Chat

what do i do if i think an OP should be De-Oped "Alpha"

You can message another op on the chat and make your case. You can send me a PM on the forum if you'd like to provide a few more details on this. --Steve (talk) Get Firefox 00:02, 2 January 2008 (EST)

how bout Aim? "Alpha

I won't be on AIM tonight. You can email me if it can't wait until tomorrow. Otherwise, I'll be in chat tomorrow too. --Steve (talk) Get Firefox 00:10, 2 January 2008 (EST)

I sent it and it is urgent 'Alpha"

GJ

This is what the Old One told me:
You must travel for three days and three nights with no food, water or provisions through the Argonne Forest. After such a journey, you shall come upon a monument to the great Shroom of Argonne. You must climb to the top of said monument and meditate for a further three days. After which, the long lost name of the Almighty ShroomKing of Argonne shall be revealed to you. Take a shard of the great rock and carve the name in your flesh. You will then have the power to de-op ONE op of your choosing by calling out the ancient spell of Doomhammer:
"I. AM. OVERSENSITIVE TO MATTERS THAT PERTAIN TO ME NOT!."
Thus, it shall be done. -- Shyghost.PNGChrisShyghost.PNG 00:07, 2 January 2008 (EST)

That guy can't be trusted, he is making like 10 spam accounts on userpedia. We don't have definite proof, but even if it isn't him, he still can't be trusted! HyperToad He also impersonated Alphaclaw!

Great Game

Userpedia Closing

I haeard something about the sysops are in a disscussion about closing Userpedia. An answer should be; I thought we created Userpedia for a reason. Didn't we create it because we were getting too distracting with sprite comics and such? Well it will happen again if we close Userpedia. GrodenE T C El Or was it just a rumor Wayoshi spread -_-'

I have no idea. --Steve (talk) Get Firefox 03:30, 5 January 2008 (EST)
Steve has no connections with Userpedia. It was made by Xzelion and Sadaharu. 3dhammer.gif 3D, AAAAAARH 3dhammer.gif
It's impossible to close Userpedia, sysops here basically aren't sysops there. It's my personal opinion. Minimario here says sprite comics were too distracting, and the problem's fixed by moving them to another wiki. Guess what, Mini-M? Userpedia is sucking people away from this wiki because it continues to be even more distracting. That's why I want it closed. Wa Yoshihead.png TC@Y 09:19, 5 January 2008 (EST)
You can't close Userpedia just 'cause people are over there more than here. They have a right to be on what sight they want to. If they're neglecting the wiki that's their problems. I spend more time here than there and even I think that's unfair. You wouldn't like it if it were the other way around, would you? I'm not trying to be rude, but I don't see a reason to shut down a site just because some people like it more than here. — Stooben Rooben Sorry if I offended someone.

Sorry if this is an annoying question or if I'm wasting your time here, but do you happen to own Both the 360 & Halo 3?, Also is it possible to block an Ip using a wildcard (like how it can be performed on the forums) Mario riding YoshiXzelionETC

Why are you asking about Halo? This is the second time I've been asked that question so I find it kind of odd. Yes, I own a 360 and Halo 3. I've never seen anything about blocking wildcards with MediaWiki, so my guess would be no, but I've never actually tried it. --Steve (talk) Get Firefox 19:49, 11 January 2008 (EST)

Top Ads

Not only is the new ad line at the top annoying, it is blocking the sitenotice. Wa Yoshihead.png TC@Y 15:48, 6 February 2008 (EST)

The amount of revenue that the site makes off the ads recently plummeted out of nowhere. I don't know why, I don't like the top ad unit either, but this is definitely a predicament for the site.

Censoring

There's currently an ongoing discussion about whether or not to censor Bob Hoskins's quote on the Super Mario Bros. movie, which reads:

The worst thing I ever did? Super Mario Brothers. It was a fuckin' nightmare. The whole experience was a nightmare. It had a husband-and-wife team directing, whose arrogance had been mistaken for talent. After so many weeks their own agent told them to get off the set! Fuckin' nightmare. Fuckin' idiots.

Would a censoring of the word "fuckin'" go okay with you or are you following Wikipedia's policy of not censoring anything? - Cobold (talk · contribs) 14:04, 9 February 2008 (EST)

Censoring the word with asterisks or anything similar seems kind of silly. I wouldn't be against leaving out some sentences like in Wikipedia's quote template.

Well, I'm not sure, since I can't get to them. And I'm not sure how minor it was when it started, but he modified my sig to say things like "Ghost Jam is the best person ever" after I said bad things about him in my sig. </dumb rant> ~Uniju(T-C-E)

You've been trying to push my buttons for several days now. I changed your sig ONCE as part of the joke you started (which included a hint for you to stop), in which you included the use of '@$$hole', minus the obvious censoring. I intended to partially suspend you, but it didn't take for any number of reasons. -- Shyghost.PNGChrisShyghost.PNG 19:19, 16 February 2008 (EST)
And because I'm not a mod, it's fine for you to push my buttons? And unless stated otherwise(which I have no idea of knowing) only the auto-censored swears should be against the rules, right? Anyway, I don't think Porple wants an immature spam war between a spammer and a spammy sysop on his talk page. ~Uniju(T-C-E)
I don't push your buttons. Every problem that has come between us has been instigated by you. As for your question, we only have two auto-censored swears, but that doesn't make it ok to run around called people assholes, just in the same way it's ok to own a gun, but not ok to run outside and start randomly shooting people.
And don't give me this garbage of what Steve would or would not like. If that mattered, you wouldn't have started the topic here. -- Shyghost.PNGChrisShyghost.PNG 19:29, 16 February 2008 (EST)
I didn't "start this garbage", I informed him of the fact that I was flaming and you where abusing power. And all you basically said was "He started it!" like a kid trying to get out of being yelled at for punching someone. ._. I'm not saying that I'm NOT just saying "He started it!", but it's weird being in an immature argument like that from someone who's supposedly like twice my age. ~Uniju(T-C-E)
And you're using the "I'm not touching you, I'm not touching you!!!!" game that children use. Every time, with very few exceptions, that I try to do my job, you take issue with it, attack me and then, when I say ANYTHING to you, you act like you're the victim and run to daddy for help, very much like you're doing now. You can accuse me of being childish all you want, but you're right up there with me. -- Shyghost.PNGChrisShyghost.PNG 19:44, 16 February 2008 (EST)
I might be acting as immature as you, but I'm a lot younger than you, plus I'm not a mod on the forum, so I have an excuse. :P ~Uniju(T-C-E)Porple is so gonna be ticked when he logs in.
Turning that excuse on it's ear, you being young = having a lot to learn. However, I don't see you learning. In fact, I see you becoming worse.

Ads

Supposedly this is only happening for some people, but at least for me and ChaosNinji(they supposedly prevent him from being able to use MarioWiki's chat applet), the ads are on the left side of the page, and are kind of annoying, and for some people are supposedly covering up parts of the page itself(for me, the page is stretched around it, but their certainly still kinda annoying). I'm not sure what's up, but I don't think their suppose to be like this. <_< ...Or are they?

Hello Steve, back at the porplemontage studios wiki where you made me sysop I did a little cleanup. I canned ThunderCS/Main Page but there was something odd about it.

Proposal Notice Template

Hey, Steve, do you think something like this would come in handy for articles under a proposal's debate?


It would be posted at the top of an article (like right now SNES and SNES Mouse for example), but I don't know if it's a good idea. — Stooben Rooben I figured you'd be the one to ask.

Nice idea. IMO this would be a good idea. Because while the proposal for the Bob Hoskins article was running. I believe users were still editing the page. My one problem with it is, some users may take it the wrong way. And believe that you shouldn't make any major edits to the article. Also maybe the link to the proposals page should be fixed to link to the appropriate proposal, like the link would be this. Thats just my two cents on this suggestion. Mario riding YoshiXzelionETC Stooby = Genius
Thanks, Xze. So, it should look more like this then:

  • Cobold I don't see nothing new on my talk page which u gave me a link to. X06 16:13, 5 May 2008 (EDT)(EDT)
  • Hold up a second this is almost laughable. That Ashley thread had nothing to do with me getting banned. And it shouldn't have there was nothing wrong with it. It's not bannable to be silly. He claimed it was for "THAT WAS SOME PEOPLE HERE MUST BE SMOKING" comment. I got no idea what's he's talking about I don't remember what I said. Was that taken as a sexual comment I KNOW FOR A FACT I WAS NOT MAKING NO SEXUAL COMMENT. I have no idea why, I can't even understand what I was saying. What's the whole quote? It seems like I was taken out of context. All I can make of it was that they thought I was saying I or myself is smoking something. That's bad? I heard people joke that Wayoshi was gay on the forum. The mods certainly can not be serious for suspending me for even 10 seconds, let alone forever, for that quote. There is no way. This ban must be lifted immedialty. Then again, I do not remember even saying that until Blitz showed me the quote. Perhaps I was misunderstood to have meant something bad, but I assure you, I MEANT NOTHING BAD. I can not see the whole topic, or the rest of my post so I dunno what's going on but I think I should be unbanned this instant. I apologize if whatever it was I said(I have no recollection what I said, honest to God), I know for a fact I meant nothing bad cause I wanna stay on the forums. X06 16:30, 5 May 2008 (EDT)

Problem

Please, undo your last edit in the Mediawiki monobook js (the last one you put the collapsible table syntax), because it doesn't work. ¢oincollctor rsitem209.png 01:14, 6 May 2008 (EDT) the feature needs also a navbox syntax in the mediawiki monobook css in order to work the collapsible table...

Popple Kong

Hey again Steve, I am making a playable video game (codenamed "Popple Kong") that for Userpedia, and I wanted to ask your permission for two things. Keep in mind that this game is based on Doneky Kong. 1) Is it OK to post playable games on Userpedia, and 2) Can I use your sprites in the game, you'll replace Mario. So, can I?? Glitchmansig.PNG Glitchman (talk · contribs) Glitchmansig.PNG

Steve doesn't have any jurisdiction over Userpedia; you'd have to as Xzelion if the game is okay. Asking for his sprites is fine though. — Stooben Rooben 18:19, 10 May 2008 (EDT)

Server Switch?

Hey Steve, can we consider a Server Change? Lately we have been getting alot spammers coming to our channel (resulting in bans, bans, and more bans). All I think of is that Freenode might not be a bad place to try, theres also another server (I think it was Esper) that my brother uses, apparently its not bad. Mario riding YoshiXzelionETC

A Bot

Hi Steve. I am currently making an Anti-Vandalism bot for this wiki, and I needed to know a couple things: 1) Is it OK if I can make a bot for this wiki? 2) If it is OK, can I test it a couple times? 3) Once I make the account (and if it's OK), could you add the "Bot" userright to it? I just thought I should ask you before making a drastic change. ;) BLOC PARTIER.

It doesn't look to me like we need it. Our sysops have always been pretty good at their job. --Steve (talk) Get Firefox 19:20, 2 June 2008 (EDT)

Back-Up Operator

Hey Steve, I was wondering if I could be a back-up. Now this is your decision, and I wont start flaming you or anything if you say no. My reason is that sometimes Ops are here and there and other times No ops so there should really be someone to look out and im on chat most of the time.

Please take this to consideration, Super-YoshiMust...eat...sig...Talk? C???

Anger Management Problems

My anger management problems got me blocked on Userpedia... again! Do you think that I should've told the other users there right after I joined? That way my actions would be less likely to get me blocked if they're withing range of "induced by slight anger management problems"... that is if the sysops there are the understanding kind, which at this point I can tell that they're not... at least towards me. Could you please knock some sense into them, cause If I try to I'll get blocked by Blitz. Currently the're being insensitive slobs that only care about themselves and victims other than me. I"M A VICTIM, A VICTIM OF FALSE ARREST (I was blocked because they thought that I flamed Toadette 4Evur)!!!

Forum Topic

Could you please delete this topic? It definitely seems inappropriate for young children (hmmm... and probably all of us).

Xzelion - Power abuse on chat.

Seriously. I was talking in caps, which apparently he has something against... and he banned me. Right off the hook. No kick. Not even a warning. He just banned me. I say something should be done. - SiFi 13:01, 2 July 2008 (EDT)

I have you signing off at 13:08. Does that make me crazy? --Steve (talk) Get Firefox 16:55, 2 July 2008 (EDT)
No more than usual. I seem to remember all caps being an auto-kick anyway. -- Shyghost.PNGChrisShyghost.PNG 17:03, 2 July 2008 (EDT)
Let me defend myself here: This was the other day, SiFi has always been disruptive in chat, and talking in all caps & annoying the other chatters. I told him to stop, he refused, and it was an unanimous decision by the ops active in the room to ban him. Mario riding YoshiXzelionETC
Xzelion said "Stop talking in caps.". That much is true. Then I asked him what was wrong with talking in caps and he banned me! As Ghost Jam points out, that's worth a KICK, not a ban. - SiFi 11:31, 3 July 2008 (EDT)
SiFi, your side seems to a bit faulty you said you were not warned, and right now you just admitted you were warned. Also your side is also highly-exaggerating this, there was a period of at least 10 minutes from which I told you stop and when you were banned. I'd just like to get that out of the way. And you used CAPS over an extended period time, over that time I warned you several times to stop, all of which you chose to ignore. Not only this but hes had a record of breaking the rules, such as Sockpuppeting, Impersonating, Nick Abuse, Flaming, and Spamming. And like I said before, it was an unanimous decision by the active chat ops to carry out the ban. Mario riding YoshiXzelionETC

Inappropriate Ads

During my semi-normal routine to get into the chatroom, it seems that those ads came back again. Again, the ads mention of saying “Meet Sexy Persians HERE!”. It is a shock that the ad filtering that you have added in for yourself to manage the ads won't go away. Here are some sample links:

http://iranianpersonals.com/?affiliateID=google4Ir&gclid=CMHpqYfpqpQCFSEbagodyGyWtw Site

Would this help remove them? RAP.pngRAP... Please reconsider your actions with the ad revenues.

There are no ad filters; I can block specific websites from running their ads. The URL I need is usually displayed somewhere on the ad. For you I have blocked iranianpersonals.com from running ads on the website. --Steve (talk) Get Firefox 15:30, 6 July 2008 (EDT)
