How can you delete a page off OUR wiki. what was wrong with it. was it in breach of any regulations. it wasn't attacking anyone or any group. it wasn't overly vulgar or explicit and it wasn't copied from anywhere. on top of that NO ONE views the wiki in question. the page does no harm. Can you please tell me why you removed it here.
ass, vulgar? grow up. C%$#T is vulgar. ass is no longer considered vulgur in mainstream scociety. also how is the page title innapropriate. Intercourse is the single most politically correct way of saying it.
The vulgar language was primarily found in the reply that I removed. Do not disrupt this or harass users any further: I want your legitimate question to Sannse to be answered without incident.
I cannot answer because I am not Staff, I am just trying to mediate this. Sannse will deliver the ultimate response (it's night, so tomorrow perhaps).
which response. also i did not ask anyone else to comment. anything objectionable is as a result of his uninvited input. Also. i just read the terms of use and at no point does the content of the page in question breach those terms.
Perhaps he overstepped his bounds, but your response as a whole was entirely inappropriate. Staff will respond soon enough, now set this minor issue aside: it's closed.
Part of my job is to look at pages that might be outside of our Terms of Use. This includes descriptions of sexual acts. We had a complaint about that page, and when I looked I agreed it went (just) over the line. My choices were: edit the page; remove the page; close the wiki; or add a content warning to the wiki (and probably do one of the first three anway). Deleting the page seemed best
You are welcome to replace it, but please keep it PG13-ish
BTW, Elecbullet is an admin here, asking people to stick to Central's social rules is part of what he needs to do. He watches the whole wiki, not just my talk page (although there are a few people who watch my wall and do a great job of answering faster than I can, where it's not a staff-only issue)
First of all who complained. no one EVER goes on there.
Secondly , can you reinstate the page and highlight the parts you want changed (or put them in italics or something), and then i'll go about changing it. We can't reinstate it ourselves because i am not an admin and all the admins have forgotten their passwords on the wiki and their passwords to their Gmail accounts. So their no help.
Finally, i read the terms of use and i couldn't find anything that suggested i had broken them (Althogh it was only a skim read). can you post the exact passage which states where i have gone wrong.
Also, i may have made some remarks on DeviantSerpants message wall that crossed the line abit. If it hasn't been deleted yet could you possibly see about removing it?
LightningD has contacted the Wikia Support, but they have failed to meet his requests, and banned his second account, despite his explainations.
I am requesting that he please be unbanned as soon as possible. He is a valuable member of our staff, and we would like to have him back as soon as possible. I understand that there may be a limit to what you can do, but as you have helped my wiki in the past, I hoped that you might be able to do something now.
Hi, I've said several times now, that he needs to contact us with a lot more information. That includes links to edits he didn't make, links to edits he did make (go to history, and send the link to the actual diff).
I would also like to know what other usernames he has used, and whether he has ever given access to his account to anyone else (and if so, who?). Also, what email addresses he has used to create accounts.
It would also be useful to know his location, ISP, and whether he has ever edited from another location (or on another computer) from his usual. He should also include any other information that might be useful.
He can put my name on the contact form, to ask whoever gets it to check with me for more background.
Hello! It's me (User:Kaitlyn Dunlap). And this past weekend, I messaged you if you or someone else could disable my old account because of the "Facebook isn't working for Wikia and can't log in" thing and I know it takes a few days but it's almost been a week since this began and I really wanna be with my friends again as they miss me too. I understand if something happened or that you guys didn't get my first message. If you could respond, it would be great :)
Hi, I'm not seeing any support requests from you. Did you use Special:Contact? Or was the message somewhere else?
You don't need your old account disabled to create another account by the way. You can just abandon it, and create a new one. There are times that second (or multiple) accounts are a problem, but this is a fair reason to create one.
Or we can try to recover the account for you. If you email us using the email account asociated with your Wikia account, we might be able to resent the password and get you back in. The email address to write to is community@wikia.com
I tried to use Special:Contact but when I did, it said I needed an account :/ But thank you SO much for responding and that I can make a new account without being in trouble. I was afraid of socking but now that this is a fair reason, I am so happy! Thank you so much! This just made my day overall!
You could of still convinced us Wikia is the better place but any hope of that is done. You talk to us about a rule book yet it seems not to exist. I was considering using Wikia for other projects but not anymore. The global block would of been understandable if you gave a warning but you didn't.
I'm talking to everyone on my talk page on Brickipedia, I'd rather not split the conversation any more than necessary. I'm also talking to TeoMeiko personally, off-Wikia.
Your user page has been flamed on the witcher wiki by an unknown user. I'm sorry I've only just noticed it recently but I think you should still be informed regardless of the fact that this news is a bit late just in case it could happen elsewhere as well. Fortunately the rest of the wiki wasn't touched - it was just your userpage.
I find it to be slightly spammy and unless you are a Wikia contributor then the ads are small but cool. Besides, $20 just to get rid of some entertaining ads?
Guys, it would appear that he objects to apparent pushing of the Ad free wikis program on wikis, rather than objecting to the advertisements themselves.

That was what I was indeed refurring to. The most annoying part is if you are promoted to an admin you can get the ad.

That'd be because it's an admin decision. What, you expected them to let any old user pick and choose?
Of course not! Sheesh, it is not the admin's wiki. They should ask the founder or bearocrat. They don't have the power to change it.
The founder are no more special than any other admins.
Yes, bureaucrats do have higher powers than ordinary admins - I was misusing the terms 'admins' slightly to encompass both groups (my bad).
Wikis are not owned by any one person. They are a collaboration of all users, and any decisions are usually undertaken as a community. At the end of the day, admins (meaning both groups) are there only to serve the wishes of the community.

The admins could be new to the job. Imagine if they signed up but the b'crat got mad because he didn't want that. And besides, these are heavy duty contracts when many of the users aren't 18

Why would anyone be mad about a lack of ads? It's not like the new admin would be forcing the bureaucrat (or anyone else) to pay the fee.
Also, I'm not sure what you mean about "heavy duty contracts".

I just dispise advertisements. I. JUST. DO. It is just me. I consider them spam on my mini wikis. It works with. Advertising different wikis.

Thanks alot. I just am not big on ads on the message wall/talk page. I need them to be friendly communication, a report, or a request. The ads are annoying. On wikimetru wikis, they do not except advertisements. I would just like it to stop. They are simply annoying.
I'm pretty confused too. I haven't advertised the ad-free option for years. It was something we tried a long time ago, and it didnt' really work out. I only really keep it running at all for those who have already signed up
Bioniclezilla76, can you link me to exactly where these talk page/message wall ads are? Thanks
