Kingdamian1 → Promote to editor[edit]
So put simply, Damian is just not fitting in. I see a lot of fighting, and weird posts that are getting weirder, along with a generally crazy writing style sometimes involving shouting, and a general issue with people I know to be useful butting heads with him. Recently I am beginning to suspect Damian of harbouring far-right views, and this doesn't help. I suggest a promotion, but perhaps Damian will take the opportunity to negate some of these concerns. — Dysk (contribs) 21:36, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
- IDK we don't really promote/demote for political views. We do have local crazy RobSmith running around as Sysop. He's gained a reputation as a shit-stirrer, though, such as dragging drama from Conservapedia to here. --It's-a me, LeftyGreenMario! 21:40, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
- I don't mind the fact he has political views, it's how often it seems to cause drama that bothers me. Really I would appreciate some solid refutation of the more recent posts that suggest he has views on race. — Dysk (contribs) 21:44, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
- While he does introduce drama, this situation is not evenly remotely close to HCM.—€h33s3βurg3rF@€3 (talk • stalk) 22:22, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
- Damian is not just a far-right person, he is an extremely immature person. Like did he ever graduate middle school immature. I know people in real life who are in high school and are 1,000,000 times more mature than he is. I'm not saying that just to be mean, I'm saying that because he is ****ing annoying, and to annoy me of all people is saying something. What a Wonderful World (talk) 00:40, 3 August 2018 (UTC)

What a Wonderful World (talk) 01:28, 3 August 2018 (UTC) Kingdamian1 has repeatedly blanked content on Kingdamian1's talk page that was not prohibited content or harassment. This and the recent previous coop case make Kingdamian1 worthy of demopping. It would also be advisable if Kingdamian1 puts the archive bot on their talk page rather than manually curating/archiving it. If after this, Kingdamian1 wants to regain the mop, it's simple: make constructive meaningful edits and stay of trouble. Bongolian (talk) 01:28, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
- @Kingdamian1 You say you changed your mind on a lot of things, but those Bar threads I linked to are less than two weeks old. And that's the kind of crap we're pointing to that makes us think you're a moron. Chef Moosolini’s Ristorante ItalianoMake a Reservation 01:30, 3 August 2018 (UTC)

- @Kingdamian1 I still don't think you should be demopped.

- For those saying he doesn't abuse the tools, look at his use of the block function He has used the tools to unblock himself in defiance of community sanctions, causing him to have to be put in sysoprevoke for the remainder of his block, and while I never thought I'd see the day I side with a troll, if blocking me for merely saying the Wikimedia Foundation had recommended a report to law enforcement (not a legal threat at all because I said I wasn't going to do it) wasn't wanton misuse of the tools, then why hasn't he been blocked for insisting he will get law enforcement involved over Grawp (while this community is saying the opposite of what WMF suggested, though I don't know the seriousness of these "threats" as they are suppressed from public record), because Grawp is no more a pain in the ass than Kingdamian1 is, who don't forget threatened me on TOW.

- "Cheeseburgerfarce"? Really? Are you a five year old?

- @Kingdamian1 Citizendium is/was overly bureaucratic in practice, utilizing a top-down, micromanagement heavy approach to management that ultimately came back to bite them.

- What they aspired to be and what they became are two separate things. Add to that that one of their chief founders left Wikipedia during what could politely be called a huff, and that they ignored people pointing out the flaws in their management style and one gets the impression that they never really stood a chance. ☭Comrade GC☭Ministry of Praise 17:15, 3 August 2018 (UTC)

- My vote may change, but while most of what I see from KD1 is a bunch of JAQing off, I don't see what he's done so far that's an abuse of his sysop powers CoryUsar (talk) 12:50, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
- stop starting coops for bullshits reasons. the only rationale is that this chap isnt popular. this is not a reason. AMassiveGay (talk) 12:53, 3 August 2018 (UTC)

- The rationale given for initiating this coop doesn't come close to providing any reasonable justification. I would suggest, however, that Kingdamian1 refrain from feeding the trolls.

Gyvres[edit]
- Since I started the thread (yay me) I won't vote either way. As I see it the incident with Wonderful World was unfortunate, but given that a random IP troll comment was enough to generate the same basic response, this does not fill me with confidence. I hope that regardless of the outcome KD can learn to ignore the trolls. Whether KD is a troll is of course highly debatable, at the very least I would like to see less hornet nest poking from him. Especially on topics connected to racial issues, since mixing politics and race does nothing except bring out the ad Hitlerum arguments. — Dysk (contribs) 09:57, 3 August 2018 (UTC)

Bongolian's block of WWW[edit]
I wish for a wider-community review of Bongolian's infinite block of What a Wonderful World. Bongolian originally blocked WWW for 3 months and when I challenged him on it he told me to mind my own business (RWRW:MYOB). Since then he has increased WWW's block to infinite following an apparent admission of tampering with the 2017 Moderator election. I personally oppose this action but, to avoid a block/unblock war, I have decided to open this up for a community review.
I should also note that I have conditionally unblocked WWW allow him to comment on this case if he wishes to. I have instructed him to stay away from the RMF Election in the meantime. --RWRW (talk) 18:51, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
Endorse infinite block[edit]
- Really, this isn't worth the time defending someone in sysop revoke (WWW). He's a troll plain and simple. WWW admitted: WWW stated: "Perhaps you should give it a little more weight considering I, together with a friend from high school, got Pbfreespace3 elected as an alternate for moderator..." (provided courtesy of @Cosmikdebris). WWW has continued with election ratfuckery in the current campaign and has contributed nothing of value to RW. Bongolian (talk) 21:00, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

Oppose infinite block[edit]
- I oppose this infinite block, just like I opposed the original 3 months block. As far as I can tell WWW has done nothing to 'disrupt' the RMF election. I also don't believe his comment means he actually hacked the previous Mod election. --RWRW (talk) 18:51, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

- That's not your call to make. If Bongolian is correct in the application of the block, then the community will come to that consensus, as I'm sure they will. In the meantime, WWW is entitled to speak in their own defense, and Bongolian should explain their block rather than telling RWRW to "MYOB." RoninMacbeth (talk) 19:24, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

- Alright, I've been around this site longer than any of you people have, and this is just stupid. I was not ballot stuffing or anything like that in the moderator election if that is what you are trying to say, what I meant when I said a friend and I got Pbfreespace3 his position as an alternate is that I nominated him for the position, he accepted, and the community took it from there because I didn't even vote in the election, and to my knowledge, Ex-Troll did not either. I did the same with this election, and I was very transparent about it. It's funny, just like this site used to be. This site was never a serious project, and never will be a serious project; you guys still use the block function to horse around with each other, still mock people you don't like... The difference is now there's a group of punks with administrative power who have a chip on their shoulder and think they are God's gift to RationalWiki, and I'm sorry to say you're not. You know who you are, and you are actually idiots who need to get a life; if you want to play Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle in a serious capacity, take up vandal patrol at Wikipedia. What a Wonderful World (talk) 21:07, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
- And I'm going to add, you are wasting your time. This is not my first rodeo. On one hand, past accounts have been permabanned, on the other hand, I have a few floating around with sysop powers, it's just too bad I don't remember the passwords to them. I've also been a serious candidate for moderator, so hop off. What a Wonderful World (talk) 21:11, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

- Board material right there. What a Wonderful World (talk) 21:31, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
- I believe that there's a heavy burden of proof for anyone who wants to impose a permaban of this nature. Bongolian has not met that burden. The only justification given for the penalty levied against WWW is a vague statement made by WWW which has been alleged to be evidence of "election tampering." I find this reason and evidence unconvincing. I have also seen no evidence of ratfucking in this election cycle either. Frankly, if this community holds that a user may be banned for posting on the elections board and nominating other unpopular users, any one of us could be subject to the same punishment. In short, blocking WWW for the stated reason and duration is a bad move. Chef Moosolini’s Ristorante ItalianoMake a Reservation 21:49, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
- Permaban seems a little harsh. The most stringent measure I am willing to impose on this person would be barring this person from the elections, barring from nominating anyone. --It's-a me, LeftyGreenMario! 22:32, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
- No evidence this is a Russian operative. Therefore he is probably not subverting the elections. — Dysk (contribs) 22:35, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

Goat[edit]
Given that I am currently editing from my phone, I would ask that I be given time to respond via my computer. ☭Comrade GC☭Ministry of Praise 21:36, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
- Now that I'm finally back at my computer I'll add my input. WWW has made it clear that he only exists here to troll us, has made edits exclusively for the purpose of disruption and division, has harassed other users, and has on numerious occasions alluded to a previous ban. Given this behavior, in addition to acting like a twelve year old when someone gets tired of his shit, I would recomend that we block this person, if not outright ban them. ☭Comrade GC☭Ministry of Praise 22:57, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
- Given that this user's probably already created a new account for disrupting and trolling, I don't see any point at continuing this coop. I'm in favor of a short term ban for asshattery and generally non-constructive behavior, but a permanent ban seems to be too much. Regards, Cosmikdebris (talk) 02:14, 19 August 2018 (UTC)
- @Cosmikdebris As long as his inappropriate behavior is punished, I at least will be satisfied. ☭Comrade GC☭Ministry of Praise 02:54, 19 August 2018 (UTC)
- @GrammarCommie you call any of this punishment? You seek to punish people for inappropriate behavior on RationalWiki? Please, you sound like 17 year old me want to get people in serious trouble for writing "hi" on Wikipedia articles from their schools. You and Bongolian are tards. What a Wonderful World (talk) 11:26, 19 August 2018 (UTC)
- @What a Wonderful World Yes, yes I do. If you did any of this shit in real life (you wouldn't, you don't have the balls to do it when your name, reputation, and possibly your life are on the line) I'd do worse. As it is the worst I can do is ban your account, or at least block it. ☭Comrade GC☭Ministry of Praise 12:18, 19 August 2018 (UTC)
- Is "I'd do worse" some kind of a threat? Legally speaking in the United States, the "shit" I do here would, at most, result in restraining orders or trespass warnings being issued, not jail time. Now, it could result in a fight... if I were picking on high school kids, drunks in a bar, or something along those lines, but generally speaking, no it would not. Rarely do peaceful demonstrations turn violent. What a Wonderful World (talk) 17:15, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

Actually, let's discuss GrammarCommie[edit]
If you look at GrammarCommie's talk page, he was been trouted more than once for excessive force, and I have seen it first hand because he blocked an IP I was editing from for "block evasion" along with some silly comment for over 16,000 people to see should any of them have tried to edit RationalWiki during the block. Above, he says he wants "inappropriate behavior" punished. At what point does the mob decide to take away someone's mop for this kind of behavior? I lost mine and I have never abused a mop on RationalWiki. What a Wonderful World (talk) 11:37, 19 August 2018 (UTC)
- Whether you're just trying to stir up drama is hard to tell, but it is true that GC is a bit overzealous with the blocking/protecting/reverting. But it is also true that, after mentioning this stuff on their talk page, it does seem to have become better. Certainly not coop-worthy in any case. —Kazitor 11:50, 19 August 2018 (UTC)
- Nothing has changed, he still sees himself as some Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle here to punish people for what he deems "inappropriate behavior," as evidenced in his above comments. What a Wonderful World (talk) 11:59, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

Enough[edit]
We have basically all agreed that WWW should not be permabanned, and the thread about GC's conduct has devolved into a series of ad hominems. I see no reason to prolong these coop cases, such as they are. Move to archive and forget about this. RoninMacbeth (talk) 17:18, 19 August 2018 (UTC)
