Because I am at least half-lazy (2)
Nooo. You have to do it because you surely want to make the Wiki a better place and you should assume that I am lazy and you might hurt my feelings if you don't and this is not a place where bureaucrats should hurt peoples' feelings. Per RS:IAR, IAR is to be ignored in this situation and my logic is to be taken as final. Rawr. 16:58, February 3, 2010 (UTC)

Ettiquette is a two-way street
Karlis, you are correct that I have been less than polite in how I addressed the problem, and for that I apologize, but I believe the person who removed the image files I contributed owes both you and I an apology as well, as they effectively edited my user-page, something that I had thought was considered taboo in all but the most extreme cases. I would have appreciated the chance to discuss the problem and removed the images myself, if the community reached a consensus, and decided that more harm than good had been done. Sadly, that was not the approach, and the nature of the images tends to put their removal in a fairly bad light, as a unilateral decision by a lone individual, and without discussion with myself or anyone else.

Shall I leave the images in my flash drive, or share them with the community? I will change my plans and wait for your response before I upload them or the others I have gathered since.

Incidently, my login is not working for "TheLastWordSword". Can you tell me why?

Ip block
As you seem to be the most knowledgeable about blocking, I wish to bring this ip into your attention Special:Contributions/218.186.10.228 a whois confirms that it is a proxy, possible from a site that tries to insert some kind malware, based on a brief google search. I just temp blocked it, but I don't know how long such a block should be, or if I'm even right about the ip. 10:11, February 8, 2010 (UTC)

Images needing Transparency
Hey, Karlis. Enigma was working on some images for the awards the RSWP is doing, File:Greenstar.svg, File:Goldstar.svg, File:Silverstar.svg, and File:Bronzestar.svg. Because they are svg images, they are harder to apply transparency to, or so Enigma tells me. He is unable to apply it, are you? 15:28, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

Rollback
Hello,

I am requesting the rollback flag. Most of my edits here are undos, and while I have made a couple of mistakes (3, that I can count), I have undone well over 100 edits, over the last week. If you think that I am not experienced enough here to warrant this, then I can accept that. However, it should be noted that I hold rollback on English Wikipedia (verify) and administrative rights on a few toy and gaming wikis. I undo vandalism across Wikia through the counter-vandalism network IRC channel, and would like to do some more reverting here. I am aware of what should and shouldn't be rolled back, and I have around 8 months of counter-vandalism experience under my belt (4 months Wikia-wide). As stated above, if you should require that I be more active here, and refuse the flag because of this, I won't die crying ;).

Thanks, Ajraddatz Talk 01:38, February 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Done. Ajraddatz Talk 01:59, February 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you, I will be sure to not rollback AGF edits :) Ajraddatz Talk 02:05, February 12, 2010 (UTC)

Frede's rollback
I was checking the user-list-thingy and noticed that all admins had their rollback ability removed when they became admins (since it is included in the admin tools). Frede never has this happen and is still classed as both a rollback and an admin. While nothing can come from leaving it like it is, it probably should be changed for consistency sake. 07:00, February 12, 2010 (UTC)

Transparency
Sorry, I realize what must be done.

Three (I think) requests
Maybe someone else can help me, but you're very handy on my talk page, I'm still new, and I feel comfortable with talking to you. The first and most obvious: I need a sandbox, worse than most cats do, and I don't even know enough code to grab my own and put it on my userpage. I have way too much trouble navigating pages and cutting and pasting to use the Sandbox page. Please, thank you, and I promise not to name my first child after you. =) Second, I need to master transparencies; I haven't the first clue as to how it's done. Third, I need time to remember what the third one was, I think I can ask someone else about Photobucket, thanks anyway. (There, that was three, I was right!) --TheLastWordSword 17:35, February 12, 2010 (UTC)

spacebar
Thought you would find this amusing, I just passed old laptop on to younger son, and he keeps cursing at the space-bar. I'm loving it.--Degenret01 17:04, February 13, 2010 (UTC)

Requesting rollback
Would it be possible for me to get rollback? I come across vandals often, and yet it's annoying to revert obvious vandalism, since I must go through the page history and go through the editing interface. Oftentimes, I'm beaten by someone else (most likely someone with rollback). As such, I'd like to request the rollback feature so that I can more easily combat obvious vandalism. Thanks, -- 02:02, February 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * I have read Help:Revert, RuneScape:Rollback examples, and signed here. -- 02:55, February 16, 2010 (UTC)

Question
Where do I discuss about a new template that I made? Is it the YG? Cause I'm not sure :S 19:00, February 17, 2010 (UTC)

Usernames
Do you know if there's any way to change my username on RuneScape wiki, or is there any way you can change it?

Thanks

21:33, February 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * Okay, thanks anyway :) 09:42, February 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Are you an Op in the IRC? If so please come quick :) 03:11, February 26, 2010 (UTC)

RE: IRC
Cool, thanks for setting it up! -- 21:12, February 26, 2010 (UTC)

Protecting UserPages
Is there any way for me to protect my userpage? Thanks 21:52, February 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh, okay, can you like, lock it so only I can edit it? :) Cause I've seen people's like, all been deleted by people spamming, and don't want it to happen to me :) thanks 20:38, February 27, 2010 (UTC)

Check user
Hey i need some help to find if this ip is Parsonsda 21:54, February 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * It does not appear to be him, bu seeing as how parsonsda edits from a dynamic IP, it is somebody who lives close to him or possibly him using a different computer or IP due to having dialup, among other possibilities. Regardless, if he instructed his friend to edit on his behalf, he is still evading his ban. Having someone type something for you as you instruct because you can't is evading your ban. -- 22:49, February 26, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Usernames
Oh okay, thanks anyway dude :) 13:40, February 28, 2010 (UTC)

IRC
Hey Karlis. I made a couple of small changes to a couple of permissions on the IRC channel. Notably, I removed auto-op in favour of allowing you (or others, namely Quarenon) to manually make yourself op when OP is needed. That's what we've done traditionally (it allows you to only stand out when you need to be authoritative) and conforms to the "OP" template of permissions on the channel.

To OP yourself, just use "/msg ChanServ OP #wikia-runescape".

To give someone OP after a community decision or otherwise, you can use "/msg ChanServ FLAGS #wikia-runescape NICKNAME OP". This is a template that will give NICKNAME the ability to voice/devoice (not used much), op themselves (but not automatically), set the topic, unban, and view access levels for the channel.

Requesting rollback
Hey, I'm just writing here to request rollback.I see vandals a lot and would like to be able to revert them quickly so i can go help with something useful. I have read the pages required and signed the page saying i have read it. Thanks. 04:57, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks 11:40, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

Gilded altar
can i use ur g altar my username is j0hnc3nafan1

Rollback Request
May you please grant me rollback I have read the couple pages on it and the examples and signed the page for rollback as well. I think that rollback will help me deal with vandalism more efficiently thank you very much. -- 04:20, March 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks thats okay just would have asked some one else if you didn't reply. 18:43, March 18, 2010 (UTC)

Removal of Bonziiznob's Tools
I do not feel neutral enough to perform such an action considering the circumstances, I request that you honour the request instead, as it would be inappropriate for me to do so.-- 04:14, March 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Scratch that..-- 04:34, March 16, 2010 (UTC)

Transparency for meee
I was wondering if you'd be kind enough to add transparency to some non-RS animations for meh. :o He has knocked four times. 11:48, March 23, 2010 (UTC)

Image links?
O hai, I was wondering if you knew how to (or if it's possible) to ass add* a link to an image, such as http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/6619/48buttonred.png <- This one, and make it redirect to a random page, or a page of my choosing.

If you can help, it would be great :)

Question about rollback
Hi Karlis, Azaz did not give too clear an answer for this question that I asked him. Could you answer it? Thank you, 00:34, April 8, 2010 (UTC)

A Quick Question
Just a quick question... is it possible to un-block someone who was blocked infientidly. Can you un-block them if they were innocent, such as someone using their account, or it being an extermely long time being blocked? Thank You... Stopme 05:59, April 11, 2010 (UTC)

Checkuser request!
Could you please run a checkuser on User:Sirnot1 due to concerns raised in Forum:Nominating Sirnot1 To Be UnBlocked (Urgent)? 06:45, April 11, 2010 (UTC)

Remove rollback
Hi Karlis, can you remove me from the rollback group, please? It's pointless to have it, since sysop includes rollback. (I believe Frede also has duplicated rights) 14:58, April 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * But not everyone who has rollback is a sysop, such as myself. 15:00, April 18, 2010 (UTC)

Scratch that, didn't see that Azaz already did it. 18:33, April 18, 2010 (UTC) : O You're fast. While I was deciding on the block settings, you already blocked the vandal. 01:39, April 25, 2010 (UTC)

Requesting Rollback Rights, Evil1888
Hi, I am requesting rollback rights as I am always on the lookout for vandals and mis-edits to the market watch. I feel this will be an invaluable tool to improve the wiki to the best of my ability. I have read and fully understood RuneScape:Rollback examples, Help:Revert and RuneScape:Assume good faith. I have also signed RuneScape:Rollback examples/Signed and am contacting you (a bureaucrat) as instructed. 20:08, April 22, 2010 (UTC)

When making sysops
I should have posted this to you also when I mentioned it to Azaz, sorry. Anyhow, I think it owuld be helpful if when you give that "You can now" message add to it IP range finder tool and Mediawikis Range block information. I saw Azaz put it on a page of his but it seems to be his own personal one, so if you guys don't use each others and..you know what I'm saying. And hey!! How the hell ya been?--Degenret01 20:33, April 22, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Rollback
Thank you :) Rsa23899 23:36, April 22, 2010 (UTC)

Requesting rollback rights
Hi, I'm requesting rollback right as sometimes I hang around in the CVN IRC channel. I'm understood the pages about rollback rights and have signed RuneScape:Rollback_examples/Signed. 12:04, May 8, 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for the rollback tool :) 10:44, May 13, 2010 (UTC)

Signature
Hey Karlis, I saw you reverted your signature back. I agree the height isn't a big deal, but you do need to have text in your signature (not contained within an image) with your name, per Forum:Signature Policy and RS:SIG. That allows people like me who use mouseless web browsing to be able to search for comments and activate the link to your userpage, etc. You can probably get something similar to the image's look without needing the image itself. 06:48, May 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * I guess when I implemented the decision of Forum:Signature Policy I left it a bit ambiguous, but the intention of rule 1 was both to have your name displayed in the signature AND for it to be text. Disagreements should have been brought up on that proposal. I'll amend the rule now. 17:02, May 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * As your ammendment was not agreed upon by the community my sig will remain. If I have to inconvenience myself by change my sig, then other people can just as easily get a mouse or search for my easilly identifiable signature. This is petty, and I will take users editing my signature as vandalizing templates and act accordingly. 22:57, May 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * It WAS agreed to by the community, and it was in copying it to RS:SIG that it gained ambiguity. I am merely fixing that ambiguity. Again, read Forum:Signature Policy. As a seasoned editor you should know to assume good faith on my part. Stop attacking my motivations by calling this petty. When I personally identify something that I find disruptive about your signature and is contrary to policy, and then politely ask you to change it, who is being petty when you refuse to change it? What is so personal about your signature that a request to make it more helpful for some users would cause such a negative outpouring of emotion? 00:20, May 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't think you understand what I mean by "searchable" since scrolling through pages and pages of posts isn't what I had in mind. But I skipped over when you mentioned convenience; I should have said from the start that if it's a question of inconvenience I'd happily do it myself. I did so. The changes should be completely invisible, but let me know if it shows up on some browser. 23:40, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

Re:RSW
I wonder about this a bit man. Did we really every have an idealized time? Yea, theres definitely some pettier crap now, but I think Azaz was right when he said that ideal time never really existed. And then I keep wondering, am I part of the solution or part of the problem with the values and ideals I believe in and try to keep a part of the wiki? That's half rhetorical, as it depends of course on which side of a YG thread I am for :P I'm concerned, but have no idea how to proceed. Btw, that unbanning showed me how a group of seemingly otherwise rational individuals would indeed release a mass murderer back onto the streets. I always wondered what kind of person sits that parole board, and now I know. It's wikians!!!--Degenret01 14:39, May 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * You two are some of my favourites for a reason. Christine 01:04, May 11, 2010 (UTC)

RE:Signature
I was expecting to get hate mail for it within 10 minutes of changing it, but what can you do? As far as the size, I think yours is too small. If your being sarcastic, I am really not picking up on it. 00:05, May 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Seriously, am I supposed to shrink it now? 22:54, May 16, 2010 (UTC)

Ventrilo
Hey Karlis. As you are the operator of the Wiki Ventrilo server, I thought you should know about changes I have made to RS:OS. Please see RS:VENT for the new information page I've created, based off the old section. Also take a look at the discussion page. I know next to nothing about Ventrilo and the server, so feel free to change it how you see fit. You can also redirect the discussion page to your talk page (here) if that's what you think will work better. It's under your jurisdiction. Cheers, 08:34, May 11, 2010 (UTC)

Guide
So in order to get my pictures back, what do I need to do exactly. I just joined Wiki today so I'm new to everything. 01:25, May 24, 2010 (UTC)

Alright. Awesome. I really enjoy the friendlyness of everybody here. It's a great change from the jerks you encounter at GWD and rock lobs ^_^ 01:28, May 24, 2010 (UTC)

Hey, if you have a minute, I'm having a bit of trouble formatting a background for my rock lobs guide. Perhaps you could help me out quickly? 01:34, May 24, 2010 (UTC)

AWB/Typos
Hi and sorry to bother you,

But I'v noticed you're running AWB Typos, and you seem to be pulling them from RuneScape:AutoWikiBrowser/Typos. The problem is, when I run Typos, it seems to pull them from a different typo list than yours (for instance, it's trying to change vyre -> very, even though there's an exception for that in our list). Do you have any idea why this would be happening?

Thanks, 04:27, May 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hmm, I would ask him, but he hasn't really been active here for about a week. For now I'll just ask around some IRC channels. 04:39, May 24, 2010 (UTC)

Rollback Permissions
Hello, I am requesting rollback permissions to help me while combating vandals on the wiki. I have read and understood Runescape:Assume good faith and the differences of when to rollback, and when to undo and leave a summary. I have signed on the appropriate page also. If you look at my contributions it is evident that I do a lot of vandal work. Thank you for the consideration of the privilege. 01:19, May 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much. -- 14:07, May 27, 2010 (UTC)

The latest block
(Removing content from pages: If you want to make a wishlist, please register and create on on your userpage.) LOL! 02:36, May 30, 2010 (UTC)

Ported Help:Customising your signature to general Help
I genericized (is that a real word?) and ported Help:Customising your signature to Help:Customizing_your_signature/dev (it's only in /dev because I don't want people finding it Wikia-wide until it is done). I hope that's okay. It is a really good help page. I'm not sure what I need to do to roll it out to general Help, but at least it's a start.

I notified C Teng, but he said I should notify a bureaucrat. Any feedback would be appreciated. --Fandyllic 23:21, June 4, 2010 (UTC)

Well I never knew about that kind of stuff. But now hopefully I will be able to do it after seeing it done. 05:34, June 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks. A;so ware be ma opszor@@@@?? Just kidding. I was klined today by a bot brought in earlier to stop a spam attack, arg so annoying. Anyway er Tua I think said you could ad ops, and someone else, but I forget whom. 05:40, June 29, 2010 (UTC)

Hey
It's been awhile. How are you? 05:59, July 2, 2010 (UTC)

Email Link on RuneScape:Administrators
Hello, I was just wondering if you would be OK with having a link to your email on RuneScape:Administrators. You don't need to provide your email address, as it will be linked to through Special:Emailuser. Please respond on my talk page. Thanks! 20:17, July 31, 2010 (UTC)

Adding links to categories
How would I go about adding a link to a category. Whenever I try, it appears blank. Here's what I want to do: I want to edit the text for me userbox, Userbox/Adds Transparency. I want the "images in need" text to link to "Category:Images needing transparency". Thanks! 18:13, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

Forum:Additional requirements for the rollback group
Hey, just dropping by to make sure you're aware of the result of that thread - users requesting rollback now also require 200 non-user/user talk/sandbox edits, and their account needs to be at least 30 days old. Feel free to check contribs and such if you think its appropriate, use common sense and whatnot. 23:54, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

Happy Birthday

It's early, but I hope you have a great time. =) 18:28, August 15, 2010 (UTC)

No luck
The system has no way of knowing which edits are done via AWB and which are done using other software, or even the web editor. Looks like that way is a dead end, unfortunately. 23:41, August 19, 2010 (UTC)
