Vandals

Please list the names/IP's of potential vandals here. Also, if possible, tell me the page(s) they vandalized so that I can verify the claim and assess the damage. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 02:20, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

There is a problem on the Giga Bowser page. Someone edited the Captain Falcon section and renamed it the "captain fagot" section. There are a number of IP's that have edited the page and the section, though I cannot pick out who did it. Can you please end this stupid vandalization.--Oxico (talk) 20:39, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

86.151.161.180 seems to be... well... yeah. It's not that he is vandalising anything, but it just looks like he has bad spelling and too opinionated. I think maybe you could just tell him to check his spelling and stuff? Kperfekt722 (talk) 18:17, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

72.197.66.113 vandalised the "break through glitch" page, but i already undid it. Kperfekt722 (talk) 00:39, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Capefeather keeps on vandalizing things, by putting templates on everything that has no relevance to Smash Bros. He also made joke templates, one of them I put up for Speedy Deletion. He needs a ban. ParaGoomba348 (talk) 21:14, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

In my defense, I hardly call making two templates "keeps on vandalizing things", "putting templates on everything" and "joke templates". I copy-pasted from Wikipedia templates because I felt that the cleanup template would not make clear some problems along the lines of "doesn't get invincibility frames" (when you get invincibility anyway from the edge, so does that mean the invincibility stops?). I guess you disagree, so I'll leave it at that. "Template:Fix" was needed for "Template:Clarifyme" to work properly. I don't really know who this "ParaGoomba348" is, but I've been editing Wikipedia and Wikia pages for a while now and people have thanked me for it. I also would never "vandalize", never mind vandalize repeatedly as he falsely claims and exaggerates. And I certainly don't need to be banned for such a trifle. -Capefeather (talk) 21:24, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Facts

The fact I wrote that you removed doesn't need to be interesting. It just needs to be a FACT- which it was. I agree that the Bob-omb part was unnecessary but you shouldn't have removed the whole thing. -Schewe (talk) 03:45, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

No, facts that go on the main page do need to be interesting. The point of the main page is that it's catchy. If all our facts were just in the line of "Fox's reflector has set knockback" it would be quite boring. Only about a third of the facts that get put up remain up for more than 24 hours. We want the information to be interesting so that people have a reason to continue reading this wiki. As for your specific fact, we had something very similar a few weeks ago and it too got taken down for not being interesting. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 04:21, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Ok, I see. My apologies. -Schewe (talk) 08:33, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Thank You & Apology

Thanks for warning Zmario. It irritates me to no end when people think this is an image-hosting service. He removed the speedy deletion template four times on his Smash Card. I've told him again and again to upload it to an image hosting site, but he won't.

I made categories to unattended articles, yet not marking them for deletion. That just puts more work on you and the other sysops, you have my apologies. (Wolf O'Donnell (talk · contributions) 05:18, 28 June 2008 (UTC))

Email

I have some things I'd like to tell you/ask you. I don't want to announce it in public, so could we please discuss in email? (Wolf O'Donnell (talk · contributions) 23:12, 28 June 2008 (UTC))

Opinions On Users

Wolf O'Donnell and I were discussing this issue last night. You see, Zmario, Kperfekt, and I all have a section on our user pages titled "My Opinion On Other Users". Basically, we type a user's name and describe what we think about them. However, Zmario's section got deleted by Randall, because he believed it was a form of a personal attack. However, I read Zmario's section myself, and he had nothing offensive on there. So, I turn to you in this confusing predicament. What do you believe defines a personal attack? If you simply state that you don't like someone, is that a personal attack? Was making a section of this nature a potential personal attack to begin with? - GalaxiaD (talk) 16:59, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

I've seen each of your "opinions" sections and no, they don't constitute personal attacks. However, I really don't think there necessary on this wiki either. As much as I am glad that you all think I'm a great sysop, Randall has a point that they could turn into personal attacks. Some of the comments about him in particular were quite close and I can see why he would take them as an attack at him. If you want to let users know what you think of them, use there talk pages but be respectful and polite. But for the sake of ending drama that never needed to be started, let's get rid of the "opinions on users" sections. I'll let each of you take care of it yourself. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 19:52, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Alas, their continued correspondence is riddled with personal attacks and petty name-calling--thanks for trying to mediate all this, CH, I appreciate it. But they're as good as banned as soon as I find the time. This is not a constructive environment with this garbage at the forefront and from my point of view, it'll be tough to get the wiki back on its feet unless they take a light vacation. --RJM ^Talk 22:08, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Randal, don't ban them yet. I'm going to issue each one of them a final message telling them to end all of this. If they do not heed it, I won't get in the way of you doing what you need to, but please let me give them this one last chance. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 01:45, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

I got your message, CH, and I posted an apology to Randall himself earlier. I've also asked my friends to not talk about him anymore, in hopes of staying on this wiki. I wouldn't want to get banned, and I assume my friends don't want that either. We'll treat him with more respect, I promise. I'm ready to move on and improve this wiki, just like you. Moreover, I just want to thank you for sticking up for us. You're a very nice person and an excellent sysop. Keep up the good work, dude. - GalaxiaD (talk) 02:09, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

well, uh first I came here to ask you if paragoomba348 (or whatever those numbers are) got banned. also, whats up? lol Kperfekt722 (talk) 19:19, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Paragoomba got banned for 50 hours for removing deletion tags from an advertising article that he made. His ban is now over. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 19:52, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry for bothering you, but could you please help with the decision regarding Super Smash Bros Rush's deletion? (Wolf O'Donnell (talk · contributions) 23:10, 29 June 2008 (UTC))

Yes, this is over

Sigh, thank you for going in there and giving us a warning, whereas Randall would have banned us on the spot... JtM (talk) 02:04, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

When I said this is over, I meant the we were not going to comment on anyone any more. Stop making comments on what Randall would've done like it's a bad thing. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 02:06, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

ok, im done. thank you for bringing this to all of us. uh, you do know that wolfodonnel and randall were never butting heads, right? Kperfekt722 (talk) 02:09, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

I thought it's been over for a while. Well, sorry anyway, and I got Brawl, if you wanna play. Ike6481 (talk) 15:23, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Honest to god unrelated note

How do I reach the banned users log? i swear this has no relation to the "soap opera" that went on, but instead has to do with one of my jackass friends that i think might have vandalised this wiki. Cuz if he did imma have to go kick his ass lol. Kperfekt722 (talk) 02:17, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

When you're in the recent changes page, there's a list of logs at the top. One of them says blocks. That's the one you want. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 02:20, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

If you want to access it in the future, just go to special:log, then click the correct dropdown. --Sky (t · c · w) 02:26, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Sky2042

I'm sure you're aware of the apology I posted to Randall on his talk page during the last hours of the "soap opera". However, I recently checked back to that section to see if he left a response. I saw a response, but it was instead from Sky, and he stated that my friends and I must (and I mean MUST) contribute to this wiki if we're to stay on here. He's basically forcing work upon us and stating that we're a "club" that doesn't belong here. Even though we've promised to no longer personally attack people and we've never vandalized any pages here, he's still saying he'll block us if we don't work. Granted, making contributions to this site is something we enjoy very much, but we like to converse with each other even more. That's what a TALK PAGE is for, right? I'm once again concerned that I could get banned. Overall, I just don't feel safe here anymore. - GalaxiaD (talk) 05:37, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Clarinet Hawk, I hope you don't mind if I state my opinion here. Isn't the main reason to be a user here is to contribute to the wiki? I don't think you should be banned if you're inactive, although you should do more than talk most the time. No offense.(Wolf O'Donnell (talk · contributions) 06:11, 2 July 2008 (UTC))

Oh, on another note, he said you may leave if you do not do anything to improve the wiki besides MySpace it. (Wolf O'Donnell (talk · contributions) 06:27, 2 July 2008 (UTC))

It's not that we don't contribute at all, it's just that we don't make that many. I recently contributed to the Groudon article today, and my friends have also made contributions here and there. I'm willing to admit that Zmario and I haven't made enough contribs to become sysops, so you can remove our applications if you wish. - GalaxiaD (talk) 06:38, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

I'm sure Sky didn't mean that you will be banned for inactivity. What he meant is that the primary reason for being a user on this wiki is to contribute content to it. If you have occasional outside conversations with people (like wishin someone a happy birthday on their talk page), that's fine. However, creating SmashChat pages and using user talk pages like e-mail is not what this wiki is for. There are numerous free e-mail, chat room, message board, and instant messenger services avalible on the internet. If you guys want to chat, do so there. We're not going to ban you simply because you only post once a week. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 14:19, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Fail!

Once again I fail at helping. I tried to help but in the end if just ended up making more work for you sysops. Thats another good reason I want to become a sysop. I don't want to do anything bad, I just want to help like I tried to do. I want to merge page histories. I want to ban spammers. I want to do it all. Im even a featured user! But, alas, I still fail. I don't think I'm EVER going to be sysop material. Rita is right. Maybe in a few years. Zmario (talk) 17:29, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Don't take it so hard, man. I made the mistake myself a few times, even now that I am a sysop. I know that you try to help around this wiki, even if you do occasionally get on my nerves. Just keep doing what you've been doing. To be honest, it's no more work for the sysops, I just don't want you having to bother with edits that are going to get undone as part of the maintenance. Again, thanks for trying to help out. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 17:32, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

how can i get rid of the note you left me about my ban please tell me on my talk page, Colter111

I apologize about giving the vandal warnings instead of contacting you about it.. I shouldn't have given it a chance.. (Wolf O'Donnell (talk · contributions) 02:29, 4 July 2008 (UTC))

Oh, the warnings are forged. (Wolf O'Donnell (talk · contributions) 02:30, 4 July 2008 (UTC))

Don't worry, you did the right thing giving the warnings. I added that template so that I could seen who had been doing vandalism. I just happened to log on at the right time to catch that prick. What do you mean by "the warnings are forged?" Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 02:45, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

You told me to "forge the warnings". I assume you meant to ignore/remove them? (Despite that they're not removed). (Wolf O'Donnell (talk · contributions) 02:46, 4 July 2008 (UTC))

That was supposed to be forget. One of the many funny typos that occur when I've had a bit to drink. Just ask my roommate. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 02:49, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Anti-Vandal Script Userpage

Hello. I was wondering if I could create then add the text "location of anti-vandal script" to the userpage of the Anti-Vandal script? To those who use it, it would make the format much better. (Wolf O'Donnell (talk · contributions) 03:36, 4 July 2008 (UTC))

Blocks

Use reasons in your blocks, "Same reason as last time" "I told you to knock it off the first time" "I already told to not to do this crap. Now you get a two week vacation." are unacceptable. Use real reasons. Blocks show up on a global blacklist and when they edit somewhere else on wikia, and we lookup the ban, those kinds of reasons tell us nothing, and we just delete them. --Charitwo^Talk 23:56, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Smash Cult

Yes I must agree with you on one thing: we have cluttered the recent changes with stuff on the Cult of Personality. But does stuff edited in the watercooler show up? Could we use that? Oh, and our team logo was deleted. Other crews have downright stupid images as their logos or "mascots", so why can't we have our own? The Gundam Kitty for one is a really stupid unrelated image and a crew is allowed to use that. At least ours had Smash Bros. characters on it!--Oxico (talk) 13:34, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

No, watercooler still shows up in the recent changes. I would recommend looking at a site called "proboards." I used it for a class and it worked pretty well. One person starts up the board, and the others create user names and passwords, but they all need a master password from the creator. It works just like our forums section does, except limited access means no trolls. As for your picture, I'll take a look at the situation and get back to you. We're honestly still trying to figure out what constitutes legitimate content since the merge. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 13:46, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice CH. I'll look into proboards. I like the idea of zero vandals. --Oxico (talk) 13:50, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

I made the proboards....now what? How do people join in?--Oxico (talk) 01:38, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

I honestly haven't used probards myself in over a year. There should be some kind of FAQ on the site. What I do remember is having the URL of the main area of the board that my TA created and going there to sign up. Maybe you should circulate that URL?

SLAPAHO Vandals

EDIT: Oh, and watch your edits to my smasher page. That last one may constitute vandalism. *Stupid fake Times New Roman smiley face*.

That last episode of vandalism to our crew page was frickin' hilarious. Did you read all that?

Honestly, I did think he was trying to get at us, but of all the attempts, that most qualifies as 'epic fail' for intimidation/libel and 'epic success' for comedy routine. I like his style. Keep his bans short. Semicolon (talk) 19:38, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Hey, just got back from vacation

Sorry I haven't returned your calls...my phone won't hold a charge for more than a day and a half and my charger is lost, so it's been essentially out of commission.

Good news is I'm back from vacation and we can begin to communicate via the wiki. You said you had an idea for the UISCS last I heard. Pitch it high and slow. Semicolon (talk) 21:02, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Sorry about not being there...I usually log onto the wiki once a day so I didn't get the message. Plus, the woman was over. It seems complicated...but if there's a lot of back and forth, we can just use the UISCS talk page for your proposition. Semicolon (talk) 17:53, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Understood. I will get you an answer on that front as the time is fast approaching, I understand, but I need a few things. 1. The dates. 2. The times. 3. and Any relevant specifics for all proposals (me coming out/me not coming out etc.). On a different note, I expected my housing contract mail to have arrived already, and it hasn't. This is distressing to me. Have you already received it? Semicolon (talk) 01:47, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

I do not feel that this information is trivial at all. I feel that it is quite valid. Although, even if it were trivial, that would still not be grounds for deletion.
