User talk:Kalsion
Violation of GWW:USER after being warned already. — ク Eloc 貢 01:43, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
- if he doesnt want your shitty "welcome", you can't force it on him... — Skuld 01:46, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
- I'm not talking about the welcome. I'm talking about him violating GWW:USER after being warned. — ク Eloc 貢 01:51, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
- Why don't you archive it for him then, Eloc. (Aiiane - talk - contribs) 01:53, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
- (Edit conflict) To Skuld, it's the same welcome everyone gives. It's not shitty either, it's very informative and makes things seem a bit less intimidating. And if Kalsion doesn't want it, then archive, don't delete the talk page and violate GWW:USER. And, it's "considered rude to make edits to another person's userspace without that user's permission.". Kalsion was told how to archive, there's nothing holding him/her back. Calor - talk 01:58, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
- On a side note, that passage you quoted Calor is slightly out of context, given that the next words after it are the parenthetical "(not including talk pages)". Now, you're correct in that the policy does generally specify that a user should archive their own page. However, since Eloc has not only reverted the page back but also posted here, I'm not sure exactly what he's looking for: a sysop to come yell at the person in question? For removing a form-style welcome from their page? Yes, policy technically disallows it but it seems a rather silly issue to press. (Aiiane - talk - contribs) 02:03, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Sockpuppet of Anele Mea. See the history which shows that the page was started by Anele Mea which gives me good proof that it is a sockpuppet. — ク Eloc 貢 03:18, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
- It could be some guy making a page for his friend, happens all the time. Anyway, who cares? God, fail. — Skuld 03:21, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
- Welcome to the Eloc vigilante, Skuld. No friend page edits go unnoticed. -Auron 03:21, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
Are Sock puppets against the rules? I don't see the harm as long as you don't vote twice or anything. I don't think this is a sock account anyway. --- Raptors / RAAAAAAAAAA!
- Yes, sockpuppets are against the rules. Also, what would be the need to have another account? — ク Eloc 貢 03:23, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
- The whole conversation seems moot unless there is some kind of vandalism or something going on. Proving sock puppets is difficult enough without looking for them unnecessarily. --Lemming 03:24, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
- Also having looked at the pages in question it does seem far more likely that it is a friend helping make their userpage. --Lemming 03:27, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
- Sockpuppets refer to using multiple accounts to give the impression that more than one person is favoring a point. Merely registering multiple accounts is not sockpuppetry, nor do we disallow it (in fact, we encourage it if someone has multiple names they use, or signs posts with something other than what their exact username is). Unless they're using multiple accounts to get involved in the same issue, I don't see the harm here. (Aiiane - talk - contribs) 04:36, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Felikia (talk • contribs • logs • block log)
GWW:NPA breach at my talk page (quote: "Still under the assumption that you're the only person who knows what they're talking about in a discussion?"). Now this user is something interesting. The account has been made only to post at my the talk page; but notice this edit, made by the IP 12.210.6.191. User:Felikia later continued that conversation as if she were the one who made the above edit; in other words, as if she were IP 12.210.6.191. And that IP had already been blocked after (surprise!) a NPA attack against me (as seen here). I believe this is the same user who did that attack, using a registered account. Erasculio 21:32, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
- Sherlock did digging, I see! Going through the steps you went through, and the IP's POV and Felikia's, I would hazard a guess that Sherlock hit the nail on the head. Calor - talk 21:51, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
- Judging from your talk archive, you two obviously have history. And I'm not sure this can be seen as a personal attack. Backsword 21:53, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
- The GWO comment interests me. Maybe I'll go looking around. Anyone know her ID on GWO? Calor - talk 21:58, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
- She has been banned from GWO, after making multiple accounts in order to PM me insults. Erasculio 22:06, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
- oh yeah... I remember this from last time it happened. -elviondale (tahlk) 22:16, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
- Erasculio, you have to admit you're not the nicest of users (this is not an attack). Yeah, Felikia hates you, but a ban over that comment seems too much. Wait until she really makes a mistake, I know you can take it.reanor 22:28, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
- If this is an on-going thing it should be taken to arbcom, there is clearly an underlying issue here, and is not an open and shut case. --Lemming 00:00, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
- Lemming's right there. IMO wait on the call to the bullpen (ArbComm) for a day or two, see if everything cools down and there's no more disturbance. Calor - talk 00:02, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
- That might happen. But I wouldn't like this to go all the way up to ArbComm. It's bad for Erasculio's image and record, since he has been subject of user-user arbitration before. That wouldn't be fair if he turns out to be the "victim" here.reanor 00:17, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Request for arbitration
I believe arbitration is warranted regarding the conduct of User:Raptors, primarily regarding harassment of another user and another personal attack. I do not believe that attempting to reason with him or imposing a normal block will be effective enough, given his general attitude (especially regarding previous attempts). --Rezyk 01:37, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
- Just ban him, stop being stupid — Skakid9090 01:39, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

- Shouldn't this go here, Rezyk? Backsword 02:07, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

- Perhaps. Aberrant blocked him for a month for the NPA vios, so it doesn't much matter. Can take him to ArbComm if he comes back. Backsword 13:48, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
- I can't speak for the other bureaucrats, but I will respond to all arbitration requests that I happen upon and that are clearly meant as arbitration requests.

Auron (talk • contribs • logs • block log)
GWW:NPA. Beginning with his comment ("I'm tired of goddamn stupid logic from people that can't think") about those who don't agree with him on the Adminship discussion. Then on my own talk page ("I'm not going to bother responding to your little troll bait, because it is just too stupid", "it's clear that you have no interest using logic and reason to discuss; stop trolling policy pages and let them be productive"), then back at the Admin discussion ("95% of the wiki is ignorant because, as you are demonstrating, they are ignoring facts and intelligence by bringing up the same example over and over after it's been refuted repeatedly" and "You've conveniently ignored (as trolls are wont to do)"). Lastly above, on Raptor's section ("Skakid; don't bother. Those who are blind can't be made to see"). The lack of arguments (beyond "look at GuildWiki!") coupled with all those attacks are getting tiresome. Erasculio 02:02, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
- I'd just like to point out that Auron is an active contributor, but with a rather bad attitude. Raptors broke GWW:NPA far more and far worse, yet he hasn't been banned. So before anyone does anything, consider that.reanor 02:10, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
- Raptors has been banned like a couple of times now. — ク Eloc 貢 02:26, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
- But he's not banned now.reanor 02:30, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
- We don't have to go "all or nothing" on the punishments. Too much leniency is bad, but if Auron were permanently blocked just because of this section, it would be going against many of the things even I believe in, as mentioned on the ArbComm about Skuld. For someone who's a valued contributor, I think educative action is more important than a purely punitive one; but if said education must come through punishment, so be it. Erasculio 02:33, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
- Again, that seems to me to be more an issue of not having enough sysops around. It's not like there is anything else preventing it, unless for some reason the sysops don't consider any of it to be a personal attack. --Rezyk 02:40, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
- It's gotta by lack of on-line personal. If they don't consider it a violation they should at least say something here.reanor 02:46, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
- He's been warned. If he makes another ad hominem attack, I think he should get blocked for a day or two. -- Gordon Ecker 03:08, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
- Auron was right on that talk page, cant say he wasnt. also, if Auron offend u, plx fail less. --Cursed Angel 12:40, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
- Something that doesn't seem to occur to most people - it doesn't matter who is right or wrong, you're attacking another user and that is not allowed on the wiki. If you want to tell someone they are wrong, do it in a respectful manner or dont bother. - BeX 13:26, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
- If you think being offended by a certain thing is silly, and you don't have anything polite to respond with, you can help by ignoring it. Saying "fail less" (and this applies to so many people) is not going to accomplish anything except aggravate the situation. -- ab.er.rant 14:39, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

- Bot reports: Gibberish, link spam, etc (obvious, easy, quick block)
- Vandal reports: Intentional vandalism (take a look, think it over, ban)
- Policy Violations: Users gone wrong (discuss, drama, resolve)
- Other reports: borderline cases, not clearly covered by policies (drama, discretion required, resolve)
- So users get here first, go report to the right place, and admins can work on shorter lists with similar issues. Wich also allows admins to choose to work on what they think they are better at dealing with.reanor 20:24, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
