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.

General Issues

General issues include (un)deleting pages, (un)protecting pages, banning vandals, and moderating serious disputes. This section may also be used for miscellaneous issues as well as Administrative announcements. See resolved issues here.

Wants to help with the GvG portal. I promised him that if I unblocked him and he screwed around, that I would perma-ban him. Is it ok if I unban him to assist me in this endeavor? —ǥrɩɳsɧƿoɲ 18:57, 16 September 2007 (CEST)

I'd say no. Was banned on the 11th, will become unbanned the 18th. Also, I don't want to make it seem like we will do an early unban for anyone who promises to help out with a project or something. Єяøהħ 19:17, 16 September 2007 (CEST)

Build-Specific Issues

Build-Specific refers to any issue pertaining to the removal of votes. See resolved issues here.

Team - Dagger Spam Pressure (talk · rate)

Saying a build is bad because a specific other build would counter it shows a lack of understanding of game mechanics given that every build has counters, and, the build he cites probably wouldn't even work, given than an AoG Derv would probably be foiled by the hex Necro. Defiant Elements Sig Test 2 *Defiant Elements* +talk 17:56, 14 September 2007 (CEST)

Sigh... user re-voted, and he responded in part to why I believed his comment should have been removed, however, he did not address the fact that of course, every build/team has counters, and it's not fair to rate a build low because he can cite a build which happens to be suited to beat it. Defiant Elements Sig Test 2 *Defiant Elements* +talk 00:11, 15 September 2007 (CEST)
HMM? that only happens on? o what is it.... o i know 99% of all builds here. Vetting system is suck. Bim 00:14, 15 September 2007 (CEST)
English please. —ǥrɩɳsɧƿoɲŞƳŞŌƤ 00:15, 15 September 2007 (CEST)
First of all, these posts shouldn't be responded to unless your comment actually effects the status of the request. Second of all, I would disagree with your contention. Excepting cases in which someone voted down because the meta provided a counter to the build (like, this won't work now that everyone is using skill x), I don't commonly see ratings that are based solely on the idea that onla single, now overly common, build is acts as a counter. Defiant Elements Sig Test 2 *Defiant Elements* +talk 00:17, 15 September 2007 (CEST)
explain please -Bim 00:15, 15 September 2007 (CEST)
"HMM? that only happens on? o what is it.... o i know 99% of all builds here. Vetting system is suck." is not english. Can you please rephrase your collection of letters to form coherent and understandable sentences? —ǥrɩɳsɧƿoɲŞƳŞŌƤ 00:18, 15 September 2007 (CEST)
Sorry i meant more like biased voting, low votes to keep out of certain category, large gangs of users dominating a build, the usual etc etc. And i was using sarcasm, claiming i forgot and then suddenly remembered. just pay attention to the 99% part. And btw welcome to the internet where people go ZFGOSALOLAZOMG!!! and say things like phail mucho times Bim 00:21, 15 September 2007 (CEST)

Build:R/P_Hero_Battle_Spear_Ranger

Skakid9090's build should be removed (again?). He vote 0 in Universality because its usable in hero battles only but its designed for HB only.

Coding Issues

Coding refers to any issue or bug that needs to be dealt with by a Server Administrator (Gcardinal or Hhhippo).

Rate Tab

This is directed at gcard or anyone who has coding experience. Is there anyway for you to be able to have the rate tab available while on the discussion tab? It's kinda annoying to go to the build tab again just to rate something after adding to the discussion. --Lost 05:43, 24 August 2007 (CEST)

I agree, it is a lil annoying... hardly priority though. Search system>this. --User:Frvwfr2 frvwfr2 (T/C/Sysop) 05:58, 24 August 2007 (CEST)

Vote Removal

Since you guys keep the back-end work pretty much to GCardinal and Hhhippo, I'll request here an ability to restore removed votes. Shouldn't be too hard, and it is easier than posting on the users talk pages and getting them to do it themselves. Less aggravating too. Thanks. - Kowal Krowman {{sysop}} 05:45, 30 August 2007 (CEST)

EOTN Title Specific Skills

The 50 EOTN PvE Title Track based skills don't work when trying to create a build. Currently, I have left them as optional and inserted a comment underneath which says about the skills. ---Andyhhp

That's because they haven't been added yet. Єяøהħ 19:47, 10 September 2007 (CEST)

Raw Signature

New raw sigs seem to not be working atm. --Edru viransu//QQ about me/sysop 03:02, 11 September 2007 (CEST)

Works for me, can you give an example? – HHHIPPO ‹sysop› 09:35, 11 September 2007 (CEST)
I used a template in the nickname box and it worked. I was trying to put it directly in, and it wasn't working. Bluemilkman/Talk To Me 13:22, 11 September 2007 (CEST)
Hmm, mine is directly in the box and works. Are you sure you used the same code for both tries? Can you reproduce it? Is it the same code as used in your signature above? – HHHIPPO ‹sysop› 18:50, 11 September 2007 (CEST)
Works now, hmmm. Must not have liked me for some reason. Bluemilkman/Talk To Me 03:33, 13 September 2007 (CEST)
Prolly was just conforming to the rest of us... unless I'm not supposed to let you know yet, in which case it was probably rebelling against us. Єяøהħ 03:36, 13 September 2007 (CEST)

Div Frames

They don't work. Some examples of hide-able div frames are this and this. —ǥrɩɳsɧƿoɲ 16:15, 16 September 2007 (CEST)

What do you mean? Єяøהħ 16:57, 16 September 2007 (CEST)
Click the show/hide buttons. —ǥrɩɳsɧƿoɲ 16:59, 16 September 2007 (CEST)
Sorry, at frist I thought those were PvX links. I'm sitting here thinking "they work fine for me..." Єяøהħ 17:05, 16 September 2007 (CEST)
