Questionable Edits
User Sean683 has been making what appears to be bad edits. Thanks in advance for looking into it and taking the necessary steps. SquazzilTalk 17:09, August 17, 2014 (UTC)

New emoticon suggestions
'Feel free to suggest new chat emoticons in this section! --Oscuritaforze (talk)'

You once said, a while back, that if we wanted new emoticons we would just have to suggest them at your ttalk page. So I finally got myself to make a better alternative to the emoticon that is currently under :D. I think replacing it would be a bit harsh, so maybe this one could be put under ;D and because its eyes are sparkly, maybe under (spark).

(XD), so people who just want to say XD don't get mad.

I hope I'm not bothering you too much with these: D;

I made on for when you need to give someone a disapproving look and words just won't cut it. For when saying "Uhh... Could you, maybe, not do that?" is not enough. (canyounot), or (uh) / (not). I'm not really sure about the combination.

Forze could you get a bug one for me :P

 * All of the above emotes have been added. Oscuritaforze (talk) 08:54, August 19, 2014 (UTC)

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. Thanks Forze for adding a Bug Emotion for Chat.

I made another one. >:D or something. Maybe >;D so people can still type out >:D regularly.

(Ha!) is also a possibility.

Impersonator
Tonight at approx. 10:20 PM Central time, we had an impersonator in chat. His name was TERRARIAMCSWAGGINS2. He said nothing but various explicit words. I banned him indefinitely, but fear he may take revenge on the wiki.

 * I'll keep an eye out. Oscuritaforze (talk) 03:30, August 20, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I'll be going now, as it's late. Have a good night, and good luck. There hasn't been any activity from him that I can see (I always put a feed on my profile) but I'm nervous. Thanks.

 * is back. No doubt it is the same person anyway. Freenight (talk) 12:29, August 24, 2014 (UTC)


 * Yeahhhhh, do you mind blocking this guy, Forze? I kinda don't wanna an impersonator lurking around the wiki. Especially if the impersonator is up to no good. >_>

Question
Recently, Nadie the vulkrie was banned from chat. She then came on using a sockpuppet, Veridie (Veridie is continuing Nadie's story line). Should we allow her to continue circumventing this ban with her sockpuppet, or ban the sockpuppet?

Swag and I were divided on this, and so I decided to ask. I banned the sockpuppet, but he unbanned her, so it would just dissolve.

Silver  (talk) 03:14, August 23, 2014 (UTC)


 * Disregard the previous message; apparently her main account's ban was unjust, as she was using an alt for non-evasion purposes.  However, I had a question: should we add our policy on alts (from what I've heard, unacceptable to impersonate or troll without fear of banning the main account, or to circumvent a ban, yet acceptable for non-malicious purposes) to the chat guidelines?


 * Silver  (talk) 03:22, August 23, 2014 (UTC)


 * To answer the first question anyway: I think it depends on why the "Nadie the vulkrie" account was banned to begin with. Looking at the chat ban log, it was banned because she wasn't using it as her main account at the time. If that was the only reason she was banned, then no, I don't think any of her accounts should be banned. If there was another, unlisted reason for her ban, then I think the bans on both of her accounts should stand.


 * As for the second part: a note in the chat guidelines about sockpuppeting could be beneficial, I feel. If it is decided that such a note should be implemented, this and this would be good starting points in determining how it would read.


 * Oscuritaforze (talk) 03:33, August 23, 2014 (UTC)


 * I was the one who banned one of her accounts. I felt that it is not right simply leaving her with two accounts on the chat. She did use Veridie as her brother earlier. I asked her which account she would like to use for the chat, and she told me she would prefer using Veridie, hence my decision. I agree with Silver that we need a policy on alt/secondary accounts for non-ban evasion purposes. Freenight (talk) 03:55, August 23, 2014 (UTC)


 * I'll add a comment on Terraria Wiki talk:Policy about sockpuppeting, then. Oscuritaforze (talk) 19:36, August 23, 2014 (UTC)

Underage User
Guh, this fella claims to only be 7. He should probably be reported to Staff, right?

Repeated Offense
A user has vandalized several pages more by renaming them as they did last time. A longer block might be called for. Freenight (talk) 15:39, August 23, 2014 (UTC)


 * I agree with Free, here. The Aaronjosef.campos account seems like a vandalism-only account, for the most part. But it could also just be a confused little kid, as portrayed by the profile picture. Either way, I think a longer ban, as Free said, is needed.


 * TerrariamcSwaggins ( Those who are victorious plan effectively and change decisively. They are like a great river that maintains its course but adjusts its flow. ) ( Talk Page ) 16:17, August 23, 2014 (UTC)


 * Blocked. Thanks for the report.


 * One thing I'd like to note, though: when a user has disruptively moved a page more than once, please move the most recent title back to the correct title instead of moving any of the "intermediary steps". You may need to turn the original page into a redirect to the improper title temporarily (eg. in this case, you would have needed to redirect Life Fruit to "Super Life Fruit" temporarily), but this way we can preserve the full history of the page.

How did you add the rollback and admin tag to every comment?
I would love to look for it at this wiki's CSS, but my usergroup forbids me to. ;~;

May I get an example of the code used? Twilight053 (talk) 09:35, August 26, 2014 (UTC)

You are actually able to look at this wiki's CSS, you just don't have access to Special:CSS (which is actually basically just [ MediaWiki:Wikia.css?action=edit]).

At any rate, the code you are looking for are the bits at the end of Wikia.css labelled "Admin comment hlite" and "Rollback comment hilite", specifically:

Hope that helps!

Oscuritaforze (talk) 09:48, August 26, 2014 (UTC)

Works out like a charm, thanks! Twilight053 (talk) 22:15, August 27, 2014 (UTC)

Unblocking
Here do I have to do something with my rulertoner account to get it unblocked or do I just ask a admin like u if dat makes sense.

KillerBiller (talk) 12:21, August 31, 2014 (UTC)


 * Judging from the severity of the reason why that account was blocked, it is highly unlikely that it will be un-blocked. I suppose it's up to Forze in the end, though.

 * Put the Unblock template on User talk:Rulertoner as Rulertoner. See Template:Unblock/doc or ask here if you aren't sure how to use that template.

Chat Problems
Hi there, Forze. Just recently I believe that the chat was hacked, or corrupted by a certain user. I was in a PM when, out of nowhere, this popped up into the PM. Some random fella called Deadcoder some how joined the PM and my username got momentarily changed to Brenster23. In my rush to tell Squazzil, I mucked up and lost the other screenshot of the conversation that ensued after the screenshot above. Deadcoder pretty much said something along the lines of, "the chat got hacked, leave now. dont come back for like 5 minutes." After he said that, I obliged and left. Not sure what's going on, any ideas? @_@

(There was also another occurrence that happened when I rejoined the chat wherein user 's message in chat appeared as if Squazzil had said it. Bad screenshot, I know. ;-;)

 * This comment chain on today's technical update indicates that Wikia is currently in the process of implementing some major changes to their chat's underlying systems. Given that one of the comments there includes someone reporting the "messages being posted as someone else" bug you described, I'm disinclined to believe this was any kind of hacking attempt (by Deadcoder or otherwise) and was instead just the result of some technical issues on Wikia's end.
