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 and added gibberish to the article "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.

Arod2 made a spam page about Dora the Explorer. He needs a ban. Zmario (talk) 12:40, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Got him. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 14:35, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

KingRanter posted "Tiers are for queers!" on a forum that didn't involve tiers. Sure, we spoke of them briefly, but the forum is mainly about Sonic. Maybe you should warn him? - GalaxiaD (talk) 20:00, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Mew234‎ made a spam Smasher Page which is about his friend telling him about unlocking mr. game and watch. It is called: Smasher:How to unlock mr game an wache in meleeZmario (talk) 14:04, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Christ, I can't tell if that user is really that lost/confused/dumb or just trolling... FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 20:14, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty sure that he's a vandal. I had to ban the account Mew1 last week for making joke pages, and this guy's complete lack of spelling/grammar matches up with the writing on those old joke pages.  And it looks like he's figured out that he can still make his talk page into a joke page, even while banned.  Is there anyway to stop that?  Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 01:08, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Protect the targeted talk pages to the level of "sysop only". It should work, if I'm not mistaken. Then when it dies down, just delete the page. FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 06:42, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Sideways 360
For some reason, User talk:Sideways 360 is blocking all edits, and I don't know how to report a problem. - Gargomon251 (talk) 01:36, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

This is the error message: The following text is what triggered our spam filter: user talk:sideways. I believe that it could be due to a glitch in the server, OR I'd suggest checking the logs, if you wish. Deletion log, protection, etc. (Wolf O&#39;Donnell (talk) 03:05, 6 June 2008 (UTC))
 * This kid is also going around putting his signature on character pages. As he's blocking his talk page, I can't tell him to stop, but it's getting old having to delete his signature from all these pages.  Clarinet Hawk (talk) 20:30, 6 June 2008 (UTC)


 * The talk page isn't blocked, there's some weird glitch that prevents it from being made entirely. I'm trying to get around it, but nothing works. No blank pages, no moving pages, nothing. I suppose you could just tell him on his userpage, as he asked. FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 01:32, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

A favor to ask
I am currently up for sysop nomination. As you are the sysop that I have worked the most with, I would very much like your opinion on my request. If you could give feed back on the request page, that would be most appreciated. Thank you. Clarinet Hawk (talk) 03:15, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Pros and Cons
For the Prso and Cons of each character, do we only include things that are Pro-ish or Con-ish in a standard Brawl, or also things like their usefullness in the SSE or Multiman Brawl? Ike6481 (talk) 11:01, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
 * It can be anything that you think is important enough information to share with other people. If you're unsure, make a new section in the article's talk page and ask if [insert your info here] is relevant enough to add. Also, remember that it should be fact, not opinion. For example, "DK does well in 15-Minute Melee" is a valid addition, but "DK is a stupid monkey" is not. FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 19:28, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

An old category...
It's recently come to my attention that there are two categories that include all of the event matches in SSBM. The main one, in which all event matches being with "Event #:" and this one. The main one is much better written and uses a much more readable template and design. Also, having the numbers keeps the event matches in the order that they are listed. In the other category, they are not preceded by a number, and in some cases are preceded by SmashWiki:Merge/. For the ones that are not preceded by SmashWiki:Merge/, I have redirected them to the relevant article, except in the case of a typo. For the others, I think it would be best to simply delete them as no one is going to search them by the name SmashWiki:Merge/Girl Power, etc. The whole category could also probably go because there are much more functional event match categories. I'd do this myself, but I obviously don't have the ability to delete pages... Clarinet Hawk (talk) 23:44, 8 June 2008 (UTC)


 * The thing about the SmashWiki:Merge/ pages is that they're residual pages from when the Smash Bros Wikia and SmashWiki merged a while back. I'm not sure what happened, but I don't know why they're still around. I've chosen to leave them alone because I don't know what I'd end up doing!
 * As for the numbered ones, I believe they're all the Brawl matches. I suppose people can start changing the Melee ones to fit the style. FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 00:42, 9 June 2008 (UTC)


 * All of the Melee matches are numbered as well. Clarinet Hawk (talk) 01:09, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Sorry About the Rick Roll
Yeah, it was an immature practical joke. Sorry. I just thought it'd be something funny to do, since everyone's getting Rick Roll'd nowadays. If you must know the truth, I too have fallen victim to the Rick Roll fad. Still, it does count as spam and I apologize to anyone who might have gotten Rick Roll'd yet. LOL, yeah. I know I didn't do it right. How do you link to videos on YouTube? - GalaxiaD (talk) 02:48, 10 June 2008 (UTC)


 * The same way you link to any other outside webpage. Wikipedia becomes Wikipedia. FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 05:07, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

That chart of yours is cool.
You know that chart at the top of your page? How do you do one of those? I wanna put one on my userpage.Whoop forgot to sign. --GDawg816 (talk) 18:08, 12 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about. Do you mean the ASCII text, the Archives Box, or the table of contents? FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 23:14, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Nevermind somebody on the help page already told me. --Sonic&#39;s the name, speed&#39;s my game!&quot; (talk) 13:00, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Broken Record?
LOLZ. Your speeches for X2i and TheSilenceOfNoOne are in the exact same wording! Seriously, they both have the EXACT same words! What's up with that? - GalaxiaD (talk) 23:41, 12 June 2008 (UTC)


 * LYK LOL ITS CALED COPYPASTA. FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 23:42, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

hey
ummm I really think that the coin mode (in versus) is in definent need of clean-up. you think it should have a tag on it? Kperfekt722 (talk) 05:12, 13 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Anything that you think needs clean up can be tagged. When the quality gets better, the tag can be removed. FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 05:54, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

My Word Bubble Template
Please Un-delete it. Also my random quotes template. I don't want to write (And thats not even all of it...) Every time I want to talk on a talk page.

PS - The same with my random quotes template. It took me a looooooooong time to make that. Uber Phoeb  14:30, 18 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Last I checked, personal templates weren't really allowed. FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 20:43, 18 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Not in all the wiki's i'm from. I know that I'm new, and you don't know much about me, but that template is the only template I know of that is used only for personal use... if you think about it, you couldn't find any other use for it. What about the smasher and crew templates? I used that for myself... also, if you reverse the delete... I can make you one that looks sweet ;D Uber  Phoeb a b c 14:07, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Many people are asking for one, and I just have to keep saying "No, it's against the rules.", but everyone wants them, so please, can this be the one thing the is a loophole? Uber  Phoeb a b c 16:21, 20 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Maybe you should go ask Charitwo. If anyone knows the rules about personal templates, it'll be Charitwo. FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 20:53, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I will do that Uber  Phoeb a b c 00:42, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

About Kperfekt
Kperfekt DID personally attack others, but now he has mellowed out. I think it was kind of harsh of you to block him for a week when he's been good for the past 2 weeks. He's changed I tell ya! - GalaxiaD (talk) 16:22, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I concur. Zmario (talk) 18:19, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I took off the ban. This is what I get for being gone for a week... <__< FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 20:40, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Kperfekt did the same in the wiki I'm most active in. First he seemed nice, then when he got a bunch of grief from everyone for messing up the edits, he got all mad. Zmario should know, he's part of the same wiki. Uber  Phoeb a b c 14:45, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry but what wiki would that be? Kperfekt722 (talk) 23:01, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

By The Way
I erased all of CaptainFalcon SSBM startegies. They were way to messed up. I am going to rewrite them so it will be much neater. Zmario (talk) 12:49, 19 June 2008 (UTC) !!!


 * Before you do that, I suggest you add them to the respective fighter pages, i.e. Brawl strategies on his SSBB fighter page, Melee strategies on his SSBM page, etc. FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 18:18, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Sandbagging
Hey. just wanted to ask why the sandbagging page was deleted. It seems like pretty important info. If it isn't, then its my fault cause i dont exactly know what sandbagging is. --AcidSnakeFalcon0079 (talk) 22:09, 19 June 2008 (UTC)


 * It was decided that it was a personal nickname and not very widespread. If it changes, we can always remake the page. FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 20:54, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Didn't that page just go up today? Kperfekt722 (talk) 23:13, 21 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Apparently it's a valid term now? I have no idea. FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 06:54, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Can Admins Block Admins?
I hope so, because RJM is irritating me to no end. If you can't punish him, could you at least talk with him? I'm really starting to get steamed. - GalaxiaD (talk) 23:04, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Galaxia don't forget what he put on our sysop nominations!!! Zmario (talk) 23:27, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Oh grow up, Rita's ten times the SysOp that either of you will ever be. Like they always say, if you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen. -- RJM Talk 23:32, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

What kind of crack-pot saying is that. Learn to come up with REAL comebacks. Zmario (talk) 23:52, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

I second the motion to him getting a "stern talking to" XD Kperfekt722 (talk) 23:53, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Rita's also ten times the Sysop then you'll ever be, RJM. And here's how I can prove that you are unnecessarily obsessed with sticking to the "Conventional" stuff. You put SysOp. Short for Systems Operator. All the normal people, on all the official pages, it is Sysop. I mean, what is the need for a capital O? Ike6481 (talk) 23:56, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

I don't mean to be "that guy" but why are we arguing on rita's page? can't we prove our arguements on RJM's page since it "doesn't take up more space"? :) Kperfekt722 (talk) 23:59, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Actually, unless he archives the page we can't talk without having massive lag. Zmario (talk) 00:00, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

We're talking on this page because it's where the convo began. We couldn't possibly move it. Who would understand???Ike6481 (talk) 00:01, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

GOOD ONE! but what i meant was that he would get more lag afterwards if we talked ONLY on his page, further proving my point. and where did galaxiaD go? Kperfekt722 (talk) 00:03, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

i was gonna say he got blocked but we would have seen th block thing on recent edits. He might have slept of anything. I don't know what his time is where he is at. Zmario (talk) 00:05, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

All of you, stop it. This is not the page to be talking about this, and Randall's comments, while blunt, do not in any way shape or form merit a ban. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 00:09, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Man, you guys are persistent and just asking for trouble. Tell you what, I'll try and explain one more time that I don't do petty conflict and don't dish out personal insults and that my purpose at SmashWiki is solely community-oriented, acting in the interest of the project as a whole. Now, setting aside for the moment that you guys quite often seem to prove my points in your own rebuttals, I would like to present you with an opportunity to read everything that I've written today (if you can find it all) in the context of the SmashWiki community as a single entity, aiming to ultimately produce an online catalog of all Smash Bros.-related information in an intuitive and user-friendly manner. In the meantime, I'm gonna go outside, have a beer and enjoy the weather. *peace* -- RJM Talk 00:17, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Hey, guess what. It's shut up o'clock. Everyone needs to stop cluttering my talk page with angry stuffs that I could care less about. FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 06:52, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Sysop Nominations
We seem to have a bunch of people who are up for sysop that are just getting their friends on the wiki to support them, even though none of the sysops do. I went ahead and closed ParaGoomba's nomination as there was just no way that a kid that has been her for only ten days is going to be a sysop. As for the others, I would feel more comfortable deferring to sysop who has been here longer to make those kinds of decisions. Most of the "supports" that people had are things about the number of edits (even when that number is small) rather than the quality or area of those edits. In my opinion, the only person on that list who should be considered is Gargomon, and possibly Pikamander. The others are just too new or, in Zmario's case, just not sysop material. I've made my case about these issues on the request page, but I though I'd run it by another admin before any decisions were made.

Oh, and on a totally unrelated note, sorry about all th crap that was going on with your talk page last night. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 04:14, 24 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, it's their right to be able to run. I guess all we can do is vote against it and make sure nobody not fully qualified gets the spot. Also, no need to apologize. It was rather entertaining to watch so much drama unfold over petty stuff. FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 06:44, 24 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Entertaining if you weren't the one trying to clean up the whole mess. Did you read all the stuff on Randall's talk page, and all of their talk pages, too?  Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 14:45, 24 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Nope, I try to stay away from internet drama. FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 01:34, 25 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I get it. You just leave it for the new guy to sort out...lol.  Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 03:38, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Weird
This is probably gonna sound weird from me, or a waste of time. However, I loved your comment. Absolutely genius, I'm still laughing. Its shut up o'clock.
