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.

General Issues

General problems, such as user conduct, vandalism, and bans. Also, suggestions can be posted here. All can be resolved by an Administrator. See resolved General Issues here.

Repeated removal of comments on Build talk:E/A RTL Dash Away‎. Life 03:44, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

next time leave him a message on his talk page before coming here, then if he keeps removing comments report it =p ~ PheNaxKian Sysop 10:50, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

I left a message on the freaking talk page that he was removing the comments from, and he removed that message. Life 19:34, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

"next time leave him a message on his talk page". He's more likely to notice a comment on his talk page because of the giant banner saying "you have a new message". If you post on the build talk page, chances are he won't read it because he thinks it's continuing along the same line as the OP, and not necessarily read it, you can do both if you wanted, but you should always leave a message on the users talk page. ~ PheNaxKian Sysop 19:41, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

You might want to check out Havoc928 and Havoc983 they both voted on the same build with very similar ratings. Drahgal Meir 19:44, 13 July 2009 (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.

Me/Rt Vengeful Raptor Farmer HM (talk · rate)

At least one vote compares to farming build for other classes which can't be run on a Mesmer, so if you didn't have one of those classes this could actually be your best bet. Also the build has been said to be slow, and while it's not the fastest, it's not much worse that the Rt/Me version, which is Great-rated.

PvX doesn't care what class it is. How much ingenuity does it take to figure out that if you go Me/Rt instead of Rt/Me, the bar's gonna work just about the same? Try reading PW:VETTING and you'll get the idea. ··· Danny Does Drugs 17:49, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Belzer123 being stupid. Then again, I don't HA. 20:13, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

I am being Stupid for testing this build and noting it doesnt work?!? Have you even tested it yourself? I voted it like that because that is my experience of this build, you cant just remove it!! I made a R6/7+ team, got on vent, explained everything, went in and got killed, because: the hexes get removed too quickly, you have too many squishies (your necros get spiked down very quickly even by the most retarded teams), and you just cant beat teams like Rspike or Iway because they have a defense that is too good, for teams like hexway if they have a mesmer you are screwed. 9:48, 4 july 2009 (UTC)

2 really lame votes destroying the overall rating. It works very very well, who the hell cares if oyu need an elite to do a build, 99.999% of builds revolve around their elites. The tag on the build is also stupid, I am not seeing that tag on the Any/Rt Norn tournament farming build. Does it do whats its meant to do? Yes, Do we have a build already like that? No, Is it the best way to do it? at this current time. no reason it should be voted as trash when it is clearly not. pvx, your voting system is becoming a joke. come on.UNREAL 01:23, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
