Userpage policy

Good idea on making one. I'd like to help you with it, if you'd accept my services. Cheezperson {talk}stuff 23:29, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Well really I was just going to take GWW's user page policy and modify it, though you're welcome to comment on it or submit your own draft if you feel so inclined. --Shadowcrest 23:38, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

No it looks good! Obviously, the image rules will have to change (administration here doesn't like personal pictures on userpages). Other than that, I think It'll work. Just put it up and see what people think. Cheezperson {talk}stuff 23:54, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Just as a clarification, personal images are OK if they are an image of you. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 00:02, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

I thought it was just one for smasher pages. So you're saying no personal images on userpages (unless they're of yourself). Cheezperson {talk}stuff 00:13, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Yeah

Uhm, Shadowcrest, I hate to ask, but is my signature accetable? Baltro [ talk ] 21:35, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Yeah. --Shadowcrest 21:43, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

The <big> code on the B doesn't disrupt text? ;D Baltro [ talk ] 21:46, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Not that I can tell... if I become aware that it does you'll have to change it, but afaik it's fine. --Shadowcrest 21:50, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Actually, it does look like it breaks it. I'll have to check and make sure, but it might be best if you change it. --Shadowcrest 21:51, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

What's wrong with your old sig, Baltro? Friedbeef1 Ho ho ho! 21:54, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Sorry for being a disturbance, but I changed it again. I'm pretty positive this one is acceptable, since it doesn't use the big code, but instead uses smaller characters and the small code. BALτʀο [ talk ]

I don't know if you already got this message, but: "All wikis will be "read-only" from 9am - 10am UTC Tuesday morning (that's 1:00am Pacific, 4:00am Eastern). During this time, editing will be disabled while we do some routine maintenance, but you will still be able to access the site." MarioGalaxy^Talk 23:22, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I got it on GuildWiki (where I'm an admin). I suggest you go alert the nearest admin and tell them to put it on MediaWiki:Sitenotice. --Shadowcrest 23:24, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Oh, I hadn't thought of that. Thanks. I'll tell MaskedMarth, since he's here at the moment. He already made a forum for this message. MarioGalaxy^Talk 23:25, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Do only sysops get that message direrctly? I got one at CD-i wiki (I'm a sysop there). Cheezperson {talk}stuff 23:26, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

You should also check SmashWiki talk:Requests for rollback. Y462 (T • C • E ) 00:08, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

I feel it would be wrong to express anything other than the truth here, no matter how bad it sounds, so here goes...

I am, frankly, disappointed. Nothing has been accomplished since my departure 10 days ago, and slightly more than nothing has even been discussed, with the comments on the RfR page and the creation of DE's new thoughts page being basically all. :/ --Shadowcrest 00:32, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Talk page messages

Hey Shadowcrest. This is something that I've noticed for a while, but I didn't think would be a big problem. Some users (such as yourself) usually reply to given messages on your own talk page (although that's what's supposed to be done, many users don't do that anymore or in the first place). Do you think we should try and make a template similar to this one from Wikipedia? Although, maybe we should use a different image, like maybe one of Mr. Resetti's pictures (you know, when he lectures players in the middle of a match). What are your thoughts on this? MarioGalaxy^{May Guthix be with you...} 03:06, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Doesn't anyone use the #s no moar? Blue Ninjakoopa^Talk 00:33, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

In IE7, they're broken. I've had this problem with bulleted lists, too. I'm trying to work out what they are. Additionally, there is no downside to using a hardcoded list- it's not changing anytime soon. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shadowcrest (talk • contribs)

Sorry. And what I said about his true interest in pokemon, I meant that he learns and studies everything so he can appear smarter and better than everyone else. Still, I was wrong, and I apologize. Blue Ninjakoopa^Talk 19:56, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

By the way, congratulations on your promotion to SysOp. I have no clue how you did it, but you made history. Blue Ninjakoopa^Talk 19:57, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

I think it's best you tell Gargomon to leave me alone. Blue Ninjakoopa^Talk 16:54, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Policy

You have an interesting concept: that SW:ROLL has had any sort of consensus. It hasn't. In fact the only two people to talk about a rollback policy of any sort are you and me. No one else has left their opinions anywhere about this. I disagreed with parts of your version, and you with parts of mine. So why, may I ask, was mine marked as failed while yours was added to the RfR page? Miles (talk) 02:41, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Because I, unlike anyone else, commented on the page. If you like, I can bury you in walls of text about why mine is better than yours, but after months of trying to get people to comment on the proposed policies- it's in the freaking sitenotice and still not a single comment has been posted on most of those proposed pages- I gave up on the effort, as it clearly was not going to be successful. I can point out various flaws in yours- you did not for mine, simply stating you liked yours better- and then you state you don't really care which is implemented, as long as one was. Seeing as I have one that I very clearly support over the other and you really don't, and I have arguments for mine and as far as I'm aware you don't for yours, I adopted mine. If it means that much to you, go start a discussion on the RFR page about whether you prefer mine or yours. --Shadowcrest 02:47, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

You are being far more civil than I had feared. I'll look into it. Miles (talk) 02:51, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

...er...what? --Shadowcrest 02:52, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Never mind. Miles (talk) 02:55, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Hey

RFD, now.Smoreking^(T) _(c) 01:43, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

plz halp :(

The Blue Blur gets this stupid idea that I'm the one that's been harassing L33tSilvie using other accounts, and it's beginning to annoy me. Your words have more impact than mine do. Blue Ninjakoopa 20:10, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

unbanned IP

Um, Shadowcrest? I'm pretty sure that IP is the same as 3 others that annoyed me with the same routine (one just did the same thing to me last week): Added a completely obvious fact to an article, and then informing me that he did so. The first to do this was from a month or two ago, but he actually wanted to brawl me first (which is pretty weird for an IP). I told him that if I win, he had to buzz off (didn't think he would keep to it, though, and I was eventually right). These guys all did the same thing, although I can't prove it's the same guy. All I know is that this IP isn't trying to contribute. MarioGalaxy^{Death has a price. I've paid it...} 23:47, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

If s/he continues adding pointless notes such as those, then I will reinstate the block. Until then, however, I will assume good faith and allow him to continue to edit. --Shadowcrest 23:49, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

OK. It just seems weird to me that all of these IPs keep informing me that they added an obvious fact to an article. But, hey, you're the sysop. You know better. MarioGalaxy^{Death has a price. I've paid it...} 23:51, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Less deference tbh. --Shadowcrest 23:52, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

My post

Did you delete my post? If you did, why?

I did not technically 'delete' it- is is still accessable by going to the page's history, and you can see individual edits by comparing them. I removed your edit because it doesn't belong there- there's a note at the top of the Tier list talk page that comments about rankings should be taken to the forums. --Shadowcrest 02:13, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Why it was deleted We don't need more complaints on the forums. - Hatake91 (talk) 02:27, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

WTF?

Why'd you protect the DYK template? Smoreking's edit was the correct one, so can you please change it back?? Blue Ninjakoopa 00:20, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

I protected it because:

1. Because I didn't feel like giving out warnings for revert wars
2. Because the edit is true. If you read it, it actually makes sense. Whether or not it belongs is a matter of discussion- put it on the talk page and wait for consensus. --Shadowcrest 00:30, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

So it makes sense now? Okay, I see how it is. Blue Ninjakoopa 00:32, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Here we go again...

Okay, that's it. I honestly don't know what happened to "Let's not make BNK angry so that it keeps him from blowing up and getting banned" attitude of yours, because it's changed to "The Blue Blur is innocent, so I'll back him up and call BNK a troll!", and I'm sorry for my recent trolling (you don't remember? Check PG's talk page and prolly TBB's as well... oh, and some of the forums). Will you please stop harassing me now?? KTHNX. Blue Ninjakoopa 21:33, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Screw all that, I was just wondering why you stood (?) there and let TBB accuse me of sockpuppetry. I've resolved the other part, with Miles' help, and I will no longer consult with those who annoy me. You know, that means no moar trolling, 'kay? Thnx, and reply as soon as possible! Blue Ninjakoopa 21:54, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Truly, I am not one that you can blame for trolling. The only other possible way that someone else could possibly have been involved is if they're baiting you. If they are baiting you (and from what I can see on wiki nobody is baiting you), then contact an administrator and do NOT reply to the baiter. Not only can replying result in a block for you, but you lose the "moral high-ground" or so to speak. "Maybe if you told PG and TBB to leave me alone, I wouldn't be so angry!" "The Blue Blur is innocent, so I'll back him up and call BNK a troll!" As far as I can tell, The Blue Blur and Paragoomba are "innocent", and you're trolling them, for what reason I have no idea. This is like the 9001th time you've tried to pass off your anger problems on someone else; I didn't buy it the first time, and I'm not going to buy it now. I'm sorry, but that is the truth.

Doing a quick contribs check produced these results:

• 1
• 2
• 3
• 4
• 5
• 6
• 7
• 8
• 9
• 10

Well, there you go. I have procured 10 examples of you posting something unnecessarily aggressive, assholish, and/or including personal attacks. I had to go back only 4 days to find them. So, that's 10+ examples of trolling in 4 days, and 8 of those have occured in the past 2. Do you see the problem here? :(

(I also do not see the accusations of sockpuppetry you’re talking about. Can you give me some links?)

Finally...I do not wish to come across as rude or condescending with this last comment, so I hope you will forgive me, as I deem it necessary in order to speak the truth:

To tell the truth, I believe that you've been lucky that neither I nor any other admin has banned you yet. To be frank, some others that I have spoken to are of the opinion that if someone bans you again, it ought to be lengthened to a permaban. We've been through this whole trolling stuff several times before, and you've never seemed to understand. The reason I personally haven't banned you is that I see a sincere effort to improve yourself (unless you're a very, very good actor who is pulling my leg for the lulz, in which case I bow to your skills). Your record is like a roller coaster - you have ups and downs. Usually, right after a ban or a serious conversation with an admin, your behavior improves. You drop most of the assholish crap and become a decent contributor. However, after a while you reach the top of the hill, and the drop begins - personal attacks etc. become increasingly frequent, until someone steps up and says something to you and/or you get banned again. And then you get back on the ride again...

I have chosen to excuse you for the recent offenses (though if another administrator does not, I won't contest their decision). In other words, I will not ban you right now, though another admin may. I truly do believe that you're not editing in bad faith or being an ass on purpose. But honestly, I won't be able to keep excusing you for much longer; one way or another, this behavior has to stop for good. --Shadowcrest 01:36, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

I didn't read the whole thing because I know I'm the one guilty of trolling/making personal attacks, I just wish you'd help me out a little moar. That's all I ask. :( Blue Ninjakoopa 01:43, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Please read the whole thing. When I write a WoT to reply to you and run it past 3 separate people to make sure it comes out good, you can probably assume I'm saying it because it's important. :( --Shadowcrest 01:51, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Okay, I read it. I know I've got everything mixed up; you've been letting me slide all this time. With all the trolling and flaming I've been doing, I could be banned any second. I apologize for attacking you, and hopefully you will forgive me. I never grasped the true definition of trolling fully, so I use the term loosely; act like a hypocrite and label others with the title.At least you know I'm improving (a little), because the old BNK responds to WoTs with cursing and attempts to demote intellect (calling you words such as "stupid" or "idiot", which you clearly are not). Blue Ninjakoopa 02:05, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

I'm just curious...

But i was playing peach earlier on Brawl, and peach bomber does look like she's hitting with her butt, but i could be wrong... ~Teh Blue Blur~^{~You're too slow!~} 17:39, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

It seems to me that, even if she is hitting with her butt (nintendo is a bunch of pervs :]), that most people seem to think it's her hip, and butt (also look at that person's contributions on the Toad article) seems less appropriate than hip does. --Alice 17:53, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

I agree with Alice. Unless Nintendo specifically comes out and says "Peach hits people with her butt", I'd like to keep that stuff out of main as much as possible. Death By Rape is an example of such stuff. Not to mention that IP's contibs on Toad (move) suggest that they are not contributing in good faith. --Shadowcrest 18:07, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

Deletion frenzy

While you're having fun with the deleting, please keep the Goombella trophy; that could be used on the List of SSBB trophies page, as soon as I add a new row. Thanks. ;) Friedbeef1 Love 23:13, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

The Talk Page

Not to be mean or anything, but there are some people without a home computer. I am one of them. My school won't let me on most of the sites. This is the only site I can find with the available source. Please consider what you comment before you say stuff that could be hurtful to others. SapphireKirby777 ~Behold! -.- 14:04, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

What are you talking about? --Shadowcrest 16:10, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

You were being an ass on his talk page (no offense) while making fun of my edit count. Blue Ninjakoopa 16:30, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Making fun of people is for trolls, and if you think I'm a troll then just epic lulz.

I had a reason to comment on your edit count, and it was constructive. If you followed my advice about less chatting and more editing, you'd be a better contributor, ye? --Shadowcrest 18:23, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Yeah. <--- Not trolling. Blue Ninjakoopa 19:12, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
