Tompkins, will you please do me a favor and ban this user? The reason: he vandalized my user page and said (gasp) Uncyclopedia was "gay". Here's the evidence...[1], and more evidence of vandalism here: [2]. Thanks in advance... Sir C  Holla | CUN --02:21, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Adminship

I have had complaints about your egregious abuse of admin powers, so have removed your adminship as a precaution. I hope you still enjoy being an Uncyclopedian despite this loss of status. Angela 16:44, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Thankyou for motivating me to write the Machinist article in more detail. Nice 7 day warning. I thought i would get away with just a picture idea that i havent figured out how to post, but nooooo.... i have to expand the article. Anyway, I've removed the red stamp and if you can help me post a pic on the site do so please, or i'll report you for abuse of your DM powers in-game.zeno 19:38, 20 June 2006 (UTC) Have a nice day!

Thanks for your help on Machinist! I was hoping to arrange two pics side by side like the Green Day example on shit music. A Before and After Pic... The Bale Machinist pic you found is the one i wanted to use. If you could help put the image on the page,,, i will honour you with one wish,,, of any kind...zeno 07:54, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Yeah i liked the placements of all the pics and just seeing the code on how to do it is enough for me to do more... Just one thing... I'm gonna try to put Bale_In_Posse.jpg (32KB, MIME type: image/jpeg) at the top with caption maybe "A Cave Man Machinist defending the Herd"... Thanks soo much for your time...

Ban from voting

If somebody votes in the UK General Election for the Monster Raving Loony Party, are they banned from ever voting again? It you really did take this seriously then you should realise that my votes neither affect the outcome or are against the rules. You do not have any valid reason to place this ban, as such, you are simply doing it because somebody gets under your skin a little, which isn't really a proper reason to ban someone from voting. I'm entitled to my vote, whether I want to waste it or not, that should be my decision and my decision only. You probably only did it because I voted for your opponent in WotM. I'm not really in a position to say this, but in a way I am - grow up! If you can't put up with somebody, you are not in a position to be an admin. -- Boothman 09:53, 11 June 2006 (UTC).

I believe Rataube said it best here:

Uncy maxims: 1. Be funny and 2 Don´t be a dick. You accomplish neither of them.--Rataube 15:45, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

You're not paying Uncyc's taxes. You're not "entitled" to anything. —rc (t) 14:54, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Well then neither is anybody - and therefore admins should have no more "power" than the rest of tripe on here. And those "Uncy maxims" are exactly that, maxims. -- Boothman 18:31, 11 June 2006 (UTC).

*tries to maintain composure... for the children!* Boothman, you've had numerous warnings about your voting behavior. Yes, there's freedom of choice, but that only goes so far when you use it simply to harm other people with little backing. It's because of this that we had this incident. Saying that whether you want to waste your vote is up to you is all fine and dandy, but a bit (only a bit, mind you) like saying you want to waste your throwing axes and it's up to you where you want to waste them. Even if the outcome is small, it has an outcome, and in early voting stages, that can be crippling (which I've noticed is where you commonly vote Against).

If you can't put up with somebody, you are not in a position to be an admin.

Okay, that made me chuckle a bit. Admins are designed to not put up with things. As they are the closest a wiki has to lawkeepers, you should respect them. They don't pay Uncyclopedia's taxes, but they do keep it running better than any other user which is what taxes are all about.

Right, I've spoken my mind. Either accept it or bring on the slander. I'm sure you know which one is the real answer. --Kalir, Wandering Hippie Salesman 18:42, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

No, freedom of choice goes all the way, and if it doesn't, it's not freedom is it? And I'm not *harming* anybody am I? Throwing axes can hardly be compared to voting "against" somebody in a meaningless award poll on a supposedly satirical website, can it? You all take this too seriously. I only started playing about with my votes because of Zombiebaron's hilarious reaction to an against vote which was in a poll with only one entrant. It's not really an award if you don't beat anyone now is it? And if I truly wanted to vote I could always make different accounts with different IP addresses and really fuck things up. Be glad that I don't, and reinstate my motherfuckin' votes, motherbastards. -- Boothman 18:59, 11 June 2006 (UTC).

Mr. Boothman, I can sort of empathize with what you're experiencing here, but I'm afraid you might have to show a bit more empathy yourself. It's true that for some of us the awards are meaningless and silly. But for others, they might just be the one bright spot in an otherwise dull and frustrating existence. You just have to respect that some people really enjoy and appreciate these things, and try not look down on them for it, at least not publicly. All in all, the admins here do a fantastic job of keeping things running smoothly, freedom or no freedom, rules or no rules — but their success almost always depends on the rest of us too, for maintaining an atmosphere of mutual respect, even if we seriously disagree on things occasionally or get angry over various misunderstandings and disputes. Like I say, for some of us it's hard to accept all that, but you just have to try, for the good of all. If you can do that, you'll do just fine. I actually like your material, btw - it could use some more polish here and there, but if you stick around and work things out, the rest of us might just help you achieve that, and more besides, and you'll be the better for it. Trust me! Anyway, sorry to butt in - couldn't help myself, I guess.  c • > • cunwapquc? 19:43, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

To extend your metaphor, Boothman, if you had publicly declared that one of the candidates in a UK general election was a fudge packer they could have sued you into the ground. Such is the consequence of exercising your "freedoms" at random in the real world. It's also not possible to retract votes or vote twice. Whining about freedom as if it doesn't come with responsabilities, claiming that no harm was done on behalf of everyone you tried it on with, and then hoping that "satire" let's you off the hook is disingenuous. --Sir Hardwick Fundlebuggy (Bleat) 02:27, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Now you're just trolling. If you're continually annoying and disruptive on a voting page, we'll ban you per maxim #1 above. It's really very simple. —rc (t) 03:04, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Reverting the archive

I'm sorry for trying to tell you how to do your job. When I was reverting Suresh's changes to Uncyclopedia:Pages for deletion/archive38, he was the last editor. I didn't look at the edit history again and I saw that Suresh accidentally added a vote and removed it while changing the formatting. There wasn't an edit conflict because I was alredy using an old version of the page. I also thought you would use talk pages for communication.

I was using the archive to find pages where users forgot to remove the {{vfd}} tags. --Sbluen 05:32, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Eurovision

Well, that is your discretion. I had called it because 1: it was at the bottom of a list on VFD exceeding 25 articles 2: I had been informed that deletion was at -6, and 3: it did not appear the article would reach -6 votes. It had been up for several days, during which many other articles nominated after it had hit six kill votes.
