If you use those words, you should be okay.
We expect people to use at least high-school-graduate vocabulary, grammar, and syntax, and that's what you're using here.

Yes. If we didn't have Moderation running, they or anyone else would be able to get the old edits out of the page history. This is just an extension of that.

No worries. We've all had bad days in the past.

At least your bad days don't manifest as snarly, snarky lashing out. (He said, trying to look innocent and failing.)

Yes, it is always fine give them copy of their original edits. If need be, it can be posted in a downloadable text file (and you can give them a private link to download it, many services exist for this purpose.

It’s a vexing problem. It’s hard to jump from a redlink to a well developed article. To compound this, many series are written as works pages (Rather than Series Pages) that are amalgamations of various works into a single page, rather than their individual works.
Shame lower decks is ending. It had some interesting ideas, though it was understandably not every trekkies cup of tea.

Wikis are gone again.
Yes, all of them.
I filed the last ticket. Bob filed the one before. Labster, it's your turn.
EDIT, two minutes later: Never mind - the public wikis are back.

I got 504s for about a minute somewhere around 1:30 or so. Something's definitely up, so file that ticket anyway. The wikis shouldn't vanish unexpectedly, however briefly they do so.

ATT and KanriKyara were both MIA and SOL for just as long as it took for me to post about it in "My Apartment Manager" and come here. The hell is going on that the wikis completely vanish for just a few minutes at a time so frequently?

Just a reminder, since I see an edit to a YMMV subpage in the moderation queue and I don't have time to look at it right now...
YMMV pages list people's opinions. We don't remove people's opinions without saying why.

Just replied to a new user with the oh-so-delightful screen name of "Spinosaurus Jizz"...
Quote:Moderation usually takes days, and we do not guarantee even a 72-hour turnaround. Send ing a mod a message after five minutes after making the edit does not speed the process - in fact, it slows the process beccause we have to answer questions instead of doing things like moderating edits.
So, yeah, no need to rush that edit through the queue.

Oh, for god's sake.
HLIAA14YOG is at it again, spewing more bile than usual and declaring outright that the film Barbie is evil.

Considering the invective directed against identifiable people, I'd say this is a violation of ATT:1WAY. And it isn't the first time.
And this time he's posted text that easily can be read as libellous (at least under Canadian law).
We need opinions that don't match those of the majority of tropers. We do not need legal headaches.
I'm putting him On Notice, pending a discussion. Tempban or permanent ban? I see no viable third option.

He's been tempbanned before, and we've stripped his automod/autopatrolled bit from him how many times already? If he hasn't learned by now, he's not going to. Permban.

Since I don't know the hate speech laws in the USA, is he in violationof this subsection of Miraheze's Global Conduct Policy?

He was already put on notice, last month. One-week tempban with possibilities of further sanctions.

I confess I'm very disappointed. I had hoped he'd have taken my friendly warning to quit spewing bile and keep a civil tongue.
Since he cannot, I support sterner measures. I'd like to put forth a rule modification for reviews stating that while strong opinions are fine, they should avoid naked hatred and be rendered in a civil and dispassionate manner.
As for whether his comments are a violation of hate speech laws under U.S. law, no, but just barely. Vile and mean yes, but his opinion, vile as it is, does not demand the incitement of violence against the targets of his ire, merely his contempt.

Thanks, Geth. No need to refer this to the Stewards, then.
