Someone read the suggestions page with less than the utmost sincerity?! Is nothing holy?! --Ron Burgundy 08:22, 16 April 2006 (BST)

Yes, I see that and it confuses me! I don't want to beat a dead horse our sound pretentious, but perhaps everyone's best friend, Epictetus, can help! "With regard to whatever objects either delight the mind, or contribute to use, or are tenderly beloved, remind yourself of what nature they are, beginning with the merest trifles: if you have a favorite cup, that it is but a cup of which you are fond, – for thus, if it is broken, you can bear it; if you embrace your child, or your wife, that you embrace a mortal, – and thus, if either of them dies, you can bear it." Stoicism may be a damn selfish philosophy, but he's got a point. There is perspective. Well, look at me, going on about nothing- and I'm not even drunk anymore! You stay Classy, The General. --Ron Burgundy 18:21, 16 April 2006 (BST)

Undeadinator has kindly pointed out the following and now you can assume that I have, as you asked, "Read. The. Rules."

• Humorous - If the removed Suggestion is eligible for Spamination, but is deemed humourous, you must:
  1. List the number of Spam Votes received.
  2. State that the Suggestion has been deemed humorous.
  3. Move the Suggestion to the Humorous Suggestions page.
  4. Link to the Suggestion on the Humorous Suggestions page.
  5. Sign the removal.
  6. Be Polite and make no additional comments.

The. Rules. seem to suggest that the suggestions page is intended for humerous suggestions, before they are deemed inappropriate, in their humor, and removed. Furthermore, I think I should point out that there are two types of humor, absurdity and satire. If there is to be no humor on the suggestions page, the latter, I'm sure you agree, is impossible. I think, perhaps, The. Rules. are outdated or your distaste for my suggestions has tainted your reading of them.

Yours Truely, --Ron Burgundy 00:32, 17 April 2006 (BST)

Further talk for ya[1]. --Ron Burgundy 20:46, 17 April 2006 (BST)

Sorry you didn't make it as a mod, next time you try, give me a heads-up and I'll support you again (and quicker this time)--Vista 16:20, 4 March 2006 (GMT)

Thanks, I will.--The General 16:07, 28 March 2006 (BST)

Spamination successful. Returning to base. --John Taggart 18:07, 19 Dec 2005 (GMT)

Roger that.--The General 18:09, 19 Dec 2005 (GMT)

Thank you for posting that link for the Church Bulletin Boards suggestion. At least some people read those things! Bentley Foss 18:55, 27 Dec 2005 (GMT)

I make a point of checking it every so often and I post a link whenever I find anything breaking them. They're good advice.--The General 17:15, 28 Dec 2005 (GMT)

"no temp stat boosts" is under the second keep it simple section in dos and do nots. --Signal9 22:00, 28 Dec 2005 (GMT)

Thanks, somehow I missed it.--The General 15:18, 29 Dec 2005 (GMT)

I left a note under your barricade items suggestion. --Daxx 17:51, 4 Jan 2006 (GMT)

Not sure if you're aware of that, but you have erased over half of the Mall Tour page yesterday. (not that I mind)
Oh the humanity... --The Fifth Horseman 09:59, 27 Jan 2006 (GMT)

Sorry, that wasn't supposed to happen.--The General 17:17, 27 Jan 2006 (GMT)

I have a question about spamination, can any user spaminate a suggestion once the proper number of spam votes are reached? or does it take a mod?--ramby 21:04, 29 Jan 2006 (GMT) Anyone can spaminate a suggestion.--The General 21:06, 29 Jan 2006 (GMT)Thank you very much for telling me that I will remember it. - --ramby 21:09, 29 Jan 2006 (GMT) I'm happy to help.--The General 21:13, 29 Jan 2006 (GMT)

As the last target of Spam-B-Gone before it is retired. Anyways, the guy who made it (Slavik) definitely posted it there on the suggestions page for spammerific reasons. And it wasn't even funny. Spam-B-Gone is designed to remove crap people post on the suggestions page because they wanted to post crap, thinking it was funny. AllStarZ 00:32, 30 Jan 2006 (GMT)

About the Traders suggestion: Sorry, I didn't mean it for you, although yes, it seems to read that way.
About the Cortical Surgery: I don't know about others, but what I meant by complexity wasn't coding, but the actual game mechanics. --Brizth ^W! 18:17, 13 Feb 2006 (GMT)

About the Traders suggestion: That's fine, I just didn't want to leave any doubt about the origin of the comment.

About the Cortical Surgery: I can see your point, it just looked like you were talking about coding.--The General 18:54, 13 Feb 2006 (GMT)

Regarding the suggestions page and upkeep. Since you have been far from regular in cycling the things through, i have taken it upon myself to do it (I believe the appropriate sound effect here is: "Yoink"). Also, since the previous days suggestions page was large, I created a series or archives for them all and shortened the page considerably. The thing is that im not particularly interested in spending 2-3 hours of my time arbitrarily enforcing a format on the removed suggestions, specifically with regards to how they are bullet pointed (There are four different varieties i have seen so far,  :, *, :*, and **. I'm trying to start up a discussion on the previously suggested discussion page, and I was wondering if you would like to join in, and if so, help out with the cleaning. Thanks in advance. --Grim s 04:03, 4 March 2006 (GMT)

Hey, you're doing great on the Speedeletes page, but when you serve requests can you archive them and empty the queue? It's not a big deal, it's just easier for you to do it while you're in the edit window than for someone else to come along and do it later...you can do it all in one edit if you just click the tab at the top rather than editing by section. Thanks!--'STER-Talk-Mod 21:17, 15 April 2006 (BST)

To completely strip it of any seriousness and meaning. --Grim s 14:21, 18 April 2006 (BST)

Arbitration

Good work, I am sure the right missquote offender was warned (hint: irony). Take a look at Ruinings good bye message for me. [2] --Xeeron 13:49, 1 Feb 2006 (GMT)

The edits made were unacceptable and have been reverted. I would recommend that you contact the moderation team.--The General 19:11, 4 Feb 2006 (GMT)

I have requested that you arbitrate a conflict between myself and Zombie Squad. Here it is. --Grim s 16:16, 28 March 2006 (BST)

I was wondering when someone would request arbitration about that.--The General 16:19, 28 March 2006 (BST)

Greetings. I am bigguyinblack one of the mods for the UD section of Zombie Squad. I hereby request that the the statements involving members of ZS zerging be stricken from our Wiki entry and the user known as Grim S. be asked to no longer edit our entry. We in turn will remove all comments regarding Grim S. The members who were accused of Zerging have long since stopped such practices and there is no need to continue harping on events that involved 2 members several months ago.

Please sign your votes, I have "cloned" your signature for you.--The General 13:01, 29 March 2006 (BST), sorry must of not clicked the button, will take more care in future, thanks

Hoot

NM issue solved without intervention. (wow, first time for that, I think..) -- Amazing 19:33, 2 April 2006 (BST)

Even more problems from trolls - I am not allowed to defend myself on the page, but did so on Rasher's talk page. At least you'll have a fair chance to contest it. -- Amazing 00:41, 3 April 2006 (BST)

For some reason Rasher is still saying you're in CDF. "On your page" refers to the CDF page, just FYI. -- Amazing 19:02, 3 April 2006 (BST)

It may be because I made the favourable arbitration desicion towards you, and because I sent one of my characters to help the CDF.--The General 19:13, 3 April 2006 (BST)

Try a profile link to the char Rash is referring to, General. MaulMachine 21:20, 3 April 2006 (BST)

Ok, i'll post it in the morning.--The General 21:30, 3 April 2006 (BST)

Here's some more Inflammatory info for the Vandal page in accordance with the Arbitration ruling. I went ahead and took it off. Though that might not be the smartest option for me, they have no right to post purposeful misinformation on the Wiki. I'm sure they have absolutely no belief in what they say. -- Amazing 22:43, 3 April 2006 (BST)

I will post a vandalism report for failiure to comply with an arbitration desicion in the morning.--The General 23:02, 3 April 2006 (BST)

Hooooooooooooooo-boy. -- Amazing 05:00, 4 April 2006 (BST)

Strike Breakers

put your name in members and record your hippy-kills in the tracking section. First one to 100 wins! --Zaruthustra-Mod 23:51, 3 April 2006 (BST)

Wow, General. Turns out you're a Griefer. That really disappointed me. (I'm not joking.) -- Amazing 03:59, 9 April 2006 (BST)

HAHAHA. He's mine now. (Your jackboots and fake mustache are in the mail General) --Zaruthustra-Mod 04:11, 9 April 2006 (BST)

Good luck doing anything. :) And for The General: You're PKing people who are already being PKed repeatedly by a griefer organization you're basically working with for no other reason than their personal opinion. To me, that's griefing. -- Amazing 18:23, 10 April 2006 (BST)

Congratulations!

Congratulations on your Promotion! -- Odd Starter ^{talk • Mod • W!} 14:16, 13 April 2006 (BST)

You the mod! man. Congratulations, Now, start banning users you slacker!--Vista ^W! 15:31, 13 April 2006 (BST)

Congratulations. May your ban hammer know no restraint. --Zaruthustra-Mod 20:04, 13 April 2006 (BST)

Congratulations man. I only hope to be next now :) --hagnat ^{t • w} 23:42, 13 April 2006 (BST)

We're all doomed! Doomed I tell you! Oh well, at least you're not Grim s (shudder). --Cyberbob240^CDF 08:12, 17 April 2006 (BST)

The entirety of GANKBUS

I'm sick and tired of GANKBUS repeatedly committing the exact same offence that Grim s accused me of. Except in their case, it's aimed at Amazing. I feel that Amazing truly wants an end to the conflict between him and the rest of the wiki (except for a few faithfuls). GANKBUS takes every opportunity to flame and insult Amazing. See their picture or this for prime examples. I firmly believe that the only reason they haven't been reported is because they've managed (like it would be difficult) to convert that faithful lapdog, Grim s to their cause. He would've reported them a LONG time ago if he didn't support them.

NOTE: The point of this comment is not to flame Grim s.--Cyberbob240^CDF 16:22, 18 April 2006 (BST)

I don't agree with what their doing either but there's a limited amount I can do about it. I'll see what I can do about it. Any evidence would be welcomed, the more evidence I have the stronger the case is.--The General ^{W! Mod} 16:32, 18 April 2006 (BST)

You actually seem to agree with what their doing since you've thrown your support behind them and are pretty much allied with them specifically against me and my group. That's just a fact. You're a little too involved with them to say you don't agree with their actions. -- Amazing 18:24, 18 April 2006 (BST)

I don't agree with their persistant Pking of you and I am not allied with them. The only group which I am associated with is Strike Breakers and my post on the GANKBUS page is only to negotiate a temporary truce while I fulfill my objective.--The General ^{W! Mod} 18:27, 18 April 2006 (BST)

You've got an off-site image (not linked to on the GANKBUS page), and a userpage. It has been long understood that User pages are the sole property of the user. Mpaturet is free to put whatever he wants on the page. --Lucero Capell 17:10, 18 April 2006 (BST)

That image appears frequently throughout the wiki. It just happens to be hosted offsite. And the User page link was to demonstrate the numerous anti-Amazing templates out there. --Cyberbob240^CDF 17:12, 18 April 2006 (BST)

I know it appears frequently throughout the wiki, but I'm curious as to what it has to do with GANKBUS. It's not linked on their page (which is the only page that I know of that the Arbitration ruling applies to, as well as being the only one that is currently under any sort of content restrictions). As for the ASSaultOnAmazing, it's a user template, just like the sacred ground policy one, saying they support the actions of the group. --Lucero Capell 17:17, 18 April 2006 (BST)

You've hit the nail on the head, it's not linked on the GANKBUS page and is therefore not covered by the arbitration ruling. That is why I need to either have more evidence or to have Amazing bring up an arbitration.--The General ^{W! Mod} 17:21, 18 April 2006 (BST)

I already gave you some: this and this. However, here is some more: this. --Cyberbob240^CDF 16:35, 18 April 2006 (BST)

You see, the problem is that there was an arbitratio case bettween Amazing and GANKBUS, Amazing won and consequently all inflamatory info was removed from the GANKBUS page. What we are seeing now is them trying to get round that desicion by simply making tags and letting other users flame him. If Amazing brought another arbitration case against them he would win but there's a limited amount I can do unless an official complaint is logged.--The General ^{W! Mod} 16:57, 18 April 2006 (BST)

*runs to Amazing's user page to spread the good word* --Cyberbob240^CDF 17:00, 18 April 2006 (BST)

It should be obvious to anyone who bothers to actually check the history of the ASSaultOnAmazing template that ASS created it, not GANKBUS.--Tehasskickars 19:18, 18 April 2006 (BST)

It know, and the arbitration case is against ASS, GANKBUS and several others.--The General ^{W! Mod} 19:27, 18 April 2006 (BST)

Look here, I changed those templates to fit my views. Amazing and Cyberbob have no goddamn right to choose what the hell I want on my user page. And how are the anti-amazing tags any different from Cyberbob's NoGrimS tag? Also...Woohoo! I'm evidence in a silly court!--Mpaturet 04:21, 19 April 2006 (BST)

Because the anti-Amazing tags are designed to insult Amazing. They include all sorts of degrading messages and images. My tag, on the other hand, is purely and simply a warning. No snide comments or insults there. --Cyberbob240^CDF 10:11, 19 April 2006 (BST)

I don't approve of your tag either but it's not as bad as the anti-amazing tags and doesn't really warrent action.--The General ^{W! Mod} 11:28, 19 April 2006 (BST)

Nice try Mpaturet. --Cyberbob240^CDF 11:33, 19 April 2006 (BST)

Moderator

thanks for your support.--Vista ^W! 14:17, 19 April 2006 (BST)

Thats ok, hope you make it as mod.--The General ^{W! Mod} 15:17, 19 April 2006 (BST)

Murder

I noticed that you warned Murder Twice already and he has impersonated/edited others comments again. [[3]] Is a ban in order?--Mpaturet 19:55, 20 April 2006 (BST)
