Re:I REALLY need your help
You can't, just follow the rules, comment only when necessary, and above all else remain calm no matter what. Trust me, no matter what you do you'll always have enemies trying to destroy you, especially as a counter vandal. I've had those who've slandered me on multiple wikis, harrassed me in game on multiple accounts, and just generally tried to do anything else they could think of to make me miserable. The one advantage I have is that I've always controlled my temper. Remember, temperment is the difference between a great sysop and getting desysoped on the yew grove.-- 03:37, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Most recent CVU report
Yeah, at first I wasn't going to report it to CVU. However, after doing a bit of research on the item, I discovered that nothing drops dragon platebodies—they're player-made. As such, it was most likely meant to be misleading information, classifying it as vandalism. I figured it would be better to report it to CVU than ignore it; no harm actually comes to a user by being reported. The harm only comes if they are actioned. ;) 23:55, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Vandals

Signatures
I've noticed that many signatures on the RuneScape Wiki contain improper HTML that will display incorrectly in many newer browsers. For example, most signatures contain the &lt;font&gt; tag, which has been deprecated by W3C—in other words, it no longer exists. Is it okay for me to go around fixing the syntax of signatures, provided I do not change the actual appearance of each? 02:42, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Replying
Hey there, Soldier.

I am fine. You forgot the 's' in the question you asked me.

Signatures
I've started going around and letting people know if their signatures contain mistakes and then giving them "repaired" code snippets on their talk pages. I figured I'd get started with people I already know so I can figure out what works and what doesn't. Let me know what you think:

I also noticed that you had your sysop crown positioned using &lt;sup&gt;. Were you attempting to get it next to your name? If so, here's another code snippet that will achieve that more accurately, and a before/after comparison:

Please let me know what you think:
 * How helpful are the suggestions?
 * Which snippet do you end up using, if either?
 * Do you just find the suggestions a waste of your time and more or less obnoxious?
 * Would you rather that a team of coders went around and made the "behind-the-scenes" updates to your signature without first consulting you (but still informing you that they had made changes)?

Thanks,

Great, I'm glad you didn't mind the suggestions. The reason for me going around asking people to change their signatures is that many tags often used for formatting, such as &lt;font&gt;, have been deprecated by W3C.

You said the relative positioning trick doesn't work on Safari... I suspected at least one browser wouldn't support it. Does this one work?

As for the team of coders modifying signatures, that's actually something I'm proposing, along with a new set of guidelines for signatures. Please feel free to review the proposed changes. 21:46, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
