Nubis

Since when did Nubis become the sysop pinata? Last time I checked, he was doing a lot to keep this wiki going. --Akule ^{Maker of fine, hand-crafted UDWiki sass since 2006 -- Akule School's back in session™} 18:18, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Three cases in as many weeks, all concerning the same fucking thing. He doesn't learn or take into account that these cases are being brought because the community expects and demands that he follow the policies laid down. His combative attitude and the inability of the rest of the sysop team to follow the same policies and rule misconduct are just exacerbating the situation. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 18:27, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Combative? By basically saying one thing to defend myself then ignoring the page for a while I am being combative? I'm more combative when I defend others. Maybe the rest of the sysop team are applying motive and intent to the actions instead of just blindly following policy. I guess you aren't used to seeing "humans" review these cases instead of the Grim machine. --– Nubis ^NWO 03:58, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

I was under the impression that the stance was that sysops were considered to be trusted users and that "System operators, as trusted users of the wiki, are given the right to make judgment calls and use their best discretion on a case-by-case basis. Should the exact wording of the policies run contrary to a system operators' best good-faith judgment and/or the spirit of the policies, the exact wording may be ignored. " Although, we can apply that to anything can't we? ;) --Akule ^{Maker of fine, hand-crafted UDWiki sass since 2006 -- Akule School's back in session™} 02:18, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

That would be the problem that comes with using it to freely, yes. Although, since the one major problem that does come up is that deleting templates increases the unused images list and fast-tracks some images to the scheduled deletions pile there certainly are some reasons why it might be worth mentioning before doing, much like we don't delete transclusion only pages on site(all recruitment adverts). An argument can be made why this isn't regularly advise-able and that seems to be the whole point.--Karek^maps?! 23:52, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

He's caught the Hagnat flu. Although some of it is just people jonesing for Grimotene.--Karek^maps?! 21:13, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

You speak like the Hagnat flu is a bad thing... boy i wish that was more contageous --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{talk mod} 21:19, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

It's normally innocent and harmless resulting in a stuffy nose and light head but, sometimes it can get real bad and lead to lack of memory and eventual demotion.--Karek^maps?! 21:28, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

"...deep down inside you long for a cold-hearted sysop to lower the rate of stupid suggestions, brutalize vandals, and rule you like a King!" --Akule ^{Maker of fine, hand-crafted UDWiki sass since 2006 -- Akule School's back in session™} 02:18, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
