| :::::AS raises an excellent point. We should look into supplying porn to the dramawhores of the wiki. I would estimate... an immediate 40% drop in the amount of pointless arguing. --[[User:Cyberbob240|Cyberbob]] <sup>[[DORIS]] [[CGR]] [[Project UnWelcome|U!]]</sup> 03:39, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

| :::No Jorm, that requires trust in the Moderators/SysOps, which we can't possibly ask for or have with the current promotions system, manner of promotions the 'crats run, and complete and utter lack of involvement on Kevan's part.--<small>[[User:Karek#K|Karek]]<sup><font face="Monotype Corsiva">[[User:Karek/ProjDev/OmegaMap|maps?!]]</font></sup></small> 04:00, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

| ::::::::I don't care if you have a vendetta or not. I couldn't care less. I'm simply saying, "this bullshit here - this massive level of obvious political infighting and maneuvering through pointlessly complex bureaucratic waters by irritating, sue-happy people over what amounts to pathetically small stakes of power - that is what drives people away." And this stupid little case you brought up? A perfect fucking example of that. You may be Conn's bestest fucking friend for all I know. I don't care; this looks like a political maneuver.--[[User:Jorm|Jorm]] 18:13, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

| :::::::::We trid to have a ''ignore all rules'' policy here, only to be taken down with this kind of thinking you complain about jorm... it's really sad the ammount of red tape one needs to handle to get one's job done. --{{User:Hagnat/sig}} 18:50, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
| |
| ::::::::::Well actually, in cases like this, the red tape would have been worth going through. When someone is having a shot at me, I deliberately try not to be the one to deal with them. A little red tape cuts down on the drama considerably... and I know which I'd rather deal with, myself <small>-- [[User:Boxy|boxy]] <sup>[[User talk:Boxy|talk]] • [[UDWiki:Image Categorisation|i]]</sup> 12:43 28 March 2008 (BST)</small>
| |
| :::::::::::Well, i agre with you that this is a case where red tape is needed. But by not ruling on cases you are involved you just displayed the common sense jorm was talking about, and the same common sense that is needed with the Ignore All Rules policy. --{{User:Hagnat/sig}} 13:34, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

| :Considering how fast certain members of the sysop team put other equally trivial/technical things on A/VB (especially when their group is involved) it's nice to see that a couple of them also think they should be accountable to the same set of standards. Less overall/less biased moderation might be preferable but given the precedent for how the wiki is run right now technicalities '''do''' matter for regular users (and thus should matter for sysops) and there were more than a couple of them with Conndraka's speedy action here. Kevan's hands-off approach is too often given as a defense for whatever, but once again this week I'm pleasantly surprised that the rules still do matter to some here. --[[User:Riseabove|Riseabove]] 04:39, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
