Hello, Thedreadedkettle/MONGO'd archive 1

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.

If I see you adding one more {{unfunny}} to an article you're ostracized to a special ED cellar.. ~ Banaan 12:34, 12 Jan 2006 (UTC)

{{unfunny}} tags are for user pages only. You're lucky Banaan didn't drop the ban hammer on you already. ~ Krade ^{hi yo~} 16:23, 12 Jan 2006 (UTC)

• that would be quite something huh? ~ Banaan 23:03, 12 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Bing Crosby might be the Messiah to you, but to me he's just a very naughty crooner. Don't forget (as many people seem to do) that ED is supposed to feature drama and lulz from the Internets. Isn't there a Bing Crosby fan community or forum out there in cyberspace? --Jacknstock 03:43, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

• Ok, sorry it lacked the lulz. I'll remember that - Thedreadedkettle 06:59, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your help. --Jacknstock 03:11, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

• No problem. I did it for the sake of the lulz-Ket 03:13, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

ERRORZS!!11

any idea why I get this every time after I edit? the edit still works apparently, since when I check pages they are changed...

Database error

--TheRealSlimSelina 08:21, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

• I have no idea how to correct it. Maybe it's just an error in the version of mediawiki used? Talk to the admins about it-Ket 23:00, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Sysopped

You're sysopped. Here's what we're doing:

1. Go to Special:DoubleRedirects, check the history of the fucked article at the end, revert to good version, then move back to right article name.
2. Make sure the talk page comes too.
3. Protect every page from moves only when you're done.
4. Delete useless article names.

--Sheneequa 23:12, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

• No problem-Ket 23:26, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

K, everything fixed, now to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Let's protect every page in the database from being moved... This may take awhile. Obviously, articles are the most important. Go to Special:Allpages and you start from the top, I'll start from the bottom and see how far we get. --Sheneequa 23:41, 18 June 2006 (UTC) You and I are currently bots to avoid clogging recentchanges. Also, I'm done with Z through symbols after Z. --Sheneequa 23:56, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

        • I guess it isn't worth cutting over. But we're protecting all the pages from moves just to stop this happening again-Ket 00:06, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
      • Oh, fuck. Why has everything gone to shit post-Jacknstock? And is there anything I can do, short of being sysopped, to protect the lulz?--PcockoSixFiveOh 00:08, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
        • Maybe you could just check the "contributions" of the vandals to see if we missed anything?-Ket 00:09, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Paco can talk to Krade about sysop. And Ket, please checkoff stuff at my user page so we know how far we're getting. --Sheneequa 00:15, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

KET JOIN ED_ADMINS K? --Sheneequa 03:34, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

zomg hi Ket. So what ails me is that GV banninated me because she thought I was the tard who was going around redirecting pages to "GOD JUST BAN ME ALREADY" or whatever it was, and changing the text to ED SUCKS ED SUCKS etc. I think the first place I saw this was on Nigger. What actually happened was me reverting the changes, but I guess she was trying to clamp down on the guy and just banned whoever she saw interacting with the page. My actual ED username is Starkruzr, but I also created JTD and this nick so that I could get on people's talk pages to ask for help. So, unban plz? Thx <3 --JDK 18:11, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

1st Evar!!!

Ket, you get the first evar Andrewpants award for protecting the lulz of the wiki. --Sheneequa 04:52, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

        • lol... Are we imageshack? I asked twice whether he/she was going to do anything with the images with no reply, and gave them an hour to use them. I also assumed they read the welcome, as there was a 3 minute gap between a couple of uploads after User:Blu Aardvark welcomed them. The ban is just to make sure they don't try it again...though I could have been more lenient-Ket 06:40, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
          • Hey, a lot of sysops would've banned him forever. We're free to do whatever pretty much. --Sheneequa 06:43, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
            • I just need a bit of time to get used to the feel of my banhammer. I've seen people banned for less than that, anyway-Ket 06:54, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
            • "We're free to do whatever pretty much." Be careful what you say, remember "Yep, we're virtually unbannable. --Jacknstock 23:53, 21 Feb 2006 (UTC)" lol--Not an E! Insider 08:02, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

LOL WHAT. --Sheneequa 07:28, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

• Sorry... I'm having a REALLY shit day-Ket 07:30, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

No prob, just don't block people for one edit. It should be more like

• noob fanboys
• leet kettle sez NO
• noob fanboys again
• leet kettle bans the fuck out of noob.

Or if they do a lot in a row then go ahead and ban. I just think one edit without warning isn't enough. As for the imageshack person it's a fine decision to ban them, they'll probably never come back anyway and they were probably trying to use ED for just that purpose.

And if you ever feel remorse, say IDIFTL 3 times. --Sheneequa 07:38, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

• Thx for the advice-Ket 07:52, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

I earned this!

Some argue that there are better ways to waste your time than spamming ED. -Ket 10:27, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Nah, more like this:

Except your edits are genuine, just noone else is making any contribs. Must be doing something else, personally I am writing a computer program that emulates a game of dreidel lol --What's an interrobang‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽ 10:32, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

  • lol, horny old men thinking about the young ladies OK, such perverts. --What's an interrobang‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽ 10:50, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
    • Blegh, I do not want to think about old men doing shit like that. I'd rather think of them in a rocking chair or telling deranged stories to their grandkids-Ket 10:54, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
      • To quote my physics teacher, "All young men do it at night, 1% who say they don't are lyers. Old men do it till they fall down OK" (from this post about IRL drama) and I think by "fall down" he meant die. Lol, he can be such a pervert sometimes. --What's an interrobang‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽ 11:02, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
        • OhGodOhGodOhGod! Your physics teacher tells you this stuff? lol, that is hilarious. All mine ever does is rant about stuff noone gives a shit about-Ket 11:11, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
          • Yeah, physics gets pretty crazy some all of the time. It's fun except for when a) We have a test and can't remember anything other than the funny way he says "organism" or b) When he goes to far, which is what sparked that lj entry and a whole heap of discussion on a shitty proboards forum (which reminds me, I gotta get back to working on my good forum after this silly dreidel thing) --What's an interrobang‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽ 11:27, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
            • I just thought of something-Do we have a Proboards article? Anyway, have fun with your dreidel thingo-Ket 11:35, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
              • Yeah, we need a proboards article, linked to from Freewebs lol. I might get around to writing one later/tomorrow unless you want to do the honors. --What's an interrobang‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽ 11:46, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

      • It's surprising what is on Wikipedia, one time I went to Lolicon (Loli wasn't informative enough) and it had tons of loli on it, now its been replaced with just this tamer image thank god. --What's an interrobang‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽ 09:49, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
