Sorry Again

I left you about a week to respond to my apology (in your most recently archived message board), but you must not have noticed it, I understand you are very busy. I just wanted to make sure you understood I was sorry. Please forgive me. --Zarra 'Yairum 18:14, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Is it allowed to start your own Projects on Halopedia, such as creating a project that people can join that's dedicated to cleaning up a certain genre of articles? —This unsigned comment was made by Darth tom (talk • contribs). Please sign your posts with ~~~~ 10:28, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes, because it's not at all suspicious that the first thing an apparently brand new user does is create an award and go spamming up the site with it. Who are you? -- Manticore (talk) 07:44, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

I am Shotty fan and never do I recall spaming. And about my award I saw Specops306 awards and wanted to to make one so I did. Oh and could you kindly un lok my userpagr so I can edit it. -- Shotty fan Talk

Recent Changes

Huh? You're not the only one who checks recent changes.

I actually found this on the "Site Activity" thingy on the Main Page. Now I know I'm going to sound like an idiot, but where is this "Recent Changes Page" of which you speak? Pryo 'Zarkum ^{My COM} _{My Work} ^{My Story} 13:23, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

What about the Multiplayer Map Pack? It has alot of stuff not in the original Halo 2 AND the article says it's not a real extension (making it a game in its own right).Forerunner 07:06, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

About a Ban...

Hello, this is ImperatorExercitus. You have probably never heard of or seen me before. However, I wish to discuss Stigma-231's ban. First, may I ask why you did not give her a warning prior to her ban? Second, I have also noticed a user by the name of Forerunner. May I inquire why he was only dealt a two hour ban, whilst Stigma was punished with three days? Please reconsider and respond. Thank you for you time. ImperatorExerCitus! 17:50, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

That's correct, I have no idea who the hell you are or what you're doing in my talk page. However, to answer your question, my ratio of pissed off to n00b sympathy had swayed significantly between those two bans. -- Manticore (talk) 07:27, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Incompetent n00b?

I'm an incompetent n00b because Caboose asked me to block her and delete her user page, talk page, and sub pages? Guesty-Persony-Thingy 04:08, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

I just saw your note on her talk page, and there's a very good reason for them to be deleted. Neither of us particularly want this reason to be stated in public, but trust me, it's a *very* good reason. I'm deleting them again, and please don't restore them this time, okay? It's really important that you don't. Guesty-Persony-Thingy 04:18, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

She urgently doesn't want people to know half her contributions to this site consist of flirting with Ryan? Does your daddy know you're back? Last time I checked Wikia hadn't hired you. -- Manticore (talk) 07:20, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

I'd rather not talk about either of those in public... can you unignore me on IRC for a mo? Guesty-Persony-Thingy 08:54, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

God of War Wiki

Hey Manticore, I was wondering if you could help me out with some picture issues that I've been having. I'm an Administrator on the God of War Wiki under the name Enyalius and I'm not really sure how to upload images, or really how all that works. I adopted the Wiki and have recruited users, as well as turned the site around in terms of quality and quantity of articles. However, the site desperately needs pictures as we continue to create pages. Could you please help me? --Councilor Εw C 'Dnaudee^{Battle Net} _{My Editcount} 16:16, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Yes I know that part, but do you have to save pictures to your computer then upload them like we do avatars for this site? Or is there another way altogether? I just need to know how to do this exactly from the step after getting to the Upload page, I had getting to that page already covered. --Councilor Εw C 'Dnaudee^{Battle Net} _{My Editcount} 22:31, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Technical?

Hey, Manticore, I had a problem... For the "Did you Know?" section on the right side, the last three facts have <option?....</option> For example: <option>...that High Charity is the only know Flood Hive?</option> Is it just my computer, or is it a bug in a programming? Is there any method in which users can contribute to this?

That was due to this erroneous addition by Bioniclepluslotr. It has since been reverted and I will make sure to keep a close eye on changes to this template in the future. Thanks for the heads up. — Manticore [ Admin • IRC • HOTM • Bot ] 09:16, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Memo

Hi, theres been a lot of "Hackers" here, I'll inform you if theres any. 1.This user

• Spirit-of-HALO (talk) (contribs)

Yes, I noticed that too. However, it's solved easily enough; if there's someone on the Featured User (on the left) and he/she has a load of points but you are unfamiliar with them, chances are that they hacked. A few examples are User:Supreme Dalek, who is an obnoxious twat that also attacks people such as Subtank and me, User:UltimateGaurdian, Aelous, and others. In total, I believe there are five, encounting.Here is an example of Supreme Dalek's "enlightening" comments: "i thought you were going ofline stupid cunt get a dick". Said to DarkNeptune. Sincerely, General ÌṂρεσάḹόґ^My_{VictoriesFile:Cavalier achievement.gif} 19:49, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

None of those users are "hackers;" they abused a glitch that allowed them to increase their points. All blocked now anyway. — Manticore [ Admin • IRC • HOTM • Bot ] 23:01, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

This could be a problem.

I know that the site has had a problem with people joining and somehow gaining points without editing. I received a message from a user by the name of Gruntgun telling me that "(his) previous account was banned about something called point whoring." I took a look at his page, and saw he had 1,500 points. I saw he had uploaded an avatar, so with some simple math I found he must have made 8 mainspace contributions for that total. I looked at the Recent Activity section on his profile, and saw he had somehow gained rank and the Five edits milestone. But in that section, it says nothing about him editing. I check his contribs just to make sure, and I find all eight mainspace edits. I looked at the diffs, and he did make a change (it's subtle, mostly punctuation). Just thought I'd give you and all the admins a heads-up. -Well_Recognized Pryo 'Zarkum, ^[iTalk] _[iWork] ^[iWrite]

Ok, this is a problem how? User:Gruntgun has never been banned. — Manticore [ Admin • IRC • HOTM • Bot ] 03:00, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Can you fix my signature? t comes up like this:<font color="#4682B4">Thun</font><font color="#AFEEEE">ders</font><font color="#00BFFF">trea</font></sub> <sub> <font color="1E90FF">m328</font> 13:03, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

You need to check "raw signatures" in Special:Preferences. — Manticore [ Admin • IRC • HOTM • Bot ] 13:05, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

I did. It just says "Invalid Raw signature". Weird. <font color="#4682B4">Thun</font><font color="#AFEEEE">ders</font><font color="#00BFFF">trea</font></sub> <sub> <font color="1E90FF">m328</font> 13:35, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Well you do have a random </sub> and <sub> in there. — Manticore [ Admin • IRC • HOTM • Bot ] 13:42, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

I'll remove them and see how it works on my Sandbox. I won't sign the page because you know it's me and my sig is extremely messy.

YES! It worked! I had to completely re-write my sig in preferences, but it works now! See?--->Thunderstream328 13:57, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Bot Family

Can you please e-mail me the pywikipedia family for Halopedia you made along with the user-config.py thing. My e-mail is patx44@gmail.com

Thanks a lot -- PATX

I don't think so. First, I don't particularly like the idea of people using Halopedia to test their bots. Second, if you can't manage to set-up the thing on your own I don't trust you to run it here. Third, you're currently blocked. I don't particularly like ban evaders either. — Manticore [ Admin • IRC • HOTM • Bot ] 13:05, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Ah why not I have been talking to GPT. I know everthing I need exect the family part. I asked GPT to e-mail me his family and he said he would but he no longer has it. So he told me to ask you. And its not like I can not make one if I really tried I could probaly make one but then it would have some errors. hence it it might mess up Halopedia so if you just e-mailed me your stuff it would be so much easier you mess free. If you do I will make you friend userbox.... -- PATX

Hey why did you ban me from #halopedia? darth tom started it. and even so my ban can only last one ay i checked on the page about IRC rules. So next day I need to be un-banned or you will be beaking rules. And please stop inorging me it will not help this little issue. -- PATX

re: editing

Hey Manticore, ever since CT banned me a while back and I try to edit something, I get this same message "WARNING: Your browser is not unicode compliant. A workaround is in place to allow you to safely edit articles: non-ASCII characters will appear in the edit box as hexadecimal codes." but I never got that message before, any ideas why it has started up? (Just to let you know, the ban was just a little mix-up on my part, nothing serious)

Have you switched browsers or operating systems recently? — Manticore [ Admin • HOTM • Monitor • FAC • UOH • COH • CSV • Bot ] 13:24, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
