EK (talk) 21:29, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

Hell no

Just no. — Oxyaena ^Harass 22:11, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

This user has made no edits. Chef Moosolini’s Ristorante Italiano^{Make a Reservation} 23:28, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

That is not a reason to vandalize my talk page nor for a mod to abuse their power because they can't handle any dissent. Godless Raven (talk) 10:54, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

You're talkpage isn't being vandalized, and mods aren't abusing their power. Grow up and read the guidelines. ☭Comrade GC☭^{Ministry of Praise} 10:56, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

It is, but would a vandal ever recognize their acts as vandalism? Food for thought (or not, considering that power does not correlate with self-criticism). Godless Raven (talk) 11:05, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

Goat! Stop taking this all so seriously, u have plenty of time to attack each other later 😉 EK (talk) 11:08, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

You can assert it all you want, that doesn't change the fact that someone made a comparatively minor comment and your response was to remove it for no reason and then edit war with other editors. You are wrong by every observable metric. ☭Comrade GC☭^{Ministry of Praise} 11:12, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

Pro-tip

Instead of edit warring take it to the talkpage and start a discussion. Ace^Moderator 02:27, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

Oxyaena is a troll that just undoes all of my edits without any argument, you might want to talk to them instead of me. In case you doubt me, I can show you the logs where Oxyaena just trolls the articles I edit. Godless Raven 🌹 ^Heretic 02:29, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

Oxy isn't a troll, Oxy just need to grow up...a lot. Nonetheless, use the talkpages. Ace^Moderator 02:31, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

Ok, if you genuinely believe that, look up the logs. The articles I edited always featured references and sources and, yet, Oxyaena just undoes them. So, again, instead of vandalizing my talk page, maybe go annoy Oxyaena? Godless Raven 🌹 ^Heretic 02:32, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

Discussion is not vandalism... Please cease misusing the English language... ☭Comrade GC☭^{Ministry of Praise} 02:36, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

Really funny how commies like to dogpile on someone doing legit work on ratwiki only because im not a communist myself, but carte blanche is given to Oxyaena who trolls the edits I make. Interesting disparity, gotta say. Godless Raven 🌹 ^Heretic 02:38, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

Neither Ace nor myself is a communist... ☭Comrade GC☭^{Ministry of Praise} 02:39, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

Hey man, I'm a left-leaning capitalist. Ace^Moderator 02:42, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

Have you reprimanded Oxy yet? Godless Raven 🌹 ^Heretic 02:44, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

1. We did make a note to Oxyaena not to groundlessly remove your sysop rights.
2. We're really just asking you to take it to the talkpage first instead of just edit warring. Not an unreasonable request. Make your case for your edit on the talk page and wait for a few more editors to either side with you or against you. You know, achieve a consensus.--"Shut up, Brx." 03:02, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

No, and I won't. You can bring a case to the Chicken Coop and present all your evidence there. Then I'll comment. Ace^Moderator 02:47, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

Don't hold your breath then. Godless Raven 🌹 ^Heretic 02:53, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

OK - then instead of edit warring use the talkpages, present your case and see how it shakes down. Ace^Moderator 02:55, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ Stop poisoning the well in articles, corpsefucker. — Oxyaena ^Harass 04:33, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

Yeah - and I'm the abrasive one...Oxy - that was really unnecessary. Did you see how the adults handled this issue. Try to learn something - we had already settled this without you. Ace^Moderator 04:41, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

Raven literally defends necrophilia. — Oxyaena ^Harass 04:45, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

Don't be a dick. This was settled already without you needing to comment further. Ace^Moderator 04:47, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

this all could have been avoided if oxy wasn't being an idiot. EK (talk) 09:07, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

References

I elected to remove the section you added on the Anarchism article if only because you didn't provide references. You put it back in with some solid references, and I'll defend the edit[1]--"Shut up, Brx." 05:11, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not a "solid reference." — Oxyaena ^Harass 05:22, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

We have gold brain articles where the references say "see the wikipedia article"--"Shut up, Brx." 05:27, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

Thanks to LGM, the page is protected from wandalism and the issue has been solved, I hope. Godless Raven 🌹 ^Heretic 06:01, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

Favor

I would like to ask you for a favor. Please refrain from contributing to the latest discussion on the Moderation page. I am being literal. It's clear you have a grudge against user Oxyaena and it will serve no one if you keep choosing to antagonize them. Let the rest of the community solve this. @Oxyaena, it is quite likely that you're reading this yourself. If that is the case then I recommend to you as well to avoid Godless Raven and his talk page--Hastur! (talk) 23:17, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi @Hastur, I was a move ahead of you! On the discord yesterday I pledged to EK and The Crow to not talk about or to Oxy because I was being accused of borderline targeted harassment. So yeah, I won't engage with her stuff anymore, despite being attacked once again. But thank you for the advice. — Godless Raven 🌹 ^Heretic 06:01, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

May I suggest

That you pick your battles? I see you've been involved in quite a few edit wars during your short time here. A lot of your edits are appreciated and are to remain in Mainspace. But please remember that a wiki is collaborative, so any and all mainspace edits are subject to scrutiny. Now, you could waste your energy and everybody else's contesting each and every revert (and I feel the need to repeat myself: some of your edits get reverted, but most aren't), or you could learn not to expend your social capital creating pointless arguments. Please choose the latter--Hastur! (talk) 22:57, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

Instead of lecturing me, just go and coop me. — Godless Raven ^talk_stalk^walk_balk 🌹 23:34, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

Edit warring solves nothing

I'd rather not want to lock two pages to mod-edits only in one day. --It's-a me, 🎄LeftyGreenMario!🎄 18:42, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

go here -> coop @LeftyGreenMario — Godless Raven ^talk_stalk^walk_balk 🌹 18:43, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

Coop is more of a last resort sort of thing. All you need to do is to follow advice so you don't end up grating on the patience of others to the point of starting the coop. --It's-a me, 🎄LeftyGreenMario!🎄 18:50, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

Okay, it seems like you're not getting the message. I've removed your sysop rights and blocked you for three days. Don't say I didn't warn you. --It's-a me, 🎄LeftyGreenMario!🎄 22:18, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

Sure, see you in 3 days. — Godless Raven ^talk_stalk^walk_balk 🌹 22:23, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

Very ominous and spooky. "See you in 3 days..." HairlessCat (talk) 22:47, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

Your Tucker Carlson edit is stupid and adds nothing of value. Stop edit-warring for it. It's not worth it and no one will agree with you. Chef Moosolini’s Ristorante Italiano^{Make a Reservation} 22:51, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

go here -> coop — Godless Raven ^talk_stalk^walk_balk 🌹 22:54, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

So, let me get this straight. You're being a little shit solely so we'll Coop you (and potentially ban you)? I presume if that were to occur you'd run off back to your private Discord server and whine? ☭Comrade GC☭^{Ministry of Praise} 23:06, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

No, I just think the edit to Tucker Carlson is ridiculous when my edit of similar nature was removed from Donald Trump. MLK advocating homophobia was deleted but apparently Keynes being bisexual is part of his legacy. I can't in good conscience just cooperate with clearly irrational and ideologically corrupt behavior. — Godless Raven ^talk_stalk^walk_balk 🌹 23:09, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

You're moron, you know that right? A man in the 1950s-1960s having a regressive view of homosexuality? Understandable, but not particularly savory. Keynes' personal life is brought up because of the backlash by wingnuts. Your edits to Trump were largely to add an entirely pointless quote that proves... What exactly? The Carlson thing has been resolved, no thanks to you. Honestly, it's like you just ctrl+F things instead of reading and processing them. Also there's your habit of accusing anyone you don't like of being Anarchists, which hasn't won you many (if any) friends and seems to have annoyed several site regulars. ☭Comrade GC☭^{Ministry of Praise} 23:15, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ What is preventing you from cooping me, then? — Godless Raven ^talk_stalk^walk_balk 🌹 23:17, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

Nah, just let a mod ban this kid. If anyone wants to appeal, go to the coop. But I doubt it’ll get much traction. Chef Moosolini’s Ristorante Italiano^{Make a Reservation} 23:17, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

But spamming my talk page is good somehow? I mean, I know you all want to desperately get rid of me so that you can whitewash all the stuff in peace. — Godless Raven ^talk_stalk^walk_balk 🌹 23:20, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

Nobody is spamming your talk page. We’re trying to talk to you. That’s what a talk page is for, hence the name. We’ve had this discussion before. Chef Moosolini’s Ristorante Italiano^{Make a Reservation} 23:24, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

Aside from calling me mean names, what else are you saying? I don't understand. — Godless Raven ^talk_stalk^walk_balk 🌹 23:27, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

(edit conflict) What's frustrating about this is that a lot of your edits we don't mind keeping. But the ones the community doesn't like you insist on going to war over--Hastur! (talk) 23:28, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

(edit conflict) Basically that. You make a few dumb edits and the act like an annoying fuck when we don't like them. It's not always going to go your way. Show better judgement in editing or else deal with the fact that not all of your edits will stick. Basically, stop acting like a bratty child. Chef Moosolini’s Ristorante Italiano^{Make a Reservation} 23:36, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

See you in 3 days. — Godless Raven ^talk_stalk^walk_balk 🌹 23:38, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

Will you start behaving more maturely then? Chef Moosolini’s Ristorante Italiano^{Make a Reservation} 23:39, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ If by "mature" you mean lying on behalf of a far-left agenda, probably not. It goes against my ethos. — Godless Raven ^talk_stalk^walk_balk 🌹 23:40, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

No, I don't mean that, and I genuinely have no idea where you got the idea that I am "far-left". The fact that you seemingly can't define "maturity" reveals much about your conduct and character. Chef Moosolini’s Ristorante Italiano^{Make a Reservation} 23:43, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

I never called you far-left. — Godless Raven ^talk_stalk^walk_balk 🌹 23:53, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

You're way to quick to jump to bad faith. Maybe not do that? ☭Comrade GC☭^{Ministry of Praise} 00:09, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

Why not end this really quickly and coop me? What is the purpose of this? — Godless Raven ^talk_stalk^walk_balk 🌹 00:18, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

• Fawcett (talk) 00:26, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

I came to your defence regarding you and Oxy but now you’re just being a dick. Stop it. Ace^Moderator 00:37, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

You did, and I appreciated that, @Ace McWicked. But can you explain to me why it is allowed to remove my snark on the Trump page but when I remove it from the Tucker Carlson article, it's edit warring? So MLK being homophobic is "not relevant" to his legacy but Keynes being bisexual is? Can you explain to me if this is not purely flexing mod powers? I would appreciate it. — Godless Raven ^talk_stalk^walk_balk 🌹 00:51, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

I’m not across any of these edits so I don’t know but if you have a problem with the mods bring it up on the mod page with examples. Then I’ll look. Ace^Moderator 00:55, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

Funny you say that, because I am blocked. — Godless Raven ^talk_stalk^walk_balk 🌹 00:56, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

Then wait. Ace^Moderator 01:17, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

Contesting the edits through a talk page should've been the protocol in the first place rather than repeatedly edit warring. Stop acting like it's our problem that you consistently fail to carry out our advice. --It's-a me, 🎄LeftyGreenMario!🎄 15:53, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ You already said that, don't you get tired from saying the same thing over and over? — Godless Raven ^talk_stalk^walk_balk 🌹 16:00, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

Draft: Anarchism

Hi @Bob M, since I am unable to respond in Draft:Anarchism, feel free to edit it. All I asked for the original page was to make a fair article on the subject and not the blatant propaganda that is currently the case. — Godless Raven ^talk_stalk^walk_balk 🌹 12:23, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

And I suggested that you might like to produce an alternative page for community perusal. I'm sure the world won't end if you take a break from it for a couple of days.Bob^{"Life is short and (insert adjective)"} 17:04, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
