Changes: Forum:Should this wiki start regulating Anon posts?

Revision as of 21:14, 13 April 2011

Forums: Index → War Room → Should this wiki start regulating Anon posts?

Several Anons like to troll because they think they can get away with it such as the one a this IP here; 75.47.237.140 the one here began trolling me simply because I said that Osama Bin Laden being playable in a CoD game would cause controversy due to him being responsible for the destruction of the World Trade Center, afterwards he told me I was dumb because Laden was allied with the U.S and there was no proof he did it. Afterwards I proceeded to correct him and then he begins insulting me and telling me I will end up with a dead end job and calling me a "15 year old fanboy" for listening to my teachers in school(WTF how did SCHOOL get dragged into this?)now before you guys start telling me I am stupid I know that not all Anons are like this but a lot are because they think that we have no way of tracking them and unknown to them their IP adresses are recorded so we can block them, but even those that do know that does not stop them so I feel this wiki needs stricter policies concerning Anon posts.

I don't see what we could do, really. Most people with account don't bother to read policies, let alone anonymous editors. Template:Signatures/Sactage 20:32, April 13, 2011 (UTC)

Block the Anons for a period of time? The basic solution? TheEpicShot 20:37, April 13, 2011 (UTC)

We already do that. Making a policy regulating it would be a waste of time. Template:Signatures/Sactage 20:39, April 13, 2011 (UTC)

Lmao, i dont read the policies, i learn by experience and common sense. And i was there when that specific anon started trolling, it was just annoying as hell seeing his idioticy shine.DrkDragonz66 ^Talk 21:14, April 13, 2011 (UTC)

Since it's on the same topic, I'll reply to the message you left on my talk here. Anonymous users are most likely not aware of policies. I'm sorry you got flamed, but you shouldn't take such offence from a flamer, because being offended is giving them what they want. We can easily deal with offending comments. It takes 2 seconds to delete them, and most are deleted quite quickly after they are made. There is no reason to restrict posting by all anons because you felt offended. I strongly oppose any segregation of usergroups when it comes to blog comments. --Callofduty4 20:39, April 13, 2011 (UTC)

Thing is if you read the posts he made you'll see WHY I was offended. TheEpicShot 20:41, April 13, 2011 (UTC)

No offence, but it is a well known (and believe it or not, widely believed, even by Americans) conspiracy theory that the US was behind the 9/11 attacks. --Callofduty4 20:51, April 13, 2011 (UTC)

Loose Change. <--- That. Smuff^{[citation provided]} 20:57, April 13, 2011 (UTC)

Look, when it comes to anon posts that are flamebait, leave them alone.~~Unless you can think of a witty putdown which will silence the anon, don't do that. Like I do.~~AdvancedRookie 20:45, April 13, 2011 (UTC)

Uhhhh... there's a tonne of users with over 1,000 edits who haven't even read the policies, what am I supposed to say? Block anons and new users until they read our policies? There's nothing like that which could or should be used in that manner; if a wikian doesn't want to make an account, that is their choice. I'm not going to even try to punish them for that, remember that "A wikia contributor" can take the shape of anyone, be they a troll or a honest editor. There's a few anons with more mainspace edits than some of the people on here with accounts. So, as CoD4 said above, strong oppose. Smuff^{[citation provided]} 20:47, April 13, 2011 (UTC)

Smuff and Callofduty4 said it all. — Doc. Richtoffee ^TALK ^| ^EDITS ^| ^CONTRIBS 20:51, April 13, 2011 (UTC)

Also, I have noticed that you do comment on blogs quite a bit, best thing is to read and not to get involved on them, as it can only start of trouble. Also, please remove the 'People I hate' section on your userpage, i'm not quite sure but it might count as a personal attack or something. — Doc.

Yes I agree, having a hate section on your page probably isn't good. Unless those listed isn't anyone on the wiki. You should just have a friend section, like I do. Except nobody signs my friend list. Why do you people hate me?AdvancedRookie 21:10, April 13, 2011 (UTC)
