Vandals
Use this section to list vandals that need discipline. Please add them below and sign ( ~ ) your comments. Include a legitimate reason why they need banning. Just because you don't like someone doesn't mean you can get them banned. Users and IPs that are taken care of will be crossed out like so.

NOTE: Please do not list anonymous IPs if there were only a few minor offenses. If there are major offenses (blanking pages, personal attacks, derogatory/offensive words, inserting loads of gibberish, etc.) then please list the vandals, even if they've only done it once. For registered accounts, list them if their only contributions were vandalism. In this case, it doesn't matter how many times nor how bad the vandalism has been. A vandal account is a vandal account and must be shut down immediately.

Example1: User "Vandal123" made a joke page titled "TITLE HERE". FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 01:49, 10 June 2008 (UTC) Example2: IP 12.345.678 blanked six smasher pages, all members of the same crew. FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 01:49, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Go ahead, talk to me: ask questions, make suggestions, get advice. Just don't spam. KTHNX.

Comment
Stupid comment of mine... Anyway, I liked your "drunk typing can be dangerous" message. (Wolf O'Donnell (talk · contributions) 07:42, 5 October 2008 (UTC))
 * Well, it looked like drunk typing. I mean, fingers weren't even on the home keys. FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 11:28, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Huh?
Hello, Silverdragon706. I'm new here, and a bit confused; you sent me a mesage which said "Please do not make pages for questions.". What page are you referring to? --68.58.123.201 13:52, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

The same happened to me!! :@ K. 69.12.204.107 15:11, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

And Me - Porkulator (look-in Wiki), I wasn't aware I did make that sort of page???

What are you talking about? I'm at the Final Fantasy Wikia, not the SSB Wikia. How could I have made a questions page? Maybe you shouldn't send that message to random IP addresses, now should you? --68.32.149.132 19:39, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * In case you haven't all noticed, you're all IP addresses. Many people can share a single address, so the message may be for someone else. If it doesn't apply, just ignore it. In fact, it'll be easiest if you just make an account so this problem doesn't happen in the future. FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 23:05, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Odd
it said i had new messages, but it wasnt my ip, and i see another user had the same problem69.12.204.107 01:37, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Hey There
Hey there, I'm Squallinoa_08 from the Final Fantasy wiki. I have this great idea for the site that the other users well enjoy. It's called "SMASH ARENA". In the FFwiki site, there is a section called Dragon's Neck Colosseum were the users suggested two characters to go head to head and the users vote for who they think will win. I really thought that it will be a good idea here for this site. So every week, I choose a fight that the fans suggested and the fans will vote. The character with the most votes, wins! The winner gets, well, nothing. It's more like a poll, but voting for who you think will win in a fight. So what do you say? If it's a yes, let me create the section, if not, that ok. So, let me know ok. Bye. Oh, and click on the Dragon's Neck Colosseum link for an example of what my idea will look like. Squallinoa 08 (talk) 14:35, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Some users like to create there own character battle btw. JtM =^&#93; (talk) 14:40, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I know what you're talking about. I've seen a lot of different character "battles" before. It's really up to someone to do that sorta thing, and it's just that nobody has done an official SmashWiki one yet. I don't know how to do that sort of thing, nor do I have the interest to learn how and to do it. If someone really wants to, they can work on getting that started. FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 21:33, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Thats why I suggested it! Leave it to me. I know EXACTLY how to do it! I just need some approval. Squallinoa 08 (talk) 22:36, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Language
Sorry about that. I was undoing that IP's edits while everyone (except Miles, who undid one edit by the same IP) was offline, at school/college, etc. I really had no idea that fruit loop could be taken to be homophobic. So yeah, sorry.  Mario Galaxy  { talk } 21:41, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
 * It's innocent enough if you don't know the context of "fruit" as slang, but it can be taken as quite offensive. Anyway, you shouldn't be calling people names, whether or not they make bad edits or vandalize. FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 21:48, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Well, now that we're past the subject, I'd like to inform that an IP has just made an article called My Question about. The IP wants to know how he/she can contact admins.  Mario Galaxy  { talk } 21:54, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

I marked that page as spam. Zmario (talk) 22:32, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

You knew this was coming
Please note that before I start, I'm doing this not just for friends, but for my conscience. I'm also an Eagle Scout, so if you dislike my leadership advice, then don't take it, it's not really mine : )

Although your recent ban of Blue NinjaKoopa was fair, as much as he says you haven't warned him (I'm sure you have), you have to remember that different people function in different ways. We all have our pet peeves and biases. Believe me, if someone talks smack on retarded people or any religion, I'd (politely) give them a piece of my mind. Your pet peeve (or one of them) is people showing disrespect for minorities, whether it be ethnicity, sexual orientation, etc. I can relate to you on that, but when you are in a position of power, a certain amount of self control is needed when handling things like these. If I were a sysop in your position, I would have gotten on the problem (numerous users, not just BNK, language towards homosexuals) by blocking him quickly instead of giving him repeated warnings (this isn't me saying I'm better than you). Sometimes being firm is OK, you don't have to give a guy a bunch of warnings to show him that what he is doing is wrong. In the wiki's case, a short (a day or so) ban may be appropriate, but a month?

Blue NinjaKoopa means no harm to anybody. He is friends with a homosexual on this wiki, whch proves that he isn't prejudiced. He is a good contributor, an active user, and a good friend, and losing him would be a blow to the wiki. He tells you that you have a hot temper, but in reality, so does he. He may also be a little jealous of your position, but his heart is in the right place. He means no harm to anybody. Yes, his language needs improvement, but Rome wasn't built in a day. You can't expect people to change just because you want them to.

My suggestion is that an etiquette policy should be enforced. All users ought to be held responsible for their actions, but without guidelines, or rules, stuff like this will happen. Also consider shortening BNK's block to a week tops, as the current length is a little unfair if you think about it.

Please consider what I have said, but also realize that I am on your side as far as the block goes, just not the length. I hope that you will accept my opinion as I have accepted yours, and realize that we all have feelings, just different ones. Oh, and don't take this as a slap in the face, rather than a helping hand.  Cheezperson  I don't bite...   Achievemts  01:37, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Look, Blue Ninjakoopa was banned by you, I understand your an admin, but come'on. What did he do to you. Everyone has their own thoughts about you. They all think your a bitch. Thats why their not asking you way you banned Blue Ninjakoopa. Even if your feeling bad because the users are all hating on you doesn't mean you can just ban them. You haven't really done anything to me so I got nothing to say. Just a thought, think about it. --2koolalex (talk) 04:13, 7 October 2008 (UTC)


 * It wasn't just the hateful words, it was also the endless cussing at me, other people, and just total disrespect. If it was the first time that he did this, I would have given him a week. This isn't the first, nor is it the second time that he's been causing the same exact problems. If you ask me, the Wiki won't lose out on much the month that he's gone. FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 06:08, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

It seems like EVERYONE wants Blue back! Zmario (talk) 10:00, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
 * ...wrong. I think perhaps a month was too long, but then, I didn't ban him. Blue's attitude has been progressively worse for a while, to the point I warned him I was sure he'd be banned if he didn't stop. He didn't stop; he was banned. For once (ZOMG!), I'm not going to even think of disputing someone's ban. --Shadowcrest 21:34, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

sig
Hi. I'm here to request you change your signature, because it gives no indication whatsoever of who you are or what your username is. I've recently asked a couple other users to do so, and you were brought up here. Thanks, --Shadowcrest 21:34, 7 October 2008 (UTC)


 * To be clear, FNW, I didn't actually expect Shadowcrest here to actually request this of you. (Now talking to Shadowcrest, sorry for doing it on your space.) I think that most people have no problem with "link-floating" or whatever one wishes to call holding the mouse above a link to see where it goes.  And if you're going to do this for everyone, you should problem hit RJM too.  You see how ridiculous this is?  It's not a problem, and I want to stay on good terms with you, but this is one fight you're inevitably going to lose. {I'm 5280s, and I approve this message.} 21:39, 7 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Plenty of people put a nickname in their signature. Not like I'm impersonating someone else. If it's really confusing, I'll modify it. FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 22:02, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Is this more confusing or less confusing?  User formerly known as Silverdragon706 FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 22:08, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
 * More. {I'm 5280s, and I approve this message.} 22:11, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
 * edit conflict I'm rather well known on another wiki for sig arguments, which, while the change didn't happen, I won the discussion for, with the help of some other people. (PvX's idiocy is incomprehensible; they wouldn't acknowledge reason if it swallowed 3 of their fingers whole.) So even if I do lose, I'll go down knowing I tried.
 * Maybe they don't mind having to link hover. So? While it isn't that hard to rollover a sig, it shouldn't be mandatory.
 * The point of signatures is to immediately identify who it is that made the comment. For example, there was a user on PvX who tried to argue that Tab McPiplup = User:Ibreaktoilets. Ololwut? The intent of the signature isn't to show off - it's to let others identify you without trouble. If they have to turn their head upside down, install 60+ language packs, learn greek, or pull out a magnifying glass, it causes trouble. Using alternate names is like creating a cypher for English that everyone on SmashWiki is expected to know, including new users who don't have a clue what's up. Do you see how ridiculous it is to ask everyone to be able to understand and coherently use both English and Bilgerd? --Shadowcrest  22:15, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I hope this is clear enough, because I'm not going to change my signature anymore. Silverdragon706/FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 22:21, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
 * For what it's worth, I think your original sig was fine. {I'm 5280s, and I approve this message.} 22:27, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
 * (@Shadowcrest) Can you at least concede that sometimes a user is better known by their signed name than their username? I knew about FyreNWater long before I looked up her actual name. Same for RJM. The only reason we don't change usernames is to maintain our contributions list. Let's just say that I always used "Miles.oppenheimer" for everything because I am sometimes forgetful and didn't want to forget my username. Now, I see that I would rather be "5280s" but I want to still use the same account.  That's all. {I'm 5280s, and I approve this message.} 22:25, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
 * If you really care, it would be easier just making a shoepuppet account to solve this than that mess of a signature. In other news: SIGN appears to be a redlink, so you really can't get on his case if he wanted his signature to be something completely irrelevant that changed every time it was viewed. –Entrea Sumatae 22:38, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
