Sig Problems Boxy?

Maybe I'm daft but your sig looks the same as it always has to me. --Karek^{maps 2.0?!} 13:57, 21 April 2011 (BST)

I don't use a templated sig, so my old ones didn't change, but I can't seem to get the code I was using to work as a sig now, only a bare basic sig... ie. -- boxy 14:34, 21 April 2011 (BST)

Is the treat signature as wikitext box marked? --Karek^{maps 2.0?!} 14:57, 21 April 2011 (BST)

i take it this has somthing to do with the update? b/c my sig is broke also. the code is too long? guess i'm back to templated sigs. :P ----

bitch 15:08, 21 April 2011 (BST)

It looks fine to me. What browser are you using? ~

_{15:11, 21 April 2011}

no whats going on is where you enter code for your sig the text box is smaller.. so if you have a bunch of code. you are fucked. like boxy and I... I can only enter about half of it now. and the small date/time thing does not work with template sigs.----

bitch 15:16, 21 April 2011 (BST)

Oh I see. Well you can have a templated sig but subst it. For example here is preferences: {{subst:User:Vapor/sig}} {{subst:LOCALTIME}}, {{subst:LOCALDAY}} {{subst:LOCALMONTHNAME}} {{subst:LOCALYEAR}}. So the code for my sig is stored on User:Vapor/sig but when I sign, the code is subst'd and the template isn't called. ~

_{15:30, 21 April 2011}

Same as Vapor and mine is unaffected. Looks like that's how it has to be done now.--Yonnua Koponen^{T G}^P ^^^ 15:32, 21 April 2011 (BST)

oh i think i just thought of a way around it.----

bitch 15:42, 21 April 2011 (BST)

fixed i just added the time code stuff to my sig code with . and left the image stuff as a template. great now I get to keep the look i wanted. remeber this is how I wanted it in the first place.. win!----

bitch 15:47, 21 April 2011

One of the new features is an option to limit the size of sigs; evidently the default is less than we are used to. I suspect that it'll be easier to template the sigs than to get Kevan to change it.--The General ^{T Sys U! P! F!} 17:11, 21 April 2011 (BST)

Testies -- boxy 00:38, 22 April 2011

Just to butt-in but is it against the rules to incorporate the time stamp into your sig? or would that be wiki breaking?--Arthur Dent BIN LADEN IS DEAD!!!!! 14:11, 22 April 2011 (BST)

As long as you always sign with ~~~ instead of ~~~~ (inserting just the sig without the timestamp, thus avoiding double time stamps), it should work splendid. Not sure if it would work properly with templated sigs, though. -- Spiderzed █ 14:25, 22 April 2011 (BST)

Yeah ran into a problem with the new sig limits, has anyone told kevan?, because it is very easy to bypass it with templated sigs--

Arthur Dent

BIN LADEN IS DEAD!!!!! 14:35, 22 April 2011 (BST)

We haven't told Kevan yet because we're still finding out what all is broken and what we can just fix ourselves. Discussion is happening at UDWiki_talk:Administration/Discussion#Wiki_update_FAQs. In the case of signature length, I think the default value of 255 characters is being used in Default.php. Kevan needs to change &MaxSigChars to something other than 255 Ideally it would be whichever number was used before. ~

_{14:53, 22 April 2011}

yeah i bypassed with a combo of the two. and sign with ~~~--

bitch 14:58, 22 April 2011

Sweet, but can someone check it out for obvious coding defects? --

SIG PROBLEMS BRO

Honestly probably best if everyone just shuts up and gives him the week. Although, it is pretty fun to watch. --Karek^{maps 2.0?!} 19:09, 20 April 2011 (BST)

Meh. If they don't get the responce they're after, they'll just push harder -- boxy

A/RE

Looks like you're up, followed shortly by RHO and then Mis. Good luck to you, sir (not that I think you need it). ~ _{05:35, 24 March 2011}

Karloth

I just thought I'd come here and point out that all of Karloth's VD is pretty much non-harmful editing and thus a perfect example of what a lot of us spent years getting on Izzy for reporting as vandalism. I don't feel like bringing it up in the A/VB drama but I did think you'd appreciate and be able to see the similarities in how he was escalated and why so many of the admin team frequently clashed with Iscariot for reporting based on strict letter. It's a good example of why Judgement and Spirit is still part of the enforcement rules and what happens when they're removed. --Karek^maps?! 04:31, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, but that judgement cuts both ways. I appreciate the arguement in the case of his editing of the PK page. But the rest (other than the humourous suggestions one) seem to be the fault of his friends. Perhaps he should choose different ones to mess with, ones who wont report him to A/VB for the lolz. If a third party had reported him for either of the last two, I would have said, "meh, not vandalism, they do that shit". But when the participants themselves go out of their way to make us make a decision... we have to. The thing that forces it over the line for me, then, is the reason behind the "mock" vandalism... it goes from being done for laughs between friends, to being about making drama -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 07:13 23 March 2011 (BST)

I understand that but, there was a time where we would escalate the person actually vandalizing A/VB. Specifically the reporter and not the person obviously not doing anything wrong. It's sorta like saying it's bad faith by association doing it this way. --Karek^maps?! 05:16, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

The problem is that the smart arses (and yeah, that includes Karloth, and everyone who reports him) are doing this to "promote anarchy" (or some other similar "non-conformist" form of kewl). I appreciate it as an ingame roleplaying tool, and to an extent in their wiki contributions. But that's an intergroup or interpersonal interaction thing. Once it gets brought into the admin area, especially by page owners, we've got to say enough, and treat them like everyone else -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 13:03 24 March 2011 (BST)

Yes but in cases where it's not the page owners having a tromp about admin pages? I could understand escalating both users in cases like the Karloth one, the justification makes sense and while I would avoid it as much as possible personally in favor of targeting the person who escalates it too far it certainly does make sense. --Karek^maps?! 15:30, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

Anarchy has it's downsides.
But in this case, it all came out in the wash. Perhaps they have a point

A/VD

Just thought I'd provide this if someone felt up to linking my warning as I've noticed is done in many cases now. Here's the link for mine linkee. --Karek^maps?! 23:26, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Mmmm, Nubis breaks the deadlock. Nice -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 12:30 8 March 2011 (BST)

siggie ?

how do i make my time stamp small?--User:Sexualharrison 03:23, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

You can't do it with templated signatures. In my preferences => User profile => Nickname I have:
-- [[User:Boxy|boxy]] [[User talk:Boxy|talk]] • [[The Rules|teh rulz]] {{subst:LOCALTIME}} {{subst:LOCALDAY}} {{subst:LOCALMONTHNAME}} {{subst:LOCALYEAR}} (BST)
,and I also have the "Raw signatures (without automatic link)" checkbox ticked. Then I sign with 3 tildes (~~~) -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 04:52 5 March 2011 (BST)

that figures. i finally took the time to figure out how to that. this is the code i'm working with. when i tried adding stuff at the bottom it go all wonky. <div style="display: inline-block; height: 14px; width: 18px; overflow: hidden; vertical-align: text-bottom;">[[User:Sexualharrison| ]][[Image:Boobs.sh.siggie.gif|18px]]</div> [[User talk:Sexualharrison|bitch]]--User:Sexualharrison 05:03, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

finely figured it out. i just have to take off one of these ~ when I sign and the code works now. thanks for the help.--User:Sexualharrison

Good oh.... to bad it didn't work here though :P -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 12:30 8 March 2011 (BST)

yes it did.--

Give the guy a chance

In all honesty, I reckon it was far more my fault that the case exploded out of proportion than anybody else's. If you give Thad space and let him have a chance, I'm sure he'll end up proving himself to you.--Yonnua Koponen^{Talk ! Contribs} 10:40, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, sure... pretty much the first thing the arsehole does, is post up an A/VB case, and then when a couple of sysops disagree, he decides to fill the page with whine. And it's not like I didn't see it coming. Fuck him, he's had years to impress me, and he's given nothing, unlike the rest of you who are occasional arses

-- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 10:45 14 February 2011 (BST)

Fair enough, but I think you'll be surprised if you just give him some space.--Yonnua Koponen^{Talk ! Contribs} 10:47, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Juz read ^{teh rulz} How can I delete my wiki alt? -- ▧ ^{: : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :} 13:57, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

As long as you don't use it to avoid wiki consequences for your main account, you're not really braking any rulz -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 14:10 25 January 2011 (BST)

If you really have no use for the account any more, though, you can get it deleted by posting it to A/SD. It is best to do this with the actual account in question though (rather than with your main account) so that sysops know that you're not just getting someone else's page deleted -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 14:14 25 January 2011 (BST)

Thanks. In that case will just keep it, but won't use it. Deleting it may mess up any contributions that ac made. Perhaps. Thanks. -- ▧ ^{: : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :} 14:31, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

OK, looks like you decided to nuke it anyway. It won't affect the contributions you made with the account, because we don't/can't actually delete the account (you can still log in with it), just delete the user page for it -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 00:21 26 January 2011 (BST)

Question

u recently blocked my rommate with the username nexus and i assure u nexus is not a alt of me we just share a pc can u please unban him he would never vandalise wiki on purpose can u send me somthin of wut ur planning to do thanks--Zombieman 11 22:00, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

It's probably the fact you do everything so similar. Like the fact you don't capitalize I's , or use any punctuation, or the fact you both seem to miss the "g" of words like "thinking" or "something". Oh, and editing as User:Survivor 2.0 isn't helping things at all. --Ross less ne s s^{Want a Location Image?} 22:29, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

Which isn't against the rules (to my knowledge) since the alt in question is neither committing vandalism, voting illegally, nor evading a ban as Zombieman has only been warned, not actually banned. Unless I am missing something. Which is like totally possible!-MHSstaff 23:06, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

I'm not judging the usefulness of this, merely questioning the claim that these (now 3) accounts are between two roommates. --Ross less ne s s^{Want a Location Image?} 23:13, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

You just threw up a AVB case. What vandalism has Survivor 2 actually committed? How is this different from the Lois/Lois's alt case? This is drifting toward borderline checkuser abuse...-MHSstaff 23:16, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

It's using a second sock to try to establish that the first sock (which was used improperly) was a real person, which is just as bad.

23:19, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

Fair enough. -MHSstaff 23:20, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
