whats your discord ^{— Unsigned, by: Codefuser / talk / contribs}

FYI

I think I found the answer to your question. CowHouse (talk) 13:20, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

Let's make peace :-)

Sincerely, Thinker^(unlicensed) 21:47, 29 June 2019 (UTC)

When you stop concern trolling we can make peace, @UnlicensedThinker. You wonder why you have such a bad reputation, you should work to improve it rather than whining about the "negative treatment" you get. — Oxyaena ^Harass 01:55, 30 June 2019 (UTC)

You and me and musics

Akron/Family Say What You Want To I think embedding a song might be a step too far. I'd still like to hear what you like to hear. Gol Sarnitt (talk) 04:20, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

@Gol Sarnitt Check the comments section. ;) — Oxyaena ^Harass 04:36, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

I meant on both of our parts. I meant I got excited, wanted to hear what you like to hear, curated by you. What comments section? I'm honestly fumbling over here. Gol Sarnitt (talk) 05:07, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

Ohhhhh. Cool. Not my song or upload. You do Spotify? Gol Sarnitt (talk) 05:15, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

LOL. I like classic rock, jazz, not heavy metal. That song wasn't my cup of tea, and no I don't. — Oxyaena ^Harass 05:26, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

Haha, yeah, I'm pretty bad at this. How classic is your rock and how jazzy is your jazz? Gol Sarnitt (talk) 05:40, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

That was aggressive, how about some Tom Waits. Gol Sarnitt (talk) 06:04, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

The Decemberists Castaways and Cutouts. I always liked it. Gol Sarnitt (talk) 11:16, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

Your blocks.

While I dislike the trolls, your block reasons are horseshit. Try to stop, think, and use better block reasons. ☭Comrade GC☭^{Ministry of Praise} 16:55, 6 July 2019 (UTC)

Archiving

Moving most recent shit to archive. Just thought I'd announce it here so page wouldn't be blank. — Oxyaena ^Harass 07:28, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

FTSharp

Hi, I unblocked User:FTSharp because he didn't seem like a spammer to me. Modest self-promotion on one's own home page doesn't seem unreasonable to me. What he did is not that different than what User:David Gerard has done by linking to his home page and his own book. Bongolian (talk) 06:56, 24 July 2019 (UTC)

@Bongolian Maybe, but I recommend keeping a close eye on them because that was literally the first edit they made. 'Tis always suspicious when someone makes their userpage right after registering. — Oxyaena ^Harass 07:17, 24 July 2019 (UTC)

Agreed, I wouldn't autopatrol without further edits. Bongolian (talk) 07:25, 24 July 2019 (UTC)

I walk away for a few weeks

I left for a few weeks and it seems like a lot of stuff went wrong. What happend while I was gone? D totally wiped their pages and DMorris is back? Commie Lib (talk) 03:50, 27 July 2019 (UTC)

You

Really need to stop talking to you know who. I've seen you two arguing on my talk page and then recently on ikanreed's talk and who knows what else. The feeder is for birds, not particular bridge residents. --It's-a me, 🎄Lefty Green Mario!🎄 05:58, 27 July 2019 (UTC)

Sorry, I guess I'll use my handy-dandy troll repellent spray from now on lol. — Oxyaena ^Harass 10:46, 27 July 2019 (UTC)

Yeah, and try going easy on the "DMoris" thing as well. If someone is being a blatant troll, just either put up a dfft sign (which you've done a few times, which is good), trollcollapse (which you've done), move on. --It's-a me,

🎄Lefty Green Mario!🎄 21:42, 27 July 2019 (UTC)

Revert the G'Tach article

What am I missing, a google search for that term pretty much only turns up rationalwiki. I think we made a mistake? ikanreed ^{🐐Bleat at me} 18:37, 31 July 2019 (UTC)

I don't know, I only reverted it because they didn't provide a citation. — Oxyaena ^Harass 21:56, 31 July 2019 (UTC)

The Mother Ship

An old Wikipedia editor is requesting your insights on what he believes is a way that Wikipedia could again become a place where all “significant” views are again discussed without bias, but within “reason.” If interested in such a discussion, please let me know.

Thanks,

Scottperry (talk) 18:19, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

@Scottperry It's probably best people didn't get directly involved in your scheme on Wiki, because the Admins there would not approve of cross-wiki canvassing for proxy editors, but if you want to talk about the general ideas you could come to this Discord. — Dysk (contribs) 18:59, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

Assuming by "Wiki" you mean Wikipedia (what I will call WP), actually this proposal is not intended to initially involve any direct interactions at WP. If my proposal were to work as I believe it would, it would only act to provide a sort of benevolent independent and external "guidance" to what is currently going on over there.

Scottperry (talk) 17:54, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

I`m not Dysklyver fyi, take this up with them. — Oxyaena ^Harass 18:59, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

Actually I did make a post on my own talk page replying in detail to your comment there. I also then made a passing remark on Dysklyver's talk page, in the spirit of his apparent lack of personal interest in engaging me directly regarding the discussion topic, and his apparent preference to engage more in his self appointed role as "Da Law." (To which post he has oddly not yet replied?)

Scottperry (talk) 23:29, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

Maybe some other day... Scottperry (talk) 05:15, 16 August 2019 (UTC)

For. The. Last. Time.

Stop dragging Discord drama into the wiki. I saw your post on Féinléiriú's talk page after I told you twice 1, 2. Please don't allow me to assist you. --It's-a me, 🎄Lefty Green Mario!🎄 00:23, 18 August 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I've noticed you blocked 2607:FB90:9022:1524:0:E:1C33:9601 as a ban evader, but it seems to me that his/her contributions have been constructive and good-faith (reverting the vandalism of user 🕺🤴and commenting on the wall of DuceMoosolini). Am I missing something? --Yisfidri (talk) 05:54, 23 August 2019 (UTC)

Yes, the BoN in question is known troll and cyberstalker Dmorris, I have more information but enough has been said on this topic. If you're interested type in "What a Wonderful World" on the Coop archives. I do not wish to speak of this anymore. — Oxyaena ^Harass 06:59, 23 August 2019 (UTC)

Deletion of a user created sandbox

Hi, I'm that guy from the saloon bar who was talking about writing a university essay on the user page. I think I'd like to delete the user page where I wrote my material, I assume it is possible. So that the material won't be accessible even through fossil records. I'll appreciate your help! Dogeatsdog (talk) 15:47, 3 September 2019 (UTC)

I've already put a deletion template on the user page I'm talking about. Dogeatsdog (talk) 15:48, 3 September 2019 (UTC)

It's gone, you're welcome. — Dysk (contribs) 16:06, 3 September 2019 (UTC)

Thanks a lot @Dysklyver, apologies for bothering you guys! Dogeatsdog (talk) 16:07, 3 September 2019 (UTC)

Discord

Hello mate, I’ve been inactive on RW for a few years and I’ve seen that we have a discord now! That’s cool, would you be able to tell me what’s happening on it? I’d like to join it, but my current discord account holds my real name and I’m a bit iffy about sharing it, so I’d just like to know what’s the server is like. Cheers mate :).—WMS (talk) 00:23, 6 September 2019 (UTC)

I was banned from it long ago, so I don't know its current whereabouts nor do I care to know. I probably wouldn't be the most unbiased source anyways, you'd have better luck asking on the Saloon Bar itself. If you really need to know, the users still on the discord are present on the discord wiki page. — Oxyaena ^Harass 13:23, 6 September 2019 (UTC)

As for your username, the server's public and has no vetting, I recommend changing it accordingly. Also I request that if you go asking about me, don't. I get very irate over what they say about me there. — Oxyaena ^Harass 13:28, 6 September 2019 (UTC)

Alrighty, no worries. Thank you for the info mate. If I join, I promise not to mention anything about you.—WMS (talk) 15:29, 6 September 2019 (UTC)

Thanks. — Oxyaena ^Harass 19:40, 6 September 2019 (UTC)

I ttried hard at selecting this one..

I'm sorry I didn't get to know you better. This is my best guess at a well-wishing card.

Remember who you are. What's inside you is sacred. That is sufficiently less than profound. But Dilly Dally is so good. I'll hopefully be here if you return. Gol Sarnitt (talk) 03:31, 9 September 2019 (UTC)

added short Vikings subsection

I hope you don't mind I added a short bit mentioning feminism in Viking culture: please feel free to adjust it to match tone etc. CogitoNotStirred (via telepathy) (talk) 14:23, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

Looks good, I'll add my personal touch later. — Oxyaena ^Harass 15:53, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

Undid your block

I could be wrong, but I think they just are a weirdo with a obsession about some random minutia of philosophy. Let's see if we can't get them to talk on the talk page. ikanreed ^{🐐Bleat at me} 18:24, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

Pest hall of fame

should we add karlin to the perenniel ratwiki pest hall of fame? alongside morris, elvis, smith, mike, and logicnsuch? seems a good contender to me

Good list. I would also add Grawp and "Nicolas Seuqeira" and those fuckheads from Florida who have an obsession with Pensacola Christian College. Too bad RationalWikiWiki is dead; this would be a good place for such a list. Cosmikdebris (talk) 16:31, 4 October 2019 (UTC)

The fuckheads from Florida are Morris and co, Nicolas is Logicnsuch, and I don't know who Grawp is. Thanks tho. — Oxyaena ^Harass 21:00, 4 October 2019 (UTC)

I think "Grawp" also refers to the Florida squad. God, with every day that passes, I'm more and more ashamed to have grown up in Florida.

DuceMoosolini^{Your friendly RW dictator moderator} 21:05, 4 October 2019 (UTC)

Morris does have a huge amount of socks here. — Oxyaena ^Harass 21:06, 4 October 2019 (UTC)

I know of at least one of the Florida socks that hasn't managed to get kickbanned yet. --Cosmikdebris (talk) 21:52, 4 October 2019 (UTC)

Then do it. — Oxyaena ^Harass 07:26, 5 October 2019 (UTC)

Hey, just wanted to say I appreciate that you did that thing.

I'm used to getting a lot of flak for being a skeptic, so being considered trustworthy means a lot amount to me. Figured I'd at least try to brighten your day by saying thanks. Tyrian (talk) 18:08, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

What the fuck?

Why are you vandal binning non-vandals? Jahub hasn't vandalised anything so why the fuck did you do it? Ace ⁱ⁹ 23:51, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

Because they're a vandal. — Oxyaena ^Harass 07:48, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

Based on what? Ace ⁱ⁹ 08:23, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

Brownpenny

You blocked Brownpenny for 'Excessively trolling talk pages' but the contribs only show one edit. How is that Excessively? Can you link to any other contribs? What am I missing here? Ace ⁱ⁹ 04:51, 21 October 2019 (UTC)

Can you fuck off with your shit. — Oxyaena ^Harass 14:56, 21 October 2019 (UTC)

OK, you have given no valid reason for this so I am removing them from the bin. Ace ⁱ⁹ 19:26, 21 October 2019 (UTC)

Nevermind - Ikanread sorted it. As you were. Ace ⁱ⁹ 19:29, 21 October 2019 (UTC)

I also reviewed that edit. That indef ban for someone who criticized an article, even if it's in that trite garden variety "you're as bad as the other side" style that TERFs and others do, is definitely inappropriate and harmful to the wiki when engagement (or a simple ignore) would actually be far more helpful. Again, this heavy-handedness with dealing with users whose viewpoints you may not like a lot (and I don't either) is a reason (among others) I'm very hesitant wanting to demote you to mod when you recently stated you volunteer to be one. --It's-a me,

🎄Lefty Green Mario!🎄 19:41, 21 October 2019 (UTC)

Removing comments from my talkpage

Please don't. Talk pages are community property and unless comments are libelous, for example, there is no reason to revert them. Ace ⁱ⁹ 19:47, 21 October 2019 (UTC)

Wait, what?

You actually rage-quit because you didn't get your way? Wow..... Ace ⁱ⁹ 01:58, 22 October 2019 (UTC)

Don't push buttons more please. --It's-a me,

🎄Lefty Green Mario!🎄 02:26, 22 October 2019 (UTC)

Hey man, I'm just flabbergasted is all. The guy told me to fuck off on my talkpage so just repaying the favour. As you were. Ace ⁱ⁹ 02:32, 22 October 2019 (UTC)

Gal. — Oxyaena ^Harass 07:38, 22 October 2019 (UTC)

Oh, you came back after a little tantrum. Ace ⁱ⁹ 19:27, 22 October 2019 (UTC)

@LeftyGreenMario. A sensible adult would not be one to continue to poke the bear now, would they? — Oxyaena ^Harass 06:30, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

A sensible adult wouldn't fly into a rage over nothing, post 'fuck you' messages to the guy just trying to get his point across before flouncing off in a huff. But each to their own. Ace ⁱ⁹ 06:48, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

You were sealioning and concern trolling and told me people harassing me are okay to continue being on this site. I don't think that's what a sensible adult would do. — Oxyaena ^Harass 15:01, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

Ace was not. Stop with those accusations; you're treading that line of labeling concern troll and sea lion to those that disagree with you. --It's-a me,

🎄Lefty Green Mario!🎄 19:50, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

You can't label all you detractors concern trolls and sea lions. Commie Lib (talk) 22:39, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

Stop being such a dick

Why are you being such a dick to that new user? Can you just tone it down and explain your rationale outside of dumb comments like “I don’t speak Nazi”? What’s wrong with you? Ace ⁱ⁹ 23:21, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

Ummmm

I am the People's Candidate. Vote for me and nuisance trolls and dipshit Nazis will no longer be tolerated on this platform. That is all. - you realise that isn’t what mods do, right? You should probably have an understanding of what the role entails before taking it on. Ace ⁱ⁹ 18:39, 2 November 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know you're still obsessing over this, as can also be seen by some of your statements on the mod campaigning page. Interesting. — Oxyaena ^Harass 20:03, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

To be fair, the heavy-handedness of banning users is an ongoing issue (again note this post back in July), not just a recent thing Ace brought up and is obsessing over it. --It's-a me,

🎄Lefty Green Mario!🎄 20:15, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

Don't be daft Oxy, this isn't about your block history - it's about what it means to be a mod and mods don't have any special blocking powers. Ace ⁱ⁹ 20:39, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

Sysoprevoke technically makes it so other users can't demote them and then they can't unblock themselves, but otherwise, that's true. --It's-a me,

🎄Lefty Green Mario!🎄 20:41, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

What I mean is unless a user has been brought before the mods for discussion a mod has no more power over who to block than a regular sysop. Ace ⁱ⁹ 20:54, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

Reverts

Hi. The edits you are reverting are not vandalism nor is there any breach of the community standards. There is no rule that says BoN can not endorse and RWRW has pointed out that there is precedent for this. So please stop reverting them. Ace ⁱ⁹ 18:54, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

bons are allowed to participate in the elections here even tho they might by trolls EK (talk) 11:12, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

The Bon 122.56.100.98, whom you recently blocked, has made several dozen edits in the last month or so that are still current. They seem to be ordinary editorial changes. Why the block?Ariel31459 (talk) 15:36, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

Blocks

I have unblocked both 46.7.28.113 and Jaydogg1994. The IP made one edit which did not constituent vandalism as you stated. Jaydogg has a lot of work under their belt and you blocked without even asking what s/he was doing. Please be more careful. Ace ^McWicked 23:39, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

Page Protection

From the Community Standards - RationalWiki generally does not protect pages, except for short periods to stop an edit war. The community feels that, given the ease with which vandalism can be reverted, protection is unnecessary. An exception is that some sysops do protect their own userpage and signatures for peace of mind. Your page protection was unwarranted. Ace ^McWicked 02:04, 28 November 2019 (UTC)

Stop quoting the Community Standards like they're scripture, and try getting on other's cases as well. GC protected the Jordan Peterson page indefinitely for example. — Oxyaena ^Harass 02:05, 28 November 2019 (UTC)

You don't need to protect a page because of a single edit. Ace ^McWicked 02:07, 28 November 2019 (UTC)

Are you using checkuser? Ace ^Moderator 01:28, 30 November 2019 (UTC)

Criminals

If you want to call a living person a criminal (e.g., by the the Category:War criminals) who has not been convicted, you can do you if you cite a news story wherein someone is quoted as saying as much (e.g., see George W. Bush#Torture). We went through some clean up not so long ago about potentially libelous statements on RW of living people. That is the precedent for this.

🎄Righty Blue Luigi!🎄^{(Not a Mod)} 20:23, 2 December 2019 (UTC)

@Ace McWicked hasn't done anything constructive here in years, he's only mod because he's one of the "old guard." I can't do this anymore, Dysk and I labored long and hard to make this wiki a better place and seeing this fucking shit undo it all and everyone be okay with that while I hardly get even a "thanks for all the hard work" while this guy calls me 14, insults me, says "ignoring trolls always works," him telling me being harassed is "my problem" and everyone here is okay with that fuck this shit. — Oxyaena ^Harass 20:27, 2 December 2019 (UTC)

And I suppose people like LGM and myself have done nothing? That we haven't tried to kick serial abusers like DMorris out? That we haven't tried anything, at all, ever? Maybe Ace lacks certain perspective, I'll grant that. Maybe I do as well, I'll grant that. But I and others have at least tried. Maybe it's not enough, I don't know. ☭Comrade GC☭^{Ministry of Praise} 20:38, 2 December 2019 (UTC)

I`m sorry, I recognize your contributions, I just need to take a break. Ace is a bad mod, he just ignores criticism. I at least attempt to respond to it. — Oxyaena ^Harass 20:40, 2 December 2019 (UTC)

You have to learn to not take what Ace is doing so personally. He's not trying to undo what you and Dysk are doing? It's far from that? What has Ace's discussions entailed in? Clarification of the tech role? People enacting a bit milder blocks? I do think he should deal with harassment better, like at least block them rather than tolerate them (but to be fair, he's dealing with harassment a different way, which is to make them seem like they're talking to a wall though I just prefer not to have their comments at all since it clutters and can be a way of validation). And maybe he should also not goad you more either, but, again, you seriously need to approach these situations with a more rational mind. This is RATIONALWiki. --It's-a me,
