is moving a policy from "Under Discussion" to voting and rewording slightly as I do. It is currently under discussion until I fix the mistakes and everyond is welcome to comment.--The General ^{T Sys U! P! F!} 13:46, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Wiki

I suppose deleting pages (Images exempt) within the namespace of the user currently logged in would be outside the realm of functionality of this version of MediaWiki? Also, is it possible to have a template (or Extension) determine whether or not a link is valid (points to an existing article/page), and then if valid, a link; If not, text, Perhaps a symbol to signify the type of 'link'. _■^■ 18:24, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
