User talk:Rottingflesh

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for deleting talk. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make constructive contributions.

Removing content from talk pages is a big no-no. Deleting an entire 32k+ page isn't too kosher either, but really the talk page is the problem here. That and the self-fellating clan declarations. Now I've gotta learn how to delete and partially restore pages. --Flargen 10:19, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

• Hmmm.. So, even though he's clearly putting in a lot of work, trying to make the wiki better, you block him for one week? I may not be an admin who has to deal with people spamming or whatnot, but it's quite clear that he's not some riffraff that's trying to vandalize. --MindlessGames 11:00, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
  • I understand the reasoning behind the policy, and all...but this seems like a pretty strong "warning", given that the info in the help page states: "Also, editing or deleting other people's comments is generally not appreciated, although discussions may be archived." There's no mention of or link to information about how to archive, and certainly no warning that you'll be banned for deleting comments. --Kirkpatrick 12:15, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
    • I've deleted his "edits" to that page, so you probably missed the part where he said something like "THIS PAGE DELETED BECAUSE THE HOGS HAVE CLAIMED IT FOR A REWRITE". Not exactly going to ingratiate you to...well, me at least. If some other admin wants to reduce/remove his ban duration, I won't complain, but I hope it suffices to say that he didn't exactly go about his rewrite in an appropriate fashion. --Flargen 16:37, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
      • He said "THE HOGS OF DESTINY CALL DIBS ON REVAMPING THIS WIKI ENTRY". --CG1:t,c,e 16:44, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
        • I've gotta say, I think this is a little harsh. RottingFlesh was clearly working hard to improve things-- I watched last night as he gave a ton of attention to the old and outdated Hardcore Skill Analysis page, a page that nobody had revised in ages. There might have been a few missteps here and there, but blocking him for a week? When you fire a warning shot, it's generally across someone's bow, to alert them, not square in the middle of their hull. --Southwest 18:33, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
