Hello, Dollman

THIS IS SERIOUS; READ IT.

Congratulations on joining ED! You probably fit into one of these categories:

1. New User
Before making your first article look over ED:101. Try checking out random articles and fixing typos, grammar and/or bullshit where you find them before trying to make a new page. To start with, make multiple small edits to different articles until you have the hang of it. If you don't, it is unlikely that your article will survive for more than sixty seconds and you risk being molested by ED Sysops.
If you don't know anything about wiki formatting and code, please read ED:BASIC and the Style Guide. Take your time and start slowly.


2. Mediawiki Migrant If you're an experienced wiki user (probably from a Wikipedia offshoot) who knows how to operate, please read ED:101 for offical policy and ED:MIGRANT for tips on assimilation and basic rules.


Whichever you are, to successfully contribute to ED, please take some time to look around, note why other people get banned and don't act like they did.


Communication with other users prevents misunderstandings and can be done through talk pages, TJC and the mailing list.

If you plan on sticking around, feel free to make your mark on the ED:Map and join the all new ED Facebook, the ED Myspace the ED Bebo and follow the ED Twitter.

Ruh Roh, You Got Banned!

Looks like you pissed off SecurityBot!

  • If you were reverting vandalism or making a legitimate edit, contact WhiteMystery and you'll get unblocked ASAP. You most likely got blocked for:
  1. Spamming recent changes. The preview button exists for a reason; use it.
  2. Spamming new pages. The Sandbox and your user page are there for you to experiment with.
  3. Generally being stupid. You should take a look at ED:101 to avoid further problems.
  • If you were actually vandalizing ED, tough shit.

Love, SecurityBot


Srsly, don't spam recent changes. If you get blocked for flood detection again, I'm not going to unblock you. White Mistress 23:13, 15 June 2008 (CDT)

[edit] PROTIP

It's very bad form to edit an article about yourself. And threatening with reverts will only make it more appealing for others to edit war with you. If you want an image removed, you can always ask a SysOp, I think WM is the person who deals with image removal requests. Ask politely and calmly, and if you provide a good reason, usually the image will be removed. --ElStormo 06:01, 20 June 2008 (CDT)
