Re: subtle vandalism may persist

Personally have not seen any outstanding examples of subtle vandalism recently. Though I could fill up a long thread with examples of bad writing on WP content.

Vandalism continues to be stupid and obvious 99.99% of the time, and this continues to be even more stupid. And incomplete.

Re: Around the Administrators in 80 days....

So far so good. I'd suggest adding their personal interests from their "Top edits" page.

(If possible. Apparently XTools recently implemented an option where a wiki-asshole can disable their XTools pages for anyone not logged in. Bbb23 is using it--predictably.)

Re: Zoloft plans to increase the number of mods

Several arbitrators were kicked off or even banned. Correct, and evidence is difficult to find. I could rattle off a long list of arbitrators who quit during their terms, were forced out, and/or were later banned. Some of the worst things happened pre-2008, when Wales still ran Arbcom like a privat...

Beeblebrox?
He's certainly got enough antisocial tendencies; I suspect he's also stupid enough to take the job.

Re: Zoloft plans to increase the number of mods

As a former WPO moderator, I will make a side bet with you: those idiots will have great difficulty finding anyone willing to put up with the Zoloft/Tarantino/Jake "Management Style". Of being intolerant of outside opinions, sneaky, furtive, paranoid, and stabby-backy. And not tolerating "doxing" un...

This is only going to make you insane.

Re: Scotland implodes

The UK press covers the story with their usual "panache"

Imagine how many "activists" are screaming and spluttering right now? "Another fucking old white man" etc. etc.

Re: Should this forum send a representative to WikiConf 2024 to monitor what the Wikipediocracy representative is up to?

Apparently Zoloft plans to attend WikiConference North America (Indianapolis,4-6 October 2024) https://wikipediocracy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=13519 I'm planning on attending this conference, as I did in 2016. Are any other Wikipediocracy members interested in attending as well? Why, you may a...

Re: Around the Administrators in 80 days....

Good luck. I got very VERY sick of studying these lesser freaks more than 10 years ago. Repeated name changes on many of them don't help--sometimes the name change isn't listed in the WP:Changing name noticeboard.
