But did you really mean what you said about that inactive-exempt for the Wikimaniawiki? [13:08:06] darkmatterman450: yes, I'm just not going to give raidarr much more than a pat on the back [13:08:32] [discord] but seriously, given wikimaniawiki has literally nothing and may have nothing for some time, I feel it might be better just to put a wiki creation blacklist on the name and just let it go until it's necessary rather than live parking as it seems to be [13:08:50] [discord] but if that's not feasible I can put it on the list [13:09:03] raidarr: my plan was just to make an edit [13:09:13] And keep doing it every 60 days [13:09:20] Thought it might save me a click [13:09:38] I can probably put something useful on it [13:09:44] [discord] :DoneMH: **Done** [13:09:52] [discord] Effective immediately, I hand over CES to Raidarr [13:10:05] [discord] I've got a few wikis I'm looking at to maintain, so I can just add that to the particular bookmark folder without necessitating an exemption [13:10:39] [discord] maybe just have a vague front page with a few errors and it can be tweaked upwards every so often :p [13:10:43] Heh! [13:11:01] [discord] I like the idea of keeping it going by actually doing something even if it's trivial to build it until it really serves a purpose [13:12:18] Me and Agent should dump our thoughts on there [13:12:35] It mainly depends on when the next Wikimania is in person [13:12:38] They are plans [13:12:54] [discord] I can dump some ideas later today [13:12:59] [discord] I just have to remember to do so lol [13:13:35] [discord] that path I definitely encourage [13:35:52] [discord] [[Special:CentralAuth/Ilovecats]] https://meta.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Agent_Isai&curid=980&diff=240262&oldid=240134 [13:35:52] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/Ilovecats [13:35:53] [discord] [13:35:54] [url] Difference between revisions of "User talk:Agent Isai" - Miraheze Meta | meta.miraheze.org [13:35:54] [discord] Hmmm, this is quite strange for this new editor to go directly to Agent Isai to ask what certain advanced permissions are what.

[13:42:25] ugochimobi You think? But for now, we should observe. [13:42:33] yeah [13:52:39] [discord] Wait, @raidarr. You're meaning to tell me that Ilovecats was Saucerman all along? [13:53:08] [discord] Oh shit, I think I put in the wrong reason there [13:53:44] [discord] Oh, no I didn't [13:53:55] [discord] don't be doing that mate, you made me second guess there 😛 [13:54:12] [discord] So they were indeed related? [13:54:14] [discord] I mean exactly what I put in the lock reason [13:54:24] [discord] and I do not see saucerman in cat's lock reason [13:55:22] [discord] Oh, wait. So Ilovecats was Octahedron foundation. [13:55:39] [discord] I guess I didn't double check it until just now. [14:18:15] I wasn't wrong afterall [14:23:08] [discord] but ye, it was transparently the same as the other guy's writing style [14:23:22] [discord] I was already looking into things and there was just enough that I went ahead and verified [14:32:20] Why didn't you just globally block the IP that those 2 accounts were using raidarr? [14:32:49] [discord] waiting for doug on the foundation guy's case as he has a bit of a peculiar configuration going on [14:33:07] [discord] though if I see another account I'm probably just going to go ahead and fire [14:33:15] [discord] Alright. And it's good that you're getting better at using the CheckUser interface. [14:33:16] [discord] won't likely do much, but meh [17:41:20] [discord] [[Special:CentralAuth/Nobh4201]] @raidarr Looks like the same person (Nobh4321) from a few weeks ago has returned as Nobh4201, doing some of the same type of vandalism, and some of the diffs are self-explanatory: https://closinglogosgroup.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=Scholastic_Video_Collection&diff=prev&oldid=186588 (Nobh4321) [17:41:20] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/Nobh4201 [17:41:21] [discord] [17:41:21] [url] Difference between revisions of "Scholastic Video Collection" - CLG Wiki | closinglogosgroup.miraheze.org [17:41:22] [discord] https://closinglogosgroup.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:Diff/183162 (Nobh4201) [17:41:23] [discord] [17:41:24] [url] Difference between revisions of "Scholastic Video Collection" - CLG Wiki | closinglogosgroup.miraheze.org [17:41:25] [discord] https://closinglogosgroup.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=Newvideo&diff=prev&oldid=186602 (And now Nobh4201 is just starting this up again).

[20:52:51] Please stop the spam [20:53:03] darkmatterman450: watch what you post [20:53:48] RhinosF1 hold up a minute. It is in regards to some strange user, asking me a weird question. [20:54:12] darkmatterman450: no the about 20 blank lines [20:54:19] I honestly don't understand why IRC does this, as it **NEVER** used to do this. [20:54:44] But I apologize for the blank spam however. [20:54:48] because you sent a blank line? [20:55:02] Yes. IRC never used to do this at all until recently. [20:55:18] What does discord show [20:55:29] [discord] Thanks for catching him. I wasn't awake yet so I couldn't block him right away [20:55:51] [discord] Thanks for catching him. I was still asleep [20:56:14] RhinosF1 I actually edited the message, which apparently caused the spam to occur. [20:59:08] Ah right [21:01:46] [discord] RhinosF1, 'Drywall' terminated as a rather obvious sock [21:02:51] [discord] To be accurate RhinosF1, raidarr is referring to Octahedron foundation (or as he likes to call him, "Mr Foundation").
