Welcome to the cesspit of the internet. Tetronian ^{you're clueless} 18:48, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Why did the welcome template change and why is your comment in a box? Prometheus 18:02, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

See here for the template system. The comment was because if you start a new line with a space, the text gets formatted like that. I have no idea why, it may be a useful thing but I put it down to a Media Wiki quirk. ^bomination 18:07, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

Demotion to sysop

In honor of you doing a fantasitc job, I've taken the liberty to demote you to the rank of sysop. Here's your mop and bucket guide. The Spikey Punk ^{I'm punking my punk!} 02:09, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

Could you do us a favor, though, and write something (anything!) on your userspace to de-red it? Lord of the Goons ^{The official spikey-haired skeptical punk} 02:11, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

Thank you, but I like the red. Prometheus 18:00, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

I think, if you just like the red signature, there is a MediaWiki way to make one that is red. I think we, generally, prefer people to de-red their userpage so that the user doesn't show up as a redlink on the recent changes. But it's request, not a requirement. Lord Goonie ^{Hooray! I'm helping!} 22:01, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

I second Goonie's request. Tetronian ^{you're clueless} 22:04, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

I like it being red: makes the edits stand out on Rc so we can easily detect the unfunny ones. In cognito 22:13, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

Like I said, it's a request, not a requirement. The Goonie Punk ^{Can't sleep, clowns will eat me!} 22:16, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

The vulture

How is you liver recovering from that one? I am sure Zeus was pretty pissed, but I guess he finially decided to let you go. Javasca₧ my sig is my own opiate! 18:41, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

Blocking vandals/IPs

Please don't. Use the vandal brake instead. Thanks. P-Foster (talk) 15:54, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

Ok boss, if you says so, though I question the wisdom of letting vandals continue to vandalise...

Many do, but that's how we roll. P-Foster (talk) 23:03, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

De-CPification

Removing references to Conservapedia is a good thing (although don't go overboard, the preferred method is to find other examples and add, rather than just remove CP examples which have been done to death). Some people might not like it, but fuck them, they can't see passed their own stalker-like obsession with Andrew Schlafly. ^bomination 08:42, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

If you're referring to Willful ignorance, I wanted to trim CP down to just one example. Which I just did. Prometheus (talk) 08:59, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Yep, that's perfect. ^bomination 09:00, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
