PvXwiki:Admin noticeboard

The Admin noticeboard

There are a number of issues that can only be solved by an Administrator. The Admin noticeboard is one of the means through which users can contact Administrators in order to identify a problem that needs Administrative attention. Although editors are welcome to directly contact particular Administrators, posting on this page instead may be an easier way to let the entire Administrative group know of the issue (which may be particularly helpful since it increases the odds that at least one Administrator will see, and thus be able to respond to, the issue promptly).

There are only a limited number of things for which this page should be used. Many problems can be solved without Administrative intervention, and, thus, this page should be restricted to those issues that actually require an Administrator. Those are: blocking vandals, (un)deleting pages, (un)protecting pages, removing votes (either as per Real Vetting or because the build has been substantially edited), and mediation (only if the situation demands it).

Even in cases of vandalism, posting on this page needn't be the first step (and indeed should not be the first step). If you see vandalism, just go ahead and revert it, anyone has the power to do so. If it's a new article with no safe version to revert back to, tag it for deletion. In both cases you should leave a message in the talk page of that user to make him/her aware of why that kind of edit is unacceptable on PvXwiki. Only post here if that user persists in his/her actions, ignoring the warnings or if the content requires immediate Administrative attention (eg. if the material on the page is so offensive that should be immediately deleted).

(Be careful in case that user repeatedly insists on vandalizing, avoid a revert war; it's far better to temporarily leave the vandalized version of the page up until an admin has a chance to intervene.)

To create a new request: add an item to the bottom of the list below, providing a brief, neutral summary of the issue. As a sign of courtesy, also leave a message on the talk page of any other involved users so they are aware of this discussion. If you are alerting an admin of a vandal, use the {{IP}} template, with the first parameter being the vandal's IP or username. If you are requesting that vote(s) be removed, please use the {{Build}} template, with the first parameter being the build's name.

Note that this is not a talk page and that the respective moderators of each section reserve the right to remove non-administrative comments without discussion.

Please place new requests at the bottom of the corresponding issues heading.

My userpage

Dear admins, somebody is constantly changing the text on my userpage, I am changing it back all the time but it's getting kind of annoying, since I am kinda noobish with wiki coding I have no idea who is doing this and I am wondering if there is a way to stop this? Thanks in advance Tyrael Meow 22:38, January 17, 2010 (UTC)

dear Tyrael, this is a response before reading your request, make sure you put a heading for your issue ;) ~ PheNaxKian talk 22:40, January 17, 2010 (UTC)

Looking at the history it was User:Brandnew. I blocked him for 3 days for 1RR (and "vandalism" to a lesser degree) ~ PheNaxKian talk 22:43, January 17, 2010 (UTC)

Thank you! Tyrael Meow 22:45, January 17, 2010 (UTC)

[1] more random npa. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gringo (talk • contribs) (UTC). 05:24, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

I'd link to the posts where you're making an ass of yourself, but, really, you managed to do that on admin talk pages so I figure this will sort itself out. However, Jake, please stop being a stupid nigger. ··· Danny So Cute 05:40, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

Since I'm mildly involved in this one (in a roundabout way), I'll let another admin handle this issue. However, I would like to remind everyone that these issues between you and Jake are commonly initiated by you. That's not to say that Jake or anyone else can ignore PvX:NPA, but it is a bit of a joke to pick a fight and them run and tell mommy when you get punched in the mouth.

i would love some links. telling you that i shouldn't be build master to tell people to follow rules is not provoking him. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gringo (talk • contribs) (UTC). 17:06, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

I meant in past circumstances, not necessarily with this issue. And for the last time, I followed policy to a 't' on that removal. However, this is becoming a discussion, so I'll digress. Please wait for another admin to review the situation. Karate Jesus 17:09, 20 January 2010

to me the comment sounded more like he was insulting himself than attacking you :/. ~ PheNaxKian talk 19:31, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

did you misread it...? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gringo (talk • contribs) (UTC). 20:29, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

To be fair...if you reread it, it does look like Jake's talking about himself. I don't think he intended it, but it's funny either way. Karate Jesus 20:40, 20 January 2010

From the way I read it, it does look like he should have re-worded it. Oh well. Issue solved. -- ¬ Big McStrongfist 20:47, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

I think it can be read in multiple ways, I just read it more as an insult to himself (that may not of has been his intention, and I apologise for what I'm implying to Jake). ~ PheNaxKian talk 21:04, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

Could you provide a link, Donte? Karate Jesus 23:00, 20 January 2010

Do a checkuser on him? I sense a fail troll or troll bait. 23:01, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

Which one? I've checkuser'd both and neither appears to have another account. Karate Jesus 23:14, 20 January 2010

Zyke what is a troll? I've never heard that term used before. Sorry if I'm being a "noob" ^_^ Donte Rollins 23:52, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

Build-Specific Issues

Build-Specific refers to any issue pertaining to the removal of votes, usually resolved by a Build Master or Administrator. See resolved issues here.

If you wish to dispute another user's vote, it is advised to do so on the build's talk page. This section of the noticeboard is intended to notify Admins or Build Masters of issues that can be speedily resolved (e.g. factually incorrect votes) or issues in need of mediation. Avoid debating builds or votes here.

Note: If applicable, please identify specific votes to improve admin response time.
