"No, don't be an idiot. We're not actually going to assume good faith."

"Hold on, I zoned out for a minute. Which one of you was the Icewhiz sock again?"

"Okay, you didn't hear this from me, but they are talking mad shit about you on the Wikiproject Mesmerism discord."

"No, that's not just a normal outhouse — that's a WP:BADHOUSE. They say the last guy who went in there and posted about what happened out here... he never came out! And if you go in there and look in the mirror holding a red candle... and you say his name three times... he'll step out of it and indef you!"

Ha! That was actually pretty good. :D -Keagen J. Cole 🐾 (talk) 13:55, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
We should make WP:BADHOUSE a real guide page, to be honest... : ) Oltrepier (talk) 09:19, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Oltrepier: An unfinished house is a real problem, perhaps? QuickQuokka ^{[⁠talk • contribs]} 11:16, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@QuickQuokka and Oltrepier: The comic above refers to WP:BADSITE and you missed the joke. It has nothing to do with WP:REALPROBLEM. Chris Troutman (talk) 14:30, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Chris troutman: the post was made two months ago. Are you really necroposting on Wikipedia? - The Master of clockHedgehogsclock ^{(always up for a conversation!)} 14:53, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Chris troutman and The Master of Hedgehogs: No worries! As far as I'm aware there's no rule against participating in old/stale discussions (unless they're closed/archived). But yes, I was indeed unaware of the reference and therefore the joke, QuickQuokka ^{[⁠talk • contribs]} 15:35, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Wow! The Signpost is great, actually. Never before had I really read it; glad I started reading it now, I had a good laugh with this one. L'Orfeo^{Son io} — Preceding undated comment added 15:13, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Signpost is looking for new talent.
