BFDI Wiki Problem
Can you please tell Pp46 to stop his behaviour to SethCardonaReturns and me? Thanks. (The reason why i posted it here is so he doesn't notice this) Bracelety is love. Bracelety is life. NOW GO VOTE HER TO JOIN IDFB!!! (talk) 16:39, June 7, 2017 (UTC)

He also blocked me on the wiki for a infinite amount of time... Derpyunikitty&#39;s Emergency Sock (talk) 10:41, June 13, 2017 (UTC)

Is it possible that you could convince PsiCubed2 im not a troll, he has entirely misinterpreted my blog (Ben's Number) normally this wouldn't bother me, but i'd prefer if he would understand he has the wrong idea about me. But if you cant help fair enough, i will leave you to do admin stuff as this is only a very small un-important problem. Benjamin Simon Clifford (talk) 08:14, July 7, 2017 (UTC)

About something on the BFDI Wiki...
I think that Tantasaur should be demoted. All he does is argue, and argue, and argue.

I don't even know why he needed adminship in the first place, he said he would clean up the wiki, HE DIDN'T.

He also said stuff to derekblue1, and he is acting like he did nothing wrong. Even though he is a admin, he edited someone elses page, and is somewhat using his powers out of porportion.

At this point, he should be a content mod, but he was never ready for adminship. Bracelety is love. Bracelety is life. NOW GO VOTE HER TO JOIN IDFB!!! (talk) 01:18, July 12, 2017 (UTC)

About Superman
Cloudy, you seemed to forget to ban Superman37891's desktop IP. Please fix that. The last thing we need, is this guy coming here with a new user and starting this sh*t all over again.

Thanks. PsiCubed2 (talk) 12:07, July 12, 2017 (UTC)


 * He doesn't seem like he'll create many sockpuppet accounts - if we shut up about him. After his anonymous account is blocked, just shut up - once he realizes that no one cares about his rants about being "cyberbullied" by everyone else, he should stop trolling. [Username5243 apparently forgot to sign here]


 * I really don't care about him continuing his rants as an anonymous user or even as a sockpuppet. I do care about the possibility of him masquarading as "a new member" and using this mask to catch us off-guard and continue wasting our time (and if you check the timing of the events in the past few days, you'll see that something very strange is going on, on that front.


 * I also think the current situation is extremely unfair to the genuine new members who joined recently. We shouldn't need to be on guard and full of paranoia whenever somebody new opens his mouth. Banning Supe's IP will solve the problem once and for all. PsiCubed2 (talk) 14:34, July 12, 2017 (UTC)

I'm new to this wikia.
As i just said, im new. So i really like this wiki, but i have a question. I have 5 googolisms on my notepad and im wondering if you have to do anything before you make a page for them. Thanks.

 * I suggest publishing them using blog posts. You can create a new blog post by going to Special:CreateBlogPage. -- ☁ I want more clouds! ⛅ 09:49, July 15, 2017 (UTC)

Hey Cloudy, would it be allowed to change the homepages "0% of our goal of 10100 articles." to "1.0741x10-94% of our goal of 10100 articles" just thought i should ask for permission as i thought the exact number would show how little of the goal has been achieved. Benjamin Simon Clifford (talk) 09:44, July 18, 2017 (UTC)


 * Go ahead. You can change it. If everybody likes it, that's fine, if somebody doesn't like it, they can revert it. -- ☁ I want more clouds! ⛅ 12:29, July 18, 2017 (UTC)
 * The "1.0741x10-94%" is too precise. If one more article is added, then it needs to change into "1.0742x10-94%"; if many new articles are frequently created, then it needs to be changed also frequently. That's not good. &#123;hyp/^,cos&#125; (talk) 14:57, July 18, 2017 (UTC)


 * Well, I think we could set up an automatically updating value using parser functions... -- ☁ I want more clouds! ⛅ 15:05, July 18, 2017 (UTC)

VANDALISED PAGE

thank you

about time I got blocked  how am i still alive 15:35, August 24, 2017 (UTC)

This gotta stop - NOW
Cloudy176, I respectfully ask that you delete all the offending comments by the various sock puppet accounts of Superman37891 that are peppered across many blog posts.

Starting here:

http://googology.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:PsiCubed2/A_proposal_for_a_new_rule_for_this_community

Really, people should not be allowed to disrupt discussions in this manner: From spamming a discussion with 100+ posts to rude name calling... what's the point of banning the user, if the damage isn't undone? PsiCubed2 (talk) 19:31, August 24, 2017 (UTC)

I agree. I mean, what's the point of banning a user if everyone can still see his rude comments (and spam)?

Of course this isn't always possible - the history of main-space pages that got vandalized still has a link to the vandalized version - but let's at least not make it look like that. If someone's really curious about the vandalism, they can check the history.

Really, we should not be dealing with this. this is, as far as I can remember, the first troll of this nature, who openly disrespects members of the wiki. And, he won't go away: If we block him, he shows up soon under a diferent name. If this persits, we should get a range-block on the IP addresses he uses. This offends me a lot, but it must really affect Psi, becuase it seems a lot of his attacks are aimed at you.

In summary, this guy needs to stop, NOW. I wouldn't mind a range-block now, in fact. Username5243 (talk) 19:37, August 24, 2017 (UTC)


 * He isn't the first.


 * I'm here for less than a year, yet even I remember other people who did similar things.


 * The difference is that those previous trolls were efficiently dealt with by the admins. Their offensive comments were deleted indiscriminately.


 * With Supes, for some reason, the admins give him a crazy amount of leeway. And for the life of me, I don't understand why.


 * And User, I don't really care about the personal attacks against me. I do care about disrupting our community. Really, when we have a situation where people start accusing random new members of being a witch... ehm, I mean, of being Superman37891, that's a sign that things have really gotten out of hand.


 * And you know something? I'm not even angry at the troll kid. I'm fully aware that he simply doesn't know any better. He is stupid and immature and it isn't really his fault.


 * The thing that does drive me crazy, is that nobody else seems to care. Cloudy treats these offenses as if they are some big amusing joke... But it isn't funny at all, when a discussion I've opened is suddenly spammed with 100 irrelevant posts. No, Cloudy, the proper response to this kind of behavior is not to tell a joke about it on your talk page. The proper response is to delete the offending posts (and after you actually do your f***-ing job, feel free to crack up any jokes you wish). PsiCubed2 (talk) 20:22, August 24, 2017 (UTC)
 * By the way, Username5243, blocking such a guy completely is technically impossible. If you try to "block a range of IP's" you'll end up blocking thousands of innocent people who are using the same ISP/mobile company.
 * By the way, Username5243, blocking such a guy completely is technically impossible. If you try to "block a range of IP's" you'll end up blocking thousands of innocent people who are using the same ISP/mobile company.


 * Fortunately, the solution is simple: Revert all vandalisms as they happen. That's how we keep the main space clean, and the same practice would work for blog posts and comments as well (the only difference is that comments can only be deleted by an admin, while mainspace vandalisms can be reverted by anyone). PsiCubed2 (talk) 20:31, August 24, 2017 (UTC)


 * That is really crazy. I found out 'Show new accounts only' was the same in all user pages. I was wrong and Username is right. Googleaarex (talk) 20:43, August 24, 2017 (UTC)

The reason I spent so much time on this wiki is respect for it and its users, because when I first met it a year ago, at first it made the impression of a really serious site. If at that first moment I would have seen spam-trolling-vandalism and rude low-quality jokes, I would not waste even a minute for the site. Perhaps because of what is happening now, we are losing people - potential members - who could bring good contribution to the wikia but were disappointed and leaved it as I would have done. So this is a much more serious problem than it might seem at first --Denis Maksudov (talk) 23:18, August 24, 2017 (UTC)


 * Exactly, Denis.


 * And it should be noted that on any semi-serious wiki, this problem would have been a non-issue: The offending posts would have been deleted, and that would be that.


 * It's not as if the guy's trolling is cunning or sophisticated. He is just a bored kid venting out frustration, which is a situation that wikis have long since adapted too.


 * So the current situation basically scream "the admins (and the majority of the regular members) don't care about this place". Which - by the way - is a far scarier thing for a newcomer than the actual trolling.


 * BTW I see that there is a new surge completely nonsensical blog posts by various new members. I see no difference between this kind of spamming and other kind of trolling, and I'm really getting tired of this place looking like a playground of 3-year-olds. PsiCubed2 (talk) 06:41, August 25, 2017 (UTC)

So, here's my explanation about all of these:

As far as I know, this is the first time a vandal/troll used the comments frequently to post disrespectrul messages towards users. There were users who created unsourced articles in the mainspace (such as the "Hisham Shakeel" guy who created many new accounts to create unsourced articles), but most of them ended at that point.

On the other hand, this one goes way further than that. I had no experience about what to do if I met this kind of vandal, and because of my personal philosophy that deletion of material from the public should be kept to a minimum, I left the comments and talk page messages there. I did clean up the mainspace though, as it's important for the wiki and that's all there's needed to do for most vandals. Apparently for this one this wasn't enough, so I decided to adopt a new policy and deleted those comments.

I wanted to make this wiki a better place. That's all I want. -- ☁ I want more clouds! ⛅ 07:39, August 25, 2017 (UTC)


 * I hear yea. Unfortunately that's how these things go. The nicest people are the easiet prey and the first to be taken advantage of.


 * And I fully agree with your philosophy in general. But once it is clear that a guy is coming here for the sole purpose of stirring trouble, you can no longer afford to be nice. These guys will spot your weakness and take advantage of it.


 * Speaking of which: I see you haven't deleted all the relevant comments. I hope that this is due to your limited time, and that you plan to delete them later. No problem with that. Take all the time you need. Just don't leave the job half-done indefinitely, okay?


 * (BTW the blogs here are - IMO - the place where all the interesting work is done. That's where we hang out and discuss googology. That's where all the good stuff happens. So for this specific wiki, "comment vandalism" is just as big a concern as mainspace vandalism) PsiCubed2 (talk) 10:42, August 25, 2017 (UTC)

Something unrelated
Why did you ban me? I'm not a sock. Why does everyone think I'm a sock? You can even run and IP check between us. The best person on this wikia 05:40, August 25, 2017 (UTC)

Hello! I have a question. Can I create the template for numbers from 100-199? I'm asking because once it was deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Unknown95387 (talk • contribs) 12:29, August 25, 2017 (UTC)
 * No, because the current concensus is not to create all the pages for numbers from 100 to 199. -- ☁ I want more clouds! ⛅ 12:31, August 25, 2017 (UTC)

More vandalism
A new account showed up and created a page called "P***ING CONTEST" (name has been censored). It had inappropriate stuff on it, but Aarex seems to have blanked the page (except for a deletion tag someone put there). This guy doesn't seem to be acting like Superman did, but still, this kind of inappropriate stuff should not be allowed on here. Can you please delete this page and block this guy? Username5243 (talk) 21:30, August 26, 2017 (UTC)


 * Page was deleted by LittlePeng9, however the associated accounts haven't been blocked. So I blocked them as well as deleting some more pages. -- ☁ I want more clouds! ⛅ 10:09, August 27, 2017 (UTC)
