Where have all the Avas gone?
(Long time asking)

It appears as if removing Warden while someone has an ava out is a Bad Idea, since here are none in the pool right now. Rich Farmbrough, 00:59 20 January 2014 (UTC).
 * As usual I explained badly (or insufficiently). I had an Avatar out at round about the time of your post, it vanished, not in the usual "whoosh" manner.  I assumed it had timed out, and visited the cit to re-summon.  My working hypothesis is that you removed the right while I had the ava, and this expressed the AWOL ava bug, which we are all familiar with.  Of course this may be wrong, if you wish we could experiment, either way it's not a big deal since its a very rare event, it is interesting though. Rich Farmbrough, 16:51 20  January 2014 (UTC).

Re:Hi
Haha, thank you! :-D I never really thought of myself as having "gone away", though I don't think I've done a big edit for ages. Good to know someone still remembers me though. :-)  10:52, January 20, 2014 (UTC)

I heard you go to MIT? Is that true? If you see a tall black guy named Devin, can you tell him "hi"? 16:32, January 20, 2014 (UTC)

RSW Clan Administrator Maturity
Dear ,

Recently, the maturity level of administrators has been called into question by some clanmates. We would like to remind everyone that as an RSW admin, you are a representative of both the clan and the wiki. Therefore, please remember to keep the clan chat a place for everyone to enjoy. We are not trying to be the "fun police." Rather, we want to make sure that everyone in the clan is respected. If you didn't see the recent thread, please reacquaint yourself with the clan chat rules.

With this in mind, there are a few specific behaviors that are troublesome. Clan administrators are meant to be players that other clanmates can trust to go to with issues. Please endeavor to maintain this trust. We would like you to please note the following points.
 * The pattern of joking about power abuse should stop. There should be no perception of power abuse in the clan.
 * Several clan rules now are pattered under the "accepted until someone requests the conversation to end." There have been several cases of users jokingly invoking this rule. Constantly "crying wolf" about this will make it much harder for a clanmate who legitimately wants an offensive conversation to stop to utilize the rule if he/she has seen us joking about it earlier.
 * If you see someone "crying wolf," please discourage the user from doing so.
 * Please do not "cry wolf" yourself.
 * If possible, please leave PM on so that other users can contact you privately if needed. We understand that sometimes you may not wish to do so, but please try to be available whenever possible.
 * Please try to show a little restraint with your language. There's nothing to say that you cannot use profanity, as long as the filter is respected, but some users have used it excessively. Some have also been a little too confrontational.
 * Some things have been said in the clan chat that have been reportable or mutable. Please avoid these. Check over the Rules of RuneScape to make sure that you do not break them, as they take precedence over our rules. A muted administrator is an ineffective administrator.
 * If there is a heated argument or conflict going on (not to be confused with a debate), please try to resolve and mediate it with class rather than exacerbating the issue.

We intend this to be a simple reminder for you to maintain a pleasant decorum in the clan. Thanks for being a part of the clan!

Best, and 03:13, January 21, 2014 (UTC)

Re:RSW Clan Administrator Maturity
Is this about my famous quote "You is ban" also why aren't you replying to my phone texts :( -- 03:31, January 21, 2014 (UTC)

RE:A quick note
Liquid, my comment wasn't intended just for you. It was to pretty much everyone since pretty much everyone complains about the current theme. I understand completely that not everyone (more like no one) is capable of coming up with a theme and figuring out the code to implement it. However, to anyone who has an idea, I urge them to get together with people who know what to do and come up with some examples. 17:23, January 26, 2014 (UTC)

RE:RSW Clan Administrator Maturity
At first I was like "wtf did I do" until I realized you were posting that on the talk page of every admin.... 06:10, January 27, 2014 (UTC)

Thanks Helium. I hope you are well. <3 23:04, February 3, 2014 (UTC)

Re: Edit warring warning
I was trying not to edit war today. Which is actually why I asked for the protection on the disambig, to give everyone a chance to cool down and decide if the page conveyed the information accurately.

With IP83, I did go straight to his talk page immediately after the first undo to xp lamps. It's why I left such a succinct edit summary, because I had every intention of explaining it better on his talk page. After I figured out a better phrasing to convey the information correctly, then I changed it. Then, after a further edit by a third editor, I realised the phrasing was still faulty and so made the distinction between "SoF lamps" and "TH lamps" clearer. I forgot for a while that what is so super-clear and obvious to me is sometimes not so clear to other editors

On dragonbane bolts, I asked Spine to decide which version was better. I didn't intend the page to be protected, and it can probably be undone. I explained the page issue to to the other editor once I realised that he hadn't noticed that I'd only reformatted his information; I got the impression he thought I'd totally reverted it back to the state it was in before his edits.

I have tried asking third parties to step in. I have tried, and tried, and tried. Most of the time they never respond, or they log out of RuneScape immediately after receiving my pm. The only sysop I can consistently rely on to actually respond to a request for help is Ciph, and I know he cannot be called a neutral party when I am involved, so I don't ask him for anything other than page maintenance and anti-vandal issues.

I also know that I struggle with tone in messages. A lot of this ties back to not realising that what is obvious to me might not be so obvious to someone with their brain wired all correctly and stuff. And unless someone is willing to help me with talk page message phrasing, I can't say that I'll always judge it correctly. I am trying to get better, and I tried avoiding talk pages altogether, but that obviously isn't such a good idea.

tl;dr edit warring was not my intention, I forgot that I was seeing solutions that others probably weren't, I did use talk pages, immediately in the case of IP83, a third party has to be willing to help which they often aren't, and I know my tone sucks and it's a mental block that I trying to overcome. 02:07, February 5, 2014 (UTC)


 * Mind me asking why? 15:51, February 11, 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks, and you're right. I should be a nice person, I agree. But that discrepancy is really annoying to me. I hope you can understand (while not condoning it) :P 11:20, February 13, 2014 (UTC)

Oh, when I'm on my literal deathbed, I'll be sure to vandalize the main page so everybody knows. 07:26, June 26, 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for leaving a note, by the way; I was worried I was going to end up without a talk page archive for 2014. That would have been sad. 07:31, June 26, 2014 (UTC)
