[edit] Doxxing Wikipedia Editors

You know who's come up on this? Reason I ask is because I am a WP editor[wp] who has his hands in Anita and Tropes vs. Women articles. Zero (talk - contributions) 20:40, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

Sent you an email. Typhoon (talk) 20:51, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

[edit] Before you ask

Some troll from Wikipedia followed me here after it was broadcast all over reddit. His MO is to revert any edit I've made that he can. Fuzzy cat potato already found one and I linked to the still fairly recent sock puppet case on this tool. I hope it is not an issue that I blocked him for a custom period of time. I tried to do so in the manner of other block lengths at least.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 10:03, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

You won't get into trouble for blocking vandals. And regarding block lengths, it's standard to make it last from few days to few months. The majority of vandals don't return when their block ends, so indefinite blocks aren't necessary. Typhoon (talk) 13:39, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
So 8 digits of pi in seconds is too much?—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 18:18, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
Maybe for a random vandal, but since this one crawled from wikipedia and is stalking you I think the block length is just right. Typhoon (talk) 18:22, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
How many more digits of pi can we use?—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 19:26, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
That depends on how obsessive the vandal is. But we don't ban permanently, unless the jerk did something horrible like doxxing or posting illegal content. Typhoon (talk) 19:39, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
Well he did follow me from Wikipedia where he is the easiest to spot and came to rational wiki to do the exact same shit. Sounds pretty obsessive. Maybe he should buy me dinner first next time.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 10:26, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

Tangent while I'm here though. What do you think a good use for this would be? A friend gave it to me to upload here.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 10:28, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

[edit] Opening a new section

I don't feel like opening a new section. Does he still seem sane enough for you?—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 08:08, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

Seeing that he just unnironically used the word 'cuck'. It's obvious at this point that he's trolling. Typhoon (talk) 08:10, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
Yes but I mean is he still sane.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 08:13, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
Also is this too big?—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 08:15, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
It's just the right size, IMHO. And no, at this point he could be replaced by a bot that randomly copypastes GG talking points. Which means he's right now failing the Turing test. Typhoon (talk) 08:21, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
When will he be ripe for coopening?—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 08:23, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
When he does more than just bitch on one talkpage about cuckolding. Right now he's just releasing whining noises. Typhoon (talk) 08:29, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
But now he's being really bad at reading.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 08:54, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
Then everyone should stop responding. He'll just spam more links to Ralph and ignore everything anyone says. Don't waste your time talking with someone who's a True Believer™. Typhoon (talk) 09:01, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
Why was he demoted when he was an obvious mismatch for this site though?—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 09:02, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
I can't believe you of all people asked that question. Peace. AgingHippie (talk) 13:37, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

[edit] RE: Surreal feeling

What about me or my name causes that? Do we know each other from somewhere? --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 17:14, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

Oh, I didn't recognize you. "Typhoon" isn't a very distintive username, but I guess that's to your advantage. Ignore the two on my talk page; they've been at each other for nearly two years now. I only enter the fray at the right opportunities, but the other two are at it 24/7, and they're apparently watching a talk page that's barely updated. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 19:14, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

[edit] Since you were an ED user, I owe you a heads-up

This following is an Email I received from Vordrak / Matthew Hopkins. He asked me for information on you.

Subject: Wikipedia Gamaliel and RationalWiki
Date: Thu, 10 Dec 2015 15:17:10
Sender: "Matthew Hopkins" <redacted>
From: "Matthew Hopkins" <redacted>
To: <redacted> 

Hi,

Two things. Firstly Gamaliel is now an ArbCom member, despite antics such as banning me for my articles on the Paedophiles of Wikipedia and Mark Bernstein. Methinks he warrants fresh media coverage.

Secondly, I am planning some coverage of RationalWiki. To save time, I don't suppose you have any details for RW GooniePunk and / or Typhoon?

Kind regards,


Sam Smith

This likely has something to do with your revisions to the Gamergate article. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 01:49, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

Oh man, I was totally right that this guy is pissed. What do you wanna do, Typhoon?Keter (talk) 02:57, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
I'll just continue drinking Collingwood's tears of impotent rage. Typhoon (talk) 07:53, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

[edit] Feminism article

Why did you delete more than 35 KB from the article???--Arisboch ☞✍☜☞✉☜ ∈)☼(∋ 14:33, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

My mistake. I only meant to fix the source for the quote, but for some reason most of the text in the edit box didn't load, and I hit save without previewing first. Typhoon (talk) 14:43, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

[edit] Were you seriously edit-warring an editor over where she wants her comment to be in a thread?

Dude, step outside for a while. Enjoy the sunshine, or the rain, or the snow. Go see Star Wars, or go to the library and find a good book to read. Any other use of your time but that. Peace. AgingHippie (talk) 19:28, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

Eh, to move that comment there was apparently FCP's idea. Or was FCP wrong to move it there? If so, then I'll leave it. Typhoon (talk) 19:30, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

[edit] Warring

Look, how about you leave me alone, and I'll return the favor? This wiki has no dearth of greatly annoying edit-warring and personality clashes. It doesn't need any more and I'd rather not be a party to it.---Mona- (talk) 20:27, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

[edit] Adding Aneris' name to one of our articles

This feels spiteful and pointless, except to aggravate them. αδελφός ΓυζζγςατΡοτατο Moderator (talk/stalk) 23:23, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

I've actually asked if it's OK to add it to it. Since it it didn't get immediately reverted, not even by Aneris himself, I assumed it's fine. After all, no one complained about being "spiteful and pointless" when we created entire articles on conservapedia members, some of which also had accounts on RW (Rob Smith, is a good example). Just like Rob is a conservapedia member, so is Aneris. And neither of them are minor members, Aneris is infamous in th atheist community.Typhoon (talk) 09:02, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

[edit] You're nominated!

You've got the chance for another shot at becoming a mod (a modshot?) in the upcoming by-election. ScepticWombat (talk) 05:56, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
