[00:02:57] There must be a really interesting reason why onion rings must be whole slices of onion and not diced onion formed into a ring shape [00:03:53] Onions are also the only food item with protected origin designation in the US (specifically those from Vidalia, GA). You’re also not allowed to speculate on onion futures, specifically onions. So many laws about onions. [00:59:52] Hey have miraheze gotten to this situation before? [01:01:53] That's like, 90% of our content policy [01:04:19] There's also a handful of wikis that made the disclosure of personal data on wikis policy necessary [01:28:04] <.labster, replying to wikitideharej> State of the Onion address? [03:46:08] [1/2] Apologies to interrupt the fun but @CVT is someone making like 100000000000000000000000 accounts in a short frame of time reason alone to take action? We've had some kid called ElijahFernandez make oodles upon oodles upon oodles upon oodles upon oodles upon oodles upon oodles of new accounts on AVID (probably enough at this point to form an army for a tiny country), some [03:46:09] [2/2] of which have tried inserting false information in the past. We have blocked them due to this and especially the rapid-fire account creation continuing despite us asking them to chill on it but yet unsurprisingly they persist. :/ The User Reports page alone should probably give an idea of how persistent it's been https://www.avid.wiki/AVID:User_Reports#Fernandezelijah6831 [03:50:45] Will see if there's some rangeblock assistance we can provide, thanks for the heads up [03:56:20] Done. [04:01:55] Thank you guys!!! 😁 😁 😁 [04:20:38] Alright, that's all I can readily mop up [04:24:51] As you might've noticed, we no longer as closely monitor AVID goings-on, so if there's a persistent issue and you need steward assistance, please do also feel free to make use of [[SR/CU]] [04:24:51] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/SR/CU [04:24:52]

[04:30:01] That's completely understandable! Especially since at least from my perception we have way less socks and troublemakers compared to Run 1 which is absolutely a good thing for both our end and Miraheze staff's end lol. I've went ahead and let my fellow wiki staff peeps know! Thanks for the added direction too on top of everything else!!! 😁 😁 😁 😁 [04:30:56] Definitely, seems like things are MUCH calmer. 🙂 Glad to help, as always [08:22:09] What do you mean by “socks”? [08:22:15] Like a literal sock or.. [09:15:00] Wait how chaotic it was for miraheze? [09:15:20] I’m a bit of a flesh blood so [09:15:38] (Also is it just me, or miraheze doesn’t have a lot of trusted volunteers) [09:43:47] A sockpuppet account is a false online identity created by a single person or group to deceive others. These accounts are used to manipulate conversations by creating a false sense of popular opinion, support or criticize a person or organization, or circumvent bans. [09:44:27] Got it - thanks! [09:46:59] [1/2] There are more volunteers than you see on Meta. There are volunteers who are more active elsewhere. But it's true, we always need more volunteers. [09:46:59] [2/2] See #volunteering if you want to contribute in some field, or ask more about Miraheze's need. [10:13:18] i'll try when i'm free - the community is really helpful here [13:55:19] not really no, there's a handful who are more active, a body that's less active, and that is often about it and yes, you're welcome to become more involved [13:55:45] the other problem is that the stakes are relatively high so its not trivial to get into a role like steward or even higher cvt like global administrator without already being firmly known [13:56:10] a majority of people who've been promising coming out of the woodwork tend to slip into the less active body of volunteers later [15:44:35] Less active doesn’t mean they’re passed on from miraheze right? [15:47:44] Eh, depends? [16:24:54] its hard to say sometimes [19:47:28] Our volunteer corps is very much like a certain cat - whether or not they exist depends on how much they are observed. 🤣 [19:47:56] But the service continues to hum along by their probabilistic efforts [19:55:09] Mostly his ^ [19:56:04] (Not to detract from the incredible work Ro and the others put on in the WR team or Tali in CVT, etc, to be absolutely clear) [19:56:46] designated trusted adult [19:59:43] https://tenor.com/view/trustedadult-im-gonna-tell-a-trusted-adult-tell-a-trusted-adult-gif-9370785982460082574
