As I've mentioned to some of you in chat, we've been having a problem lately on the sandbox wiki with a user called DoctorHeretic blanking the main page of the sandbox wiki. After the first time, an incredibly acerbic edit was made to the page specifically telling him not to edit it (Which I later removed. It was late, and I'd been in a crappy mood. Calling him a cocksucker was a little lot over the top.), and the page was locked. He unlocked the page and did it again.
We've cleaned up after you twice. Edit the front page of the sandbox wiki again and I'm permanantly banning you from it and submitting you to be banned from the SCP wiki proper.
Seeing as how my page is completely gone I'm guessing I did something wrong
Out of curiosity where was I supposed to put my page if not there?
I was trying to figure out why the url said start
Try actually reading that page you keep erasing, buddy.
Note, the front page is the one containing instructions on how to create a new page. To reach the edit button, he had to scroll past all of that explanatory text.
I'm not trying to be a dick but I did follow the instructions on that page and what followed was the very thing you are angry about.
I still don't understand precisely what I did wrong would you care to explain?
or perhaps refer me to someone who can?
This is unbelievably bullshit. But I'll humor him.
…wait. You genuinely don't understand?
No I don't
I went to write a article I was brought to a page that said "sandbox" which in most websites is the area you write up a article before you submit it which I figured would be the case here so I did.
I saw a bit of text that said "click here when finished to submit" but the link didn't take me anywhere.
I'm not trying to step on anyone's toes I'm just confused as to where I went wrong.
Do you know?
wasn't trying to piss anyone off
Frankly, I'd be inclined to believe him if it hadn't been the "here's instructions on how to create a new page" page he'd been overwriting. But I went ahead and sent him a final PM:
The sandbox wiki is an entirely separate website, not a page on the SCP wiki. On it, you are supposed to create a new page and edit that as you see fit. Instead, you blanked and overwrote the main directory page for the website, thus making everyone else's page inaccessible. Then, when we edited it to fix your foul up, and made an edit specifically to tell you not to do that, you did it again.
Look, I'm a nice guy, but my tolerance for stupidity is extremely low. Right now, I'm having a really hard time believing that you're actually as dumb as you're acting, and have the distinct impression you're a troll playing stupid. So. This is your last message from me re the sandbox wiki. Unfuck yourself, or I simply ban you and stop worrying about it.
And now he's created a baww thread on the forums claiming to have no idea what he's doing wrong. Note that the concept of creating and editing pages on the main wiki clicks for him just fine.
So, recap. A user with experience working with wiki format and editing who knows how to use modmin powers to unlock a locked page is blanking the front page of a wiki and claims he doesn't know what he's doing wrong.
There you have it. If he's a troll he's fantastic. If he's stupid, he's LBD level incapable of grasping the concept of personal wrongdoing stupid, and I intend to act accordingly. If I have any other problems with him at all on the sandbox wiki, or one more manifestation of "what I don't get it" appears, he's banned from that wiki.
