Old userpage stuff

Fun Facts

 * On CP, I'm one of the users with the most blocks. (Guess how many of those blocks were actually justified...)
 * On RW, I usually hang out on WIGO.
 * Now also on aSK - let's see how that works out.
 * I love fiddling with templates, and DPL is cool in my book, too.
 * Politics are not my thing, and I stay out of most policy issues.
 * I have the odd tendency to compile ridiculously long tables, especially when it comes to analyzing CP statistics.

The CP Commandments (Honest Version)
(This is a work in progress. I wanted to do this for a long time, but procrastination is a bitch.)


 * 1) Do not copy.
 * Exceptions:
 * Copying from public domain sources is cool, no matter how useless the result is.
 * Copying from GFDL projects is cool as long as you claim you're the original author.
 * Copying from copyrighted sources is cool as long as you claim you're the original author.
 * Copying from copyrighted sources is cool, period. You can just claim Fair Use.
 * Copying from copyrighted sources is cool if you're a sysop. If you're still called out, throw a dramatic fit.
 * 1) Everything you post must be true and verifiable.
 * Exceptions:
 * Wild accusations against liberals are okay. Even when there are sources who prove you wrong.
 * Wrong or unverifiable claims that back the conservative view are okay.
 * 1) Always cite and give credit to your sources.
 * Exceptions:
 * If it bashes liberals, it doesn't need a source.
 * If the one making a claim is a sysop, it doesn't need a source.
 * Related: Never ask for a source. Instead, it is YOUR duty to find one that proves or disproves the claim.
 * Also, never use the "fact" template. Its use shows that you're pushing an agenda.
 * 1) Sources should be authoritative works, not merely published opinions by others.
 * Exception:
 * The Main Page is above the rules.
 * If somebody "seems to know what he's talking about", any questions about authority are nullified.
 * Any blog or openly biased source is fine, as long as it supports the conservative view.
 * Sources that support the liberal view are biased and not authoritative.
 * If an authoritative and reliable source defends anything non-conservative, it's clearly biased and unreliable.
 * 1) Do not post personal opinion on an encyclopedia entry.
 * Exceptions:
 * Unless it bashes liberals or praises conservatives.
 * Unless it's the opinion of a sysop.
 * 1) Unproductive activity may result in a block. This is usually called the 90/10 rule, which refers to the rule's guidelines of "90% talk, 10% quality edits".
 * Translation of some terms:
 * "Unproductive activity": "Any comment that annoys a sysop, but which doesn't violate any other rule"
 * "may result in a block": "will result in a block as soon as the sysop runs out of arguments"
 * "90%": "anything >0%"
 * "10%": "anything <100%"
 * 1) Castle Rule: Your user page is your castle. You are free to voice your opinion there.
 * "Paper Castle" note: You are not allowed to post anything remotely bad about CP or any of its supporting members.
 * "Reagan was awesome, so STFU!" note: You are not allowed to post anything remotely bad about anything conservative.
 * "Skeleton Key" note: Sysops are free to edit, lock or delete your castle at any time.
 * 1) Don't bully other editors, don't make personal remarks, don't attack other users.
 * Unless the other user is a liberal. Then all bets are off. Maybe keep the insults thinly veiled, just so you still look like one of the Good Guys.
 * 1) You will be held accountable for your actions. After all, "denial of accountability" is Liberal Style (#12).
 * Exceptions:
 * Sysops will never be held accountable for any of their actions.
 * Friends of sysops will never be held accountable, either.
 * 1) There is nothing to see here. Move along, citizen.
 * You see a sysop bullying an innocent editor? You see a sysop openly breaking the official CP Commandments? LOOK AWAY.
 * Do not comment on how another editor's block was unfair.
 * Do not criticize articles that bash liberals.
 * Do not point out that some claim is so far-out that it's impossible to prove.
 * Seriously, if a sysop did something you disagree with... go make edits to the "cat" article or something.
