Hello Edit

I was just banned on chat by a user "TheUltimateH4M" or something like that. I joined; and did not even speak and was banned. I was given the reason "invading". I'm just wondering what I did wrong. Thanks, Nozus (talk) 03:06, March 25, 2013 (UTC)

Issue's been cleared up. TheUltimateH4M ^talk  12:17, March 25, 2013 (UTC)

Chatbot Edit

I don't know how bots work necessarily, but is there a way for it to find a name, like <Callofduty4>, and add something to each instance of it so mods can be seen easily on the logs? Also, could you add some code so whenever you type in !rules, it displays a message like "The rules of the chat are located here." Lord of Shadows ^{Words mean nothing!} 04:50, March 27, 2013 (UTC)

I would recommend asking Sactage, as he wrote the code for the bot, from what Ozank told me. -- This is Jonny Manz, signing off! 04:59, March 27, 2013 (UTC)

I'll see what I can do    07:01, March 27, 2013 (UTC)

Alright, thank you. Lord of Shadows ^{Words mean nothing!} 20:19, March 27, 2013 (UTC)

You're welcome, Sactage will add in !rules. I'm working on something else for it at the moment    21:29, March 27, 2013 (UTC)

Ending Racism on the Wiki Edit

Hi COD4,

yesterday we experienced racism on the chat by Vasseldorf.  I really do not feel like we are taking enough support on racism and more on being rude in general.  What can we do to ensure that this does not occur anymore?

Gumballgugugaga ^talk 19:34, March 31, 2013 (UTC)

Hi Gumball, thank you for this question. Racism and other disrespectful and rude behaviours are disallowed under both Wikia's Terms of Use and our Chat rules. However, if you notice anything that you are uncomfortable about, make sure you report it to an admin or chat mod.    20:11, March 31, 2013 (UTC)

Ok, thank you for the help.

Blocking users Edit

Users can be blocked for more than just ToU violations. We have our own guidelines, remember? Among these guidelines are the abuse guidelines, which clearly says sexual conduct is abuse. The user wasn't blocked for a ToU violation, they were blocked for a violation of this wiki's guidelines. –Throwy 16:06, April 4, 2013 (UTC)

I fail to see any sexual conduct coming from those users. You shouldn't be using your administrative tools to solve "problems" where there aren't any. No one else had a problem with those users' names and I find your unquestioned blocking of a chat moderator incredibly deplorable.    16:15, April 4, 2013 (UTC)

"Sexy Spitfire" pretty much has "sexual conduct" written into it. Uh... I don't know what else to say. "Sexy". "Sex". "Sexual". –Throwy 16:18, April 4, 2013 (UTC)

That's ridiculous. Please do not use the policies as an excuse to enact blocks where blocks are absolutely not required, and instead doing it for the sake of giving a block to a new user who hasn't done anything detrimental to the site. The user was on the wiki and chat the whole of yesterday and not a single person raised any concern. You're not doing anyone or anything any favours by giving blocks like this. Think of things in a human manner instead of giving seemingly automated blocks for the most minor and unimportant policy "violations".    16:27, April 4, 2013 (UTC)

I'm sorry, the no-sexual-conduct policy is neither minor nor unimportant. I'm raising this issue for broader discussion. –Throwy 16:36, April 4, 2013 (UTC)

Undo this block?Edit

http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/Sexy_Spitfire_90

I have looked through http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/FW:GL, and have found that nowhere have they violated it. the block is illicit. Land of Confusion Discord Prevails 17:34, April 4, 2013 (UTC)

Why is it that every time someone disagrees with a block they immediately cry "abuse"? The guidelines specifically state that admins have complete discretion when it comes to blocks. Disagreeing is one thing, saying it's against the guidelines is a completely different matter. –Throwy 07:52, April 6, 2013 (UTC)

A brief break from chatEdit

Just here to remind you that I'm taking a short break from the wiki chat after a minor altercation. I will stay with editing and helping out in forums and the wiki, but yeah that's about it. CoolioDoolio93 ^talk  21:14, April 15, 2013 (UTC)

Abuse filter's gone and malfunctioned Edit

It has blocked innocent users, thinking they did something wrong. Please do something about it?--Daipenmon (talk) 14:47, April 17, 2013 (UTC)

What do you mean?    15:16, April 17, 2013 (UTC)

http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Log/block You were the one who modified the abuse filter last about 3 days ago--Daipenmon (talk) 15:22, April 17, 2013 (UTC)

I didn't change the syntax the filter uses - I added something to exempt the chat bot. Nothing I added would've changed what the filter detects.    15:28, April 17, 2013 (UTC)

On further investigation, it's not malfunctioning at all. It's behaving exactly how it is intended to act.    15:33, April 17, 2013 (UTC)

Somehow adding code like DT did can cause the Abuse Filter to issue a indefinite block.--Daipenmon (talk) 15:45, April 17, 2013 (UTC)

He also for some reason modified other parts of the article with filter-triggering material which resulted in the filter catching his edits.    16:03, April 17, 2013 (UTC)

All the same, I really can't imagine this was anything other than a false positive. And when I tried to add it, I got the same warning, so obviously there's something there that's setting it off, but I'm not good enough with abuse filter syntax to be able to tell what that would be simply by looking at it. -- This is Jonny Manz, signing off! 21:50, April 17, 2013 (UTC)

So let me get this straight...Edit

You're going to kick me for saying learn the term of excessive yet you don't kick her for trying to impose a rule that we weren't even breaking and it was targeted towards me when she and Royal were doing it as well.

That's fair -.-

Dragon Theology (talk) 16:42, April 17, 2013 (UTC)Dragon Theology

No, I banned you for being rude and trying to coerce trouble within a group of users by making snide and insolent comments wherever you possibly can, per your usual behaviour.    16:44, April 17, 2013 (UTC)

Usual behaviour?  Trying to coerce trouble?  So stating my opinion is coercing trouble?  The thing is if you don't like how my attitude is, then simply ignore it.  Not trying to be rude, but I'm not changing just because 1 or 2 people don't like it

Dragon Theology (talk) 17:49, April 17, 2013 (UTC)Dragon Theology

Lack of Respect huh?

Okay first of all, how is it breaking the rules when:

1. Other admins said it was okay as long as it wasn't excessive (which it wasn't)

2. You two were participating as well and only called me out when I did it, so it's a double standard.

Second, for what I could see, I was being called out constantly for things that weren't even that bad.  Heck, they weren't even refered to the person that called me out on it.  You're probably not going to lift the ban anyway but this seems like favoritism towards people instead of looking at both sides.  I can't be sorry for something that, in all honesty, isn't something to be sorry about.  I've said many times that I personally speak my mind yet respect others when respect is given.  I'm not going to change my personallity or attitude just because one person doesn't like it.  If it comes down to a majority of people not being able to deal with it then fine; that's my problem, but that's not the case.

Just my two cents.  Keep the ban on if you want but I'm not changing how I feel on it.

Dragon Theology (talk) 17:47, April 17, 2013 (UTC)Dragon Theology

Look, if you don't want to listen to warnings and then get banned as a result, then that's your own problem. I'm not the only person who has a problem with it, no one appreciates your smart alec behaviour, which got you banned previously by a different administrator, and warned before that by another different administrator. So no, I'm clearly not the "only one". I was watching the chat the whole time you were there; the only thing you insisted on doing was carrying on an awkward topic, even making one or two comments after I asked everyone to stop, and making your classic insolent comments wherever you could. Do not accuse me of "favouritism" when you were the one who was causing problems. And yes, I will definitely be keeping the ban on, as you clearly don't want to try and improve your behaviour. What you just posted to be above gives me all the more reason to keep your ban. You might have thought you were making a really intelligent and well-thought out point about favouritism, but in reality you pretty much sealed your ban in cement. The more you show an intent to cause trouble, the higher your chances of receiving a more severe punishment become.    17:54, April 17, 2013 (UTC)

OK FineEdit

If you want to think that I'm actually causing trouble then that's your perrogative.  I never said you were the only one, only that very few of you actually care.  You and Ozank have been really the only people to have a problem with it, and as I ask everyone else, they seem to be alright and fine with it.  I never insult for the sake of causing trouble, I never try to incite fights (people get it heated when they take me not liking a certain thing the wrong way) and my sarcasm or smartalec behaivor as you will are usually in the general form of joking.

And carrying on an awkward topic?  You do realized I stoped right and I didn't keep posting that right.  Now you're accusing me of things I'm not even doing.  Insolent comments?  Give me an example.  I did not lash out, attack, or even remark to your comment (or at least not seriously) in the entire conversation.

What you consider showing intent on causing trouble is really just me saying honestly what I feel about the situation. And by trying to put things like "ou might have thought you were making a really intelligent and well-thought out point about favouritism, but in reality you pretty much sealed your ban in cement." is more inciteful and hurtful than anything I've put up.  And in all honesty, if you really truely want to think I'm trying to cause trouble and  alongate my ban, then go ahead.  All I'm trying to do is get you to understand my side but as far as I can see, you are not trying to do so.

Dragon Theology (talk) 18:23, April 17, 2013 (UTC)Dragon Theology

Remember this: "My previous comment got Ozanked" How can you not see this as offensive? (to me specifically) It isn't funny or amusing, insensitive comments like that, whether you regard them as offensive or not are what get you in a situation of having sanctions used against you. If you didn't mean it to be offensive, I'd suggest you think twice before posting something, because the second time round you might see it as offensive and dismiss posting it. -- Ozank (Talk) 18:36, April 17, 2013 (UTC)

Your side is "No one cares if I cause trouble so it's okay". That's not much of an argument in your favour: it's actually counterproductive as it implies you're okay with causing trouble, and that's not an attitude we want around here. The bottom line is that you've now been warned about causing trouble on the wiki too, and as you have been banned before already for this sort of behaviour, your second ban is not going to be as short as the first. If you had kept your irrational, rude and incorrect thoughts to yourself about how a user asked you to stop doing something, you wouldn't be in the position of being on a final chance, and I wouldn't be spending my time arguing with you about it. I'm not really sure how to put this in any other way that you'll understand: what you did was not okay, and you have now been warned for it. There's no "favouritism" or any argument about what your behaviour actually means; if you're being disruptive, you get warned. It's the same story for any user - the fact "no one cares except Ozank and Callofduty4" does not make your behaviour acceptable.    18:41, April 17, 2013 (UTC)   18:41, April 17, 2013 (UTC)

Once Again...Edit

My argument is that "If people other than a two call me out on something, I'm not a trouble to the wiki"  What you are implying is that I'm causing trouble to everyone when in fact it's really only a few that are actually having a problem with me.  What was the real offense: Me calling them out on blaming me for doing what they were doing or the fact of how I said it?  If it's the later, the kid kept pushing and pushing and pushing to the point where it felt like I was the only one taking heat for something a good 3 users were doing the exact same thing.  Once again, you're twisting what I'm saying to further make your points.  I'm not saying "No one cares that I cause trouble so it's okay", I'm saying no one is bothered by my personality or sarcasm, so it's not in the wrong.  If I was truely offending enough people I would stop, and I have been noted from even my wiki friends of certain situations.  The Spike incident with him being a dog...I cooled that down.  The posting of grimdark...yeah I stopped that.  I'm capable of listening if you also hear my side instead of twisting it to make your points look good.  To say I'm causing a disturbance in the wiki is just fabrication at best

Also to Ozank, I'm going to be honest with this...I didn't and still don't find the Getting Ozanked comment offensive.  Now before you blow a gasket here's why.  I generally mess with peoples names due to actions or situations.  Like Nihi is a Broken Tape Recorder and Filly is a Pessimistic Troll-Gak.  I got my comment deleted off of one word so I got Ozanked.  I only do things if I don't mind others doing them to me.  You could call me practically anything if it isn't racist or insulting to my or anyones intelligence and I wouldn't care.  That's just my personality and way of thinking, and I can't really change that.

Dragon Theology (talk) 18:59, April 17, 2013 (UTC)Dragon Theology

I listened to your side enough. Your position is still "If 2 people don't like what I'm doing, it doesn't matter" and your point is empty, if you were causing trouble, you were causing trouble, it doesn't matter who liked it and who didn't like it.

I don't care what your standards are. If you find it okay to cause trouble like you do, then you'll just get warned, banned, warned, banned until you stop or you get an indefinite ban. None of us have time to play games with you.    19:08, April 17, 2013 (UTC)

But the thing is I wasn't causing a problem.  You two (not you Ozank) took everything out of porportion and seemingly ignored the fact that everyone was was doing exactly what I was doing and then when I tried to make my case, I get banned.  Sure, saying something like "Maybe you should look up the meaning of excessive" might come off as harsh, but how else am I going to get her to stop constantly going You broke the rules, no RPing even though she was clearly doing the exact same thing.  Like I said, I expect nothing to come from this.  I'm banned for three days and that's fine.  I just want you to understand where I'm coming from instead of what you think I'm trying to come from.

Final Message Before DepartureEdit

You probably already know who this is and you probably already have your hand on the block button for extension.  Well, I'm not here to troll or attack; I'm here to say something.  That "sour apple & 10 year old" comment you banned me for was not being directed towards any users, and mainly talking A. anons who have attacked me for my opinions or B. people who have given me a headache on this site due to them attacking me.  But you probably don't believe that since I'm a "regular trouble maker", though I feel it necessary for you to see where I'm coming from (though you probably won't). 

I don't expect this to change anything nor do I expect to be able to come back until that week duration you put on me.  But for what it's worth, users of other types have gotten away with saying far worse and seemingly get away with it (or at least from what I've seen) but everytime I say even the most miniscule things that practically nobody cared about.  But it's all good.

Like I said, I'm not threatening, trying to get this taken off earlier than added, or anything of the sort, but since you guys have it conviently set up to where we can't comment on the IP address of our computer, I'm sending it from here.  Maybe a week break from the people who are peaving me off on this wiki might be good.  Might give me some time to deal with my actual problems in life.  And when I come back in a week or so, I'm gonna be the same old DT that people know and love (or hate depending on who you are), and barely anything will change..

Until then...well....ciao

Secret Clubs? Edit

Hello CallofDuty4! I asked this twice but I guess you didn't see, so I thought I would ask you one more time to clear something up: What are secret clubs? You mentioned them on the forum about non - pony blogs. I'm not trying to argue here, I'm just wondering because when the blog's comments were open, anyone could comment there, not just a member of a secret club. Thanks! PowerStar89 ^Talk

The atmosphere that came off of it is one that reeked of some forced exclusivity. I don't think it would have been easy for users to join in with all of the in jokes and clear social circles. That's why the population of the blog remained almost the same the whole time it was open.    22:43, April 21, 2013 (UTC)

Huh, I find it interesting that you guys thought that way, because whenever a new user came we welcomed them / replied to their comments. I didn't really see any social circles myself. Oh well. Thanks again for the reply! PowerStar89 ^Talk

He's the only one saying it, and I dunno why it was closed since I don't see any opposition to leaving it open in the discussion...care to explain, Cod? ~Bobogoobo (talk) 23:24, April 21, 2013 (UTC)

Not particularly. But since you ask, we don't need to discuss the closure of off-topic blogs: we've been doing it before so I don't particularly understand why this one has to be treated any different. If you want to take the forum into account, the handful of oppose votes were from people who were using the blog anyway so their opinion comes alongside a large clash of interest with the discussion. All in all, it isn't really enough to warrant an exception in a policy/rule we've been enforcing/semi-enforcing for as long as I can remember. You said it yourself on the forum - "Just go somewhere that's actually a place for socializing if you want to do that." I agree with you, and I see no issues with leaving it at that.    23:51, April 21, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, but they won't go. I guess we can start blocking people if they refuse to be on topic...or, well, be more strict about it. Since, yeah, it's kind of annoying having to clean up all of this and this is a wiki. Okay, I see your point. I guess people can keep discussing on the forums but I don't feel like dealing with it at the moment. ~Bobogoobo (talk) 00:02, April 22, 2013 (UTC)

Here's a solution to the whole thing http://bronies-20.wikia.com/wiki/Special:RecentChanges that wiki ain't being used so it's okay if they want to use that wiki for random comments?--Daipenmon (talk) 00:27, April 22, 2013 (UTC)

That's a wiki for OC characters, though... PowerStar89 (talk) 01:50, April 22, 2013 (UTC)

Random comments don't have less to do with OCs than they do with the content of this wiki, do they? In other words, random comments are random and off-topic no matter where you are. ~Bobogoobo (talk) 01:55, April 22, 2013 (UTC)

The point is that wiki is not in use since the original is in use.--Daipenmon (talk) 02:00, April 22, 2013 (UTC)

Leave Message Button GONE on my message wall Edit

Hi, sorry I have been bugging you with a lot of messages but I have a quick question. When I moved all my talk page messages to an archives page the button 'Leave Message' disappeared and now it only says edit. I am really worried becuase all the people that would need to leave me a message can no longer reach me and I heard in chat that there are some people interested in a signature.

Can you please tell me how to add the leave message button. Thanks -- Gumballgugugaga ^talk 00:57, April 22, 2013 (UTC)

First, it's still leave a message for everyone else. It's changed to Edit on your own talk page because, well, why would you leave a message for yourself? It's also negligibly harder to leave a message without the automatic new section, if people make the effort to find out how to do things. Lastly, please transclude your signature instead of substituting it as I asked you before. It's too large for that. ~Bobogoobo (talk) 01:13, April 22, 2013 (UTC)

Ok thanks for the help Bobogoobo. Can you tell me how to make it automatic new section thing. Also,I do not know how to transclude signatures, I am an AMATEUR signature creater not a sig superstar like you or H4M.-- Gumballgugugaga ^talk 21:22, April 23, 2013 (UTC)

A somewhat hurtful comment on my nomination forumEdit

Hello there!

I just wanted to tell you that I personally found your comment quite hurtful and somewhat rude. Your attitude is really something else, I can barely describe it in words I can understand.

Now, like I have said before, I completely respect your vote and thank you for participating! However, I think perhaps I don't think you attitude is quite ready for such a position would have been better. Being an administrator here and a VTSF, you're a role-model to so many. I would just recommend being more careful about the way you word your concerns. 

When I tried to approach you about this issue, you said it wasn't suppose to be nice, which I feel is very irresponsible and not a good way to express your feelings to someone.

Logs can be seen here: http://pastebin.com/WaUEQcLv

A screenshot can be seen here: http://snag.gy/rNFOE.jpg

Your comment can be seen here: http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Chat_moderators/Archive_2#343_TheGuiltyProphet

Hope we can come to an understanding.

ShadowLurker343 ^Talk   21:07, April 22, 2013 (UTC)

As I said before, it wasn't supposed to be nice. I really can't explain it any other way. It was supposed to make a point, and get you to notice something you should work on. It has clearly worked, so while I apologise for its harshness that may have hurt your feelings, I'm not thinking twice about saying what I said. Anyone who has worked with me in the past both on wikis and in real life knows that I am extremely demanding of the best candidates to fulfill tasks; and if they're not the best I make a clear point to them that they have something to improve on if they want to be up there with the best. That's what I tried to do to you. Furthermore, as I said on the forum, the days of "being nice" as the only requirement to become a chatmod have passed, you now need to have actually shown yourself to potentially be trustworthy and useful with the tools. While you probably have the former locked down, your sometimes naive and overexcited attitude means the latter needs a bit of work. This is why wiki edits, conduct and participation will always be the best indicator of a good chatmod/admin/image control/rollback/whatever, and although others are strangely insistent on telling me I'm wrong, that ain't gonna change what is a fact.

There are times to be nice and there are times where constructive criticism, possibly with a hint of exaggeration or harshness is more helpful than being nice. I refuse to let friendships and other irrelevant ideals influence anything I say on a discussion. Candidates should be looked at objectively, not subjectively.

So once again, I apologise if what I said upset you. However, I tend to say what is useful/helpful on forums, not what will please the masses. You only need to look so far in my talk page archives to see that :P    22:00, April 22, 2013 (UTC)

I understand that you were trying to give good criticism. You are more than entitled to do that. Which I do encourage. Criticism is always good, if it's valid. However, I would recommend that you double check the way in which you do it. I am the type of person that believes harshness should be used as a last resort. Try and talk to the individual or make your point across being as fair as possible. This can avoid arguments and allow users to reach an understanding so much quicker. Like I said I have no objections to your vote and I appreciate you participating. Thanks again, ShadowLurker343 ^Talk

Do not undelete the logsEdit

Please review the chat log discussion. It was agreed that the logs would be on a single page and that they would not contain "common vandalism". –Throwy 14:10, April 23, 2013 (UTC)

No it wasn't... you only mentioned it. People were voting to get the logs back, not agreeing to your absurdly regulated and censored logs. I've undeleted them again for the second time now. Please do not delete them again until clarification on their conditioning is made: I've put up a discussion on the matter --> Forum:Chat_bot_clarification    17:01, April 23, 2013 (UTC)

Your blatant disregard to proper discussion is disgusting. First a 10-hour discussion with four of your friends is a reason to instate logs, then a ten day discussion is not a discussion. You need to review and follow the guidelines, otherwise you shouldn't be an admin. –Throwy 11:55, April 24, 2013 (UTC)

There's no need to get snappy like that. I put a discussion up to clarify the matter and if you care so much about the topic, we would expect your input on it. If I didn't care about discussion I wouldn't have bothered to put a discussion up.    12:01, April 24, 2013 (UTC)

You could have just paid attention to the previous discussion instead of ignoring it and doing whatever you like. Every question you raised was discussed. Re-opening the discussion wouldn't be such a strange thing to do if it weren't that you fully participated and even closed the discussion just a few days ago, so saying "no one discussed it" is... well... blatant disregard. –Throwy 12:31, April 24, 2013 (UTC)

I only wanted to reopen it to clear up the matter. I even said on the forum that I do not care which way it is done. When you decided it would be a better idea to randomly call me out in the middle of the forum, I lost interest on the whole subject of having a chat bot. If your goal was to just disinterest me from the entire subject then you win. I wasn't even at home at the time of the 10 hour discussion, I came home and saw it was one of those quick chat forums that get knocked off in under a day due to a unanimous vote. Yes, fast discussions have happened before that forum, and after your legitimate concern about fast discussions that should have more time given to them, I've spoken up against another rushed discussion that happened after you raised the concern. I wish you would stop holding the initial forum against me when I am fully aware I made a mistake and I fully agree with you that discussions shorter than 10 days are not acceptable. I implore you to not just assume I closed it after "discussing it with friends" (I didn't even put an opinion on the forum, nor did I ever hear of the idea prior to the forum), because I wanted to close it and for no other reason than that. I asked at least one other admin before I closed it to see if it was okay to, and no concerns were raised.

Why do you keep saying it was "my discussion"? Since when were discussions "owned" by a certain user? I didn't even start it, I closed it and I even gave what I thought was a believable reason as to why I closed it earlier than I should have. There's nothing about "revenge", I have nothing to be vengeful about. I have more constructive things to do than sit on a wiki and enact some sort of petty "revenge" on something. I know I make it clear when I don't like an idea, but I never think of purposefully causing disruption if that idea is put into action. I'm mature enough to know that I can't get my own way.

I'm not sure why you're getting so upset with me, hopefully that clears some stuff up.    12:54, April 24, 2013 (UTC)

Ya I did not mean the award but I think Cod4 knows what I mean. As for nominating you, no problem because I am always looking to award the people that stand out in our community.

Some true pointsEdit

I was looking through some of the discussions on your talk page and I came across this comment by you "I refuse to let friendships and other irrevelant ideals influence anything I say on a discussion."

Using bans as harrassmentEdit

These are two incidents where you banned a user and overrode another mod's position on it. Granted, on the first one listed, Food and Ocredan did the same thing, however, this is becoming a constant thing with you. Please stop banning users without even talking to them in the chat or warning them at all- AND going over another mod's head. I've lifted Filly's ban for now, and I'm going to go ask Dr. Las to decide the ban length, as it should be (although I suspect his judgement may be the same). Land of Confusion Discord Prevails 06:20, May 4, 2013 (UTC)

Sorry, Filly Please has had enough chances. Stop accusing me of harassment as if you have no actual reason to keep him unbanned. This is the second time an administrator has had to warn you about false accusations. Furthermore, you can't have a go at me for "going over a mods head" when you removed my ban a month or so ago with the reasoning "no reason given" when there was one clearly given, and you didn't go over one mod's head, you went over at least 4 moderators who had discussed it with you present. You've given no actual reason to give an unban except "You gave a ban without consulting anyone else" and "I don't want you to give the ban". If you remove the ban again without actual proof he was not misbehaving, that will constitute an abuse of your moderating ability. Dr Las Moore gave the ban for indefinite, that is what it shall remain as.    12:29, May 4, 2013 (UTC)

Empress Cadance (talk) 14:27, May 20, 2013 (UTC)Empress Cadance

Try using another browser, or wait it out. Sometimes it does this - if it persists for more than a day I will try to see if there's something that needs fixing. I haven't modified any of the code, so it should be behaving normally.    14:44, May 20, 2013 (UTC)

Nevermind, it was a glitch. Fixed!    14:51, May 20, 2013 (UTC)’’

MediaWiki:Chat.jsEdit

I know that you fixed the glitch but I have a question cause for the past month I have been testing MediaWiki:Chat.js and other MediaWiki pages. It seems like there was just a sudden glitch that caused everything on the page to stop working and I was in chat at the time and I literally saw the options button disappear.

My question is: If there is no shown history of the page being edited during that time then what could have caused the mal-funtion and is there a way to prevent this in the future. The chat went hectic and people went crazy and there was no admin or mod in there to stop it so is there a way to stop this from happeneing in the future?

Gummygugugaga ^talk16:00, May 20, 2013 (UTC)
