User talk:Luigifan18

Advice
I'm not going to lie, every time I see your name popup on the deletion or block log it makes me sweat. I recommend you cease using your sysop tools for now, at least until your ATIM case is closed. Rabbitseatcarrots (talk) 21:18, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
 * At this rate, it looks like I'm going to lose my sysop tools entirely, so I'm trying to show that such measures are unnecessary by using them responsibly (e.g. only where it's actually warranted). --Luigifan18 (talk) 21:25, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
 * You are doing the opposite. The best thing you could do would be to show you're capable of *not* using your sysop tools at all, since overuse is the main issue. Christopher (talk) 12:50, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

Yo
It's good to see you back. Vee (talk) 17:15, 25 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I never left. I was just spending more time on other things. --Luigifan18 (talk) 02:21, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

Are you insane??
This is not ok AT ALL! You do NOT wish a deadly disease upon people, EVEN if you don't like them!! Arcadium Trancefer (talk) 11:14, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

Your edits
Hi, I have been undoing too many of your edits (I watch the Recent Changes page and check most of the edits in real-time and I am decidedly aggressive in my willingness to undo). This is a mature wiki, which means if you have anything to add to pages that have been existed for a long time the additions should be crucial information. I've noticed that you do a lot of 'Grammar checks', which is ostensibly good, but a lot of your changes add poor grammar. For example, on the 'hypothesis' page you added the word 'like' to this sentence: However, hypotheses about what happened a long time ago, like at the point of the Big Bang for example, are much more difficult to test directly (which some people take to mean it can't be tested at all) In this case the word 'like' serves the same function as the words 'for example', so if you're going to add 'like', you have to take away 'for example' otherwise it is redundant. Manuals on how to write well always say that unnecessary words should be omitted. Many of your edits pad out sentences with unnecessary words. You might want to consider relegating your grammar checks to punctuation because I don't think you currently have the skill set to make more elaborate grammar edits. If you disagree with that assessment, I suggest that you at least consider removing words to fix grammar to be more important than adding words. FairDinkum (talk) 07:56, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
 * … wow … Acei9 15:00, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
 * FWIW I've been undoing some of your edits, too, Ace. FairDinkum (talk) 10:59, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
 * And today I just reverted an edit by Luigifan which promoted violence toward libertarians. So if you think I'm out of line, you're wrong.FairDinkum (talk) 11:17, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
 * ”if you think I’m out of line, you’re wrong”. Wow - being a dick much? Acei9 14:31, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Oh and dude you undid one of my edits which I reverted because strikeout humour is powerfully lame. If you want to add something else then go for it but strikeout has long since been, for all intents and purposes, dropped at RW. If you think I'm out of line, you're wrong. Acei9 17:45, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
 * First of all, I want to apologize to Luigifan, I think we were both having a bad day. Luigifan is a valued member of this wiki and any time a person makes as many edits as Luigifan does, they are going to make mistakes. So, I'm sorry (I hate it when people say they're going to apologize but don't). Luigifan does have the skillset to make good edits and is particularly good at spotting grammar, punctuation and spelling mistakes. It's Luigifan's textual additions that are sometimes less than optimal, not the grammar, spelling and punctuation fixes. Luigifan is one of the few people who actually makes an effort to make this wiki better. As for you, Ace, no apology is necessary. If strike-out snark has long been dropped then the entire membership of RW has been negligent in removing it because it is all over the f-ing place, and that tells me that most people like it. I personally think it is the best usage of snark on RW, and if there was a decision to 'drop' it I'm obviously not going to search the archives to find it, if in fact such a discussion has taken place. I think removing it makes the wiki dull and that it actually serves a useful purpose besides snark, as it allows for an intermediate between full removal of text and leaving text alone. For example, I was planning on making an edit to the 'N-word' page where it says that the word has diminished in usage due to 'political correctness'. I was planning on striking out 'political correctness' and adding 'common sense'. Using it in that way would allow me to fix the context without fully stepping on it. However, I have no problem with anyone reverting or undoing my reverts and undos. It is as easy for you to revert or undo my edits as it is for me to revert or undo yours. I will only revert or undo once, if you choose to put it back that's your prerogative. Furthermore, Ace, I did not say that you were wrong to remove the strike out, I said you were wrong if you thought I was out of line for removing some of Luigifan's material, particularly the passive-aggressive addition of promotion of violence. If you want to call me names and misrepresent my claims that reflects poorly on you, not me. FairDinkum (talk) 03:20, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Calling you a dick for being a dick isn’t calling you names - it’s pointing out you were being a dick. If you’d rather I say “good fellow! I want proffer your engagement with this user has been deemed to not be sporting!” I can do that but the resulting judgement is the same. Also - if we are going to interact further you should probably understand Im a wonderful but direct utter bastard. Everyone kind of knows it - having been here some 14 yrs I’ve kinda made a bit of a, err, reputation for such. Meh. Acei9 05:38, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Anyway - none of that matters anymore. I've decided to flee into the Appalachian hinterlands to grow a house, build some honey and sell it to The Amish. I'll need help - but from those who have true grit. Acei9 08:39, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

Please don't minimod
Your comments on User talk:VladisBad333 were completely unhelpful and misleading. You're not a mod and had your sysop rights revoked because you didn't know how to use them, so please stop acting like one. The situation was going to be inevitable handled by an actual sysop anyway, and you uselessly speculating didn't help the situation. Plutocow (talk) 23:44, 15 February 2023 (UTC)


 * So what, none of what LuigiFan said was inaccurate and they were obviously trying to be helpful so even if it ulti mately was not helpful, the intention was to be. You accuse them of minimodding when the first thing they said was that they don't even have sysop rights. FairDinkum s(talk) 10:05, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
 * What they said could have easily scared a potential contributor away by saying that they were banned for false reasons, and this behavior is why Luigifan18 lost sysop rights in the first place. I don't care if they were trying to be "helpful", what they did was anything but and Luigifan should really know better at this point. FairDinkum, please don't insert yourself in situations you clearly know nothing about. Plutocow (talk) 13:27, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I know plenty about you being a terrible moderator. LuigiFan said they were simply guessing, so again, so what? As far as potential contributors being scared away, reading your contributions to my talk page would surely do the job far better than what LuigiFan wrote would. FairDinkum (talk) 13:41, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
 * In fact, it seems to me that if you were really concerned that what LuigiFan wrote would scare away a potential contributor, you would have put your comment on the same page as LuigiFan's comment, rather than on LuigiFan's talk page where it achieves nothing but admonishment of LuigiFan. FairDinkum (talk) 13:57, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
 * (ec)LOL, take it to ATIM. Tu quoque, but I can play that game as well, weren't you baselessly accusing people of doxing you? Still, if you're not a sysop, and don't know anything about the situation you're talking about, then don't act like a sysop, it's that simple. Plutocow (talk) 14:00, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Also, if the situation concerns Luigifan, it goes on Luigifan's talkpage, plain and simple. Now, it seems you're just making shit up to justify getting angry at me (then again, it's not like you weren't doing that before). But again, take it to ATIM. Plutocow (talk) 14:00, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
 * OMG, I just discovered that you're NOT a mod! YOU are the one masquarading as a mod you clown, not LuigiFan! What a joke you are. FairDinkum (talk) 14:23, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I never claimed to be. I'm at least a sysop and could check the logs that Luigifan didn't have access to. Besides, I'd recommend reading the rest of Luigifan's talkpage and the ATIM archives to understand why Luigifan lost their sysop rights. Regardless, if you want to continue this conversation, take it to ATIM. You're already in the hot seat and this has little to do with Luigifan anymore. Plutocow (talk) 14:48, 6 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Why do I feel like the butterfly who set off a hurricane right about now? 😬😥 Luigifan18 (talk) 19:27, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
