NPA[edit]
Yes, yes it is NPA. Unless you're referring to a bundle of sticks, which you are not, addressing someone as "faggot" falls into the category of NPA. Keep it up and you'll be blocked for a while. calor (talk) 05:25, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

- Whether Chaos feels offended or not is just one small issue. When viewed in a larger perspective, it should not become a norm to fling around foul language on a wiki, whose main purpose is to be informative for GW players. And that includes talk pages. Koda Kumi 20:47, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

- The wiki is about documenting the game, and I am glad some people are still serious about it. Sounding as professional and mature as possible is the better thing to do. I don't want to be in a wiki where trolling, calling each others 'faggots' or 'retards' is the norm; it sounds immature, it's not funny, it drives potential editors away from such a seemingly 'hostile' environment because god knows who's going to be attacked next. It's not my intention to lecture anyone, I just honestly believe the community benefits from a stricter enforcement of NPA, as 'carebear' as I may sound. I am aware I have no rights to judge anyone's actions, but I am sure I have the right to state what I am not willing to tolerate as a member of a given community. Those who believe 'foul language' is fine, whatever the definition of it is, go around testing at your job or university - you'll soon find out what is appropriate and what is not. --Sensei | talk 18:32, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
- I used the word "fuck" while describing how a chapter in the biblical book of Ezekiel (and one in Enoch, which is pseudepigraphal not biblical) directly correlated with the way in which mobile media affects pre-teens. If I remember correctly, that thesis was both published and earned me a scholarship. However, apparently that language is just terrible. Karate Jesus 18:38, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
- Exceptions are exceptions, context is context. The norm, however, usually tells to avoid certain words or behaviors - my point is to support the argument where a personal attack doesn't need to be taken as offense directly to be considered an NPA violation - other editors can be indirectly offended, too. No one cares about other people's 'internal jokes' or have any obligation to 'know the catch'; those who want to use such terms should take it to a private messenger. --Sensei | talk 18:55, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
- If a person is "indirectly offended" by another person's comment, then simply by definition that is not a "personal" attack. If people would like content edited for their poor, virgin eyes, then they probably shouldn't be using a wiki...which has no age or content restriction (short of the minutia of what's expressed in policy).

But now I'm just repeating myself over - excuse my bad english and congrats on that thesis (honest, forgot to post up there). :)--Sensei | talk 19:20, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
- That thesis was several years ago, but thanks I guess. And obviously I agree with you that any word that discriminates doesn't have a place on the wiki (that's why I pointed out the use of the word "retard" earlier). However, "foul" language, I think should be ok on user talk pages. Again....as long as it doesn't discriminate. Karate Jesus 19:32, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Breach of GWW:NPA[edit]
^ Your comment is in breach of GWW:NPA. As the first line in GWW:NPA states, "Comment on content, not on the contributor." Calling people "faggots" as you have is commenting on the contributors. Furthermore, saying someone is retarded if they think it's a breach of GWW:NPA is also in breach of it. You're calling someone retarded based on their actions, not calling their actions retarded. Please don't do it again. Thanks. -- Lacky 05:26, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

- Regardless of whether it's a fact or not, the policy is designed to stop personal attacks. Danny calling Chaos a faggot, for instance, is akin to negro rappers calling each other "nigger". If Danny was more eloquent, he would have put it that way instead of calling the overzealous policy criers "retarded" but, alas, he is only a pretty face. Mr J 11:29, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

- My explanation is that you misunderstood. It simply wasn't an attack. Mr J 12:20, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
- The fact of a person being not offended by it is irrelevant. -- Lacky 13:10, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
- How so? We aren't allowed to call a black man black? Or a bad player a bad player. That makes no sense. You will be banning until the cows come home on that logic then there will be no one left. Funny thing is I don't think Danny really cares. However the point is still valid. Be more careful on following the "rules".

Just revert the ban and I will assume good faith in you again. BTW this is a principal thing not a personal one. You know the difference?----Xtreme 13:32, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

- I'm not a sysop Xtreme, and I haven't (and can't) ban anybody. And yes, I do understand the difference. I'm not a "policy whore", I am just trying to keep the wiki stable and from being disrupted, which this conversation is slowly turning into, so I shall just leave it at this. Danny breached policy and has been notified by me and a sysop. As I would understand it, since a Sysop did warn him, he obviously did do something wrong. End of discussion. -- Lacky 13:45, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
- (Edit conflict) Eras is correct on all accounts, so Xtreme, your accusations are not warranted. Also, in your quoting of policy, you seemed to have used a part of the sentence without reading it in its entirety, i.e. when there are disagreements about content, referring to other editors is not always a personal attack. Do not take a part of a sentence and use it out of context in order to try and solidify your case. Please understand policy before quoting it, like editors are strongly discouraged from using profanity in comments to other contributors, which does encompass Danny calling Chaos a faggot. Finally, do not make personal attacks as well, such as calling Lacky a "policy hore". Oh, and you mispelled hore, it's whore. — Gares 13:52, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Lacky, I signed with "Chaos is gay" on PvX for a while, and it's a running joke. Calling me a faggot in that context just makes me laugh, and Danny, as well as most people here, are aware of that. I appreciate your concern, but his comment was pure humor. Even if it isn't a reference to me being gay, it is a winning reference about the autism on PvX...... Why the hell am I being so polite? :> ---Chaos- (moo) -- 13:59, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
- Okay then....PS sticky W----Xtreme 14:12, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
- (EC) "Policy Whore" is actually a breach of NPA as Xtreme is using your personal traits (whether they be truthful or not doesn't matter) as a reason for why your point of view in a discussion is incorrect. Danny calling 3 people whom he is friendly with "faggots" in a discussion which can at best be described as circle-jerking is not an NPA violation. As for an admin warning him, remember that calor is human (afaik) which means he is not flawless in his discretionary judgement. He is within his rights to ask Danny to refrain from that behaviour, but whether he is correct that it is an NPA breach or not is another matter. Danny (and other users) are within their right to calmly and logically discuss how or if it is a breach of NPA and should strive to do so for the improvement of policies and their enforcement. If they're capable, that is. Calling people retarded and living in your own fantasy world (wtf Xtreme?) aren't exactly constructive means, though. Mr J 14:17, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
- An addendum because I've just had the chance to read Gares' comment. My understanding of the spirit of NPA is that editors should encourage constructive discussions and not try to "win" them by with intimidation or ad hominem arguments. Admins however have the discretion to ask users to refrain from whatever behaviour they decide is unacceptable, so the discussion about whether it's NPA or not is purely academic. Mr J 14:38, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
- For thouse who miss the point...he isn't an admin...he can't ban...he is wrong about policy....and I did take the policy out of context but the point is still valid.----Xtreme 14:45, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
- "I signed with "Chaos is gay" on PvX for a while, and it's a running joke. Calling me a faggot in that context just makes me laugh, and Danny, as well as most people here, are aware of that." What you did on PvX or anywhere else really doesn't matter. Statements like that are a violation of GWW policy. It doesn't require the person it's directed at to be offended, if it is perceived by anyone in the community as a violation, it pretty much IS a violation. Please keep your personal jokes between yourselves in personal/private messages, or in places (like PvX) where it is not a breach of community policy. Thanks. -- Wyn talk 14:54, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
- (Edit conflict) His "breach" of NPA falls under "Racial, sexual, homophobic, ageist, religious, political, or ethnic epithets directed against another contributor.".
- I see that that which he said was not directed against me, or anyone else, and was obviously a joke. ---Chaos- (moo) -- 15:05, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
- (Edit conflict) Mr. J, I'll agree with you on almost all accounts, however, NPA doesn't explicitly factor in the possibility of friendly banter just for one good reason...name-calling is name-calling regardless of the situation. However, there is a gray area, but that is where discretion comes into play. It is a courtesy and in good faith for us as admins to ask to a user to refrain from such behavior, but as stated before, we also have the discretion to act if we see fit, albeit, it should be done fairly, with just cause, and without any bias.
- Xtreme, users can ask for others to refrain from such behavior, regardless of whether Lacky can ban or not is a moot point. — Gares 15:02, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
- I think it gives some room for banter in that it states what types of behaviour are explicit examples of what it not acceptable (even though it states those listed are not exhaustive) but it merely states that users are strongly discouraged from casually using profanity. The reason for that clause of the policy is because they can be intimidating to some types of people and since all profane words are superfluous in the English vocabulary there is no loss in discouraging their use. We agree on the gray area covered by discretion and that was what I was trying to get across at the end of my addendum; even if it isn't NPA, Calor (presumably made an admin because a majority of users trust his judgement) asked him not to do it and he is within his rights to take whatever action he deems appropriate if Danny ignores that warning. Mr J 15:20, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
- Gares the point is valid for it was between 2 people and if anyone should be involved is the ones in the banter. IF Chaos screamed NPA then I am fine with that...however when someone who isn't involved (besides admins) and shouldn't even have any say in NPA in that contribution. My point was that Lacky isn't an admin and shouldn't be sticking his nose in where it dosen't belong. His grey area in NPA is the problem here.----Xtreme 15:33, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
- He was an admin 2 hours ago. Mr J 15:44, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
- "however when someone who isn't involved (besides admins) and shouldn't even have any say in NPA in that contribution." That is where you have it wrong Xtreme. Talk pages belong to the entire community. Any member of the community is welcome to comment on them, or monitor them. They don't have to "be involved" to cite a policy breach, and they don't have to be an admin to notify/warn a user of a policy breach. -- Wyn talk 16:04, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

I love how Gares manages to kick large amounts of ass even when I'm disagreeing with him.

Mr J just violated NPA by calling me "nothing more than a pretty face," which could be read as "Danny is dumb." But, really, that's hardly NPA if I don't care about being called dumb. Also, Wyn, have you ever bothered to read Responding to personal attacks? If my cordial language with Chaos bothers you, just ignore it. We gays have every right to call each other faggots if we want. ··· Danny Pew Pew 19:11, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

- (Edit conflict) Danny really is kinda cute. The face reminds me of a fellow from a series who turned out to be a murderer. Oh, and if anyone would actually read through the policy again, they'd conclude that nothing in what Danny said is against the policy, or even the spirit of the policy, which was drafted for completely different cases. ---Chaos- (moo) -- 19:16, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
- "...cases which other users may feel as though another user is acting in a hostile manner towards them." It's not just about them.

The easiest way for this not to happen is for you all to keep your private jokes private, in IM or email or some such, rather than posting it on a community accessible page here. -- Wyn talk 19:28, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
- I can't seem to find where you quote that from.

- Several users were calling each other "retarded" for quite a while (not reason to name names). On top of that, it's common to allow people on this website to use the term "retard" or "retarded" or even "mentally handicapped" to describe comments or things that happen on this wiki. In my opinion, that should be much more offensive than the word "faggot". Karate Jesus 20:22, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

(Reset indent) (Edit conflict) In that situation you mentioned, KJ, if someone did get take offense, it would be just like this. With three admins here already involved here and stating not to do it, it's pretty clear that calling someone a faggot is not the best thing to do on GWW. Rules vary on different sites. I think we all know that. When a user participates on a site, they either follow the policies set for that site, or risk disciplinary action, e.g. see Chaos' status now. — Gares 20:49, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
- I'm confused about why that was directed at me, but I was just pointing out that there is a double standard around here. Calling someone "autistic" will earn you a ban, but calling them "retarded" wont. Calling someone a "faggot" will earn you a ban, but being vehemently passive aggressive wont. Just saying... Karate Jesus 20:55, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
I've yet to see any good reasons for why "faggot" is an offensive term in and of itself. "Stupid" or "gay" are easily just as offensive. I certainly could restrict my actions to making negative statements on IRC, but I see very little difference in a case where I am not attempting to intimidate another user. If I had been attempting to intimidate or be generally hostile towards Chaos or any other user, I could clearly see the issue. However, one user involving himself in something that he or she does not need to involve him- or herself, particularly when those actions don't coincide with any possible interpretation of the resolution portion of NPA. If it is undesirable for users to view these comments, don't travel into the user talk spaces of users who do not mind such language. ··· Danny Pew Pew 21:48, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

- KJ, way above I think you misunderstood me, only the first sentence was thrown your way. Retard, faggot, gay, "he rides the short bus", w/e, it's all the same. I actually banned TahiriVeila for calling someone retarded. I don't discriminate. — Gares 00:25, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
- What about the words "No offence". You are one pathetic loser....no offence (don't NPA me it is a quote from a movie...name it)----Xtreme 17:51, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
- No, Lloyd, I'm not going to ban you for your example. Usually "No offence" comes before something NPAish just to soften the blow, for example, if someone said: "No offense, but you are a complete and utter moron." Regardless of the "No offense", the NPA is there. — Gares 20:27, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Am I still allowed to use "stupid" as a descriptor, then? I mean, if I can't use faggot, cunt, fuck, shit, ass, nigger, or any one of the other numerous and various words that can be deemed offensive, I don't see why I'd be permitted to use a word that is easily just as offensive as retarded, autistic, or palsy-stricken. If that's the case, I'm perfectly alright with it as long as we make sure to start banning anyone who uses offensive language, regardless of context. ··· Danny Pew Pew 21:05, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
- Tbh, Danny makes a very good point. I don't think the wiki can or should try to place "limits" on offensiveness - "this word is worse than that one, so you can say these but not those". It's all up to individual interpretation in the end, anyway. (Related: Dirigible is syphilis awesome.) -- Armond Warblade{{Bacon}} 21:22, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Timestamps[edit]
You know they're common practice here? - J.P.Talk 07:39, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
- i sign with three tildes on pvx, so i forget pretty often. you're welcome to fix any ones i miss. ··· Danny Pew Pew 09:00, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
- since when can you sign with 3 tildes on pvx? And i always just hit the sig button anyway =\ --TahiriVeila 14:37, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
- If you have a customized timestamp (like Danny and I), you only sign with 3 tildes. Otherwise, you end up with 2 timestamps like this ---> Karate Jesus 14:59, 31 March 2010 (UTC) 14:59, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
- The downside to this is that I can't be bothered using 4 tildes here, except when having a discussion about it, because I simply don't remember. Not to mention, timestamps are relatively pointless as long as you sign in the correct place. ··· Danny Pew Pew 13:37, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
- Not that I super-care, but timestamps are really a courtesy to other users, and making up false ones (like above) will probably just irritate people. elix Omni 18:49, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

- hey now, the mayans aren't ones to cry wolf. we gotta take this shit seriously until they call another date the apocalypse and that one doesn't happen either. After that we can ignore anything the mayans, or their ancestors, have to say. like base 20 math. what the fuck is up with that? MAFARAXAS 05:40, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
