Archiving

Does anyone want to archive all the sentences served soon? Or do I have to do it myself? ħumanUser talk:Human 13:25, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Big archiving done - David Gerard (talk) 13:34, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
Awesome, thanks, this thing was a pig. ħumanUser talk:Human 13:51, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Renaming for broader usage

The issue was raised here in June 2010.

The Mustelid spake: "What I recommend is changing Admin Abuse to something more general (I think it's just called Abuse Desk on Wikipedia & other wikis) so that the same process can be used to deal with any persistent troublemakers, regardless of whether they've technically abused admin abilities"

And I agree. Shall we rename this page to cover general abuse issues? Or make another one that does? ħumanUser talk:Human 03:53, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

Rename--the last thing we need is another place from which to generate HCM. P-Foster (talk) 03:57, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
Agree. Should just be "Abuse Desk" or "Someones being a cunt" page. Acei9 04:39, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
Agree with Weaseloid. Though I feel we can drop the "desk" and just call the page "RationalWiki:Abuse". "Abuse Desk" is a bit too Wikipedia-esque. Star of David.png Radioactive afikomen Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments. 04:49, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
The actual naming on Wikipedia is "Administrators' Noticeboard" and "Administrators' Noticeboard/Incidents". IMHO I think a page titled 'incidents' or 'user incidents' sounds nice. It avoids the hot button 'abuse' term. Any discussion on a page for reporting abuse is going to be nasty, a discussion on a page for reporting incidents might be more amicable. (BTW, somewhat relevant joke from enWiki: 'if you hear cries of admin abuse, its best to be concerned because it is very likely that an admin is indeed being abused!') Icewedge (talk) 05:14, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
Definitely. It needs to be slanted more positively rather than as it is which implies "come here to bitch and moan like a twat". Scarlet A.pngpathetic 05:54, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
I agree with Icewedge's point. That said, however, the very existence of this page is an open invitation for people to bitch about things (viz MarcusCicero). It might help if we name it something completely irreverent ("Dick Report"?). Star of David.png Radioactive afikomen Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments. 06:54, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
All of you are awesome, and I agree with all of you! ħumanUser talk:Human 07:00, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
Perhaps we could call it the "Naughty Corner".  Lily Inspirate me. 07:12, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
Now we are getting somewhere... is that a Private Eye in-joke? If not, it should be. ħumanUser talk:Human 08:36, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
It's one of those modern parenting things, "do that again and you'll have to stand in the naughty corner" (or some other designated area).  Lily Inspirate me. 09:10, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
I don't know about "Naughty Corner" but definately on the right track. How about "Badass alley"? Acei9 09:18, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
Scumville? The Retard Wasteland? Acei9 09:19, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
I prefer Lily's ideas here to Ace's. Ace's ideas might work well elsewhere, perhaps? ħumanUser talk:Human 09:23, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
I comment in jest, I think Lily has the right idea. When someone says "naughty corner" though I think of that overwarmed and over-ripe nanny thing that can't talk properly. Acei9 09:26, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
+1 for "RationalWiki:Naughty Step" - David Gerard (talk) 11:07, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
How about disputes? - π 11:38, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

Proposed name

  • RationalWiki:Being a dick
  • RationalWiki:User disputes

Either of those okay? I suggest a change soonish - David Gerard (talk) 21:43, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Those are both lame. But yes, we should go ahead with a change a.s.a.p., as there's currently confusion & contradiction between what the page says it is & what it's being used for. ωεαşεζøίɗWeaselly.jpgMethinks it is a Weasel 21:46, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
I liked "Naughty Corner" or, on the same page, "Time Out"... I still have nightmares about sitting in the "Naughty Corner" at sitter's houses... Quaru (talk) 21:48, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
Please for to change the * to # for reference to numbers is easier, I'd propose a third RationalWiki:Bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch C®ackeЯ
I like that too. Either that or Star Chamber. ħumanUser talk:Human 23:19, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
The Loya Jirga should be the Star Chamber. ωεαşεζøίɗWeaselly.jpgMethinks it is a Weasel 23:22, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
Not really - the LJ is more like the council of elders we turn to to resolve intractable disputes. This place is where we try without justice and summarily order executions. ħumanUser talk:Human 00:56, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
I like Assizes too. - π 23:49, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
Since it's now being used to complain about the socially incontinent (Lumenos), I suggest "RationalWiki:Whining about other users". Or "RationalWiki:Complain here if you are a complete tool" - David Gerard (talk) 23:49, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
That second one's not bad, Dave. How about "RationalWiki:Get a fucking grip of yourself, it's only a fucking wiki, who cares?" - DeltaStarSenior SysopSpeciationspeed! 11:17, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
[[RationalWiki:Whinging point]]? 11:22, 29 June 2010 (UTC) SusanG Toast
[[RationalWiki:The Headless Chicken Coop]]? Jack Hughes (talk) 11:50, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
YES! That's the one! 11:58, 29 June 2010 (UTC) SusanG Toast
Jack's got it. The Chicken Coop. I will now relocate. ħumanUser talk:Human 12:19, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
Sweet. Can we call people who complain alot "Egg Layers"? Quaru (talk) 12:25, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
User:Quaru/egglayer Yeah? Quaru (talk) 14:00, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
How about 'Rationalwiki:Authoritarianism Validation Unit'. 86.45.196.164 (talk) 12:23, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
That would be a better name for the Loya Jirga I think. - π 12:30, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
