I am not perfect. Sometimes I make mistakes, sometimes I go a little overboard and sometimes I can be a bit of a dick '';P'' ... However, be aware that I do not make major edits to the wiki (and in particular those ones which tend to cause the most "controversy") without ''damn good reason''... So if you want to discuss any such matters, I expect the discussions to respect and try to understand the reasons behind those edits, even if you do not agree with them.
Thanks for your time. ;)

About the suggestions talk page, i'm continuing that discussion with you on my talk page, just so you are aware. - [[User:Tylerisfat|tylerisfat]] 03:29, 29 August 2008 (BST)
Gong-show? That's just cold. Cold! Anyways, what do you want me to do with your suggestion? Do you want me to make a place-holder that you will fill in later? I assume that you are in the Survivor/Zombie/DN camp but since I have seen it all on this wiki I thought it would be best to check with you directly. Feel-free to edit the listing by [[User:MHSstaff/Projects/TestingGrounds2|'''your name here.''']] Welcome back btw.-[[MHS|<span style="color: Black">'''MHS'''</span>]][[User_Talk:MHSstaff|<span style="color: DarkBlue">'''staff'''</span>]] 23:21, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

==Banana Tactics==
Just to clarify, was your vote on the [[A/D#Recent Actions|Banana Tactics deletion]] an abstention or a keep vote?--{{User:Yonnua Koponen/signature‎}} 12:30, 23 May 2010 (BST)


== Excuse me... ==
sup. {{User:J3D/ciggy}} 12:24, 24 May 2010 (BST)


...I would contact you on the appropriate forums, IRC channel, or talk page if I knew exactly which forums, IRC channel, or talk page that you are referring to or I would contact you in-game if had a way to do so. Seeing as how those methods of contacting you are beyond my grasp, I'll contact you here, as the wiki is apparently not too unworthy of your time for you to keep correcting my activity. About that, though your response was a bit aggressive in tone, I just want to clear things up in saying that the spam/vandalism that you've scolded me for has been completely unintentional. If I'm erring, its because I lack editing propriety (which I apparently do), not because I'm trying to manipulate this wiki to suit my own agenda, as you seem to imply.
==Policy and "Nubis"==
See [[User_talk:Nubis]] if you haven't already. --'''[[User:BobBoberton|<span style="color: #FF4500">Bob Boberton</span>]] <sup>[[The_Fortress|<span style="color: #6B8E23">TF</span>]] / [[The_Fortress/Dark_Watch|<span style="color: #778899 ">DW</span>]]</sup>''' [[Image:Littlemudkipsig.gif]] 16:24, 9 September 2009 (BST)
:Thanks... I am aware of that... but...
::a) Until it's confirmed by "independent sources", I don't believe a word of it. It's probably some dumb practical joke, goons think that kind of stuff is soooooooo funny
::b) I don't really care. If the accounts are socks, then they'll be banned and "nubis" demoted. Simple.  
:Seriously, if it were true, why hasn't Nubis been banned/demoted, why hasn't a case been posted about it? Until such time as it's confirmed, I'll be proceeding with all discussions comme d'habitude. --[[User:WanYao|WanYao]] 16:30, 9 September 2009 (BST)
::Especially if we go back and look at voting since the "grimmy" sysop thing.  I'm fairly sure Nubis and DCC have voted on some of the same things.--{{User:AnimeSucks/Sig}} 18:20, 9 September 2009 (BST)

This is ass, man.  A lot of fine suggestions never go through [[Talk: Suggestions]], and Jon doesn't spam the suggestion page; if anything, his suggestions have a better signal to noise ratio than average.  [[User:Jon_Pyre#Suggestions|A lot of them are quite good]], and helpful to zombies.  {{User:Swiers/Sig}} 22:03, 25 August 2008 (BST)

:Strange that you ignore everything he's done for the last 2 years on the suggestions page for things he's claimed to have suggested that were suggested multiple times by multiple people 2-3 years ago. He's gotten better about it since his little self imposed break but you can't seriously be claiming 2007 never happened.--<small>[[User:Karek#K|Karek]]<sup><font face="Monotype Corsiva">[[User:Karek/ProjDev/OmegaMap|maps?!]]</font></sup></small> 00:08, 26 August 2008 (BST)
::I know I haven't been here for very long, and I probably shouldn't even get into this but I can't resist. Do you really thing he had ''that'' much to do with any of those things that made it in, if he even had '''anything at all''' to do with them? I don't think he's a bad guy, but when it comes to suggestions I don't see how he can go from creating stuff like that to the stuff he's put up recently...--{{User:SirArgo/Signature}} 00:16, 26 August 2008 (BST)
:::i was venting... and, yeah, i am well aware that i was totally over-the-fucking top... that was the point... But, sadly, 2007 *did* happen, yeah... and even just a month or two ago he was still spamming the suggestions page almost every day... and he NEVER post ideas to Talk:Suggestions... some of his ideas DO have merit, though, like this one... and that's exactly my point... now, this idea, because it wasn't properly developed and fleshed out, will be an eternal DUPE... Too bad. There are many good reasons why it's strongly recommended that people post an idea to Talk:Suggestions before putting it up for voting... And the fact that Talk:Suggestions is a giant fucking trolls' free for all is deeply regrettable.... but I have a position on how to deal with that kind of stuff... thing is, it's not something that seems to fly very well... and i accept that... though, nope, not without a bit of shitstorm to go along with it... '';P'' --[[User:WanYao|WanYao]] 02:00, 26 August 2008 (BST)
::::I wasn't around for a good chunk of 2007, I think.  As for the duping issue- all it takes is he either pulls the suggestion and it gets re-submitted, or it goes to undecided, or some brave sole has the nads to take the dupe brigade to arbitration when the suggestion is notably different, as the guidelines specifically say not to make dupe votes in that case.<br>And yeah, I do believe he developed a lot of those ideas.  I remember voting on them.<br>And yea, I do understand your frustrations, WanYao, and can even understand why John might be a focus / trigger for them.  But really, I think you sorta make yourself look bad by such unmerited attacks.  {{User:Swiers/Sig}} 04:54, 26 August 2008 (BST)
:::::The thing is, being calm, nice, reasonable doesn't get you anywhere. I've tried that... Sure, the other calm, nice, mature and resonable people will deal with you in like fashion... But for every one of those, you're going to 2 or 3 fucking twat trolls and spammers... Who completely drown out the former... So you're left with a couple of choices after that: you don't bother anymore, you walk away... or you fight fire with fire and you escalate... Sadly, ''all three'' choices suck, and fail.


:::::Frankly, I think the entire Suggestions system is a completely and utterly broken disaster... It's a troll's playground, a complete free for all. I think it really ought to just be shut right down, scrapped... Actually, I've come to pretty much the same conclusion regarding the entire wiki: it's utterly, completely fucking broken, and a free-for all troll's playground... and there's nothing you can do about it. Nothing...  
My computer has an auto-shutoff when I'm asleep so I missed your message on #urbandeadwiki until today, when I looked through the logs.


:::::So, yeah... I'm frustrated... Does it show??? ;) But seriously, I believe the wiki is simply broken. Period. It's a joke -- the suggestions thing just happens to be a flashpoint for the disaster, is all... And I respect anyone who actually is trying to slog it through, and take "the high road" -- as you two, swiers and karek, both attempt do... But I don't have the patience for it, I really don't... And, the sad thing is I know I'm not alone. Look at how many ''good users'' (including sysops) have walked away... and how many more never get involved in the first place... Serial trolling is killing the wiki; and zerging is killing the ''game'' itself... For the moment, I ''do'' have the patience to slog through the latter mess, because the game is still fun, and the community is worthwhile... but for how long? I seriously wonder how many more days Urban Dead has left, if something isn't done to fix the wiki and the zerging issue...... Hmph. --[[User:WanYao|WanYao]] 11:59, 26 August 2008 (BST)
Basically, in response to your message: I'm all ears. --{{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sigcode|BlueViolet}}-- 03:17, 3 September 2009 (BST)
:::::::Does it really matter if suggestions is a broken free for all trolls playground? Or the wiki for that matter? Suggestions is junk, maybe it gives kevan ideas for what to implement, maybe it doesn't. Either way changing it wouldn't do jack, it has no real effect on the game and thus is barely worth the time people invest in it now, let alone more than that. As for the wiki, it gets the job done informing your average player about [[ALiM|what to do]] and [[Suburb Nicknames|where to go]]. imhop that's not a bad effort.--{{User:J3D/ciggy}} 12:28, 26 August 2008 (BST)
:Well this ought to be interesting. {{User:Cyberbob240/Sig}} 07:34, 3 September 2009 (BST)
::Cyberbob, you've been asked to stay off my talk page except for necessary admin functions. That is all. --[[User:WanYao|WanYao]] 10:04, 3 September 2009 (BST)


::::::::I don't like how you say that the wiki is a trolls playground, when lets be honest, you spend a large amount of your edits trolling suggestion pages. The other thing that caught me off guard was how you said that being reasonable doesn't get you anywhere. Excuse me but....what do you gain from being shit to everyone who either A) Posts a suggestion and is not in a position of power and b) Posts some POV on a suburb page? It just makes the newbs not want to edit anymore. Most of them don't know what POV is, but you flame them anyway. I know, I was one of them, and you made me want to give up wiki-ing altogether. If you want to complain about the trolls on this wiki, then you need to not be one yourself, not flame people (which starts troll wars, which is a waste of time) and most fucking importantly, be a good user. I don't get your logic in saying the wiki is shit, so you will be shit aswell, because it's easier that way. It's a pathetic attitude.--{{User:Sexylegsread/sig}} 12:57, 26 August 2008 (BST)
== Guides/Review ==
::::::::Also, don't take it as a complete flame, while it is sort of that, it is mostly out of both frustration towards your agenda on this wiki, and because you really, really give me the shits when you comment on suggestions.--{{User:Sexylegsread/sig}} 13:00, 26 August 2008 (BST)
::::::::::Oh come on, as if... Yeah, I can be a dick. I'm the first one to admit that. However there is a '''huge''' difference between almost all of my posts -- even the dickish ones -- and the kind of bullshit, asshole trolling that I am talking about. You can tell the difference. Or you really ''should'' be able to tell the difference... and if you can't... well... I don't know what to say... And, I'm sorry if you're butthurt because I flamed out on you several months ago over NPOV shit... But you yourself weren't all that upstanding in your comportment in all that... And, frankly, aren't to this day... Meanwhile, outside of the Suggestions page and dealing with a certain degree of snideness towards a particular group's representatives who are well known ASSHOLES... I think I've actually been pretty decent in dealing with NPOV stuff. Not always Dr. Phil meets Oprah in Deanna Troy's chambers for tea, but not the SA wannabe you seem to trying to paint me as .. So, not only are you a ''very, very dark pot'' calling a kettle black, you're also not even on base... Yeah... But thanks for the input, have a nice day. Ciao. --[[User:WanYao|WanYao]] 16:25, 26 August 2008 (BST)
::::::::::And... re: the suggestions page... Get your facts straight. Go read my contributions. No, go actually FUCKING READ THEM. And go see the many times that I am very constructive... And then look at when I am jerk, and why? I am a jerk when someone posts completely broken garbage... What, am I supposed to be all ''nice'' and Oprah to people who don't even do their basic homework? No. Get a grip. Especially considering that you and your buddies are some of the biggest spam-trolls on that page. Give me a break. --[[User:WanYao|WanYao]] 16:34, 26 August 2008 (BST)

::::::::::::Please, call him Sexy....or Read...if you'd prefer...--{{User:J3D/ciggy}} 06:48, 27 August 2008 (BST)


Mr. Read was asked not to post here not because I felt anything that was said above was particularly bad or out of line. Wrong? Misguided? Maybe... No. Rather, I went to the Talk:Suggestions page to poke around... And what did I see? A whole SLEW of "Wan's an asshole" and "Wan's a troll" spam from Mr. Read. Far more than I'd remembered, or expected. I was not impressed... So I made the decision, based on that, that I don't want to talk to him or deal with that. That's the reasoning... And, yeah, I read the post on Sweir's Talk page... And, without abdicating my responsibility for my own actions... The atmosphere of much of this wiki really isn't very conducive for, or fostering to (for me anyway), things constructive... That's really about it, I think that says a enough... --[[User:WanYao|WanYao]] 07:37, 27 August 2008 (BST)
