UDWiki talk:Administration/Policy Discussion/Prohibit Sysop Fraud

Hahaha.

I love all the little clauses and phrases you've thrown in there to basically automatically have Boxy convicted for (legally) editing your entry. Sorry mang but messing with A/VD is already Misconduct; you just want to "get" Boxy. Cyberbob  Talk  01:19, 1 October 2009 (BST)

What are you talking about, Cyberbob. This policy is clearly GOLD.--  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 01:22, 1 October 2009 (BST)

Forgive me, that was my hilarious friend typing some shit he thought was funny into the edit box I had opened while I was on the toilet. I completely agree with you. Cyberbob  Talk  01:24, 1 October 2009 (BST)

This policy will be retroactively applicable. Yep, that sums it all up.--Orange Talk 02:12, 1 October 2009 (BST)

You missed "No vote will be needed, just the proof (such as edit histories, contribution records etc.) being presented in a misconduct case will be sufficient to prove guilt of this offence." and all of the second-last paragraph. Cyberbob  Talk  02:31, 1 October 2009 (BST)

Oh, and the third dot point. Cyberbob  Talk  02:43, 1 October 2009 (BST)

So that would mean every sysop who has touched A/VD would be demoted. Brilliant. --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 02:35, 1 October 2009 (BST)

Every sysop whose touching of A/VD Iscariot disagrees with. Let's not paint him to be some kind of monster now! Cyberbob  Talk  02:43, 1 October 2009 (BST)

Oh dear. Of the three points, the bottom two are unreasonable. Sysops should have any right to rightly strike their own vandal escalations if the striking is legitimate. And for god's sake, that last point, "# alter the vandal data of a user contrary to that user's will" can imply that we can't add escalations under any legitimate circumstance, lest strike them, if the "victim" doesn't agree with it, and you're trying to embed that into policy? The wiki lawyers will have a fucking field day. They'd have to be one smartarse of a wikilawyer to try it, but it wouldn't be a stretch to imagine. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 05:24, 1 October 2009 (BST)

Oh look, it's already been brought up. Don't mind me then. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 05:41, 1 October 2009 (BST)

No idea why you wasted 703 bytes on this abortion of a policy, but that's your perogative I guess. Cyberbob  Talk  05:42, 1 October 2009 (BST)

I tried so hard, so hard, to find something witty to say. But honestly, this "policy" is sad. I mean SAD. I'm going to go cry and cut myself...--SirArgo ^Talk 06:48, 1 October 2009 (BST)

I also tried to think of something witty. Alas, I will go drink instead because that is far more productive than finding good things to say about this policy. --Maverick ^{Talk - OBR 404} 07:39, 1 October 2009 (BST)

This is amazing. So I alter a vandal data entry, and get taken to vandal banning, misconduct AND the serious fraud section. Truly amazing. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 08:49, 1 October 2009 (BST)

But wait! I can't be given a vandalism warning because that would be altering the vandal data of a user contrary to that user's will! --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 09:57, 1 October 2009 (BST)

Lol! --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 10:11, 1 October 2009 (BST)

Here's all the necessary wit for this policy...Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck you, Izzy. Conndraka^{TAZM CFT} 09:44, 1 October 2009 (BST)

A penny for my thoughts

This is bullshit. It's completely unreasonable and serves nobody but yourself. The only person who've we've had any major qualms about VD is you and it usually stems from your bizarre self righteous crusade for the benefit for the community. To be blunt, this place was much, much quieter without you and I'd hoped that your break would get you to calm down and actually contribute again rather than going off on one due to some perceived injustice. Please fuck off again, and leave us all in peace. -- Cheese 10:55, 1 October 2009 (BST)
