User talk:The Goth Store Owner
Welcome!
Hi The Goth Store Owner! I saw you recently joined UDWiki and wanted to welcome you on behalf of Project Welcome! If you have any questions or need any help, don't hesitate to contact me at my talk page. Have a great day! Bob Moncrief EBD•W! 20:56, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
Thank you Bob. Looking forward to it. Now just have to do a minor eidt for someone making false claims. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by The Goth Store Owner (talk • contribs) at an unknown time.

Will do! Listen, I have an issue. I've been running the Goth Store in Ackland since I created this toon because there was nobody else minding the store. Has it was empty for awhile before that, which is why I mae the character. And I was surprised it was available ingame as well as on here! Anyone the person tagged to this page from a very long time ago hadn't been around at all> he only came back when I updated the page and now is trying to push me out.
It's a public page. I have just as much right to claim ownership as he does. Or maybe its a she I dunno. Anyway, he has been pking me with his goth store toon and had alt Eugene Leonhardt even continue to do it daily hopinhg to get rid of me. It wont work and I want equal representation on the Goth Store page. I thought about it and I dont have a right to erase he-she from existnece so maybe someone can put us both on there and list the ownership as contested. Im hesitant to fiddle with it too much yet until Im sure Ill get it right. I have no desire to ruin the page.
Also I suspect the RealSiege22 is a alt account. Seems to know way too much for a new account on here. The Goth Store Owner (talk) 00:42, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
I had another thought too. If Goth Store Owner is female and it seems so then we can be the male and female co owners. just a good idea i think. thx The Goth Store Owner (talk) 00:44, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
- A couple of notes:
- I'm not a sysop at the moment so I'm trying not to intervene in this, just offer general advice.
- The Goth Store page is technically the page of a group, not a location. Therefore, whoever founded the original group is generally considered to control the page. Your best bet to resolve the conflict is to declare a new group, maybe with a name like "The New Goth Store", and leave the old page to the old group.
- People are technically allowed to make multiple wiki accounts, and occasionally do for roleplay purposes — the exceptions are using multiple accounts to vote or comment on things (sockpuppetry), and that vandalism by one account will cause repercussions for all accounts.
- In-game zerging, or accusations thereof, are specifically not dealt with by the wiki staff, so any issues around it aren't that pertinent to the page ownership. If you have an issue with zerging, your best bet is to contact in-game groups to help you.
- Thanks. Bob Moncrief EBD•W! 00:54, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
Thank you. However the person claiming to be the goth store owner is not the page creator, so he has no more right than i do to claim it. His name is RealSiege22 sounds alot like an in game pker of me called The Real Spad. Both are ZHU on my contact lists. Just too coincidental. The Goth Store Owner (talk) 01:12, 24 August 2015 (UTC) So if I cannot have my name then neither can he right? I mean he's talkijng like he is speaking for goth store owner 3rd person on his user page so he has even less right to claim or modify my edit. I can prove I am The Goth Store OWner. I ll meet someone anywhere in game to prove it. Seems like this guy is pretneding not to be goth storre owner because i think he zerg cheats so if he isnt the goth store owner then the goth store owner has to come fight the claim themself right? sorry forgot to tag The Goth Store Owner (talk) 01:13, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
- "He has no more right than I do to claim it" — correct, he has no right, and you have no right. Please do not mess with a page for a group that has been inactive since 2009. The page has been repeatedly reverted (by RealSiege, boxy & Aichon) to its last version, exactly as it was before you edited it. Like I said above, if you want to claim to run the goth store, make a new group page, or simply put it on your personal userpage. Bob Moncrief EBD•W! 16:47, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
Official warning and proxy addresses banned
As per this case, I have banned the proxy IP addresses you were editing from. Users are not allowed to edit from proxy IPs on this wiki, and while the act of doing so is not in and of itself considered vandalism, we do ban proxies as we see them, and we do treat the use of proxies as an indication that the person has something to hide. If we later discover that you've been using them to hide your real identity and that you've been warned against such behavior in the past, we will not hesitate to treat your actions as vandalism, since we would no longer have a basis for believing that you're a newbie acting in good faith.
Stop using proxies and leave pages alone if they are owned by others (as the one in question is). Consider this an official (soft) warning. —Aichon— 16:45, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
