[edit] Lockdown

I've disabled editing for non-janitors because I don't have the time to deal with this moronic vandal. If someone wants to babysit the wiki I can enable it again. -- Nx / talk 21:38, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

When will it be re-enabled? An hour or two or three maybe would be the most I'd think it would take to deter a script kiddie. Conficker 21:41, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

I've lifted the lockdown and installed the vandal brake to slow down the vandal. -- Nx / talk 21:46, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

Cool. I'm sure their orgy of fun is over at this point anyways. Conficker 21:48, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

[edit] TK's RW socks.

Our of curiosity ... has anybody noticed if any middle or high ranking RW editors stopped editing at the same time that TK stopped editing CP? Because, well, you know ... --False Flag 17:33, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Hmmmmm..... Well, there was Nx.... Punky McPunkersen 18:06, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Mmmmmm. The death certificate is December 17. So going to have to doubt that as Nx's last post was 29 Jan. I checked Marcus as well ... But his last post was in Jan 1.

Any other ideas?--False Flag 18:19, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Fall down? Punky McPunkersen 00:12, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Checkuser. Armondikov 00:26, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Using checkuser on RationalWiki (or its equivalent, combing the server directly) would set off a massive HCM of unheard of proportions. Radioactive afikomen 09:44, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Check Larron's user graphs for Dec/Jan. If an editor suddenly drops off the radar in Jan, it might be a TK sock. He might have been using proxies to edit anyway, because his last ip address was blocked. --Psygremlin 12:22, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

A quick glance at a few of the active users' contribs brings up A Whiter Shade of Pale and Agamemnon as two low-volume editors who stopped round about then. I got as far as Captain Obvious before stopping, if anybody else wants to continue. SuspectedReplicant 13:20, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

All of those are socks of Human. Liveware Problem 18:13, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

I know. Why do you think I even suggested it? Armondikov 19:15, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

I always suspected that ConservapediaRoolz was a sock of TK. Refugee 23:37, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

[edit] If/when we get LQT.....

I think that I'd like to open the discussion here about LQT, since I know some folks don't like it. If this site finally gets LQT installed (which wouldn't be until after I get this site from the RW Foundation and move it to its own hosting and get all settled in afterwards), I wanna know what everyone thinks should happen with implementation. First and foremost, I don't want LQT on talkpages that don't want it (we should especially give userpages the option of opting out). BUt, anyways, let's actually open the discussion about what those dozen people that come here think about LQTT on this site. Punky McPunkersen 23:25, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

I think it should be set up like it is on RationalWiki right now. I, personally, am not a complete fan of LQT like everyone else here seems to be. So I think we should make it an available option for pages, but not go all gaga (and I don't mean Lady Gaga) over the prospect of installing LQT on every page here. Conficker 23:58, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

I agree with Conficker, the real question is main page talk and the tree house. Tyrannis 00:01, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

Can I put my oppose here now? Rrose Selavy 19:11, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

Sure. Ty 19:29, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

Don't forget to put it here as well! :) Ty 19:31, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Random featured article

Sometimes the random featured article is a load of massive banners and boilerplate things with he text far below it. Cover stories need moar noinclude and includeonly stuffs. Rrose Selavy 19:10, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

I'll see what I can do. Ty 19:29, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

Need to wait for cache to clear, but I moved the awards to a separate section, I'll see what happens. Ty 19:51, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

[edit] New RWWWW WIGO!!!

Because RWWW reached 100 WIGOs. Hey, if I don't linkspam, nobody will ever know... SuspectedReplicant 22:27, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

I saw. Stop referring to LP as an it. Ty 22:28, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

I've done it once so it's hardly a habit. Besides, where is it specified that it is a she? SuspectedReplicant 22:34, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

Look at her talk page. Ty 22:38, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

Christ, don't YOU start being a dick. It's not on the user page, and it's not obvious anywhere else. SuspectedReplicant 22:44, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

Sorry :< LP is Blue. I thought everybody knew that by now. Ty 22:48, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

I didn't know that. I'm afraid I don't know all the RW<->RWW personalities. Sorry for getting wound up, but with everything else that's going on right now, I'm feeling a tad defensive. SuspectedReplicant 22:50, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

This hit during finals. FINALS. I have another one in two hours, on Puerto Rican crack dealers. I'm just a tad bit upset, ya know? Ty 22:52, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Block policy has been updated

New block policy.

We never followed the old version, anyways. The new one is closer to how things are actually done, with a few suggestions to temper the wheel-warring. Hans Johnson _{I'll get my hans on it} 18:28, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Please pass on this message

I am retiring. Somone hacked my computer and broke it maliciously. I suspect it was a rationalwikian, but it could well have been anyone on the internet as I've a bit of a reputation for crossing people and wrecking their delicate internet ego's. In response to this kind of terrorism, I submit. Like the Japanese after Hiroshima and Nagasaki, I surrender. Please ensure everyone knows that this event has now occured. Rationalwiki can continue its path down a narrow and boring road of becoming 'just like any other site' on the internet.

Goodbye forever.

[edit] The "Random Featured article"

Thing seems to be top heavy in SusanG and TK. Is this on purpose or do I just have shitty luck in what i get shown?--Mikal 16:58, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

Clear your cache. If you have suggestions for new material, let me know. Tyrannis^{An iron, yet caring fist} 17:07, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
