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).

J7paul (talk•contribs•logs) For whatever reason, this guy decided to tag my talk page for deletion with the "notable" tag (probably because I tagged a few (Wi-Fi) smasher pages for deletion. PokemonMasterJamal3 (talk) 12:35, 21 August 2015 (EDT)

Funnygrunt69 (talk•contribs•logs) I know that this guy is already listed under the sockpuppet section. But he's been tampering with the PM character pages by writing that all of the heavyweights are lightweights. John PK SMAAAASH!! 20:51, 20 August 2015 (EDT)

Sockpuppet reports

Funnygrunt69 (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS) seems to have a similar edits to IP:70.197.24.242, which removes most of useful information. Luigi540 (talk) 14:45, 18 August 2015 (EDT)

Heads up. We got another one. Aidan, Master of Speed and Aura 22:54, 18 August 2015 (EDT)

76.234.34.31 (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS) seems to be User:Dr.Mario (who was blocked for inappropriate behavior and edit-warring a week back or so), based off his target pages and the addition of the exact same information that other users removed around that time. --Timson622222 (talk) 00:43, 6 August 2015 (EDT)

76.14.91.151 (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS) is making more or less the exact same edits as a new user named Bmal, which violate SW:NOTABLE. Nyargleblargle (Talk) 18:40, 7 August 2015 (EDT)

Template protection request

Judging by the recent edits on Template:Sonic universe, the template should be at least semi-protected, to prevent someone (especially an IP) from adding in unsourced/unproven info about DLC. Berrenta (talk) 14:26, 7 August 2015 (EDT)

Other policy breaking

1337 B33FC4K3 (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · B33FC4K3 WHOIS)

Look, I know he's super-talented and knows everything or something stupid like that, but he's an absolute jerk who really doesn't deserve to be on the internet at all, much less be a highly-respected user whose opinion is taken as fact. Heck, he was being a jerk to Miles (who I've stated my typical disdain for) and I still wanted to smack him across the head. Keeping him around despite his constant and ignorant breaking of SW:NPA makes this wiki miserable and makes the entire concept of NPA seem irrelevant, because no one really cares. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by you. Or maybe Nutta. 00:23, 21 August 2015 (EDT)

This. Fucking this. Aidan, Master of Speed and Aura 00:35, 21 August 2015 (EDT)

Have to agree. Serpent King (talk) 00:37, 21 August 2015 (EDT)

Agreed. That's not even the only thing he breaks, he's broken SW:YAV several times. Not only this, he keeps doing it even when told to stop. Ganonmew (talk) 08:53, 21 August 2015 (EDT)

Speaking of Miles, I feeling like I'm ain't trusting his admin abilities either since June 2014. Even though I am known to be hostile to Brian, I am more concerned about Miles and his admin judgment. Dots (talk) The Missingno. 00:40, 21 August 2015 (EDT)

I'll admit, he can be a little...*ahem* iffy at times... Aidan, Master of Speed and Aura 00:42, 21 August 2015 (EDT)

A lot of painful truths here. I am not as sure about this though. Serpent King (talk) 00:45, 21 August 2015 (EDT)

The next time either does something bad, I'm going to put my foot down and tell Toomai to give them a warning; while true they're good and knowledgable people, nobody likes misbehavior. Dots (talk) The 20XX player 00:52, 21 August 2015 (EDT)

fyi this exists Miles (talk) 00:59, 21 August 2015 (EDT)

i'd also like to point out that this was a request for something to be done about Brian. Requests for something to be done about Miles, who hasn't really broken any policies, should be taken somewhere else.

in related news, can someone do something about brian ---Preceding unsigned comment added by you. Or maybe Nutta. 16:34, 21 August 2015 (EDT)

True, Nutta. I'm surprised after all this time, Miles, Toomai, or OT have not done anything about this. Ganonmew (talk) 16:43, 21 August 2015 (EDT)

Its either that they feel bad for him because I, myself, provoke Brian a lot or they actually like his knowledge despite other users' complaints. :P Dots (talk) The Missingno. 17:59, 21 August 2015 (EDT)

We have similarly knowledgeable users (such as PokemonMasterJamal) who don't flat-out disobey policies with no sign of repentance. And he's not just a jerk to you, he's a jerk to basically everyone. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by you. Or maybe Nutta. 18:15, 21 August 2015 (EDT)

Same goes with PSIWolf. Their rude attitude to everyone they meet is why I am hostile to both of them. Not to mention, the latter basically flipped off the entire wiki, including Miles, who is an admin. Dots (talk) The Achiever 18:27, 21 August 2015 (EDT)

to be fair, PSIWolf hasn't actually done anything on the Wiki except for trying to remove his user page since 2013. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by you. Or maybe Nutta. 18:41, 21 August 2015 (EDT)

<reset indent>
Here's what I think:

1. Brian needs to have this conversation pointed out to him
2. Any blocking needs a warning and a repeat offense first. We do not have this.

That's all Serpent King (talk) 21:42, 21 August 2015 (EDT)

I can get 1 out of the way. Aidan, Master of Speed and Aura 21:45, 21 August 2015 (EDT)

Aidan just saved the wiki. Ganonmew (talk) 22:00, 21 August 2015 (EDT)

[1] Aidan, Master of Speed and Aura 22:01, 21 August 2015 (EDT)

Nothing else really needs to be said. Ganonmew (talk) 22:06, 21 August 2015 (EDT)

Also, I seriously laughed at your edit summary, SK. Why can't we? Ganonmew (talk) 22:08, 21 August 2015 (EDT)

We can, and this is the correct victory fanfare. And you all know it. [2] Serpent King (talk) 22:10, 21 August 2015 (EDT)

Serpent King and Nutta Butta: To say this in other talk page case, you can work with him or against him. In this case, it appears that you guys are working against him. I see him having an issue respecting with other users when I saw it on recent changes and talk page. Either he could of not brought that shit up in summary in the first place or it is user's problem, regarding metagame evolution and his strong knowledge, which means a conflict. It's more like you edit something and it is false on attributes and metagame, you provoked a knowledgable user with attitude issues. This is more like example from Wikipedia saying "Please be a giant dick, so we can ban you." I hate it when that happens, but I got used to that. He can say something harsh to my face whatever he wants, but I'm totally indifferent with his behavior, while I know some other knowledge.

To everyone who received his harsh behavior: I can't say this but feel sorry for you guys. Luigi540 (talk) 23:24, 21 August 2015 (EDT)

Okay seriously you people. At this point you're all at just as much fault for instigating as your target is, it's honestly kind of a witch hunt by now to the point where it's difficult to take any of you seriously. If I believe that Brian crosses a line, I deal with it. Until then, I'm tired of hearing this subject get overblown. Toomai Glittershine The Eggster 23:48, 21 August 2015 (EDT)

I don't think I've ever joined in on this type of discussion at all besides at one point mentioning to Brian quite calmly that he should calm down. I feel like this is some form of favoritism, because if any other user did anything like Brian does they would get banned on the spot. I don't see why you don't realize how uncomfortable it makes a majority of the wiki. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by you. Or maybe Nutta. 23:57, 21 August 2015 (EDT)

And how would you tell if Brian crossed the line? Just because he has the best competitive Smash knowledge outside Jamal (which yes, I would agree that the competitive section of SmashWiki has grown a lot since 2012 but is still developing) means that he's basically more important than other regular users, and that admins can't afford blocking him regardless if he breaks policies? Dots (talk) The SNES 00:27, 22 August 2015 (EDT)

I want to make this very clear. I have no personal vendetta with Brian. We've never really disagreed or even interacted on this wiki or anywhere else. I just see his behavior towards those who he does have disagreements with, and that's what I have a problem with. Also, I do not necessarily want him blocked, I just wish he'd cool it a little: incorrectness does not warrant rudeness. Serpent King (talk) 00:30, 22 August 2015 (EDT)
