sysop

Hi Fruitbat,

You have been a great user on the system and I have given you sysop rights. This means that you can block users that are vandals on the system. If you would like to look up a user's IP address go to the Control Panel and use the tool there. Then go to special pages to go to the block IP form. Please use this feature sparingly. Blocks should only be used for users that are trying to destroy the site and not to censor content.

Thanks,

• Sometimes after you submit it takes you to an "create a wiki page". That is just a problem with the redirect and the block did work.
• Platypus is another user that I granted rights on
• I have already blocked Gaius

• All the 111 pages are disappearing as I delete them. That's why their links are turning red. But there's a lot of them and some still need their content moved back to the pages where they were before C. Mitch attacked the site. --Platypus 08:42, 26 February 2007 (EST)
• There doesn't seem to be any point in banning him since he attacked once and hasn't been seen since. --Platypus 08:44, 26 February 2007 (EST)
• I certainly won't object to having him blocked. --Platypus 10:03, 26 February 2007 (EST)
• Thanks, but I've almost got them all. --Platypus 11:39, 26 February 2007 (EST)
• 'Delete' should be one of the tabs, like 'edit', 'history', and 'protect'.

• Do you have a feeling that Decimus Callilaus (or whatever his name is) was actually Gauis Fleminus and managed to change his IP address or something?

Yes, the Roman name and the censorship thing do seem to indicate that they're either the same jerk or jerks who are part of the same organization of vandals. At least I was able to cut this one off in the middle of his attack.

• I think there must be a group of Roman Empire jerks with nothing better to do than attack wikis. --Platypus 19:10, 6 March 2007 (EST)
• Yes, it's a very good thing we have blocking powers or we wouldn't have a site anymore! --Platypus 20:59, 6 March 2007 (EST)

What is that 70. whatever user doing? He's filling up the entire page with stories he hasen't even started!? *That's a good question. I left talk for him, but I think I'm going to take his unstarted stories off the Main Page. When he does show up, he does very little other than make minor, pointless edits. --Platypus 09:21, 9 March 2007 (EST)

• Good spotting. I missed that the 70. user moved Treguard from Adult to Normal. I'll move it back where it belongs. --Platypus 16:39, 9 March 2007 (EST)

You're right that categories aren't needed for stories with unique status bars, but I like how having a category for each story creates an alphabetical index for that story. --Platypus 16:37, 23 March 2007 (EST)

I agree with Platypus on that one. While they aren't really "needed" for anything, I like the advantages that they provide. Also, if you're only worried about the amount of work it will take, don't worry, because that's not an issue for me. — LastUserNameEver 14:13, 26 March 2007 (EST)

• You were right. Those !!! people did need to be blocked. --Platypus 15:40, 27 March 2007 (EST)

• I don't get what's up with these Secret Island people, either. I warn them, I block them, I even put notes in the pages they're editting so there's no way for them to miss them! And they keep on with this weird business of save-edit-save-edit. At least they're creating actual content, but still... It's bizarre. --Platypus 17:28, 6 April 2007 (EDT)

• When I edit Boromir's Quest, I copy the Status Bar and Category indicator from the previous page. Now two of the pages are listed at the top of the category page and not under their appropirate letter. Can someone explain this to me? Fruitbat

• On the first page, the category bar reads [[Category:Boromir's Quest| ]]. The blank space after the | floats the page to the top of the index. If it read [[Category: Boromir's Quest|Z]], it would alphabetize the page under Z, no matter what the actual page title is. For most pages, it should simply be [[Category: Boromir's Quest]]. With no |, it alphabetizes by itself. --Platypus 17:00, 15 April 2007 (EDT)

Paladin

I am currently creating the story to it. So do you have a plot of the right way through the story, an ending? I ask this just in case I do something which doesn't make sense. Already I melted the Gauntlets of Vengance into The 10 Rings and added a Demon guide and the magics used. So, any? Also are you American? (spelling suggests so) --I Lion Heart I 16:53, 10 July 2007 (EDT)

Input Words

• This 'input these words' thing is new, and it doesn't affect every story. I only encountered it a couple days ago, when I tried to edit a couple pages in Darkened Hope. I haven't seen it happen in any other story so far. I haven't figured out the how or why of it yet. I certainly agree that it's annoying (although it would stop spam-bots from posting). --Platypus 13:13, 6 September 2007 (EDT)

Oh, well. I hope that it will go away soon. Fruitbat

I found an explanantion on the parent site. As I thought, RobKohr added the word-check as a way to stop link spammers. It only comes up when you add or edit pages with external links. Since you use pics from offsite, that triggers the check. To avoid it, upload your pics and use internal image links. --Platypus 16:32, 20 September 2007 (EDT)

Hi I'm new to the site and have already added some lines to stories I liked. I read that you do not want us to add new stories to the main page. As the username I chose implies, my interest is of a more adult nature. I also read your piece on how to create a new wiki. I think i'm stupid because I don't fully understand it. Let me tell you what I want to do, perhaps you could tell me how exactly to do it step by step, including everything that needs to be added. Or tell me that I may not do it at all and direct me to the apropriete sub section. Anyways, I want to create a main link that is called something like brutal rape or something like that. Then Insise it there is a fantacy line for magical creatures and a real line for the normal stuff. Then inside each of these are vaious age limits of the victom, which will obvoisly include less than legal age, up to a limit obviously(PS: I use obviously because i don't really know how to spell "offcourse") The main objective is the pleasure of the attacker, the victoms pleasure is incidental and doen't happen often And yes it is purely about force, rape and domination

Thank you
