Ban proposal
While there seems to be a decent level of support for a topic ban or a similar form of punishment, It is unclear (to me at least) how well a ban proposal will go down at this time. Yes, people are irked enough to support some form of topic ban, but are they irked enough to support exiling someone? 03:27, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I think the bigger issue is dumping something into the Coop if it wasn't necessary... CoryUsar (talk) 03:32, 29 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Well to be fair it might be, as a really-long block at least doesn't seem so controversial now. -- Goatspeed. 03:57, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Moving things to the coop would make sense. Moderators don't have much power in the way of unilateral action against sysops-Hastur! (talk)  04:34, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

Why'd you sign up
solely to make a comment on my coop case? — Oxyaena Harass  19:39, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Shit, I've been editing for a couple of years now, mostly wiki-gnome shit, I just never signed up. I finally got sick of clicking all of the pictures that had crosswalks, buses, traffic lights, fluffy bunnies, etc and not being able to edit protected pages. 71.208.x.x (talk) 22:12, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
 * That's pretty understandable honestly. 22:17, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you GC. 71.208.x.x (talk) 22:19, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

NSFW pictures
Thanks for keeping the vandalism in check. Just be aware that the next time you see an NSFW picture, you should redirect it to File:Blocked commons image.jpg and then apply the most restrictive protections to the NSFW link like I did for this (link is SFW) LongStylus (talk) 22:56, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

Bad username?
Sez who?
 * Pretty sure attacking a specific nation with one's username isn't acceptable here. At any rate, they are socking. 71.208.x.x (talk) 21:36, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

Re: Block war
Sorry, I haven't acquainted myself into that sort of thing yet. :P Blakegripling ph (talk) 23:31, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

Fencing the Coop
No, I don't think you're missing anything, I think you're right. Judging from the logs, it looks like COOP wasn't supposed to be indefinitely protected like that -- someone (Dredd) may have misinterpreted one of the temp-protects to deter trolls as a permanent protection.

Good username
A million times better than BonbonX or whatever that one was. 03:06, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I figured you'd like it since you're one of several people on the wiki using Nintendo characters as usernames. Decided I liked the idea enough to do it myself. ;) King Bowser K. Rool (talk) 18:10, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

Retiring chicken coop thing
I saw your comment on it in the recent basement conversation, and, well, I remember that being a thread a while back in another RationalWiki talk page (don't remember exactly where) but apparently that suggestion was laughed out even though I thought there was a point being made there. We're not using coop any more, I noticed that, as we're favoring more doing stuff in that basement. Maybe it's worth bringing it up again, assuming it was YOU that brought it up and that'll be your third time. 00:18, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Ah yes, found it. 01:33, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I dunno, I think the concept of "Headless Chicken Mode" is pretty funny. --Luigifan18 (talk) 02:09, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't intend to formally propose mothballing the coop again, but if you support the idea I will say I would second the motion if you started the conversation. I don't propose mothballing the concept of HCM, just the chicken coop because it has largely been replaced by ATM (and the fact that people scold users for starting a coop instead of asking on somebody's talk page just further shows that the coop no longer serves the purpose it was intended, or any purpose for that matter; if I'm remembering correctly RationalWikians created the coop with the intention of it ending the days of conversations being spread over multiple user talk pages). But frankly, that deceptive "x amount of days since the last squabble" grates my nerves. It's like workplaces that have that kind of sign for workplace injuries while discouraging their employees from reporting injuries. King Bowser K. Rool (talk) 21:56, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
