you should update this.
 * What should I update? 18:52, 20 June 2007 (EDT)


 * New smileys...

Forgot a smiley!
You forgot Super Green!Toadbert101 12:13, 16 July 2007 (EDT)

And Sonic, Link, Mewtwo...etc Paper Jorge! I give paper cuts so stand back!

/j #roomname
It does not work for me.
 * try /join roomname

It won't work,STUPID DARKMYST COMMANDS!!!, oh well I will get back to chat eventually. Accually i can get it to work but it only works when i type /join roomname(littarly roomname) and it takes me to a room called roomname so for some reason i can not go to a other room.(mariowiki acually).:(
 * Vruet are you currently in roomname now?

No, but all I know is that i am an op in it and that it is empty(most likely to make a new room on there)
 * Try getting on.

New Smiley
Xz said I could upload a new smiley, so... what do I do?

Whats with the other marioverse smileys? all people did was drag the head off of sprites! they didn't even bother to fix it!

Hmm
Why are :eek: and :shock: reversed in Chat???

My Ban
I was never banned for 90 days. I wasn't block evading. S-Y lied. I would use a sentence with two curse words in it, one of them being used 3 times, but I would get blocked in the wiki. I was on from the applet here, as it's the only one that I know the URL of that I'm not still banned on, so I wasn't evading. Now would you please unblock me before I take drastic measures. I'm not like I used to be, so you can trust me. Thank you.-KP Blue 20:17, 11 July 2008 (EDT)

And just so you know, my and Snack's story about what happened(which is what really happened, just ask Snack, he banned me in the first place, my block was over on the other applets because somehow, they thought that I got blocked on those applets the same day I got blocked here.) is that I was acting crazy, so Snack banned me for a reasonable 10 days, which expired YESTERDAY. Super-Yoshi's story is that he doesn't like me, so he had ChaosNinji block me for a ludicrously long 90 days. Both stories are completely differen't except for me getting blocked. Super-Yoshi's reason was just so I would get blocked for another 80 days, just because he doesn't like me. Ask Snack which one is right, and he'll say that the one that I put for mine and his is the true one. Don't trust someone just because they're trustworthy and not trust someone just because they're not trustworthy. Descriptions aren't always true, and neither is S-Y. I'm not saying that he's always a liar, I'm just saying that he's not always truthful. Now if you could just unblock me, and block S-Y for 80 days, that'll solve the problem. Don't worry, I learned my lesson. Only be mean to the bots, such as saying that GameServ is programmed to be bipolar.-KP Blue 20:50, 11 July 2008 (EDT)

...S-Y isn't being blocked just because he doesn't like you. And I don't think you're telling both sides of the story here. 1337Yoshi

When will you get it? You evaded ban, continuesly, and you are banned. You know why noone is banning me, and why noone hates me? Because I am trustful, and I actually consider these people friends, and not people to assisanate or beg for forgiveness. Just stop alrite, if you wanna get blocked forever, flame someone, or flame me I really don't care. If you wanna stay in chat, then just wait until your 90 days are over, and act normal alrite?

And don't bother writing War and Peace-length arguments for why you're right and the rest of us are wrong; they don't help. 1337Yoshi

problem with connecting
When i try to connect, this message appears

''Error : Closing Link: 189.200.56.14 (Your hostname or IP exists on and DNS Blacklist. For more information, please email support@darkmyst.org and include this message (list=dnsbl.dronebl.org. match=127.0.0.3))''

Please help
 * Your internet service provider is banned from the darkmyst server. That basically means that there have been troubles with people from your ISP in the past, or that you should connect to a different server, or that they don't want people from your ISP at all. Or you could have been individually banned for spamming or something similar. We can't change it, we only use the services of darkmyst. Sorry for that. - 15:57, 29 July 2008 (EDT)


 * OK, thanks
 * Try restarting your router. 12:16, 10 August 2008 (EDT)
 * How do i do that?
 * By unplugging it and plugging it in again. 03:34, 14 August 2008 (EDT)

List of channel operators
I would like to see a list of official back-up ops on this page. Can we do this, as it would be a large help so the newbies can know who to look towards for help. 03:36, 14 August 2008 (EDT)

Users channel
I say we should have some kind of standards (I say "some kind" because I have no idea) for including these things, the list is extremely long but most of these kind of channel are created and die on a whim. --Blitzwing 16:23, 4 January 2009 (EST)
 * Sry but I think otherwise. I don't see anything wrong with it, back in the day we we're free to go anywhere we wanted too, and having alot of user chats isn't hurting anyone.
 * Any comment from someone who doesn't own one of these user channels, and thus isn't biased? --Blitzwing 06:15, 24 January 2009 (EST)
 * Per Blitzwing. Obviously, you can't stop people from creating usef channels, or from visiting them, but only the active ones should be mentioned on Chat.  Also, channels with restricted access shouldn't be listed, they can't be accessed without an invitation anyway, and that would come with the channel's name.  10:19, 24 January 2009 (EST)
 * I may have a user channel, but you're right. There are too many user channels on the list that aren't even used. I just went through them on the chat and found that these aren't being used anymore (because of lack of activity): #dpchat, #fmchat, #ssgchat, #totochat, #deathnote, #dlmgir, #X1chat and #goldenchat. #palkgiuschat should be replaced with #packychat (even though the former is still registered), but every other channel has been in use over the past month (30 days). If user channels should be pruned, I think this is where we need to start. Neurario 07:21, 25 January 2009 (EST)


 * To the dead channels: Fail for being inactive... ;[ Win for the rest of the channels STILL standing as if a cherry is on top of the pudding. :3 With this complex translator, it simply means: "All the bad (dead) channels are gone yo!"

New Rules
"That part of about not using a curse word more than 4 times a minute? The one that Stooby folded on? Yeah, that's back and is going to stay." This is what Ghost Jam came and said on the forum, this is one of the rules that are majorly flawed among the current chatroom rules. I complained about a large amount of these rules previously in a forum thread, and one of the rules I complained about was the swearing one, which just said "too much" instead of "4 times a minute".

Now, what is "4 times a minute"? Does that mean you get 4 swears a minute? It doesn't really make any sense. I think that instead of that, it should stay at "deemed by operator", or even better, remove the stupid rule. "Crap" is considered a swear word(which seems absolutely ridiculous to me), so you can't say "Crap" more than 4 times a minute. That means Strong Bad would be a valid offender. ...Seriously, guys. Since I made my topic pointing out problems with the rules, Ghost Jam has locked the topic, removed the post that ticked him off the most, double posted, and than ChaosNinji responded to him. Aaaaaand down here at the bottom of the rules page, there's Ghost Jam's favorite line, "the chatroom is a privilege, not a right". The line that says he can make the chat as strict as he wants, because he never even uses it, so it doesn't matter to him how strict the rules are.

Basically what these new rules are saying is "LEAVE THE F***ING MARIOWIKI, WE DON'T WANT YOU", it doesn't matter if you like being here(that's another thing Ghost Jam said, he said that he does not have fun here and doesn't think anyone should), you should still leave. Also, I'd like to add that Ghost Jam(sysop who never uses chat) changed a rule put by Stooben Rooben('crat who often uses chat). &#123;&#123;User:Uniju :D/sig}} 16:35, 9 January 2009 (EST)
 * I'll leave the actual arguing to the chat ops, but I'd like to point out that I didn't change anything. Stooben changed a rule under pressure from the chat gestapo, the other mods disagreed with the change and I was the only one available at the time to revert. Ghost Jam, AWAY! -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 18:05, 9 January 2009 (EST)
 * I'd like to point out that I changed that bit before I even got onto chat. Everyone bit my head off before I got the chance to tell them I changed it, so yeah, it looks as if I folded under pressure. I could care less what anyone else really has to say about the rules, especially since the Ops – enforcers of the rules – were even complaining. I was contemplating on whether to change it back or not, (hence why I was editing so late), but by the time I had made up my mind, the Wiki was giving me database errors. How typical. 18:17, 9 January 2009 (EST)
 * You didn't even respond to my argument. &#123;&#123;User:Uniju :D/sig}} 19:40, 9 January 2009 (EST)
 * There's nothing to respond to. They are practically the same rules reworded. You're not making a suggestion to improve the rules, you're only complaining that we're saying "WE DON'T WANT YOU". We're not. 19:56, 9 January 2009 (EST)
 * Are you saying that's the only thing you got out of my whole rant? ...OK, maybe it is. But the point is that "crap" isn't a swear word, the 4 times a minute rule is incredibly silly, and just because your a 'crat it doesn't give you the right to say no one has the right to complain. &#123;&#123;User:Uniju :D/sig}} 20:03, 9 January 2009 (EST)
 * Forgive me, but I don't think anyone said you couldn't complain. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 20:20, 9 January 2009 (EST)
 * I agree that the "4 times a minute" thing is silly and lead to a buttload of possible stupid abuse ("You can't ban me!! The minute expired!"). And who said "Crap" was a swear? Certainly neither me or Stooben... Or anyone with half-a-working neuron. --Blitzwing 20:26, 9 January 2009 (EST)
 * Blitz: "Crap" is listed as one of the swear words people are allowed to say on the rules page, and thus is one of the swear words you get kicked for saying more than 4 times a minute. Ghost Jam: On the forum, Stooben said things like that complaining won't help(if complaining doesn't help, what does? hacking into his account?) and that the ops where all incompetent because it wasn't their job to complain about the rules. &#123;&#123;User:Uniju :D/sig}} 20:33, 9 January 2009 (EST)
 * "Complaining doesn't help" =/= "You can't complain." -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 20:38, 9 January 2009 (EST)

Kaie?
Why's there some person named "Kaie" on the #mariowiki access list? :|

Okay, now instead of Kaie, there's "Lares^Distracted". ._.
 * I don't see him on there. ._. 23:09, 31 January 2009 (EST)
 * Actually, the name keeps changing. It says "nd" now.
 * nd is fll@dm-15338.dsl.ltrkar.swbell.net * frank lee lowell
 * Kaie is ladykirax@dm-29706.hsd1.pa.comcast.net * Kira
 * ...And Lares doesn't come up with anything. I guess it would make sense if these nicknames were connected by a single registered nick. Would that change the name in the access list too? Neu (edits 18:38, 1 February 2009 (EST)

Godmodding
"No godmodding. It is considered to be a form of spam and is highly disruptive in chat. Godmodding will result in a kick and/or ban. "

So yeah... what is that rule about? Last time I checked, Godmodding means making you excessively powerful in a role-play. As far as I know, we're not a role-play chatroom... --Blitzwing 14:38, 28 February 2009 (EST)

People sometimes role-play in chat, but since that isn't its purpose, that shouldn't be in the rules.

Mario5x
He's not on the access list, but whenever Mario5x enters #mariowiki or #userpedia, he gets opped somehow. Anyone know what's going on?

#Shroom
Can that channel be added to the list of Wiki-related?

Rules in the Chat Topic?
I posted this before, but it seems to have gone missing... I had a thought that since we get a few non-site users who don't know our rules, wouldn't it be practical to add the link to Help:Chat to our chatroom topic? Revising it to something like "Welcome to the Super Mario Wiki Chatroom! Enjoy your stay. :: New to the chat? Please read our rules: http://www.mariowiki.com/Help:Chat" or something similar would be very useful. Neu (edits 00:19, 16 May 2009 (EDT) Now I think I know why it went missing: nobody actually cares, they all just want to whine about temporary bans instead of something constructive. Neu (edits 00:50, 2 June 2009 (EDT)
 * I second this. It is annoying to hand type the link into the chatroom. Oh, and this is my first edit... in a very long time... gasp. —CarbonFiberMan 00:30, 16 May 2009 (EDT)

Unfair Ban
Today, I was unfairly banned by Smarty Guy. He banned me just because I remained as a guest, as we all know, there is no written rule about remaining as a guest, therefore I'm in my full right to remain as a guest. I told this to Smarty Guy, but he ignored me and banned me. I think I should be unbanned and Smarty Guy should be demoted

No impersonating. Changing your nickname is only acceptable as long as it is linked to your username in some manner. Nick abusing will result in a kick and/or ban. IMO, if you only have it for alittle while, it's not bad, but if you keep using it, it shouldn't be allowed.

Cuppa Joe
Whenever I enter chat, there's a grey cup of coffe with two arrows around it. What does it mean? Magik

Nick Abuse
We need to specify that rule some more, because Princess Grape's forum nick is PG23, and says she can use any nick that has 23 in it. And from what I've heard, a few other users have done something like this. The problem is, that the number could refer to a number of other users. -Toadbert101

The most stupid rule
Today, i was stupidly banned from the chat for using TuCaYo as nick, which hasnt got anything bad in it, because that is my nick and i had to write my password to log in --http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/4087/tucayosz9se5.png(talk) The 'Shroom  15:34, 30 July 2009 (EDT)

Excess ban
Today, I got banned (which wasn't unjustified) for one hour, I ban evaded and the ban was increased to a day and then a week somehow, even though it says in our rules "No ban-evading. Evading a ban will result in a doubled ban". SmartyGuy11

Big Problem
Until early July, Chat was great. The wildest it would get would be people quoting BJAODN or singing Weird Al. Now, people just swear randomly, flame, and ops don't even follow the rules. Last night, Jorge, Turboo, and Henrydamoose were saying all sorts of crap about me, and Clear Discoherency did it today. All of us should've been kicked at least twelve times, and the only time anyone was kicked was when I flooded in protest. An anonymous source told me Porple kicked a user for "being a noob". I'm not alone in my opinion, and many users have left the wiki altogether because of it. I'm gonna try to wait it out, though. Enough is enough. Something needs to be done.

'Correction: Jdrowlands is very strict. The stuff happened after he pinged.'


 * Yes, we need better operators. We should only give ops to the Administrators, they know how to lead and set examples. These operators' jobs (not all, but most) are terrible, and should not be operators. 20:55, 26 August 2009 (EDT)

Ragging
This has happened a lot, and I'm fed up with it. When someone says something dumb, and people say gtfo, stfu, etc., it's not just pointing out someone did something dumb. IT'S A BIG BUNCH OF BS! There needs to be a rule against it.

Jorge is Godmodding
How long are bans supposed to be? I was supposedly given an infinite one! Jorge has been godmodding! He deserved 50 kicks, and I say F--- YOU, JORGE!!!!!!!!! and deserve a ban, right? BUT NOT PERMANENT! DE-OP HIM! NOW!


 * He probably is god-modding, but only the ops can deop him. Which would probably never happen to Userpedia's Rising Star. 20:52, 26 August 2009 (EDT)


 * Funny. We didn't really ban you for infinity but that's funny. Not only are you guillible but you decide to go around crying about it instead of admitting your actions were wrong. You were kicked two times earlier today, then flamed me and got banned for one hour. So calm down, grow up and take responsibility. Paper Jorge Also as a note, life isn't fair and it never will be. You can't have the world be your way.

Not to mention that there is no longer a rule against godmodding if im correct. And also, feel special, I just logged on for the first time in forever to post this message. Mr,Vruet the Black Mage 20:58, 26 August 2009 (EDT)
 * Well, we need better rules and better operators. These operators love to abuse power at all costs, at least that is what I feel. I don't think Ralphfan is lying or exaggerating, he is probably right. Nothing against Jorge specifically, but about our ops in general, most of our operators break rules or treat people like garbage. 21:01, 26 August 2009 (EDT)


 * It's basically the same with umpires. You can set any strike zone you want, but it has to be fair.  Uni is very lenient, but he's fair.  Jdrow is very strict, but extremely fair.

It was YOU who broke any rules, so stop blaming it on the ops. Mr,Vruet the Black Mage 21:05, 26 August 2009 (EDT)


 * Ops are breaking their rules, too. Nobody changes that, though.


 * Even Porple breaks his own rules (from what I've hear) 21:20, 26 August 2009 (EDT) By the way, I meant to put heard at the end of that sentence, but I skipped my D-key


 * Then let's freaking fix it! Who's with me?


 * Porple is allowed to break his own rules, he made the wiki, he makes the rules, he breaks them, you can't do anything about it, and no, you shouldn't fix anything unless it is broke, which chat ain't. Mr,Vruet the Black Mage 21:24, 26 August 2009 (EDT)


 * Vruet, you're being a one-sided idiot. Chat isn't broken, it's biased.  It wasn't like this 50 days ago.  You're one of the problems.




 * Accually, no Im not, im rarely on chat, so how can I be a problem? Not to mention I don't break any rules, unless slight flaming = kick, which it hasn't for the entire time I was on the wiki. Get your facts straight. Mr,Vruet the Black Mage 21:45, 26 August 2009 (EDT)

#mwchat
I guess this is a battle I'm not gonna win, so I've created a new chatroom: #mwchat. No tolerance for disobedience. The founders are SMB, Tucayo, and I. I technically am listed as the founder, though.

Never mind. I just wanna get back on #mariowiki but I can't!

Ban problem
It appears I was banned on accident for 22 days. It's been an hour, the ban should be removed. Thank you. Actually, it turned out to not by my ban.

Unlink
I dont say we delete, or restart #mariowiki, i say we unlink it to the wiki and make it not official. Anyway, active users rarely get there, it gives kinda a bad image of us to newbies, #mwikitalk would be better --http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/4087/tucayosz9se5.png(talk) The 'Shroom  22:47, 26 August 2009 (EDT)

If you get rid of #mariowiki and replace it with #mwikitalk, than all the same people(Stooben Rooben, etc) would become operators, and all the same people would go there, and than it would just turn out like the original. It's pointless. If you don't like the decisions of the majority of the chat's userbase, than I suggest you go to a different chatroom. The operators of the chatroom are fine with the rules, and so is the majority of the active users there. Since the "active users" you mentioned don't go there anyway, why bother? Uniju :D 19:55, 27 August 2009 (EDT)

That pesky ban...
I was banned for an hour. It's been 19 hours. I need a #mariowiki op to type /cs unban #mariowiki ralphfan. That is all. Thanks. If I was banned for a day, that's OK. I deserved it and respect your decision. We may need to clear the entire ban list; it might be my IP. I still can't get on, St00b has tried six things.

If my range is banned, please lift the ban.

JD FIXED IT!


 * "I need a #mariowiki op to type /cs unban #mariowiki ralphfan". We know exactly what to do.

STUPID SUCKY OPS
The ops are giving me crap. Get a load of this: I didn't flame anyone, didn't swear or anything. All I did was read baseball scores and be kinda annoying. NO RULES AGAINST THAT! I asked why Kazooiebottle gave him/herself a kick by saying "Kick?". Then Jorge and Henry wanted me to be kicked. Gorden kicked me. When I returned I said "WHAT THE F---". Not flaming. Kazooiebottle then kicked me. Upon my return, Jorge kicked me. Then, he said:

[20:10]  ok i dont care if i get deopped it was worth it

More proof:

[20:09] You've been kicked out of #mariowiki by ChanServ ([Gorden_Freechmen] User kick requested) [20:09] You've been kicked out of #mariowiki by Kazooiebottle [20:10] You've been kicked out of #mariowiki by Jamjars (do hw)

De-op him and Gorden and Kazooiebottle. They're crappy ops. WE NEED BETTER OPS. LIKE TUCKY AND WAYO.

YOU were FLOODING the CHAT with BASEBALL SCORES. FLooding is a rule, y'know. :|

Wrong! Flooding is typing blah. Then posting the same thing again and again and again. Or typing one word and posting it repetitively. I wanted to color-code it, so I needed multiple posts.

Then you were SPAMMING the chat with baseball scores. SPAM = Stupid Pointless Annoying Messages. One, it was being relatively stupid. Two, it was pointless to begin with. Three, It was sure as hell annoying seeing baseball scores in the middle of a conversation. And Four, To bring that all together it is a stupid pointless annoying message. What do you know? IT'S SPAM.

Well then, why wasn't I kicked right away? Why was I kicked more then once?

Because Gordon was talking to me in query and the others were gone. They kicked you more than once so they could get you from the previous hour of baseball score spamming.

BS.

I know I wasn't there, and that this is a little late, but I'd like to point one thing out: You do not kick someone multiple times for one offense. If he continued to flood the room with sports scores, and none of the Ops kicked him for it while it was going on, then that's their (myself included, since I wasn't there) fault. Kicking him once after the fact would have been fine. But three, based on just that? No. 21:21, 2 September 2009 (EDT)

Did I also mention that the ops kicked themselves after they kicked you, Ralph? So Stooben, to wrap this up, should we conclude that the whole mis-half started partially by Ralph and partially by Jorge, Gordon, and Turboo. Also mentioning the opinion that it should END like this. If I were you, I would take away only their op priviledges for 1 day. And have Ralph warned for spamming with baseball scores. Your call.

I now post scores on #ralphchat.

Ban Problems
Many people have been banned without a time set. Therefore, the ban lasts until all users leave the channel. It happened to me, and needs to be fixed. I believe it also happened to Mario7727. I know Jdrow knows how to fix it, but others need to fix it as well.

Question
Is it Okay to call a person N00b or retarded or something every time somebody's there?Also, It always says 'Killed By GameServ(Request by *insert something other than names here*).By the Way, I think somebody banned me forever for (as they said) 'Being retarded.'

Crappy Rules
Apparently, f--- you isn't a flame, but f--- you, asshole is. What the hell kinda crappy rule is that?

{{User:Ralphfan/sig|That's sh*te (in Scottish)!

I've already explained this to you on the forum multiple times. I'm not going to do it again. {{User:Stooben Rooben/sig}} 00:33, 30 September 2009 (EDT)
 * Stooby, can you add #mwikitalk rules please :) Thanks --http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/4087/tucayosz9se5.png(talk) The 'Shroom  12:38, 30 September 2009 (EDT)

Poor Ops
Once again, ops are biased. They all seem to hate me. If they hate me, I don't care. If they favor certain users and kick me for doing the same thing as another user without kicking the other user, that's a problem. It's getting out of hand. No excuse for this sort of stuff. Specifically, S-Y, ML, and groden are the poor users. For one, multiple users called me "ralphfag." I then proceeded to call multiple users fa**ots. We all deserved kicks. (By all, I mean all who partook in the flaming and name-calling.) I was the only one kicked. Users flame me often to no avail. None of them are kicked. Ops are extremely biased. This needs to stop. NOW.


 * Like you're innocent, Ralph. You were flaming just as much. Also, when was 3 posts flooding :| ralphf*g I admit is a bit much. This is a mixed group of people, you shouldn't expect everyone to like you, ralph. Maybe we'd stop if you stopped annoying the living hell out of us with your ping/notice spam, your rants of sport news, etc. 20:42, 19 October 2009 (EDT)
 * Per Dman.

 * The bolded parts are what I don't like. You set the example and follow the rules, you don't abuse it because other users are. 20:49, 19 October 2009 (EDT)
 * When I said "just as much", I was referring to others. You can rat me out for your pleasure if you want, but I wasn't the one flaming. And alright, since I'm srsmature op instead of normal user with a personality, I'll simply ignore the ping and notice spam that makes chat too laggy or spammed to be actually used, and let ralphfan have his s**t and giggles. 20:55, 19 October 2009 (EDT)
 * When I typed You, I didn't mean you TehDman. I meant the Channel Operators in general, so don't get so offended. 21:02, 19 October 2009 (EDT)
 * Though I agree with Dman where he says ralph was getting on their nerves and ralphfan should not have done that - I still think that was not a cause for them to be biased towards other users as ralph puts it. If he wanted ralphfan to stop, he could of asked ralphfan to stop and even used that coarse language that I've noticed he like a lot.

Ending of the discussion, this page is to discuss THE RULES, NOT PROBLEMS WITH OPS, Thank you
 * Actually, not to start anything, but if it has to deal with users and/or operators that are breaking the rules, then it can go here. 21:19, 19 October 2009 (EDT)
 * In addition to what SMB said, where could we move this conversation? A talk page?-- Marioguy1 My talk page (haha, no link for you ) 21:24, 19 October 2009 (EDT)
 * We keep it here, but we end it. What I'm saying is that this type of discussion is okay, but not when it goes wildly out of control. 21:27, 19 October 2009 (EDT)

Per SMB, not even one comment more, move this to chat, that it is where you have the problem. -- 21:31, 19 October 2009 (EDT)

Inappropriate Nicks
Recently, certain users *cough*Toadbert*cough* have been adding inappropriate stuff to their nicks, such as Toadbert|Ass or ML|F*ck. It needs to stop!


 * No Ralph, this is overkill.

"While cursing is allowed, we still do not allow derogatory terms in the chatroom; nor do we allow sexually explicit content. Cursing is a completely different thing from the two aforementioned subjects."

 * You see, if they have that content in their nick, it's okay because of the swearing policy. 22:34, 22 October 2009 (EDT)

It's not sexually explicit?


 * Dumb rule, but we have to obey it. :/ --

Shouldn't we just ban profanity from nicks and settle this once and for all?


 * I agree.--
 * Actually, Ralphfan. It is not sexually explicit because it is not used in that sense. Ass can easily not be considered as a sexual reference (such as a donkey). F*ck is not a sexual reference in this sense because Master Lucario did not use it in terms of sex. 22:42, 22 October 2009 (EDT)

It's just common sense! Chat is supposed to be a safe place! What if a seven-year old goes in, huh? What happens then?


 * Well, # mariowiki is not guarenteed to be a children-safe chat, just as our wiki is not guarenteed to be a children-safe wiki. If you want, create a new censored chat, or suggest one to Porple. 22:57, 22 October 2009 (EDT)
 * Ralph: If you want the rules changed, make a proposal
 * Actually, no. You can't change the rules via proposal, only the operators can decide what the rules are. You can go to a chatroom operator to present your case on the Chatroom Operator's board on the forum, but that's about all you can do. 23:01, 22 October 2009 (EDT)
 * In that case, 2257 is your only hope :P

Where should I make the proposal? Also, I created #mwchat and hell, crap, damn, and ass are the only permitted swears, but THEY CAN'T BE IN NICKS!


 * And where in the rules does it say that? Seriously, you need to use common sense :| There is no rule about that, and for someone who says "vagina boob", calls us "dipsh**'s", "mother****ers" etc etc. I would just drop this conversation right now.
 * Per S-Y. You are taking this over the deep end, Ralph. 23:09, 22 October 2009 (EDT)
