Signatures
Hey dude, it looks like you made somebody else a new signature so can you do the same to me? This is my current one and i have requested a new one. Thanks!

It's already done! Yay =)

Your Signature.
Dear rswfan, I have noticed that your new signature is quite tall, and we usually do not allow such large signatures. After speaking with one of our sysops, I was told that I need to leave a message asking you to change it to something smaller, as it is leaving a lot of empty space where it is used. Thank you. 15:45, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

RE:
Why did you create RuneScape:Signatures/Requested_sigs_completedsignaturerequests? We already have archives for this sort of thing. 09:22, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

chia nom
Why are you nomming him when 1- You didn't ask him if he wants to be one and 2-we don't need another crat right now?--Degenret01 08:09, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, now its opened I don't think you can withdraw it, he has to. I was just wondering if you were aware that we only elect a crat when we need one, we only need a couple really because of what they do.--Degenret01 08:22, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

RE: Congratulations!
Thanks for the award! -- 17:16, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

RE: Color change
Heh, glad you like it. -- 17:16, September 18, 2009 (UTC)

Cape of Achievement
Is there any chance, with the Cape of Legends, you could get an image of it bigger? It looks a bit stupidly small on the article (: I'd do but i've yet to complete the quest :P 16:02, September 23, 2009 (UTC) 21:51, September 19, 2009 (UTC)

Oh thank god!
I thought you were going to complain about me uploading these images, I've just finsihed my 6th (i think) one today, i'm going to try get each icon complete by tonight. Oh and also you replied so quickly I uploaded that 5 minutes ago. I opnned up my objectives to get the image of the icon, then I used gimp to add trasparenct and crop it User:XoPp has a GREAT tutorial on how to add transparency, he's the one who showed me how to do it, well his user page did, I only started doing stuff like this 2 weeks ago 17:33, September 20, 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, Im not good at explaining things P.S: You could use photoshop too 18:22, September 20, 2009 (UTC)

Outline?
I see you added an outline here: Now, it is a nice image, looks nicer than before, but I think the Item_detail images are supposed to directly be from the GE Database? Like, to show their database image... Correct me if I'm wrong though. Do you plan on adding outlines to every single item_detail image? That would seem like a project to me... I'm not saying it looks bad, I actually like it, it's just that I thought Item_detail images are supposed to be GE images and that only. 22:23, September 21, 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't know what to say . Are we gonna have half-outlined, half-not?

RE: Recent chat
Which page is that on? Recent Changes and page histories already have those block links next to usernames if you have blocking rights. -- 22:48, September 21, 2009 (UTC)

Request for Speedy Delete
Unfortunately, I can't follow though with the one delete request. File:Woodcutting cape.gif has too many links to it, therefore it's removal would create multi-redlinks. Thanks though. 03:46, September 25, 2009 (UTC)

Fmod user boxes
I've deleted them because there is no way to verify it on the wiki so it encourages impersonation. Especially with the invited template it would be impossible to prove, you have to be 13 to be invited because Jagex requires you to register your contact details and it's illegal for anyone under the age of 13 to provide contact details on the internet. I know for a fact you are not 13 as per an earlier revision of your user page. 16:24, September 27, 2009 (UTC)

Vandal watch
I see you've started using my vandal watch script. It is currently only half-working, and I will be fixing numerous bugs over the next few days. It does not modify the way the Recent Changes page works, rather it can create a copy that works differently on any given page (my Sandbox for example). This ensures that if you would like to use the original Recent Changes page, you can. If you would like to use the script on a different page, you can look at the code in my sandbox to see how.

I also notice that you have copied my current version of the script to yours. Since I will be updating mine later, yours may not have all the bug fixes in it (but it also will continue to work while I am experimenting with mine). If you notice any problems with the script, don't hesitate to point them out!

Outline
How do you add an outline to an image, such as File:Ss detail.PNG? -- 22:01, September 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * The link doesn't work =\ -- 14:45, September 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. -- 15:34, September 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Lol, this signature's fine. -- 15:42, September 28, 2009 (UTC)

UOTM
Cheers for ya vote Rswfan! 11:29, October 3, 2009 (UTC)
 * I hope so ^^. 12:24, October 3, 2009 (UTC)

Re: your 03-Oct-2009 request on my talk page
Is this something like what you were looking for? 16:27, October 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't have the original font, i tried tracking that down when the logo was slightly revamped in the past and was unable to find the font. I'm not sure what your purpose is, but it sounds like you need three (3) separate images (as well as proper "wiki-fication" to allow for the spacing). To create the 3 images i recommend you start from scratch with a font that is similar. Note, however, I do believe it is proper to capitalise the "S" in RuneScape as per the style guide.  17:11, October 6, 2009 (UTC)

RE: A message from officer rswfan
I assume that I wouldn't be arrested until 2010, I would be imprisoned until 2010. The arrest is just the apprehension, so if I am to be arrested until 2010, that would be quite a slow imprisonment process.

And what am I accused of? I am innocent, I tell ye! 03:08, October 20, 2009 (UTC)
 * My aimless bluff worked, then. :) 23:43, October 20, 2009 (UTC)

GEMW
When updating the GEMW prices, don't put any decimals or commas. Other than that, you're fine. -- 13:56, October 24, 2009 (UTC)
 * The template automatically puts commas in for you. If you need any help, see Template:GEPriceUpdateGuide. -- 17:01, October 24, 2009 (UTC)

Response to your guestbook post
Say what? I'm sorry, I'm just confised. -- 21:32, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

Cleanup of "show off your artwork" thread
I cleaned up your posts on the forum thread you named "show off your artwork". Keep in mind that here we are not restricted to the 2k character limit that the RSOF has, so you don't need to reserve a whole bunch of subsequent posts. Say your point and display as much or as little as you feel is necessary.

I disagree with some of the editing that takes place on the forums, as I think it is a little excessive and overly aggressive, but there is a role to play here for moderators to keep things under control. That is why I edited this thread, mainly as a way to focus the thread and let folks know what the thing is about. I haven't touched editorial content in this case, and you can modify your own postings as you see fit. --Robert Horning 16:32, November 1, 2009 (UTC)

-ahem-
I would hope that you would know this by now since there has been a global announcement prohibiting backseat moderating since March, but apparently not. Posting on a thread just to say you think it should be locked is 100% WBMing and is not allowed at all. Considering you're trying to become a sysop that definitely isn't something you should be doing right now. 16:49, November 1, 2009 (UTC)
 * Up to you. 17:09, November 1, 2009 (UTC)
 * Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and you shouldn't expect someone else to change their opinions for you. If you want to show people that you've changed, let your actions reflect it. 17:31, November 1, 2009 (UTC)

Excuse me, but...
Hey, Rswfan, I was looking around when, I notice you created this page. I would like to let you know that we are working to do away with that now, and also that we are still working on Issue 7. The link to the current article is Here. Also, we are adopting a new format, which includes:


 * 1) The Current article will always be displayed on RuneScape:Wiki Post.
 * 2) The past issues will remain the way they were released, meaning that the rest of the issues will be placed on subpages such as this one or these. Just a reminder. G'day! -- 15:51, November 3, 2009 (UTC)

RFA Question
Hello, Rswfan. In your RFA, I asked you in the aditional questions section "Why do you want to become an admin." Please answer this question on my talk or on the page itself, but it will end up there, none the less. 10:37, November 6, 2009 (UTC)

RE: Congratulations!
Thanks, but the more people tell me to archive my talk, the more rebellious and procrastinatory I feel. :P 22:05, November 7, 2009 (UTC)

RE: Newsletter
Hello, I'll let you know when I'm able to create an account for you. I'm still working on a better account creation/approval system that needs to get done before more newsletters are created. -- 00:57, November 9, 2009 (UTC)

RE: Bot thingy
Are you still wanting to create it yourself? I can give you some tips and pointers, however you'll need to first install PHP and go through a PHP tutorial to get familiar with the language. PHP can be installed as part of a web server package for Windows, such as XAMPP or EasyPHP. There are numerous tutorials on Google, such as this one.

As I mentioned in chat there are some other alternatives, such as AutoWikiBrowser or the pywikipedia framework, but I'm not sure if it'll fit the bill for your needs since I have little experience with those. I can possibly help make it, however it will take awhile before I can get to it and as I mentioned in chat, it'll be difficult for you to run it if you aren't familiar with running PHP CLI scripts and debugging any issues. -- 22:25, November 10, 2009 (UTC)


 * That's too bad . I may be able to get around to it at some point in the future, but not sure when.  I also discovered that Special:WantedPages, which this bot would rely on, is not available via the MediaWiki API (bug 14869).  So getting the list of redlinks requires some HTML scraping.  -- 04:42, November 12, 2009 (UTC)
