Whom may post
"You don't get to decide whom may post on your..." It should be "who may post" - "you don't get to decide" - decide what? Decide who (subject) may post (verb.) I assume this message is welcome but if not: you don't get to decide who may post on your talk page :) Sarah (HH)
- I know the differences, it just amuses me to use whom. That and there's just so few times to really use it, such a shame for a word to not get used that often. --"Paravant" Talk & Contribs 06:08, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
- Ha! I let the first dozen go but 13's my limit. Good to know. Sarah (HH) 07:57, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
I Choose You, Paravant!
I'm nominatin' ya fer Mod thie election. You mean to tell me the tamales were spiked?! Say hi! Look here! Amen! 06:08, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
- Isn't it a day too soon, though? 142.124.55.236 (talk) 06:09, 1 November 42015 AQD (UTC)
- I can't imagine people haven't already been thinking up choices. Also there are actual times i should have put up on the notice, but forgot to do so, not that I think starting hours for the nominations are in particular relevant. --"Paravant" Talk & Contribs 06:11, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
Request
Hey, I see you archived the Saloon Bar a few days ago. Thank you for this. Can you do me a counter-intuitive favor, though, please, and refrain from archiving the Saloon Bar for a few days. I have a suspicion that Pibot not mopping up the Saloon Bar is related to an error in the code for how it was setup, and to prove whether or not my fixes work, I need a few days for Pibot's program to catch up to its tasks. This means that any interference in the process throws off my trying to figure out Pibot. This will expire in one week, so if the SB is filled to the brim by then, ignore this message. Thank you for your cooperation and have a good day/night. Gooniepunk (talk) 08:48, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
- No problem! --"Paravant" Talk & Contribs 09:37, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
Please help
I know you are likely at work, but Avenger is going crazy on the Israel page. He keeps inserting all kinds of bullshit, and I'm not going to spend all night giving him reasons for reverting him. He knows full well the majority does not share the perspective he wants to throw in, and we cannot have a vote on this stuff every goddam day. or a coop case. Really, until you do something in a mod capacity this is never going to end.---Mona- (talk) 23:53, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
- Mona I think you should first discuss with me what exactly your problems with my edits are. Which statement of fact do you doubt or want a source for? What exactly is your problem? And why can't you use talk:Israel to do that? I have no intention of edit warring (in fact I would much rather see the Cowgirls lose), but you seem intent on digging your heels in. I regret this sad development as it hurts the wiki and our mission. Avengerofthe BoN (talk) 23:57, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
- As AgingHippie I believe it was did to you last July, and as Paravant, Chris, 142 and I have done as well since then, we have protected the pages from you for this bullshit. But now that you again have a mop we cannot do that. Paravant will have to do something if anything is to be done.---Mona- (talk) 00:08, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

You've been nominated!
Over here. (Not that that wasn't obvious.) 142.124.55.236 (talk) 03:22, 2 November 42015 AQD (UTC)
- Also can you capitalise the intercom message properly? 'Moderator Election Notice' or 'Moderator election notice'. If you do that you will have my axe! Tielec01 (talk) 04:33, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

Delete at a Mod level?
There's not much point in deleting this if our hundreds and hundreds of sysops can still see it -- can you salt the earth at a more severe level? Peace. AgingHippie (talk) 18:06, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
- This dox is old news and all over the net, no point in a mod-level revdel, when the whole net knows, that Mkiemikev's name is [redacted].--Arisboch ☞✍☜☞✉☜ ∈)☼(∋ 18:13, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

- Whether its available all over is irrelevant. His parents and telling us theyve been contacted is even less ok.--"Paravant" Talk & Contribs 18:51, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
- FWIW I couldn't give a flying toss. But apply your policies as you see fit. After all the website owner paid for the domain and can promote his personal opinions on the matter. 116.255.78.133 (talk) 18:58, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

Why do you keep reverting my edit?
http://www.newsweek.com/larry-lessig-drops-out-presidential-campaign-389691 Lawrence Lessig belongs in the Dropped Out category.Blitz (Complaints Box) 19:29, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
- Yes, I know. First you put him in the wrong area so I reverted it to give you a chance to fix it yourself, and then again because your moving it broke something and I wanted to see what had broken it while i moved it myself. --"Paravant" Talk & Contribs 19:30, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
- I had just noticed I'd broken it and was in the process of fixing it when you reverted me.Blitz (Complaints Box) 19:32, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

Question that's been bugging me...
Is the name a play on the French word "auparavant"? Peace. AgingHippie (talk) 02:29, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
- I took it from Elder Scrolls, actually, in a reference to the fact I have a big ego ("First", as my signature says) and my status as a nerd. My understanding is that they got it from auparavant and it's older form of paravant, however. I'm not nearly as good at linguistic things to have made a play on word :P . --"Paravant" Talk & Contribs 02:35, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

So you're really not helping refute my opinion that you're abusing the sysop tools to spite me at every turn.—Ryulong (talk) 05:20, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
- Did you really just call this community "toxic" based on those comments? Carpetsmoker (talk) 05:22, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
- Yes. Because it's all at my expense.—Ryulong (talk) 05:22, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
- In Dutch we have a saying, that someone can "have long toes", meaning that a person has such long toes that it's difficult not to step on them (meaning to offend someone, like in English). Your toes aren't just long, I'm pretty sure you have more than 10 toes...
- As I already said on the other talk page, lighten up; after all, it's just some random wanker on this stupid internets thing... We're allotted with such a short time on this planet, is this truly how you want to spend your time? Being angry about this? Or are there more important things in life? Here's some music to help you start relaxing Carpetsmoker (talk) 05:54, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

Do I have a vote in these mod-elections?
See title. If I do, where's the page? Cheers Sorte Slyngel (talk) 18:50, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

- I'll miss my vote by a few days. I would have voted for you, believe it or not. :-) Sorte Slyngel (talk) 19:37, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
- I'm also just shy, but if we can vote for 4 I would have also included Paravant.---Mona- (talk) 19:51, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
- voting runs for a week.--"Paravant" Talk & Contribs 22:47, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
- @Mona: you have one vote apiece, but you rank candidates in order of preference and surplus votes go to next picks, basically. WalkerWalkerWalker 22:49, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
