oh hai GWW.--Shadowsin 15:54, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

response
Hello. In response to your post on my userpage, I want you to know I went to PvX because he clearly states that is where he will respond the fastest. considering how we needed his opinion on the matter, thats where I went. Taking the initiative is not neccesarially trying to "imitate" an admin. Thank you. -- Wandering Traveler 03:22, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh really? I dont think he meant to come around blasting your nonsense opinions about what he has/does not have, on his userpage. From where I'm standing your certainly trying to imitate an admin, either that or be obtusely annoying I cant really decide which.--Shadowsin 03:27, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I see. I have no comment. --[[Image:User-Wandering Traveler Sig.png]] Wandering Traveler 03:29, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Obviously you do. considering how we needed his opinion on the matter we as in you? Why do you care?--Shadowsin 04:01, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I simply got involved in the discussion. --[[Image:User-Wandering Traveler Sig.png]] Wandering Traveler 04:03, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I forgot that the admin noticeboard was a place for common discussion.--Shadowsin 04:08, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * ah, I should clarify. I was involved on his talk page. I did post on the noticeboard on that though, so sorry for the confusion :P --[[Image:User-Wandering Traveler Sig.png]] Wandering Traveler 04:18, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Wandering nay offense mate, but i advise just letting this chat go on his user page as its not resolving anything. Just let the sysops ban shadowsin and you ignore him, as probably the most conducive course of action. Also shadosin, maybe you should rethink direct personal attacks on peoples talk pages next time. -- Salome [[Image:User_salome_sig.png|19px]] 04:25, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * No worries m8 that one was totally planned. If your offended by such minute things please stay away from pvx wiki, Thanks in advance.--Shadowsin 04:26, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Valid point Salome. I rest my case. apologies for cluttering your userpage >.< --[[Image:User-Wandering Traveler Sig.png]] Wandering Traveler 04:27, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Policy lawyering
Since we are just filling the admin noticeboard (not that it matters, it will be moved later). The "offensive" tag is just determined by sysop discretion, but the user page policy is pretty clear in demanding user page content to follow the game's terms and conditions pointing to this link. Unless/until the link is replaced to point to the EULA only (and until its actually stated by Anet that the wiki is exempt from the Rules of Conduct in particular), that kind of content would be deemed forbidden by the user page policy, not because it may be offensive, but because of the "must do what anet says" part of the policy.--Fighterdoken 05:31, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Seriously? You are THAT offended. Why do people like yourselves worry so much about what doesnt affect you in anyway? It's a joke, treat it as such and get over it. --Shadowsin 05:33, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

You've got to be kidding...
The ways this page doesn't violate User page policy are numbered exactly zero from what I can see. Please change it.-- Wynthyst 06:19, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Please zip it. Offending indirectly =/= Offending directly. It's a joke. Thicker skin is always good.--Shadowsin 06:35, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

I suggest you take a look at this --Shadowphoenix 06:36, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh shit, a proposed policy. Run, Shadowsin, before he puts your balls in a vice. --67.176.107.126
 * Why does everyone assume im a he, ugh....--Shadowphoenix [[Image:User-Shadowphoenix Shadow Phoenix Signet.jpg|19x19px]] 06:40, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I know im running from he/she/it already. --Shadowsin 06:42, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, you're voting for Clinton. Should've guessed. --67.176.107.126 06:43, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Hai 2 you mam. please don't add any further discussion as to the content on my userpage here, or anywhere for that matter, when an admin deals with it, it will be done. I think everyone has made their opinion/point known all of yours I have rejected as per my beliefs about censorship that extreme, and peoples generally thin skin, but please do feel free to wait around for an admin's official decision.--Shadowsin 06:47, 25 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Why are you assumed to be male? First off, because you're posting on an online computer game website.  And secondly because English has this tradition of using masculine pronouns as the general case of s/he/it.  Half the time (at least), I doubt the writer is mentally ascribing any gender, but just using the standard to refer to someone with a pronoun.  - T HARKUN  [[Image:User_Tharkun_sig.png|16px]] 06:48, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

permanent scarring
Just wanted you to know that I'm only 6 (and three quarters!) and am permanently scarred from your story. I'll probably grow up a sociopath now. Thanks a lot, jerk! warning: this post employs sarcasm - T HARKUN  07:10, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * :P Gw is rated T if im not mistaken little boy, what are you doing here? Same warning --Shadowsin 07:13, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Drama, theatrics and general schmoobery
Yes, I made that word up. First of all, doing something to annoy the rest of the users here is not a good thing. You've already seen how the current events with Mgrinshpon have played out, and yet you continue to post that story and generally harass users who have tried doing a good thing. Yes, sure, go ahead and discuss something if you think it was unfair - but do not do it in such a way that personally attacks or offends that user.

If you disagreed with the removal and block of Mgrinshpon and his text, take it up with the sysop who enacted that, not the users who notified the administrators of it. If you intend to cause disruption for the sake of causing disruption - which your copying of the story on your userpage caused - then think again about doing it. I'm glad you removed it from your userpage after seeing how other users felt about it, but doing it in the first place must have had that cross your mind.

If you think there are problems, flaws or unresolved issues concerning the user pages and what is housed in them, by all means carry on with the discussion that's ongoing. But do so constructively. -- Brains12 \ Talk 14:55, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Peronsally, Grishes block for trolling and vandalizing i have no problem with, what i do have a problem with is the readiness at which people report the smallest thing on the admin noticeboard. The story, Albeit mature and generally really weird, was just a joke, if you look at it that way it's really quite funny, but people are so quit to jump to the offense just because it's a little dirty, I dont know if you heard any comedians recently but thats what their jokes mainly comprise of, a shocker ending, and sexually explicit matieral. I dont think admins should go mucking with peoples user spaces just because a user cant take a joke. and as for users concern. If you find something offensive or bad stop reading, it wasnt like it was out in the open at all?--Shadowsin 17:31, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * The point of my objection was not even so much the adult content, but rather to total lack of pertaining to Guild Wars, or the Guild Wars Wiki, which is suppose to be the focus of user pages. The fact that the adult content would generally be seen as being offensive to a large portion of the community, as well as being totally inappropriate for the younger members or the community only points to your lack of good judgment.  But of course you knew when you did it that you were going to set off a storm of drama, which is exactly why you did it.--[[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png |Go to Wynthyst's Talk page]] Wynthyst 00:38, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I wont deny that. But not everyones userpage needs to be about Guild wars, thats what the articles are for. And what is there honestly to write about GWW, its a wiki. The childrens wouldnt even know about it if there wasnt so much controversy. It was on grinshes userspace, hidden under a "Read more" label, and only if you frequented grinshes page, would you even know about it at all, until you got all the "I'm offended by almost everything" crowd spamming each others talk pages, and the admin noticeboard, did a majority of people even know of its existance.--Shadowsin 00:54, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Wyn, why the hell should user pages only discuss GW and the wiki? -- Armond Warblade[[Image:User Armond sig image.png]] 02:38, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

You know
Your comments are starting to hurt more than help Shadowsin, I know you mean well; but the situation is over, why prolong it? Hopefully everything will calm down and they will come back. Well anyway, I would say just leave it be it will prob. resolve itself anyway :). --Myria83 04:19, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Meh. If tanaric doesn't come back i will rage more. >.> people being stupid i don't tolerate as well. "Lets rage quit cuz life is unfair" ~.~.--Shadowsin 04:31, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't suggest raging, because isnt that the same thing they did was "rage". Obviously that lead nowhere on their part, so I would not suggest it :).  --Myria83 04:34, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * No they cried. --Shadowsin 07:01, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * If you wish to avoid drama, stop. If you really think Tanaric would want you flaming here, there and everywhere in his name, you need to do some thinking. The situation has dragged on for too long . Stop. --[[Image:User Brains12 Spiral.png|15px| ]] Brains12 \ Talk 14:36, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
