Wikipedia has "Simple English Wikipedia"
Is there any chance RWW will ever create a "Simple Drama RationalWikiWiki", for those who find digging up even the simplest dirt headache-inducing? 76.105.223.232 01:14, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Better get cracking on making the shift to CC-BY-SA, let Nx or I know when you are ready and one of us can set the LocalSettings.php file to point to CC-BY-SA, the other notices will need to be edited by hand.

If I have to do this I am going to be pissed. Someone take charge damn it. 216.221.87.112 18:42, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
- Who ferinstance? PH seems to have vanished. 94.197.138.241 02:37, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
- Screw it then let the place rot. 216.221.87.112 03:00, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
- Simple enough to do it by fiat, I suspect. Load "all images". Change all to CC-BY-SA. Change "site" copyright warnings. Done. Are there even many images here? humanbe in 04:48, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
- Yah, "gallery of new files" fits on one lousy page. humanbe in 04:49, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
- OK, pisswad, there are now no gfdl images on this site. Heck, there are barely any images on this site! I PD'd, CC-BY-SAd, or deleted everything in sight. Nao pleez to change site copyright info from GFDL to Cubic Centimeters BY Sacred Arcs, mkay? humanbe in 05:08, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
- I believe that that was Trent who you called a "pisswad". Theemperor 18:46, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Pisswad aside, I changed whatever that hell that was on the copyrights page to standard CC-BY-SA text and changed the settings of the wiki to reflect the new copyright status. In no way shape or form is this action to be construed that I have any official involvement with this wiki or sanction any of its content, etc. Tmtoulouse 17:26, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks on behalf of whoever is in charge around here. I just wanted to help clean up your hard drive ;) humanbe in 23:59, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
- Well, someone had to clear up both sites. Armondikov 00:33, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
Um... Sorry... I was on holiday...

- I hasten to point out that my control of the site extends merely to bureaucracy; I was never given server access. 20:00, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
IP editing
Why can't IPs edit? -- Nx / talk 08:44, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
- Not true. 99.57.160.198 16:05, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
Temporarily close down account creation?
Due to excessive trolling, can I please turn off account creation and IP editing for, like, the next two weeks? Pretty please? (It's not like we'll be snubbing mobs of people who would otherwise be editing—we get about one legit new editor signing up every week, and one legit IP edit once every couple days.) Hans Johnson I'll get my hans on it 12:15, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
- I am already going to shut down account creation and IP editing for the night, so that way I can come back to this page tomorrow and not have it covered in MC's shit. Hans Johnson I'll get my hans on it 12:17, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
- I don't really see the need, but since you're going to do it anyway, can you leave a note here confirming when it will be turned back on &/or a system for requesting account creation in the meantime - e.g. new editors could request an account at a designated page in RW (like here)? weaseLICIOuS Bite Me 18:20, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
- You do rather tend to get into fights, and this way of resolving your battle does seem a bit draconian. But I'm not around to fix things and you have the power to do this. I do think you should at least update the policies so that your actions are in line with policies though.--False Flag 21:42, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
- I, personally, don't see the point in disabling account creation as a means of stopping MC's trolling unless you intend for it to be a permanent change. MC has shown time and again he'll go above and beyond the call of duty to troll wherever. more to the point, I have a felling that recent policy dealing with him (blocking him, archiving his posts, protecting trolled pages) did more to discourage him than you think. Also, if we disable account creation for a limited perisod of time (2 weeks for example), what makes you think that won't feed the troll that way; where he comes back with new ammunition because he knows we did that in his acknowledgment? Trust me, I think our recent ways of handling him are the best possible practice, so long as nobody caves into his bullshit. His recent spats are the dying gasps for the life of his trolling here. MNpunkboy 22:34, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
- Having heard your rather irritatingly defeatist "nay, but you'll do whatever you want anyways" statements, I have re-enabled IP editing and account creation. Hans Johnson I'll get my hans on it 01:09, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
- Cool. Trust me, if we stay the course, things should turn out fine. MNpunkboy 02:09, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

The HCM involving MC
What should we call it, and what level of HCM did it reach? I, personally, think it made it as far as HCM2, maybe even HCM 3, but I want feedback. MNpunkboy 03:42, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
- HI Goonie! As my last post indicated, I want to adopt a diplomatic approach. I laughed when you reverted my last edits, despite me being the epitome of good behaviour. Will you please try and engage in a dialogue? Its much more fruitful than this ego enhancing back and forth.
- While itgoes against my better judgement, I see no harm allowing you to try said approach. But I'm warning you: I will not tolerate anymore of your usual bullshit. MNpunkboy 14:44, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
- A gentleman! My my, I see you've developed a sense of decency, at last! I wonder how long you'll maintain this hard guy image on the interweb? Its very droll, if you are (As I suspect) being ironic. But anyway, back to the point at hand; I have a few 'demands', not entirely unreasonable. All I want is for my accounts to be unblocked. The sole and single reason for this demand is that Hans Johnson knowlingly broke the site rules when he decided to block me for trollery; and to add insult to injury, linked to a page where he himself broke the site rules, if indeed 'trolling' is against the rules of this site. My trolling may be colourful at times, even downright offensive, but I do take pride in my work. I will not allow my good name to be tarnished with the insult of 'vandal'. I will not allow you to keep me banned from this site. I promise you that if I am unbanned then I WILL PROMISE TO STAY AWAY AND NEVER POST ON THIS SITE EVER AGAIN. The only reason I am still here is because you have given me a valuable grievance, and because I am bored. Take that grievance away and I will have no reason to stay here. Hans should learn that I am possibly the most dedicated troll on the internet, I will keep my presence here for as long as is necessary. On the flip side, I will also lose interest in RW; you should've noticed that all I've resorted to doing there is trolling anywhere RA makes a tit of himself. If he removes the grievance he gave to me here, I will lose interest in him there. This really is win win for you; unblock me, and I lose interest both here and on RW. Hence I'll be out of your hair for ever.

- Give it a trial run. Unblock my accounts and if I should return and post under any of them accounts then feel free to indefinately block me. I PROMISE I WILL NOT GO BACK ON MY WORD. You can quote this message if you like.
- I'll let ye mull over this message over christmas. THough please have the balls to either allow this to remain or respond - don't behave like an authoritarian dullard please. While that behaviour is deliciously droll, I do worry over the slim possibility that you are actually behaving like an internet tough guy on purpose, and are unaware how ridiculous that makes you look if the whole act is genuine. 86.45.218.195 15:42, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
