"Other/additional reason"

Try to resist the temptation to add a custom block explanation as the drop-down summaries are sufficient; pleas, like the ones you write in the "Other/additional reason" box, have the effect of feeding the troll.--Launchballer 20:47, 23 February 2020 (UTC)

The moron is getting on my nearves sorry I’ll try not to do this unless it’s needed.

User Private

Even though he’s made no edits on his IP or account his username was inappropriate.

Can't agree with you. Yes, private has... that definition. My first thought was 'rank in the army'. See what (s)he does - username blocks should only be reserved for obvious violations. We can always reblock.--Launchballer 11:08, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

Ok I’ve had to reblock as It has been putting private in the box and it’s rude definition, maybe it’s the same guy who’s done the others but I’m not sure enough.MartinS

I stand corrected. You should sign your posts with ~~~~ though.--Launchballer 11:39, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

Thanks MartinS 11:41, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

Discussions

Please put messages for a user on their talk page rather than their user page as they do will not receive a notification anywhere else.--Launchballer 11:42, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

Ok thanks a lot have you blocked him ? I don’t think he needs blocking as he probably didn’t know MartinS 12:13, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

I don’t know how I blocked JC it was a total mistake MartinS 12:28, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

Dave1 moved Countdown in Milton Keynes within a minute of creating the account, and three minutes after being warned he created another account and moved another page again within a minute. He clearly knew exactly what he was doing.--Launchballer 12:45, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

Oh right, He was up to no good was he.........does this happen regular and is it the same person do you think MartinS 15:47, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

Check your talk page someone is been very rude I don’t always Rvv it’s just if I’m around the wiki, that’s all, shall I block him ? MartinS 16:28, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

Talk page

I will decide what goes on my talk page, thank you. Removing the comment does not remove my notification.--Launchballer 18:13, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

Why are you being suspicious 😒?

Have you run the check yet, I’m not involved in it (as you’ll find), why are you been suspicious? MartinS 20:22, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

Here's how I would do it, and frankly it looks really complicated. Another time.--Launchballer 20:33, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for that shall we just leave that user ?, now we can both get on with maintaining the wiki I like been an admin, how long have you been an admin ?MartinS 20:46, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

File:D195CDEB-8122-4FBF-9B2A-0407904CDE8F.jpeg

There were four things wrong with your upload of File:D195CDEB-8122-4FBF-9B2A-0407904CDE8F.jpeg. Files should have a descriptive title; "D195CDEB-8122-4FBF-9B2A-0407904CDE8F" tells me nothing. We prefer pngs as they are of better image quality. Large files cause glitches, and so files should be uploaded at the size at which they will be used. And there's got to be a better shot you can take of Iain Campbell - try and take a side-on shot like the one at, for example, File:Ryan Styles.png.--Launchballer 22:17, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

Hi Mate, sorry about this I was only doing trying it, I don’t edit the wiki much anyway I just check to see what’s happening. MartinS 19:29, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

Recapping

You must remember that the editors here are volunteers. They are surrendering their time to help out on-wiki because they enjoy it; they are under no obligation to do so and attempting to herd editors into roles is going to put people off.--Launchballer 20:41, 12 March 2020 (UTC)

Sorry, just to ask, how come you are a beuracrat ? MartinS 08:57, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

Honestly? I don't actually know. I asked Charlie for admin rights and he gave me bureaucracy as well. Not complaining.--Launchballer 10:22, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

May I politely ask, can I be a bureaucrat?MartinS 10:33, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

I'd rather not, the need to use the right arises so infrequently that you only need one.--Launchballer 14:38, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

I think I’d like to be one so I can be secure and admin everything, so I can work with you to protect the wiki MartinS 16:06, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

Series 1

You really need to be more careful when deleting articles because this wiki does not keep deleted revisions. Always block before reverting any vandalism. This is a copy of what it looked like two weeks ago, you set about redoing it, I'm going to see if I can convert it using a tool.--Launchballer 12:37, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

I was so annoyed with myself, I know I should have checked better, what tool you going to use. What we gunna do if we can’t ? I’m so annoyed. I’m supposed to be professional and sorry for coming out with a gob of foul when I blocked him, that was just me when I’m annoyed MartinS 13:00, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

The above message was me when I'm annoyed and I was still able to remain fairly civil. I will say you're not the first administrator to do that - JohnnyCanuck got caught at Rhys Benjamin less than a month ago.--Launchballer 13:24, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

What did JC do ?MartinS 13:30, 16 March 2020 (UTC) Also thanks for doing it MartinS 13:30, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

He deleted Rhys BenjamIn with the history of Rhys Benjamin still underneath it.--Launchballer 14:17, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

Ok, I’ve removed the B word as it was a bit rude I do still want to know who you are, are you a man or a woman? MartinS 14:42, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

I'd rather not say who I am.--Launchballer 14:53, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

Ok. If you don’t want to divulge don’t worry but are you male or female, or are you Ashton Hancock MartinS 16:48, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

I am not Ashton Hancock, and I would question how you know about them given that the last time an account called "Ashton Hancock" was blocked was six months before you arrived. I can tell you that I am questioning my gender, so I don't want even to give you that in case I give you false information.--Launchballer 16:54, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

I have looked at the blocked accounts that’s all and I know bits about him through word of mouth, you are questioning your gender, that’s not true how can it be, have you get a penis or a vagina it’s simple, so I take that with a pinch 🤏 of salt. MartinS 17:00, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

You should probably do some research into what dysphoria is as it is a serious mental health condition.--Launchballer 17:16, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

Oh right I’ll look into that............was you born male or female ? I’m not pushing or making you uncomfortable intentionally I just want to be more familiar with you. Have you been on TVMartinS 17:20, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

I was born male, and I was on ITV London in 2007. (Giving any more details than that would personally identify me, so I won't be giving any more information about myself.)--Launchballer 17:37, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

U been to any co-events ? MartinS 18:08, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

I was hoping to attend the London events in 2018 and 2019, but fell ill right before each, and I'm not willing to venture far beyond London.--Launchballer 18:16, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

Do you live near there ? U doing CoLon20? I think I have an idea, I’m not been stalking but my I ask ?, was you today’s challenger? MartinS 18:33, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

For reasons I would rather not disclose, I am unlikely ever to appear on TV. I live in London, two buses away from both St Albans and Redhill. I will make a decision as to whether or not to attend CoLon 2020 nearer the time.--Launchballer 18:50, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

Moving away from that topic, What was the thing McLaungery22 said about Damian going on Apterous, I’m not an apterite so can you show me a photo of itMartinS 18:58, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

File:Chat log screendump 15'3'20.png. I've zoomed right out and taken a portrait screendump to cram as much in as possible, so you'll need to click the image, "Full resolution" and zoom right in.--Launchballer 10:41, 17 March 2020 (UTC)

It’s blurd !!!! MartinS 10:57, 17 March 2020 (UTC)

I did wonder that, but I decided to upload anyway because the important bits are all on a white background and (for me at least) can be read fine. I can't produce anything better on my system so perhaps you'd like to create an account - it is free to become a trial player which would mean you could see the logs.--Launchballer 11:19, 17 March 2020 (UTC)
