::Funny thing, when you look purely at the number of years we've each been around, we've all been here for the majority of the game's life:
::*August 2009 for me
::*October 2007 for Ross
::*August 2007 for DDR
::*May 2006 for Boxy
::And yet, despite that we've all been around for the majority of the game's life, I think we'd all agree (myself included), that there's a big difference in terms of how long it feels like people have been around between the people who were there before the game peaked (e.g. you, box, Ross, DDR, etc.) and the people who came by sometime after that (e.g. me). {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 15:36, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

== Truly inactive psysop changes ==
Good Morning,
Thank you for the information and understanding. It's been years since I used this site.
I have made the accurate correction this time. Nation is up. Looking at it right now.
Also, the Danger Report notification at the top of the edit box does specify it is to be NPOV,
I was trying to help that person, but went about it wrong. I will do better.
I'm sure the usual problem makers will try to tie me to their enemy, but the fact is I was just trying to keep things as accurate as possible. Time for some people to grow up and learn this is not their game, nor their site, and we're all just guests of the creator.
Take care.  {{User:Neutral objector}} 04:30, 12 May 2018 (UTC)


In a nutshell, activity levels would be based on timestamps instead of edit count. We could have a few different levels of activity based on the timestamp. Let's say Active, Less Active, Inactive and Hiatus. Sysops notified on talk page if activity level is changed. To address the issue of crat inactivity, mandate that all crats maintain Active status. If a Less Active sysop is promoted to crat, they have one week to update timestamp, or vote is restarted without them as candidate. ~[[Image:Vsig.png|link=User:Vapor]] <sub>06:18, 15 June 2014 (UTC)</sub>
== A/V report ==
:Could it be automated? {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/a}} 06:30, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
::Perhaps. I had the same thought and tried to think of ways. Templates would be involved, so possibly. '''Edit''': Yes it is possible, I've thought of a way. Or at least semi-automated. I think it might be better if it wasn't fully automated, since sysops would be notified of status changes. This could be a crat duty. ~[[Image:Vsig.png|link=User:Vapor]] <sub>06:37, 15 June 2014 (UTC)</sub>
:::Sure, I meant the status but not the notification thing obviously. I think they key to its appeal would be the ability for it to be automated and not need maintenance. Upkeep isn't exactly one of the things this wiki prides itself on ;) {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/a}} 07:28, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
:Let's keep it simple. If a 'crat fails to make an edit for a month, anyone can ask them on their talk page if they're still around. Failure to reply in a week is grounds for putting their seat up for grabs. It preserves the community's authority in removing inactive 'crats, while giving us more flexibility in dealing with them by not forcing us to immediately put their seat up. A change like this is also more in line with the inactive sysops policy. It also means that if the community doesn't care that a 'crat is inactive, they can stay inactive. If the community does care, then the 'crat will need to be active or else they'll get demoted. Either way, the policy would react to the community. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 07:01, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
::That would work as well, but without the added benefit of a page which shows at a galnce which sysops are active, less active, elegible for crat, etc. Even having such a page on the wiki gives sysops some administrative purpose for editing, which is benefit for anyone that believes that an occasional edit is an indication of activity. ~[[Image:Vsig.png|link=User:Vapor]] <sub>07:22, 15 June 2014 (UTC)</sub>
:::I do like simplicity so I like Aichon's suggestion (der) but I don't mind the idea of a status of activity for each op. What numbers are you thinking for each status 'bracket'? {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/a}} 07:27, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
::::Arbitrarily, I'd say within 2 months for the first bracket, within 4 months for the second, after that, sysop is considered inactive and has a week before demotion. Hiatus could extend the second bracket to up to 6 months. ~[[Image:Vsig.png|link=User:Vapor]] <sub>07:36, 15 June 2014 (UTC)</sub>
:::::I'm gonna be totally honest, it's a shame we just didn't have more sysops. For me, that's always going to be the solution, get more sysops, reduce the activity quota so it literally only serves to stop totally inactive ops from being crat (I'm going to start calling it a "bob case" from now on) and I'm sure we'd be fine. There's gotta be a way to 'simulate' having more sysops through policy. There has to be a way. {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/a}} 07:53, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
:::If only there was [[UDWiki:Administration/Sysop_Check|a page that had some at-a-glance info about sysop activity...]] :P {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 07:37, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
::::Also, I still think the whole system, and I basically mean EVERYTHING, needs a rewrite at some point in simpler terms. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 07:41, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
:::::^ This is something I'd really like to see. If not already obvious from my stupidity about most wiki policies that aren't common-sensical, I sometimes feel like the current policies could use simplification (but it might be because I'm an EFL speaker.) There are barriers to entry I see when it comes to sysops -- some people are active enough on the wiki, but don't really bother with the sysop nominations due to: 1) lack of interest in performing the duties of a sysop, 2) lack of knowledge on how to handle the MediaWiki platform, and 3) potential ambiguities with {{WIKILAW}}.
:::::I'd also like to see Administration/Sysop Check as an automated, or at least, semi-automated process -- unless it'd put too much strain on the servers. Could be handy for those of us who are too scared to prod a <s>p</s>sysop to check if they're still alive and kicking. --{{User:Chirurgien/Signature2.3b}} 11:21, 15 June 2014 (UTC)


===/late===
Even if I had actually been the one to make the edit in question, A/V policy is to contact the user and try to work it out with them <b>before</b> aggressively filing a report to get them punished, to promote good faith and newbie-friendliness in the community. I note that my talk page is still nonexistent. If you had left me a message instead of rushing to A/V, perhaps we could have worked out some of the smaller details like "I have never edited the page you accused me of vandalizing." --[[User:Envious|Ɛňvϊoцᵴ]] ([[User talk:Envious|talk]]) 16:21, 14 May 2018 (UTC)

::That's a tricky one!<br/> Mis obviously had people from his various groups voting for him – whether or not that counts as "meatpuppeting" or simply "gathering support" seems to vary depending on who you ask, who's doing it, and who's opposing it – but the people voting for you are from all over the spectrum. Closest thing to a bloc voting for you is a few CAPD, and they were all pretty active on the wiki anyway (and having played with those players in a few games, mostly in opposition, I can't see them stooping to puppetry). A few DEM (but DEM was huge), a few Bashers (ditto)… and then we've got the last couple of one-shot voting accounts that squeaked in the win. Of those, two were from (different) French IPs, and one was from an obvious proxy that got caught. Could easily be someone who wanted you to win (or Mis to lose) doing something as relatively low-tech as visiting a couple of libraries or internet cafes and making sure to never edit the wiki from them again.<br/> Sorry! No conspiracy I knew of, though bear in mind I've never really been as well-connected on the pro-survivor side, which is where I'd hazard it would have come from, and it only takes one person with half a clue and fewer scruples to tilt things juuust enough. <span style="border: 1px solid #D4AF37; background-color: #0047AB; <!-- Azure --> color: #D4AF37; <!-- Metallic Gold --> font: 12px 'lucida blackletter','lucida blacklet','lucida handwriting',cursive; text-align: justify;">[[User:Revenant{{Switch|{{FULLPAGENAME}}|case: User:Revenant=/Sig}}|<span style="color: #D4AF37;">ЯЭV&#8288;€&#8288;NΛИ</span>]][[User talk:Revenant|<span style="color: #D4AF37;">†</span>]]</span> <span style="font-size:xx-small; letter-spacing: -2px; text-shadow: #cc4444 1px 1px 10px">[[File:555Manbabies.gif|You rated this wiki '1'!

:Hey Alex. I'm happy to see you have an interest in nice signatures and I like that you seem to like stuff I've done. Sadly, the year I spent away from UDWiki (the only wiki I use) has left me pretty illiterate with coding and design, so I fear I wouldn't be able to help you all that much.

== RE: Houghton Towers ==
== that's not ==


It isn't as an insult, if anything, it's a compliment. Even if they are goons, even if they may be childish, they are smart. They are causing an imbalance to the game but that very imbalance is their advantage. They are creating a dominance, the strongest control. This isn't a bunch of ragtag players banding together as zombies and killing people. They are strategic and know exactly what to hit and when to hit. "even as zombies" the only insult is they are metagamers, not roleplaying. Taking outside information for their own gain and abusing it. Do I really want to compliment them? No, I hate players who see no enjoyment without killing another player, but it isn't my place to judge them. Facts are facts, whether or not the truth hurts. I never expected them to leave me alone in the first place. But if you force me out of Houghton Towers, you rip from me the only reason I found to keep playing. Me getting killed and my building ruined is different, it's just a fight. But if you permanently take me out of the whole equation, there's nothing left for me. At least no one can say I didn't try. --- [[Image:Umbrella_Corp.gif|14px]] '''[[User:Alex Yamata|Alex Yamata]]''' 22:17, 12 July 2014 (UTC)

I must say though, if you react to what ''we'' have said by crying foul and calling us dicks, I really would hate to think how you'd handle the Dead at their worst.
::::I assure you that my only intention is to give you a knee-up in wiki-related stuff, so I must insist on letting you know that there is no policy on [[civility]] on the wiki. Administrators, just like normal users, are ''allowed'' (though obviously not encouraged) to be as rude to one another without repercussion (unless it breaches extreme levels of harassment or any laws within the UK). In fact, this lesson is a very important one considering we are talking about The Dead, whose users often laugh in the face of civility. We aren't trying to upset you Alex, just give you some advice (that's well-warranted, I believe) to not provoke the userbase of the Dead. {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/a}} 10:55, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
:::::Meh, if they are as cruel and tough as you say they are, I don't see why they'd feel it worth it to assault me. If they ravage my wiki edits, they'll get stomped due to rules. If they kill me or destroy my headquarters (Like they've been doing since the first time I rebuilt it?), well, I guess I have to use my two legs and get up, then rebuild the building after my allies, members, or friends revive me. Also, you know it would make me feel better if you used words I didn't have to google, and not say I cry. I know full well what the phrase means, but everyone suspects my responses to be filled with tears (Or, as "those" tend to call it; pubie tears). (However if you feel inclined to be cruel and rude, it's your choice, I have no place judging you). Really, that whole thing was passive. I don't expect any higher official to be civil, I just expect them to know the difference from right and wrong. Whether or not they act out right versus wrong personally is up to them, but when a rule they stand for is broken, they take action. With me, you see, you have no need to warn me of what the Dead may do. The '''entire point''' of that post to The Dead was to explain to them that if they eventually disrupt the balance enough, they may just kill the game for good. (if, eventually, enough; they may). I really don't care what they do. If they don't always ruin my building? Awesome! If they do keep destroying it? Well, I guess ya gotta make me work for it. They can kill me and destroy my toys all they want, but I have no reason to leave, not even if the whole horde came at me. Why should I sit at the other table when the only thing wrong at this table is the bully steals my milk. It's an online game, people shouldn't take it so seriously; as I don't. The only time I get '''serious''', is when I'm roleplaying, playing in a group.

:::::I'm not afraid like the others. I don't run in fear when everything goes to crumble. Because I can rebuild it. I can make it better. No, I can make it '''funner'''! Now, this is the real insult to the dead; anything they do is just a poke to my ribs, and it tickles! Seriously, what can they do to me as an individual? I don't have pride, I don't have respect by the community, I'm not even known by the community. And they can't hurt me in any other serious way. So why should I care?

::::::I get what you are saying.  But if your reason for playing relates to a single building; yes the dead can take that.  I don't think anyone would say you shouldn't engage your enemy, but there are plenty of groups who would enjoy fighting you over a building that you could talk to, who would be semi-civil, who would enjoy having a new enemy.  The dead are not those people.  So, do as you want, but if you want the most fun (and to help someone else have fun too) I'd pick a new enemy and a new area.  Why don't you come to the [[Block Party]] in Roftwood, it's a bit of a journey but I think it'd be worth it and you'll get to meet/interact with some new people (both DHPD and SoC will be there and would be the groups you'd probably be working with most in Dunell Hills, anyways).  --<sub>[[User:Kirsty_cotton|<span style="color: lightgrey">K</span>]]</sub> 16:08, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

I guess in a way that could be violating something or other, but it's not like I did anything he'd object to. I'll ask him ingame if he's okay with me linking his character to his own group. It isn't like I did anything bad, and if he declines it's an easy erase, but I doubt he'd care. I thought that it would be better to link the two, or at least one links to the other.

In reference to [http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php?title=UDWiki:Administration/Policy_Discussion/Signature_Text_Policy_Revision&curid=190015&diff=2262186&oldid=2262139 your comment], it wasn't unwillingness, so much as it was a combination of lack of time and laziness. I saw him doing it on his talk page one day, but didn't have time to investigate to see if he had done it in his templated sig so that it was screwing up the whole wiki. And I was too lazy to check in later to see. By the next day, it was apparent from other comments that that was exactly what he had done, so I set aside some time and undid the stuff.
== Signature and template questions ==


As for punishment, we act on A/VB cases. Always have. Maybe I've gotten a bit softer with time, but I prefer to solve things outside of A/VB if we're able to do so, so I only initiate A/VB cases in situations where I don't have a reasonable expectation that we can solve it otherwise. Once an A/VB case arrives, however, I'll call things what they are. It seemed to me that we could deal with the current situation with a little edit reverting and a page protection, but that if things kept escalating, A/VB would still on the table as a remedy. Plus, A/VB is something that anyone can initiate, so if someone else had truly been bothered by what he was doing, I figured that they'd have put him up (in fact, I actually thought that you or Yonn would have put up the A/VB case based on the comments I was seeing).


Anyway, your comment is (mostly) fair, though I obviously think there were other factors at play in this case. The one thing I strongly disagree with is the sentiment that we're unwilling to punish established members of the community. We may be less inclined to ''initiate'' action, just because we know from experience that they're not throwaway accounts created to rabble rouse, but it's not our job to create A/VB cases. That's left up to everyone. It is our job to handle A/VB cases, however, and at least in that regard, I think we've been doing okay. If we're not, however, let me know where you think I could be improving. :) {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 14:48, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
I appreciate your help, DDR. Since you are knowledgeable about signatures, perhaps you could point me to a link that shows/explains how to take a descriptive two-line string of code that delineates a signature ("font-family", etc.) and turns it into the compact form such as your <nowiki>[[User:DDR|DDR]]</nowiki>. I want to be able to turn the strings of descriptors in mine to the compact version of [[Catherine Cushing|Lizzie Donner]].  I made up a signature for each alt and put them on the bottom of my homepage, User: Catherine Cushing. I feel like the code isn't written up properly somehow. Maybe that's because I don't understand any of it (just filched it from other peoples' pages.)
:That's all fair I guess, I do however feel that this has been a predictable event from the getgo, especially with Revenant, who likes to push things as hard as possible. The fact it was him made it especially easy to predict which is why im surprised the veteran ops didn't see it themselves. Another thing is giving away a soft warning to Mis after a classic case of shitty garbage vandalism. Especially when it's a common issue with him, sitting back and not being firm, instead asking him nicely not to do it (bob?) just, for some reason, invites troublemakers to blow things out of proportion. Lo and behold his way of reacting to the communities outcry is to 'vandalise' AH's vandalism signature, not warn him or revert it. It's not something you'll always control totally but Ive never understood, for example, the logic behind 'well he knew the consequences and did it anyway so why bother punishing him accordingly', that's how it felt to me.
: I keep finding myself coming back to the Team America thing where, frankly, if the op team had been dicks more than pussies in some very specific situations, I feel others could have been avoided. Cause some people are always gonna behave like assholes.
:As for regular users not reporting it, well, you're definitely right, I guess that's a lesson in there for myself as well. I wrote one up and was going to post it actually, but knowing how soft the ops had been (responding with making a policy about it bob?) made me think it wasn't really worth it, I guess I have learned the lesson that I just should have. {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/a}} 15:29, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
::As for improving, I've always thought very highly of your work as an op, always. I appreciate your asking but I don't think you need any improvement at all.  I just feel like someone in the op team needs to be the bastard more often. The op team needs the unpopular guy every now and then. It doesn't have to be- nor should it be- you. {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/a}} 15:33, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
:::Also, having said all this out loud I now realise that everyone's idea of 'too far' is different, so i understand if some of this sounds over the top. {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/a}} 15:43, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
::::Yeah, and having seen some of the cases you just brought up and my own responses to them, I can honestly see why people might think we're being soft. I'm actually glad you brought up those cases, even if I've (so far) said Not Vandalism on them, since there were things with them that needed to be said. And your comment on Axe's case makes me want to scrap the entire sig policy and replace it with something [[UDWiki_talk:Administration/Policy_Discussion/Signature_Text_Policy_Revision#meh|like what Yonn suggested]]. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 16:01, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
:::::Thanks. And lol. Just keep in mind that Yon's suggestion is how we've always worked as sysops if the situation is extreme enough. Hopefully that doesn't change with the lack of users. {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/a}} 06:34, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
::Since I've been mentioned, thought I'd chime in. Regarding Mis, you're totally correct, I should have reported it as vandalism right away — (unfortunately?) my focus as 'sop tends to be on fixing up the error rather than punishing the offender.
::With regards to the "responding with making a policy about it", I don't really see it that way. My response isn't to the ''individual actions'', it's to the ''existence of dispute''. In fact, I don't see myself as making a policy in my capacity as sysop, but as a regular user — a user who is not, in that capacity, empowered to "punish" others.
::If you'll allow an analogy, I suggest policies where I feel clarification of the rules is needed, while recognizing that the new policy will have no effect on whatever situation is ongoing. A crime (or non-crime) occurs and is brought through [[A/VB|the court system]]; as a result, the [[A/PD|legislature]] takes action to clarify the rules for future cases. I've slowly realized that this wiki (unlike others I've been on previously) doesn't see it that way ([[UDWiki:Administration/Policy Discussion/Permaban Appeal Revisions|blatant example]] and [[UDWiki:Administration/Policy Discussion/Signature Text Policy Revision|current example]]). So instead things are built upon a (arguably shaky) system of precedent, with continuous and ongoing opposition to actual (even non-substantive) changes in the rules.
::This went off in a side direction it probably shouldn't have; hope that's ok. {{User:Bob Moncrief/Sig}} 19:54, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
:::You're certainly right, making a policy to fix the issue is a great thing to do, and obviously it's done as a user like you said. I guess we differ on effective methods of stopping this, in my eyes, this kind of stuff is already covered in vandal precedents and sysops have the power to stop this stuff without resorting to policy voting. The latter is good for the long term, but often doesn't solve the immediate issue, which is not only an individual issue like you've said, but is probably the one-off issue that won't happen again if it gets stomped out. {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/a}} 06:34, 10 October 2015 (UTC)


::I'm generally and have always been a more libertarian-minded, laissez faire op who prefers to keep authoritarian measures to the necessary minimum. That's what I've offered for years, that's what got me into op position without ever actively shooting for it, and I'd be the first to withdraw from my position if what I offer is deemed the wrong stance for an op during A/RE.
Since I wrote that I did find a place that I think explains how to make a nice signature properly. It is: https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_intro.asp
::At the time the policy was drafted it already looked like the issue was well on its way to being resolved, and with the problematic sig being locked into a non-problematic state there was no immediate danger that needed to be contained. Rev actively mucking up an admin page was a different beast that disrupted a current admin page, and it has been one that has been dealt with swiftly and decisively.
::As Aichon said, if something on the wiki annoys you, just bring it up on A/VB for review. - If you think that the pendulum has swung too far to the libertarian end and that we need more voices for a stricter op culture, feel free to run for promotion again, or to propose users who could provide that. --'''<span style="font-family:monospace; background-color:#222222">[[User:Spiderzed|<span style="color:Lime"> Spiderzed</span>]][[User talk:Spiderzed|<span style="color:Lime">▋</span>]]</span>''' 10:50, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
:::There's nothing wrong with being a relaxed op if you're happy to deal with stuff like this. If you're not, I think the results speak for themselves. 3 (?) days of drama and all it took was Revenant raising the stakes to tragic proportions by involving Boxy, and after throwing in Mis and AH we haven't had any more pesky edits 24 hours on.
:::I'd probably complain a lot less if I was an op but I don't think I'm needed- these things are super rare and everyone does a pretty good job anyways. {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/a}} 12:04, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
::::Drama? What happened the last 4 days was mild irritation at best. Nothing compared to the actual drama of yesteryear like the goonsig drama, or Cornlolio, or NWO, or Umbrella, or the time the entire op team was held hostage at Misconduct over the Izumi unbanning... - I think we have hit the right break-off point between being lenient and erecting the official "No Fun Allowed" sign using authoritah. --'''<span style="font-family:monospace; background-color:#222222">[[User:Spiderzed|<span style="color:Lime"> Spiderzed</span>]][[User talk:Spiderzed|<span style="color:Lime">▋</span>]]</span>''' 12:25, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
:::::Drama is relative, and at it's core it's always been the same. Someone tries to game rules, people don't like it, they keep pushing it until the fun stops. Usually "fun stops" is when the ops come in and stamp it out because it serves no purpose and is just shitstirring.

:Howdy bud, long time no see, thanks for dropping by. {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/a}} 09:42, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
:So I think there are two solutions to your questions. Please correct me if you have more questions or if I didn't quite understand your queries (it's been a while since I've really troubleshot signatures).
:The first answer to your question is possibly best answered [[Help:Signatures#Customized_Signatures|here]], with some examples of signature styles etc. that will still help you out with coding and what codes might make your signatures look like what.
:As for your second question, I have a complex signature that appears in code just as '''<nowiki>{{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig5}}</nowiki>'''when I type my <nowiki>"~~~~"</nowiki>. The way you do that is to go to preferences (top right of this whole page) and go to signature and you add '''<nowiki>{{SUBST:Nosubst|User:YOUR SIG HERE}}</nowiki>.''' So for example, mine says right now, ''' <nowiki>{{SUBST:Nosubst|User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig5}}</nowiki>'''. You are able to go to the real page of [[User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig5]] and see the code for yourself, but thanks to this nifty trick, all that code doesn't end up on a page every time I type the signature, the wiki just uses that code as a template.
:Does that help you at all? {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig5}} 09:44, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

:::You can manually add the timestamp! Just type in <nowiki>~~~~~</nowiki> after you put in the template to show the sig you want. Also, if you create a separate page for each signature (just like DDR has) then those pages can be used as the template coding then adding in the five tildes afterwards. You might want to ask Bob what he does, as he switches between signatures depending on what he is doing on the wiki. He has his main one, but then for danger status updates, he often uses his Danger Updater signature. So he might be able to give you another point of view on how to do things with your alt's signatures :) {{User:Stelar/sig}} 11:16, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

Re: nation library edit:

Good Morning, Thank you for the information and understanding. It's been years since I used this site. I have made the accurate correction this time. Nation is up. Looking at it right now. Also, the Danger Report notification at the top of the edit box does specify it is to be NPOV, I was trying to help that person, but went about it wrong. I will do better. I'm sure the usual problem makers will try to tie me to their enemy, but the fact is I was just trying to keep things as accurate as possible. Time for some people to grow up and learn this is not their game, nor their site, and we're all just guests of the creator. Take care. How can I be a sockpuppet if Im a real person, and don't like a hand up my butt?

Dont be made just because Im making more sense than you. Next time just follow my lead and we can all get there together correctly and accurately!

A/V report

Even if I had actually been the one to make the edit in question, A/V policy is to contact the user and try to work it out with them before aggressively filing a report to get them punished, to promote good faith and newbie-friendliness in the community. I note that my talk page is still nonexistent. If you had left me a message instead of rushing to A/V, perhaps we could have worked out some of the smaller details like "I have never edited the page you accused me of vandalizing." --Ɛňvϊoцᵴ (talk) 16:21, 14 May 2018 (UTC)

gdpr

was there any discussion about it on the wiki ? --hagnat 14:45, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

Not that I'm aware of. It's on Kevan, so our lack of discussion here on the wiki is not really surprising. Frankly, given that he cut off payments from UK customers to comply with updated business regulations a few years back, I was half expecting that the wiki and game might suddenly shut down so that he wouldn't have to worry about any potential GDPR compliance issues, but that hasn't happened (yet). —Aichon— 17:06, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
No. I'm not really the person to discuss the GDPR thing. I honestly don't really know much about it at all, so if anyone else wants to chime in with thoughts, please do. A ZOMBIE ANT 03:47, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

Pardus and associated pages

Seems that the user Pyropardus is taking over user Pardus and other associated pages. Afaik, this should not be done. http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/Special:Contributions/Pyropardus --Emot-siren.gif LABIA on the INTERNET Emot-siren.gif Dunell Hills Corpseman The Malton Globetrotters#24 - You rated this wiki '1'! Great job, go hog wild!|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| TMG 22:40, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

I'm interested to hear what you think- I saw those and interpreted it as the same user coming back under a new account (perhaps they forgot their old password) and just reclaiming their old projects, which isn't uncommon. THE CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER 22:53, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
Particularly because all they've done on that group page is do a couple of small spelling fixes, etc. THE CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER 22:54, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
Ok, and that is fine reasoning; however, Pyropardus blanked user Pardus's page and erased quite a bit of data off of two other pages. Now compare that to user Igotmadenoughtomakeanewaccount, who was warned for making edits to user Shaqfu's page. There was some back and forth so it was apparent that Shaqfu didn't want the edit to his page. The edits were the addition of two templates, one of which called user A Helpful Little Gnome a "five alarm fuckwit". That appeared to draw user A Helpful Little Gnome into creating a V/B case against user Igotmadenoughtomakeanewaccount.
What I really don't like is the precedent this could set. Does this mean that anyone can make a new account like say user NewMartyBanks, and then proceed to edit user MartyBanks profile and erase large portions of the group he is associated with?--Emot-siren.gif LABIA on the INTERNET Emot-siren.gif Dunell Hills Corpseman The Malton Globetrotters#24 - You rated this wiki '1'!

Sure. THE CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER 05:52, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
So just to put my 2c in now the case is done is I'm pleased you bought the case forward because it can be better to be safe than sorry, and I'm cool with that, although I consider the precedent you seem wary of to simply be "assuming good faith", which is the vibe I got from the whole situation (luckily I was right, though I could have easily been wrong and looked like a tit). Nothing wrong with escalating an issue because no one else has brought anything up because of assumptions. I think you did the right thing. THE CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER 16:37, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
Yeah, I was wary for that above reason, plus I think pardus was one of the free speech for all people we were arguing with on discord. I wanted to make the issue known before when I first noticed it, but I wanted to wait to see of there were anymore edits. It did get some humorous stuff going when bob and pyropadus started edit warring. --Emot-siren.gif LABIA on the INTERNET Emot-siren.gif Dunell Hills Corpseman The Malton Globetrotters#24 - You rated this wiki '1'!

Signature and template questions

I appreciate your help, DDR. Since you are knowledgeable about signatures, perhaps you could point me to a link that shows/explains how to take a descriptive two-line string of code that delineates a signature ("font-family", etc.) and turns it into the compact form such as your [[User:DDR|DDR]]. I want to be able to turn the strings of descriptors in mine to the compact version of Lizzie Donner. I made up a signature for each alt and put them on the bottom of my homepage, User: Catherine Cushing. I feel like the code isn't written up properly somehow. Maybe that's because I don't understand any of it (just filched it from other peoples' pages.)

Since I wrote that I did find a place that I think explains how to make a nice signature properly. It is: https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_intro.asp

Have some fun in London. I haven't been there in 18 months (I'm in Oregon, above the Pacific in the USA.) It was August and the weather in Whitby was perfection. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Catherine Cushing (talk • contribs) at an unknown time.I forgot; sorry.Catherine Cushing (talk)But the signature I tried to write doesn't have the time and date in it!!!--Catherine Cushing (talk) 10:38, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

Hey Catherine. Thanks for the well wishes for London. I'm excited to see it.
So I think there are two solutions to your questions. Please correct me if you have more questions or if I didn't quite understand your queries (it's been a while since I've really troubleshot signatures).
The first answer to your question is possibly best answered here, with some examples of signature styles etc. that will still help you out with coding and what codes might make your signatures look like what.
As for your second question, I have a complex signature that appears in code just as {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig5}}when I type my "~~~~". The way you do that is to go to preferences (top right of this whole page) and go to signature and you add {{SUBST:Nosubst|User:YOUR SIG HERE}}. So for example, mine says right now, {{SUBST:Nosubst|User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig5}}. You are able to go to the real page of User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig5 and see the code for yourself, but thanks to this nifty trick, all that code doesn't end up on a page every time I type the signature, the wiki just uses that code as a template.
Does that help you at all? DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION 09:44, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
That is extremely helpful and very kind of you, DDR, thank you. (I didn't realize until just now that the signatures I composed have no date and time stamping function included. Ugh.) --Catherine Cushing (talk) 10:38, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
You can manually add the timestamp! Just type in ~~~~~ after you put in the template to show the sig you want. Also, if you create a separate page for each signature (just like DDR has) then those pages can be used as the template coding then adding in the five tildes afterwards. You might want to ask Bob what he does, as he switches between signatures depending on what he is doing on the wiki. He has his main one, but then for danger status updates, he often uses his Danger Updater signature. So he might be able to give you another point of view on how to do things with your alt's signatures :) stelar Talk|MCM|EBD|Scourge 11:16, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
For my side signatures, I have a subpage for them (just like a regular signature), e.g. at User:Bob Moncrief/DUSig. Then, I type {{User:Bob Moncrief/DUSig}} ~~~~~, which transcludes the side signature and then adds just the timestamp (with five tildes, as opposed to four tildes, which would also include my regular signature). Bob Moncrief EBD•W! 11:58, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
Thanks all for pitching in to answer that third query that I skimmed past... Basically as Bob and Stelar have said above in regards to getting your 'alternate' signatures to appear as though you are speaking as one of your alts. (Might as well do one for this here message, by manually typing an old sig and then adding the 5 tildes.) -- DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION -- 04:10, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
This is fantastically generous of you all, and I actually understand it!!! (I believe it has also illuminated the idea of posting a template one has made on a file page, so that it actually works out in the UD Wiki world.) I can't tell you how incredibly grateful I am for your help. P.S. I wasn't sure I was allowed to insert a live link for something outside the UD Wiki, so I put spaces into the address for that w3 school tutorial thingee I found. Catherine Cushing (talk) 08:58, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
You're welcome! Never be afraid to ask a question, there will always be someone around that can answer it! The wiki can be a bit confusing until you get the hang of it. stelar Talk|MCM|EBD|Scourge 10:44, 14 March 2019 (UTC)

No problem. Out of curiosity, where’d you get the newer count? DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION 12:05, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

Was I not supposed to edit his talk page? --Emot-siren.gif LABIA on the INTERNET Emot-siren.gif Dunell Hills Corpseman The Malton Globetrotters#24 - You rated this wiki '1'! Great job, go hog wild!|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| TMG 03:13, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

That’s 100% my fault. I must have accidentally clicked revert. Have undone the revert, apologies. DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION 03:34, 18 March 2020 (UTC)
It is ok, I actually cannot even see the comment I made but I think that was his intention. --Emot-siren.gif LABIA on the INTERNET Emot-siren.gif Dunell Hills Corpseman The Malton Globetrotters#24 - You rated this wiki '1'!

I don’t know french, but I think it’s safe to say everyone’s passed. DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION 14:40, 25 July 2020 (UTC)

Inactivity

I am consistently semi active. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 15:06, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

Deleting Pages

Well hello again! I remember your name from back in the day, and I recently came back myself. Just wanted to say hi. Anyway... There's a couple pages that I had created, that I won't use/have no use for anymore. I was looking for some help on deleting them. These are the pages in question. Thanks!

Hi there! Great to see you’re still editing. Happy to help with the pages too. DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION 13:28, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
Thanks! It's slightly strange being back. Started 13 years ago on this simple game, and here I am once again. Lol. Thanks for the help! --DBHT 14:10, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
