The Administrators' noticeboard is intended to be a page to quickly alert the administrators to issues that need their attention.

To make a request or statement, create a new section and provide a neutral, precise summary of events with thought-out reasoning, and, if possible, links to any pages with relevant discussions. It is also a good idea to notify any users involved with the request with a link to the section on this page. Make sure to add new sections to the bottom.

Report vandals and sockpuppets at the top of the appropriate section labeled for such reports at the using {{IP|Username}}, where Username is the name of the user or the IP vandal's IP address.

For reporting similar and unacceptable usernames, report them here instead of on this page. This is done to keep the reports in one place, and because unacceptable usernames can be more subjective (unlike vandal/spam accounts), which may necessitate discussion (which the linked page will be more suited to handle).

Vandal/Spam account reports

Nakamaru (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS) is impersonating the actual Nakamaru. I was in a restaurant chatting with the actual IRL Nakamaru after a tournament today, at which point he mentions that someone made a weird SmashWiki article for him. I check the history to see who did it, and it's a user with the name "Nakamaru." He is very sure it's not his account. It's someone pretending to be him. Ryxis (talk) 02:29, 31 May 2015 (EDT)

I am aware that Nutta Butta previously reported him. Regardless, I felt a new post was required as ping the admins about this, mostly for safety.

And frankly, these pages can be considered vandalism at this point, given how he has been explicitly warned multiple times in the past, with the most recent warning being the "last warning".

"Answer this, what's the point on merging this article on Pac-Man's page? It's not neccesary in need for a merge. Just like other glitches, they have their own page." -Smashworker101

Based on that quote, he is either A) misguided and/or misinterpreted the messages, or B) ignoring them altogether. To be honest, I believe it's option A, as he hasn't don't "true" vandalism, as of now, and is just simply confused, based on the last sentence of his comment.

Toomai pseudo confirmed they were the same (Check User, I presume?), he was probably trying to cover his ass with that last edit, so I feel no remorse (Some other vandal tried this, forgot who it was, but after the three days they just vandalized again), also, check the history, I beat you to the punch on him :P Laikue (talk|contribs) 17:13, 30 October 2014 (EDT)

Sockpuppet reports

Ok, so this is gonna be a bit out of whack (mainly because there's so many), but I think that you guys have the tools to find more sockpuppets.

I've noticed a string of IPs following the same format on talk pages, being that they simply add (Add sig here) instead of putting an actual signature. That being said, I've only found one, but I know there are more like it (I just don't know how to access said information).

The one I've found is 70.192.151.187 (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS), and I've seen a lot of other similar IPs. Aidan, Master of Speed and Aura 19:19, 5 April 2015 (EDT)

Treeview CSS

It would be nice if the following CSS could be added to make tree views as seen on this Minecraft Wiki article possible. I am planning to use this in a List of event matches (SSB4-Wii U) article to make the requirements for each event more clear. The CSS is included below. —Fenhl 15:27, 26 December 2014 (EST)

I hid the code you posted for page readibility.

Personally, I don't think we should be displaying the SSB4 events as a tree, but as a table, which I've been putting on-and-off effort into here. Even a lightly-edited image (say the events map with arrows added in) would be simpler than incorporating some relatively complex code for a single page.

VERY problematic ads - site is basically unusable for guests

I a bringing this up because this issue makes me outraged as an internet user.

This is in regards to the "Large" ads that show up at the bottom of every medium to large page on this site. If a page (ANY page) isn't extremely short, then the ad space at the bottom will load in two large "square" shaped ads, and these ads are always ridiculously heavy on memory usage. "Video Ads". I am not talking about ads that have animation, or those banner ads that have a video in them where you can "click to replay with sound". No, these are literally just video players and they load in a VERY high-quality, full-length video that eats up all of the browser's memory and causes the page to lag so badly that it's as if the user were using dial-up!

I will provide you a more specific example, but please keep in mind that this is just one example and this problem extends across all large pages. On a large page such as http://www.ssbwiki.com/Music_%28SSBB%29 it is nearly impossible to navigate the page because, directly below the infoboxes at the very bottom, there is a "table" element with two "iframe" elements inside of it. The id of one of these iframes is "sovrn_ad_unit_267940_async". This element is almost always a high-quality video that deals with either fashion or health on some unidentifiable flash video player. The videos feature logos that say "FashionTheater" and "HealthTheater", respectively. Clicking on these ads does nothing except pause the video; they do NOT take you to any advertisers webpage. I can tell that this ad is causing the immense lag because as soon as I delete the table element from the page, the lag disappears ENTIRELY.

On this particular page load, BOTH of the ads at the bottom resulted in this problematic ad. That's TWO INCREDIBLY HIGH-QUALITY VIDEOS PLAYING AT ONCE. Scrolling the page was nearly impossible. It took me TEN MINUTES to get this information because that's how slow the page was. This will happen on ANY page unless it is very short in length.

I see now that this still occurs if I have made an account, unlike some other wikis. This is a huge HUGE punishment for users of this site. What if someone is playing a Smash Bros. game and they want to look up some information really quickly here? They're going to be hit with this HUGE drop in performance, and then they will probably never come back to this site ever again. This is a huge problem for the hundreds users who stop by your site.

I was told previously that "video ads are a thing that cannot be avoided". This is absolutely, 100% untrue. This and other MediaWiki sites are the ONLY website I have EVER seen that has these kinds of high-quality video ads. I peruse the internet quite a bit, and there are some ridiculous and annoying ads on some of the biggest sites out there, but not a single one employs auto-play High-quality flash video play objects like this. I have contacted plenty of other websites to let them know that a bad ad was hampering my experience, and they have all promptly fixed the issue.

If you need further proof of how bad my browsing experiences are, I would be willing to film a video of the problems and provide this for you, but I don't think it needs to come to that.

Remember, I am absolutely not asking you to stop displaying ads. I support the use of ads, which is why I do not ever use adblocker. But these need to go. These aren't even ads because users cannot click on them to be taken anywhere; they are literally just tiny, high-quality flash video players. I highly encourage you to find out where they are coming from and remove them or replace them with something else.

Shadow2 (talk) 15:27, 8 June 2015 (EDT)
