pinata

My changes on the Pinata are not self-promotion. They are fact, just like the Red Rum statistic is fact. If it is not true, that is one thing, find someone with more recorded and I'll agree with you. But if it is true, then you should leave it. --Krazyxman 01:26, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

If you want to make a claim like that and have it stick, you'll need to provide evidence/proof to be displayed next to the claim. If you cannot provide such proof, it is highly unlikely it will remain on the page. Also, don't make the page Krazyxman, it will be deleted, all your info has to go on your user page. sorry. DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 01:34, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
I have the proof already on my user page which I now linked to instead of the other link. I was unaware of that possibility but now it is fixed. --Krazyxman 02:00, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
It's not a very interesting fact, and not really noteworthy enough to be on the main page. One guy, who's created 14 pinatas? And it's not proof that you are the "pinata master", it's just evidence that you're the only one who's bothered to collect the screenshots. Red rum were the first group to do it in any coordinated manner, which makes much more of an impact than one guy, and his reviver -- boxy 05:48, 12 December 2011 (BST)
The fact that I have done over 50 is a noteworthy statistic, but I have only started keeping track of them recently as I have said many times before. I have no reason to lie, have been playing the game a while now and have many people, both survivor and zed alike who can testify to my presence and actions in the game. Also, I have no reviver, and while the original intent behind Los Diablos was to utilizing the Pinata as a team strategy, I do not have any active players with which to utilize this opportunity with, and have been operating solo for quite a long time now and I don't even play any alts. --KRaZyXmAn 17:49, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

You know it's a real shame we're losing that one there. I certainly will miss his witty repertoire, the way he systematically decimates a point with his seamless logic, the unarguable confidence in the purity of his conviction. Oh what a loss of the weighty input he brought to the wiki on a daily basis, however will we cope in the absence of his discerning glare? Where ever will we find someone so willing to jump into the fray, the endless confusion, and help bring something better from the refuse heap as he? --Karekmaps 2.0?! 15:32, 29 August 2011 (BST)
people dont agree with me must be cause they are biased ablobloo -- ϑanceϑanceevolution 04:25, 30 August 2011 (BST)

This should go back on the page. I don't think it is confusing at all (obviously, because I think I'm originally the one who started putting the current time on elections), if you do, perhaps you should find some way to make it clearer, rather than removing it all together. It is a useful piece of information that saves people from having to find out the server time some other way, to tell when a vote is over -- boxy 21:30, 29 August 2011 (BST)

I don't know that I can agree with that assessment looking at the results since it's been implemented. It's the only significant thing that changed to cause people to mistakenly vote up to a week past the "deadline"(which before it used to just be the day not x absurd hour). As a user who made that mistake himself unintentionally I can at least verify it is extremely easy to do. Also we really shouldn't be setting essentially random server times for vote ends anyway so the whole thing really probably shouldn't exist, it doesn't bring anything positive to the system other than a date of completion. --Karekmaps 2.0?! 21:57, 29 August 2011 (BST)
Actually, the people voting after the deadline happened because people started linking promo bids on various forums, and people turned up ages later trying to vote.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 22:43, 29 August 2011 (BST)

Personally, I don't see that anything needs adding to the original (well, not the original... but the cut where he went back and rejiggered it, esp. the end), and I'm not sure that such film noir would sell any better these days, than the original did. Seems like cashing in on a classic name, yet again. I hope it's done properly, for the sake of name, but wont be expecting much.
Cynical, eh ;) -- boxy 06:55, 21 August 2011 (BST)
I agree. I think it has more potential than other unnecessary remakes but yeah... -- ϑanceϑanceevolution 10:56, 21 August 2011 (BST)
Remake or sequel? 'Cause I'm pretty sure it was a book first. --Karekmaps 2.0?! 12:29, 21 August 2011 (BST)
Crap, don't know why I said remake. It's a sequel, but is set in the same universe with no real ties to the first one (no harrison ford, etc). So I dunno hey. -- ϑanceϑanceevolution 13:50, 21 August 2011 (BST)
I'd be expecting a prequel, probably amongst the c-beams, near the tannhauser gate. A sequel about the coming replicant revolution/human rights movement wouldn't fit with the theme of the blade runner being pseudo-anti-hero character, pushing the profession to the clearly evil, IMO. Any other sequel would be just more of the same, with little to no hope of living up to the standard of the original for existing fans.
I don't like sequels and prequels much. Good ones are rare... and if a good one is made, it just encourages the dollars to be kept pumping in until they start making shockers. Case in point, Alien --> Aliens = great... then it starts going off the track until they end up with that bastardised AvP bullshite. Artists should know when their work is complete, and not be tempted by the bankers and accountants to make a quick buck by cheapening their masterpieces with knock offs Grr!

Humourous suggestions change

I cycled your Suggestions Policy Change as successful but I wasn't 100% certain of the changes needed to these cycling instructions. It's just a matter of removing one category and adding another, right? When voting closes, which template is added? {{rejected}}? ~Vsig.png 08:43, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

There is no need to close voting once a suggestion has been moved to the humourous section. Other than the ones deemed to be vandalism, they've always been left open indefinitely. Actually, we could probably look at re-opening those suggestions too, and removing the {{notfunny}} template -- boxy 09:49, 14 August 2011 (BST)
Ugh there's like 30 of them. Also it was discussed during voting that this policy change wouldn't retroactively negate past escalations. Reopening them now would open a can of worms in that regard I think.
So other than the change you made, is there anything else to update on Cycling Instructions? ~Vsig.png 17:53, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

Bot Banning

I think removing the reports would be the easier scenario, but unfortunately, I think we need to, unless a normal user one day gets caught in the net and we need to make sure they aren't improperly banned. Iirc, a bot reported recently hadn't actually vandalised yet, and had only just been created, so if this happens again (except a sysop does it, and it isn't actually a bot) it could be helpful. The way i see it, it's better if we have to put in extra work than if somebody accidentally gets banned. So, I too share your view of a report-free Utopia, but, alas, I don't see it happening... :( --Yonnua Koponen T G P ^^^ 17:46, 25 April 2011 (BST)

What information does logging the ban on the bots page, for a day or so, add? Most of those bots show no contributions once their pages have been deleted. Regular users have no way of knowing what any of them created.
BTW, what is this section ([[{{TALKPAGENAME}}#Donkey|<span style="color: Red">^</span>]] of your sig for? -- boxy 13:19, 26 April 2011 (BST)
I largely agree. Personally I think the documentation is a tad stupid, but I can see the reasoning behind it. And the link in my sig lets me jump to the talk page of any page my sig is on, which is helpful on admin pages, etc.--Yonnua Koponen T G P ^^^ 19:35, 30 April 2011 (BST)
I believe the theory was that people are more likely to see the report if it's on an admin page; you can't put to block log on your watch list, so it's more likely to get missed.--The General T Sys U! P! F! 20:30, 30 April 2011 (BST)
It's getting pretty hard to miss. More often than not, it's at the top of recent changes -- boxy 03:43, 1 May 2011 (BST)
Yes, but that's only if you log on shortly after the bot was banned.--The General T Sys U! P! F! 10:11, 1 May 2011 (BST)

It looks fine to me. What browser are you using? ~Vapor 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}} <sub>{{subst:LOCALTIME}}, {{subst:LOCALDAY}} {{subst:LOCALMONTHNAME}} {{subst:LOCALYEAR}}</sub>. 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. ~Vapor 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)

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)

Just to butt-in but is it against the rules to incorporate the time stamp into your sig? or would that be wiki breaking?--Weed.jpgArthur DentWeed.jpg 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--Weed.jpgArthur DentWeed.jpg 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. ~Vsig.png 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? --Weed.jpgArthur DentWeed.jpg BIN LADEN IS DEAD!!!!! 16:44, 23 April 2011
Your sig is bound to cause trouble by not closing the bolding tags. If you want a bolded timestamp, you are going to need to subst your sig so that all tags can be closed. -- Spiderzed 16:50, 23 April 2011 (BST)
Fixed for you, but if you want bold timestamp than as spider said, you'll have to subst it using magic words and three tilde signing. ~Vsig.png 16:54, 23 April 2011
or just have two bold groupings --Weed.jpgArthur DentWeed.jpg BIN LADEN IS DEAD!!!!! 20:20, 23 April 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. --Karekmaps?! 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 talkteh 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. --Karekmaps?! 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 talkteh 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. --Karekmaps?! 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 Tongue :P -- boxy talkteh rulz 11:55 26 March 2011 (BST)

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:
<small>-- <span style="text-shadow: #bbb 0.2em 0.2em 0.4em">[[User:Boxy|<span style="color: Red">boxy</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Boxy|<span style="color: Red">talk</span>]] • [[The Rules|teh rulz]]</sup> {{subst:LOCALTIME}} {{subst:LOCALDAY}} {{subst:LOCALMONTHNAME}} {{subst:LOCALYEAR}} (BST)</span></small>
,and I also have the "Raw signatures (without automatic link)" checkbox ticked. Then I sign with 3 tildes (~~~) -- boxy talkteh 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. <small><div style="display: inline-block; height: 14px; width: 18px; overflow: hidden; vertical-align: text-bottom;">[[User:Sexualharrison|<span style="position: absolute; display: block; font-size: 0px; height: 14px; width: 18px;"> </span>]][[Image:Boobs.sh.siggie.gif|18px]]</div> [[User talk:Sexualharrison|bitch]]</small>--User:Sexualharrison 05:03, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

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.

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

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. --RosslessnessWant 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)
