User talk:Angela/Archive

Hi angela. We're apparently supposed to go to you with any problems regarding sidebar ads that are innapropiate to our wiki. I'll try to convey the frequency and blatantness of these ads by telling you that i originally copied down the urls to a text file but was saved the trouble of having to open it because the exact ads are to my right as i write this message to you! This makes it the (approximately) tenth time i have seen these ads this evening. Thanks for any help you can provide!Dark0805 03:16, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Runescapefastmoney.info-violates the rules and regulations of Runescape the game.
 * Powergoldguides.com-Same.
 * Though its not really bad there was also a site advertising the selling of Maple Story(rival MMO) gold peices.


 * I'll get those blocked as soon as possible. I thought we'd blocked the word gold from ads completely, so I'm surprised that one slipped through. Thanks for reporting this. Have you tried the new [?useskin=slate slate] and [?useskin=smoke smoke] skins - they only have one ad, which you might find less annoying. Angela talk 03:44, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh, sorry if i sounded annoyed, really i don't care about it, i find them mildly ammusing. But the general consensus appears to be that they discredit the wiki so i'm trying to help in any way i can. But thanks for taking care of it!Dark0805 03:56, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
 * These two are blocked (not the maple one since I've not found the URL for that yet). "Gold" is only blocked from the text, not the URL, and sometimes people use g0ld to avoid filters like this. Angela talk 09:21, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

More ads
Hi Angela, I've noticed two more RuneScape gold advertisements recently. I think the reason they slipped through the filter was because they used the words "money" and "GP" instead. Here's the ads:

Title: RuneeScape Money Description: RS2 Money is Easy To Make. Too Bad I Know The Secret And You Don't! URL: runescapefastmoney.info

Title: Make Billions of GP Description: Using our Autobot program, you can make Billions of RS GP easily! URL: www.powergoldguildes.com

Thanks, Oddlyoko talk 07:03, 21 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Those are the ones reported above and are now blocked. Angela talk 09:21, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Banning User:Dark Bow
Should we ban Dark Bow? He was that Buck Nell guy who vandaled some forum pages a few weeks ago. Thanks. 07:36, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
 * To be clear, he has not vandalised under User:Dark Bow yet. Oddlyoko talk 07:56, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Probably, but that's up to the admins on this wiki. He is using the same IP as two usernames that are already blocked. Angela talk 09:21, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
 * It's quite possible, but it's questioned that Total Rune maybe was behind Buck Nell. The King of Fakes 11:36, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Bad ad's
Found one Ad that breaches the RuneScape Rules.

Runescape2 accounts We have a huge section that you are looking for, get one today! Surprisingly from www.eBay.com Blankothe3rd


 * Was there a particular link on this? I need something more specific than "ebay.com" to block since the majority of ebay ads are ok. Angela talk 11:23, 30 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Sadly, it only said eBay.com, although I'm going to refresh my screen to search for this ad. The King of Fakes 11:26, 30 June 2007 (UTC)


 * I found it, look at the far right where it says Runescape2 accounts.

Blankothe3rd

Here's another Gold buying website: Tesfan 02:47, 2 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I'll get that one blocked today. Angela (talk) 09:35, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Runescape Wikia Forums Errors
Just recently (within the last 2 or 3 hours I think), I've noticed that the Runescape Wikia Forums (http://runescape.wikia.com/forum/) have started giving errors from functions.php at the top of the page. The lines output are: I don't know if it's something that is being worked on, but I thought I'd let you know just in case it's not, and you weren't aware of it. 13:00, 3 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes, they do appear to be working normally otherwise, except that the font is a little larger than normal. It is reporting the processing time, the number of queries, etc, at the bottom of the page too, but I don't remember if that was there before. 13:17, 3 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Looks like it's fixed now. Thanks. 13:31, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

More badads
Unfortunately, some more bad ads have slipped through the filter. Here is what it says:

''Buy RuneeScape Money

<10 Mins Delivery, Cheapest Price Account, Party Hat, Quest in Gogoer

www.Rs2City.com''

Perhaps the word RuneeScape slipped through the filter, and it should be removed because it breaches one of fifteen game rules of RuneScape. Thanks. 09:25, 12 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Oh, and you don't have to be too specific about this site, I clicked on it and all that comes up are sales of RuneScape gold. 09:26, 12 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I think it slipped through the filter because the ad text doesn't contain the word gold. Do you know if was a Google ad or from one of the other providers? We've blocked it from Google, but if it shows up again, please look at the page source to see where it is from. Letting me know the type (text or image) and size of the ad would help us work out where it was from. Angela (talk) 10:52, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
