Misanthropy

Misanthropy (talk | contribs | logs | block | IP Check | vndl data | discuss)

I've been thinking about this for a few weeks, was going to put it off but I can't really see a reason to. I've been active here for about 8-9 months, I guess, and apart from personal upkeep of group and user stuff, I'm mostly concerned with weighing in on suggestions, scheduled deletions, and all that community niceness. I'd like to be able to take a more pro-active role in tackling vandals, doing the deletions that're scheduled, and probably tackling the merged locations, and sysop access would save a bunch of time in the latter. I'm currently a sysop over at the Teletraan I Transformers wiki, so I'm not new to the interface, and I'll not be fucking about with buttons I'm not really meant to. Also you know you need someone to be the dashing face of this operation. 06:48, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

  Usually you put a question mark after a rhetorical question. Or just fail at english, that's cool too! xoxo 10:47, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

• Vouch - Mis knows his stuff. He'd be a good Sysop here. Goribus 07:46, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
• Weak Against - Great guy, average contribution rate, most of which are either just group/user stuff. Love your presence in the community though. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 08:18, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
• Vouch Strong Vouch - In all honesty I thought with the whole transformers thing he might have been a cock, but he appears level headed and generally interested in maintaining the wiki. However Questions What do you think the wiki needs to do to become a more useful tool? AND if I was writing down the noise a transformer makes when it transforms, how would I spell it? --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 08:57, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Aw, shucks. If you're referring to the whole wiki/wikia split, it's a petty heap of shit that I avoided from day one, since it was the kind of drama that no amount of giving-a-care would help. As for your questions, first answer is to attempt to get a more active base for detailing recent events, as the wiki currently seems like the obituary for a fun game from a few years back, rather than one that's still very active. A more active userbase on the wiki would also increase turnover for things like suggestions and policy discussions, and could be drummed up with threads on the major forums (Brainstack, PKA, Hub, Barhah, etc). The answer to your second question is (IPA) [ʒʌ ʒoʊ ʒʌ ʒoʊ ʒiː] 09:15, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

• Against - you seem fine but for some reason you give me the impression that you're an alt of someone else...probably just wiki competence and you sorta came from nowhere in my view. But with the whole nubis thing just behind us it's like, eh. xoxo 10:05, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

  I'll reply on your talk page in more detail, but, to summarize, please don't save that last Vouch for me. —Aichon— 22:38, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Vouch - The many vouches have caused me to reconsider, and on closer examination I see that Misanthropy is a fast learner and does a lot of good. Baa-aa-aa-aa-aa :P--_GANG Giles Sednik _CAPD 02:01, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

• Vouch - Seems to know what he's doing. --DBHT 15:33, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
• VouchAbstain - Why aren't you better known? Maybe because you are most active in the boring sections of the wiki (suburbs/groups/events etc) and not the drama-heavy sections (suggestions/admin.) Isn't that a good thing? --Explodey 16:02, 19 November 2009 (UTC) Withdrawn. This may have proved me wrong. Sysops need to be more careful than the rest of us about throwing words like "vandal" around inappropriately. --Explodey 22:57, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

• Weak Against Keep - I don't actually see why you need sysop buttons; since you mainly do user/group work, it seems like you'd be getting op abilities just for the purpose of having them. I'll change my vote to an abstain or something stronger if you tell me what you plan to do for the wiki.

  Not to mention "We can never have too many sysops" A quote from an even mightier guru. Your values are flawed in this system. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 22:33, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

• Vouch - Even if too many people want promotion, I can't see him being a negative inffluence. --^TCAPD(╯°□°)╯ ┻━┻ 22:18, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
• Vouch - This was almost an abstain. I've definitely seen you around, and in places like suggestions, I've found myself saying "As Misanthropy" more than any other person, since it seems that our opinions align on a lot of things. That said, I haven't really been witness to your presence in some of the areas you're interested in, since I've only just started watching the drama parts of the wiki, so I don't know how you'll handle them (my fault, not yours). That said, I do trust your opinions to be well-considered and to look at the situation from all angles, so you have my support. —Aichon— 22:38, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

  Put simply, we can clean up after him long enough for him to learn the ropes.-- SA 23:01, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

  Essentially, but that loses all of the nuance and struggle that went into forming my opinion. Plus, I suck at being concise. If brevity is the soul of wit, then I've got to be the most idiotic person you'll ever meet. —Aichon— 23:09, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

  I've noticed your inability to simplify things for my lesser brethren. 'Tis okay my fine friend, I'm sure you'll find a more satisfactory and less easily destroyed opinion to use!-- SA 23:28, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

• Abstain Against - You seem to be great, but I don't really know you, or how you'd deal with things. Also, too many of your edits seem to be about your own group or userspace.--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 10:51, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

  Alright, I've just run through your last 500 edits to check I'm right, and I drummed out that 265 of your last 500 edits were on your own group or user page. Or their talks, templates, etc. Now, you might get a weak vouch out of me from that, but the fact that 105 of those edits were made shortly after DDR's comment that you needed less user comments makes me kind of less inclined to.--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 11:02, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

  Moved to talk page. --Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 19:13, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

• Against - Quite beside the fact that I have almost no idea who you are (moar drama plox), there also appears to be quite a high number of people who hardly use the wiki voting "Vouch". No thanks.-- Adward  16:57, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

  Thirded, isn't that enough to consider an official bid? --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 18:55, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

  While he is still qualified in the ways indicated above, the dumb fuck apparently does not know the rules regarding what constituents vandalism. Ignorance of this magnitude cannot be tolerated. Sorry, not even worthy of taking out my fucking trash. Sad.--
