Re
Maybe "hate" was a bad word. I guess I dislike it because a signature is what a user identifies themself as, and I think they should be able to identify themselves however they wish. I understand not allowing >2 images, because that may affect others with slow computers. But if Ajr wants to use '-', why not? I mean, when I first saw the sig, I said "Hmm? who is this '-' person?" I commenced to hover over his signature, find out it was him, and then I knew every time I saw his signature that it was he who was signing. I don't know about others, but it's not a problem for me. If it links to the userpage without any mystery/misleading links, and it is in no way intentionally trying to hide the identity of who posted it, I think it's fine. As many have said in discussions about the policy, if you really want to know who posted something, click the signature. --LOL MYSTERY SIG 21:17, November 16, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Don't delete what you don't understand
I just analysed them a bunch and wrote a miniessay on them, but then I noticed that joey got his numbers wrong in the opening paragraph. Loop repeats 150 times, Repeat 99 and Multi 1399. Thus Repeat is more server expensive and repeats less times than Loop.

If repeat were to be increased, I'm not sure how it would affect what resources it would use, so I don't think its wise. Thus repeat isn't really that useful, and repeat and multi should be interchangeable. Loop, as he said, is a lot less server intensive and should stay.

Thus a delete/merge with multi and repeat is okay, as long as all transclusions are updated. Loop should stay, and in case you wondered for loop is completely different so should also stay. 15:32, December 11, 2010 (UTC)

Logging project
Hi. I just started a project, and i'd like to ask you to join. As you seemed to like the idea of having drop logs for all monsters on the thread proposing this, i thought you probably also want to help. Why I created this project is because the proposal only has opposes so far, so i don't really think it will pass(unless the others change their mind) but i am already starting the logging, and if you want to join, please do so. 23:18, December 17, 2010 (UTC)

What picture did you put on there? I'd like to know

Oh i know what you're saying now. I uploaded the same picture twice on accident. I guess thanks anyways. (Decided I'd try and do it myself. Didn't know administrators did it for me O.o)

By the way, I'm about to upload an HD picture so let me know if you're going to post it on that page or if I am. Thanks

I believe i've messed up. Sorry for the inconveniences, but i'm new to editing things on Rune-Wiki. It would be a huge favor if you could please fix it.

alrighty, thanks :D

I was digging in my files one day cleaning my computer and i found this image from my old rsc/rs2 account/ There you have it

and
I am trying to duplicate the random skill logo effect which appears on the main page on this wiki on a wiki I'm working on. I saw that you did some work on these templates, so I have a question. Do you know why it is that these pictures update on the main page when I wait about 15 seconds and then click the refresh button? It's as if clicking refresh purges the page. When I duplicated this on my wiki, everything works fine except that the images that I used take a very long time to change. The only quick way I can get them to refresh is by manually making the page purge. Please help if you can. Thanks. 01:12, January 19, 2011 (UTC)

The policy on unblocks
Hey, is there a link to a comprehensive guide on how a blockee, sysop and the community should react and what actions they should take should someone want an unblock?

Like, does the "Blockee" just place the unblock template on their page, which adds the category, then a sysop makes a decision?

I'm just curious, I may have a decent proposal for the YG if the unblocking system works the way I think it works.

Thanks, 22:51, January 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * So, you're telling me that if someone finds themselves blocked, they can't refute their own block? Especially if we are talking about infinite/long term blocks? 08:27, January 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * Just curious, I was thinking of making some sort of RfU proposal, where specific accounts, under their own request, would be able to try and refute their block. This idea came from the recent block thread and it just seems rather unfair that people don't get given a second chance. 08:25, January 28, 2011 (UTC)

Copyright status of RuneScape videos on YouTube
Hi Psycho,

I was wondering whether or not RuneScape videos on YouTube (like the ones you blocked Parsonsda for copying) could even be copyrighted. I'm not exactly versed in copyright law, so forgive me if I go off on a tangent. The first thing I think we should consider is fair use. The purpose and character is a bit muddled because of the commercial nature of Wikia, but it could also be said that its purpose was enrichment, as Parsons has no reason to upload the clips for the purpose of profitability. The nature of the copied work is that it's a clip of RuneScape, and Jagex can claim any and all clips of RuneScape. The substantiality and amount is approximately 9 seconds per clip, out of three videos which ranged from one to three minutes. I don't see any effect on the work's value, either.

The other thing to consider is that the uploader of the YouTube videos have no rights over the clips, just as the RuneScape Wiki has no rights over images that are used elsewhere. Jagex holds all copyrights on any pictures (moving or not) of RuneScape, so we can't really assume that the clip is copyrighted by the uploader.

I'm not sure if you blocked Parsonsda for the actual infringement, or for somehow breaking RS:IMP. While it does say "Nearly all images uploaded to the Wiki should be taken by the uploader themselves in the RuneScape game client", there are at least four other files on the wiki that are taken from YouTube videos, without any disastrous consequences. 19:51, May 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * Even if Youtube videos are copyrightable, the RuneScape ones very likely are not. The amount of work put into them is not a factor, as Jagex has shown in shutting down numerous videos. I think it's a bit of a stretch to consider YouTube a fansite, especially considering the clips we already have "stolen" from them. There are enough overt uses of Youtube videos that blocking Parsons for doing the exact same thing seems a bit much. 20:20, May 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * If I'm not mistaken, Parsons got permission for at least one of the videos. My point is not that the rule was not there, but that it had become so common to use animations and pictures from YouTube that no one, especially Parsonsda, took issue with it. I'm not trying to defend him, I'm simply saying that such a long block for such a commonplace occurrence seems unusual. 21:12, May 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * I do believe when he said "Castle Wars" he meant the player Castle Wars, who uploaded the third video. I have no idea how many animations we have from YouTube, but I thought of three off the top of my head, plus a couple of stills. I imagine there are many more than that. 21:32, May 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * My understanding was that Parsonsda talked to him ingame. He showed me this picture. 23:44, May 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * He says that his "friend" sent him the clips on his school e-mail which apparently he...can't access for two weeks. Sounds unlikely to pan out and another "my cousin at Jagex" type thing, but we'll see. If he's lying about the whole thing I have no problem seeing him banned for a while. But you must by now realize that his attention span doesn't quite reach more than a year. 00:11, May 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * Neither do I. 00:17, May 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * Looks like we got retroactive permission from the uploader of video one, and the uploader of video two, while being un-messageable on YouTube, seems to have an account on the wiki. What do you make of this? 19:15, May 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * I thought that Omustardo was Castle Wars, or at least took the video of him. The Daemonheim video was the one created by a user on the wiki. The larger issue is that I don't think your logic in blocking him was sound: the idea of equating YouTube to a fansite is a bit outrageous, especially considering that it was the status quo for the past year to allow them. 21:52, May 14, 2011 (UTC)

The popularity of the block is not what I'm worried about - But you have to realize that the agreement was reached more than a year ago, and it is very unclear whether or not what Parsons did even violated the images and media policy. I don't like Parsons any more than the next guy and he's been quite rude to me at times, but we can't just look for an out to block someone. As for what Liquid said, you can hardly use that as reasoning to block someone, even if he did agree to it. It's an incredibly weak argument and I very, very much doubt that anyone at all would support a six month block for "not accepting help". 23:40, May 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * I really have no idea. I assumed that the Parsonsda block thread from last April-May was mostly about the youtube videos, but upon further review that doesn't seem to be the case. Perhaps we should have a thread to decide if we allow youtube clips? That still leaves the issue of Parsons's block, of which we can't use a later consensus as grounds to keep. 01:20, May 15, 2011 (UTC)
