That Awesomeownage guy
He attacked me on another wiki here. Is this acceptable or not? Ever since I got forumadmin'd, I've been treated like shit for doing my job :(. 15:20, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

I see that you locked my thread, because the discussion was over, that's fine, but could you fix the red link?

Protect site.
We were hit by CS, only this time he ran his bot. Uberfuzzy protected the site. =\ 13:10, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, we were hit again, this time by a vandal bot. I logged on yesterday for the first time that day, as it was my b-day and was busy, and began reading my messages and looking for updates to the Yew Grove. I then checked the recent changes and there were a string of articles called "Shit#####", the ##### being an integer that increased in value my 1 which would then create a new article over. The bot also appeared to be targeting random mainspace articles as well, so as I cannot delete articles, no sysops powers, I began to revert the vandal to the other articles. During this time I logged on to Runescape and contacted any sysops that were logged on at the time, as I have most added to my friends list, in such this case. Kytti Khat was on so I told her in a rather quick manner, "Mass Vandal<need help" and she logged off and came over to help. When I finished talking with her there were 3 other accounts created that were being used, so as his others were blocked he made more and applied the bot to them. I wrote on Kytti Khat's talk page and told her to issue a site block, which on was issued, but not by her, by Uberfuzzy. I later got a message from Kytti saying she does not know how to issue a site block, which only means that your proposed policy needs to become a policy soon if we are being attacked by vandal bots. On the lighter side, I was really the only one at that time who appeared to be on and active, which leads me to believe he might try to activate his bot at night in most cases. It's gonna suck if I am always logged on a night for a majority, and can't edit during my on time due to a site protection, or in this case as being the first to respond, issue the protection. Anyways, the protection allowed Kytti and Uberfuzzy to remove most of the vandalism. I think Uberfuzzy made himself a Vandal removing bot, as he changed his account membership to include bots and quickly removed most of the hit pages. That is the just, ask away if you have any more questions. 18:30, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

IOTM Images
Yeah, those images are not being used in mainspace, articles, but they being used for a proposal in the Yew Grove in a possible Image of the Month. The links are now empty... 22:42, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

What I missed
It looks like I missed a lot of happenings here. I think I should write me an anti-vandal bot.(This is where the MediaWiki/Wikia API comes in handy). - 23:29, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Progress on the bot: I just started, I was going to try out a different bot framework, but I decided I best go with what I have used and know. I updated my copy of the runescape_family.py file(It basically holds all of the settings the bot framework needs to know about the wiki) and I made it where it can be used on every other language of RSWiki as long as the name-spaces are translated. My bot is able to login now. I am still thinking of how it will work. I may need to have my bot given roll-back, although I am not sure and if I couldn't I am sure I could work around it, since I have never tried roll-back with a bot. The bot should read the list of all contributions(within last 24 hours) by the offender and use roll-back except with a custom edit summary and also mark the vandal's edits as bot edits to hide them(I think I can but I haven't tried I know roll-back on Wikipedia can supposedly). To stop the bot we would use an emergency stop button, which would ban the bot for the shortest time possible, which would turn off the bot automatically. Sounds like I have a plan. =D Now hopefully I can write it. - 01:00, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks, now I am thinking maybe a script or writing/finding a wiki extension would be better. I would just need to get my slightly started wiki install done. Do you have a tool that allows you to mass rollback a user's edits? Such a tool would be great for this I think and would not be dependant on any bot or anything like that, the only issue would be getting Wikia to install it and I am sure they would look into it. - 02:05, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * From what I have seen in the Wikia source code I didn't see one and there is none in the MediaWiki extensions repository. Right now I am building up a Wikia wiki on my computer by guess work, fun though. :D Then I can start learning how to write extensions. - 02:46, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * It would be a fun project and will be writing an extension, but I am going to ask our resident Wikia Tech Staff member about that an extension like that. - 03:44, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Why I changed it
I changed him to it on Guthix because people possibly get confused when they keep switching from it to him. Letmego50 23:15, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Harsh?
Hello there. I have been recently monitoring the recent changes and have noticed all the users you have been blocking. Now, this may be just my opinion, but I think you are being to harsh. A fine example is IP adress 75.100.30.63, who made an edit on Exchange:Dark cavalier. I saw the edit, and at first glance it looks like vandalism, that is, if you only glance. Has it come to your mind that maybe 75.100.30.63 was having connection problems, and did not intentionally do it? Or possibly more likley it was a rather newer one and wasn't sure how do correctly update an exchange price? You must assume good faith more often. Like Exchange:Green d'hide body, the IP made a small mistake in the price and put 4588 instead of 4558. A common mistake the human mind makes, and, would you have blocked the user just for that? I'm not saying you would, but you must assume good faith, unless it was obvious vandalism of course. Happy editing. -- 23:45, 5 February 2009 (UTC)


 * It is true they changed 28k to 300k, but notice how close 30k is to 28k, and how possible it is to add an extra zero an accident. I don't think that's bad enough to earn a block, at all. If the IP went around changing multiple prices dramaticly, that would be a block. BUt I just don't think it was right to block the IP. -- 23:51, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

RE:HTML
Thanks for informing me, i've tried to fix all that I can, however some of the 'unclosed' endings would mess up the page if i tried to close. Krazyballa talk! 03:22, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Vandal bot?
Aww, did I miss out on all the fun? I always said this was going to happen sooner or later. :P 04:01, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * When I saw the recent changes, I thought the same happened with Ben's bot (Do you know who Ben is?), in which there was a fault in the programming and it went around tagging the wrong pages with image templates. 04:15, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Somehow I don't think that All the administrators at wikia are ÐÜMB. is quite the same as an image template. =P -- 04:17, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I only saw the reverts. :P 04:20, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

I have a project for when we switch over to the new parser. I will get to work on it.

List of pages that need fixing c:wikia:Forum:Switching_to_the_new_parser Help:Switching_to_the_new_parser

We switch March 3rd by the way. I will try to keep watch for the vandal.(Gets out pitchforks, torches, and founds the Minute Rollbackers Guild, like that idea?) - 21:24, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Wow: 16:34 	User:Catcrewser/Litterbox (diff; hist) . . (+495,150) . . Catcrewser (Talk | contribs) (Sorry for the massive size, but this is a big project)
 * 4076 pages to fix by March 3rd. This will get me a high edit count. - 21:36, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, on a bright note I am fixing every broken user signature on the wiki. Not making (x)html compliant, just making it work correctly so closer to compliant at least. Although the changing of signatures, user pages, and user talk might be an issue to some. I am not changing the look or making the code more complex. -  22:03, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

(Insert decent title here.)
I'm not fighting to get my post back or anything, but I have a question that I'd like to have answered: what was so bad about my post that it made you have to delete it? I was not advising the maker of the thread to intentionally attack anyone; rather, I was advising him to be ready for an attack once he dumped his girlfriend for that other girl. What's so bad about that? Vhosythe42 talk 21:08, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

WOW you got all supports great job!!! Plus I'd like to thank you for doing everything you could for me in the wikia :) 01:38, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Ip Block?
I saw you block that other IP a minute ago so I wanted to show you 2 other ones that were doing the same a few minutes before this. User:71.112.209.30 Contribs and User:121.223.64.237 Contribs.

No problem, just trying to help out the wiki. And if I see more vandalism I will do that. ≈  Dbzken (Talk) (Contribs)(Edits) ≈ 04:18, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Congrats!
Hey man congrats on your 3,300th edit! You got it when you were blocking the IPs I think. Good luck on your 3,400th! ≈  Dbzken (Talk) (Contribs)<font color="White">(Edits) ≈ 04:26, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
