The Wikipedia Welcome Squad is now in crunch time for the decision on whether to delete or not. Therefore, if you don't mind, please tell why you want the squad. In the discussion the !votes are 7 for, 7 against, and 2 neutral. With 2 admins on the other side, we need more "keeps" to make our case.

personal abuse
Please place your warning in context, their was an entire paragraph of abuse leveled at this editor on the minimal techno discussion page. Did you actually read it? Your childish muscle flexing is not amusing. Semitransgenic (talk) 10:57, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I did read it and I have issued level 4 warning to the 2 offending editors, yourself included. it is NOT good enough for two editors to be using words such as those, I dont like templating regulers but I will if you dont act like one. Might recommend you read wikipedias policy on civilty before you accuse me of mussle flexing. Prom3th3an (talk) 11:00, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
words such as what? the individual clearly demonstrated himself to be an irrational idiot, this is not personal abuse, it is a perfectly valid observation based upon the individuals behavior. I was actually being nice to the guy. Semitransgenic (talk) 11:06, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Two wrongs do not make a right on ANY messure, I'm more frustrated at that fact that you intentionaly flared him with your "idiot" remark and made no attempt to get him to calm down or remove his post that may have offended others. Prom3th3an (talk) 11:08, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I am sorry but diplomacy with idiots is not something I wish to engage in, I really have more constructive things to do. Surely Wiki is an encyclopedia not a training camp for anger management therapists. However, I will refrain from entertaining myself at other peoples expensive in future. Semitransgenic (talk) 11:16, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thankyou, But i do agree on something you said and that is "Surely Wiki is an encyclopedia not a training camp for anger management therapists" but unfortunetly i just enforce the rules. If you want it to be put in persepective "There is a fatal flaw in the system. Vandals, trolls and malactors are given respect, whereas those who are here to actually create an encyclopedia, and to do meaningful work, are slapped in the face and not given the support needed to do the work they need to do." RickK Prom3th3an (talk) 12:27, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes I have noticed this flaw, and I believe there are very simple solutions but for some reason upper admin chooses to be overtly egalitarian about everything that happens on Wiki, irrespective of the disruptive behavior of certain individuals. The fact that any unregistered individual breezing through can just fire off edits and comments, on a whim, is problematic. No registration, no contributions, would be the most sensible policy, and make registration a more protracted affair so only those with a genuine interest will take the time to do so. Also, unsigned comments should not be logged and IP blocking should not be reversible. Semitransgenic (talk) 13:22, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Nice to see we agree on something :-) But I must admit I have seen many IP contributors that arnt vandals (which is reassuring). The flaw mentioned is wikipedias greatest strength, but its also its achillies heel. I personally think its far easyer to ban IP users than it is to find ban sockpuppets :-). Either way I decided to get involved here (one life sentance) and to help (another life sentance :-) fight vandalism (another life sentance being served concurrently :-) Prom3th3an (talk) 22:17, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Thanks
No problem. Sorry to hear that your userpage is getting vandalised. It is fairly standard for people who deal with vandals, and I personally find it amusing when it happens to mine, but I can understand that it annoys you. If you feel strongly about it, the page could be semi-protected, which would probably prevent the vast majority of vandalism. Cheers TigerShark (talk) 11:13, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Sure I understand, although I find that userpage vandalism is usually spotted quite quickly by RC patrollers, but not always. You may want to consider semi-protection if it is happening frequently. Cheers TigerShark (talk) 11:47, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hi there, sorry for the delay in responding - I was distracted. I have semi-protected User:Prom3th3an for you, not comfortable about the idea of protecting a talk page but do let me know if you have any sub-pages that you want protecting as well? Kind regards, nancy(talk)13:02, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
In the future, you'll usually get a faster response at WP:RFPP, and it also helps to sign your posts on talk pages. I'm not currently active, so it's good to see someone else took care of it. Happy editing. Hersfold(t/a/c)17:39, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You've been beating me to the revert alot and I was wondering what programs you use for vandal fighting, thanks :). -- Nn123645 (talk) 13:16, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I use Huggle, its the best, but it also uses native rollback (hence my rollback rights). I'm pretty sure it will work without rollback rights though. Prom3th3an (talk) 13:42, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah I have rollback, but the only thing I ever found was Vandal Proof, I always found Twinkle much faster. Setting up Huggle now, thanks for the information, and thanks for the smile =). -- Nn123645 (talk) 22:25, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Please note, adding "testicles" to a heading may be amusing to you, however this style is not acceptable on wikipedia and is reffered to as vandalism, I gave you a gentle (lvl 1) reminder. If you wish to add remarks such as those I think you may be more welcome at uncyclopedia.org as we do not apprciate vandalism here. Prom3th3an (talk) 08:55, 26 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Don't worry
Yeah, we're all human, so don't worry about the GTA 2 soundtrack problem. 85.251.14.248 (talk·contribs)
Quite frankly i didnt read your userpage, might i suggest you put the retired message on your talk page also because i just saw you were a VP mod and left you a message (as i did with all vp mods) Prom3th3an (talk) 22:09, 26 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
coaching
Hi,
Im highly interested in admin coaching, as i would like to become an admin in the near future and also to learn about an admins roles, dutys and ethics. Following instuctions on the coaching page it was suggested that I contact an admin who hasnt got any coachees instead of waiting for things to be done for me. I was wondering if you had the time to admin coach me, I look foward to your reply, Cheers Prom3th3an (talk) 08:39, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi Promethean,
Although I can't imagine why the answer would be anything other than "yes", I hope you don't mind if I take a short while to go through your contributions before I make it official.
I was wondering, where did you get your user page design, more specifically the part below your navigation bar? -- RyRy5 (talk) 06:22, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I got it of a wikipedian called cream as you most porbably already know seeing that your going to be / are desiging his userpage :-) Prom3th3an (talk) 06:25, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes and I could see right through your motive for asking. Cream is well aware I aquired the design and has no objections to it, after all wikipedia is GFDL. I like your designs (except for the framing on Useight's userpage) keep with em' Prom3th3an (talk) 06:30, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. If you ever need any help with your user page design, or even a wikiproject or something similar, just ask on my talk page. --RyRy5 (talk) 06:39, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
