I'm not sure if you keep up with Homestuck as avidly as I do (thanks for that, by the way!), but I just about died when I found out this actually exists and has troll reviews. What I wouldn't give to get an entire edited copy of it...

(ʞlɐʇ) ɹǝɯɯɐHʍoƆ22:34, 13 January 2012

Hahaha yes of course they exist! I used to read those books when I was little. If only Hussie could legally sell DS' annotated copy...

Picon small.pngAcer Blue03:24, 14 January 2012

Haha I guess I just assumed it was another weird detail of the Homestuck universe that Hussie made up. Either way, I'm hoping he does more of it eventually

(ʞlɐʇ) ɹǝɯɯɐHʍoƆ14:59, 16 January 2012

All of the Dirk. All of it.

The Mighty Boosh...

Have you watched it!?

Dumpling (talk)03:46, 20 January 2012

NOEL FIELDING IS MY FAVORITE but I haven't watched it yet! It's on a long list of things/shows to catch up on after Buzzcocks, IQ, IT Crowd, not to mention new shows like Sherlock and Doctor Who, not to even think of talking about Game of Thrones, Parks and Recreation, The Office, The Big Bang Theory.......

Picon small.pngAcer Blue03:51, 20 January 2012

NOEL FIELDING IS SO GREAT! HOMGGGG~ I love him on the Mighty Boosh (It's on Youtube now! Yeaaah! ;D) He can pull some of those outfits off really well. ;D Hahaha. Game of Thrones is good. The Office (British or American?) is entertaining, Big Bang theory (My favorite so far) is great in general. Love these shows so much.

to much "Blue" on the recent changes

il'Dictator Mikal (talk)23:26, 16 January 2012

Never enough Blue.

Picon small.pngAcer Blue23:27, 16 January 2012

The only alternative to Blue is red, and nobody wants that all over RecentChanges *shudders*

Star of David.png Radioactive Misanthrope00:48, 17 January 2012

Nooo... Red's vandal colour.

For what it's worth

I'm with you on this one. Just a shame that the others here can't see the troll for the trees.

PsyGremlinParlez!12:30, 9 January 2012

C'est la vie. Thanks, though.

Picon small.pngAcer Blue17:37, 9 January 2012

While I admittedly wasn't there for May 2011, you guys really need to get over Human. Everything'll be fine, and, much as we fantasize about having the "right" user be around, who comes and who goes doesn't really affect that much.

Star of David.png Radioactive Misanthrope18:55, 9 January 2012

I'm not with you. I think you're a fucking stupid bitch.

What else is new?

Picon small.pngAcer Blue19:57, 9 January 2012

This is new. I never thought that before. But after watching the awesome hate fest on RWW I had a change of heart.

AceModerator20:00, 9 January 2012
 

Someone said something about Ace being reasonable?

-- Nx / talk19:58, 9 January 2012
 

Either Ace just called me a bitch, or he still doesn't know you can reply to individual comments in LQT.

Star of David.png Radioactive Misanthrope20:03, 9 January 2012

Oh, I know you can - I just wasn't paying attention to where I was posting. Don't worry Stabby, you give me warm fuzzies...

Did you just threaten a "revolution?"

Hi Blue,

No -- or at least I didn't mean to sound like I was threatening anything. What I was trying to express in colourful language was the idea that mod-on-mod tensions that escalated into HCM outbreaks are probably the biggest threat to the online community's stability, and the system, such as it is, will pretty much fall apart if they continue. We can handle trolls; we can handle users being petty and dickish with each other; but we can't handle people with enhanced user rights and a particular role to play in the system stirring up more tensions than there already are.

I voted for you and always thought that you were a solid mod and a valued editor. I have "faith" (as much as one can use that word here) that you will continue to be so.

P-Foster Talk "Go get Ace"13:29, 9 January 2012

Just to add my two cents, I agree with Foster here in every regard.

I'd still like somebody to explain why Blue is in the shitter when it was Human who once again stirred the pot? It was his pathetic, obnoxious, rude over-reaction to her private communique that started yet another HCM on RW. Not that I didn't expect it, of course. Just a shame I didn't realise that I shared the wiki with so many fools to be suckered in by that sad, sad old man.

PsyGremlinParlez!15:09, 9 January 2012

To be fair, the emails were provocative.

-- Nx / talk15:11, 9 January 2012

To be honest, I have no intention of jumping into this HCM if I can avoid it. Rather, I just saw what P-Foster had written and decided that I agree with it no matter who he's telling it to. Blue, Human, Nx, myself, Brxbrx, Trent.... It doesn't matter. The point was that P-Foster's comment is something I agree with no matter the context. If you want to copy-paste it on Human's talkpage to use it to go after him, please be my guest.

 

I really didn't intend for this message to be an occasion to re-visit that particular issue, but a chance for me to clarify a particular comment that I made. Let sleeping dogs lie.

P-Foster Talk "Go get Ace"15:18, 9 January 2012
 

But not unfounded, given his actions and attitude here in the past. Blue did the right thing by contacting him privately to let him know how she feels. Human then acted like a complete cunt by posting her messages and doing a Hurlbut-esque "No! They're MY messages! I can post them!"

He is an idiot and a troll and this episode proves it. Him and Marcus are probably having a good chuckle at the HCM he's causing.

PsyGremlinParlez!15:19, 9 January 2012

As an aside, thanks to this conversation, I'm happy to announce I've learned how to "unwatch" an LQT conversation.

P-Foster Talk "Go get Ace"15:23, 9 January 2012
 
 

She locked his talk page to mod level, that was the abuse. Understandable out of anger, but still abuse. (I'll let the dog sleep now)

ʤɱ constructivist15:29, 9 January 2012
 
 

Thanks P-Foster. I won't pretend I didn't overreact by locking the page, but I hope to be able to nip such episodes in the bud in the future - probably by staying away from that one person who can provoke such a strong emotional response in me. It is stupid of me to contact him even with the best of intentions. But I hope to say no more on the matter, and, like you said, let sleeping dogs lie.

That's not to say some moderator behavioral guidelines are uncalled for. Though, as I took a leading role in our last policymaking project, it might be good for someone else to take the lead this time around.

Picon small.pngAcer Blue17:36, 9 January 2012

(I actually didn't know it was you till you admitted it). For what it's worth, Blue, just don't get into it in the first place. It will really make your day easier.  :-) And if you do decide to do something like write letters, make sure you use a sock! :-)

Pink mowse.pngGodotDear god, fucking grow up17:38, 9 January 2012

I'm notoriously terrible at sockpuppetry, so I'll just not get involved unless absolutely required.

Picon small.pngAcer Blue17:43, 9 January 2012

I always wanted to be a sock puppet, but i figured my spelling would give me away too easily. I'm better now that I have red wiggle lines when I type, but still...

Pink mowse.pngGodotDear god, fucking grow up17:48, 9 January 2012
 
 

By the way, that's a circumspect way of saying that I took too much abuse for being an authoritarian fascist tinpot dictator last time to be chomping at the bit for another big policy project.

PeterQuasniki 2012!Flag of the United States (Pantone).svg07:26, 6 January 2012

Depends.... What would or could you do that would require "Bot" user powers? The Ninja usergroup is for people who do bot program tasks to be able to hide themselves from recent changes.

As I alluded to, I've been fiddling with the bot thing slightly but probably shouldn't do so too much if I'm going to clutter RC.

Death of a template

That template was my baby. I crafted it, nurtured it, whored it all across the wiki. If fell out of use after a while (but not before breaking into the top ten most used templates). Now, after a talk from Nx, I have agreed to let it go. *sniffle* It's time has come to die.

Yeah, please don't do that. I know it's your instinct to get rid of it but I always prefer to engage or ignore the troll(s). Only delete stuff from my talk page (or any other talk page) if it's personal info, thanks.

Picon small.pngAcer Blue03:37, 30 December 2011

I shouldn't have been mean to you

How do you and Aly DISREGARD ssa Bry DISREGARD ant live with yourselves, being the most ugly women on the planet? I mean, obviously no one likes you, or else you wouldn't waste your time on this rat hole.

Well, that's what I intended to post when I made this account. I've seen pictures of you, and you're actually the exact opposite of ugly. But what a waste, that you would get caught up in this idiocy, you're probably actually a smart, friendly, beautiful young girl that's been misguided. Thanks for the welcome, but really, you need to find a different hobby.

Marcus Canty (talk)02:43, 27 December 2011

Wow, that's really creepy and I'd kind of prefer just the ugliness screeds next time.

Picon small.pngAcer Blue02:46, 27 December 2011

Shockingly bad typing, too. You would think if you're going to bother telling people they were ugly, you'd do it in such a way that they could read it.  ;-)

Blue, you are how you see yourself, and only you can define yourself. I hope you do not let this petty child get on your nerves.

If you can't see a joke... maybe I need to work on my joke-telling abilities.

Picon small.pngAcer Blue05:23, 18 December 2011

Joke was seen. But on this site, it's easy to think someone would lump the two together. Haters gotta hate.

PintOfStout Talk Good people drink good beer.05:24, 18 December 2011

Remember when we considered "censoring" the RW logo for SOPA?

Now would be a good idea.

Osaka Sun (talk)11:19, 16 December 2011

Oh, stop overreacting. SOPA is a terrible law in every way, but whether it's passed or not won't effect RationalWiki at all.

Star of David.png Radioactive Misanthrope11:30, 16 December 2011

You're missing the point of protest. And it may very well affect RW indirectly.

Picon small.pngAcer Blue18:06, 16 December 2011

We've been accused of copyright infringement to censor a few of the side-by-side articles. If people then have legal backing to take that out against the site itself and the RWF's ability to fund it, it would be very bad indeed.

Remember that the entire point of copyright is to defend people against having their intellectual property used, abused and sold without their consent or compensation - but it's very often been used as a tool for censorship too. An alarming proportion of DMCA claims are used this way, and that just removes the content.

Scarlet A.pnggnostic18:14, 16 December 2011

Might as well do it in solidarity anyway.

Osaka Sun (talk)18:44, 16 December 2011

I think we ought to do it at some point.

Picon small.pngAcer Blue19:18, 16 December 2011
 
 
 
 

When was that?

The logo is at File:Rw logo.png, anyone can replace it.

-- Nx / talk20:31, 16 December 2011

A month ago.

And go to "Censor Your Website in Protest" at the bottom of the page.

Osaka Sun (talk)21:10, 16 December 2011

We can't put that code there without resorting to ugly hacks.

-- Nx / talk21:26, 16 December 2011

Can we just photoshop the logo and hyperlink it to the SOPA site as another option?

Osaka Sun (talk)01:34, 17 December 2011

Photshop - yes. Hyperlink - no.

Here's a question for you.

If Hitchens were editing the wiki, what headline do you imagine he might have written?

PintOfStout Talk Good people drink good beer.06:00, 16 December 2011

"I'm still alive, but inexplicably there are obituaries for me."

Star of David.png Radioactive Misanthrope06:01, 16 December 2011

Smartass.

"Surprised to find myself in Heaven"

AceAce For Mod!06:06, 16 December 2011
 

I think we're misunderstanding each other. I don't want to sugarcoat or euphemize the WIGO. But putting up "Hitchens is dead" and asking people to vote up or down is confusing at best.

It might be wise for us to not use vote tags on some WIGOs.

Picon small.pngAcer Blue06:06, 16 December 2011

The "no vote tags on sad/difficult/tragic WIGOs" is something I'm in complete agreement with you about. Workarounds that involve weasel-y language, less so.

PintOfStout Talk Good people drink good beer.06:08, 16 December 2011
 

I have often wondered about that - when someone wigo's "Crazy fucker shoots loads of people somewhere" do you vote up or down?

AceAce For Mod!06:08, 16 December 2011

If all the ratings on WIGO:Clogs are anything to go by, the WIGO votes do not imply approval for what is said in the WIGO.
