Revision as of 03:54, 26 August 2008

Nota bene before posting here

Post new comments on top, please. And sign them.

If you wish to discuss issues around wiki-edits, etc., feel free to do so below.

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.

Trolling and drama-whoring will not be tolerated in any event, and will be deleted without comment.

Thanks for your time. ;)

Here is an archive of past discussions.



Excuse me...

...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.

That said, thank you for your editorial help and correction. I hope that any future correspondence can be on friendlier terms. Finn the Fox 23:36, 24 August 2008 (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. A lot of them are quite good, and helpful to zombies. SIM Core Map.png Swiers 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.--Karekmaps?! 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...--SirArgo Talk 00:16, 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.
And yeah, I do believe he developed a lot of those ideas. I remember voting on them.
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. SIM Core Map.png Swiers 04:54, 26 August 2008 (BST)
