Striving for the Top

Despite previous protestations to the contrary, it seems that The Great Deceiver is taking his loss of top spot on the Active Users list quite hard! His latest attempt at regaining top spot is to make lots of unnecessary changes to Tamriel Rebuilt pages that change one way of saying "We don't know where this book is" to another way of saying "We don't know where this book is".

To be fair, I can see that it makes sense to some extent, but there are far better things for TGD to be doing than this!

Comment Moderation part 2

I turned comment moderation off for recent posts over a week ago and it doesn't seem as if the idiots are around any more, so I will leave it like that.

It is still ON for posts over a week old. That is mainly so I can spot when there are new comments for old posts and respond (if necessary). It means there may be a little delay before things get published though.

On the other hand, there has been so little silliness over at UESP that there is not likely to be much activity here either. That is obviously a good thing, but on the other hand it means there is less of a need for UESP Watch.

Come on!

I had a lovely Valentine's weekend - a romantic weekend away with my better half - only to discover absolutely nothing worth writing about!

Come on, people! Isn't it about time somebody started another campaign to have inactive patrollers and admins removed? Something!

Can't be Bothered

I had an email asking why I wasn't following the User Categories debate. I'm afraid it's because I simply can't be bothered.

The debate can basically be summarised as:
Elliot acts like a moron
Everybody else tells him to stop being a moron
Elliot continues to be a moron
Everybody else decides to ignore him

Been there. Done that. Blogged about it.

Comment Moderation

I'm afraid I've got bored of reading Elliot's continual, badly-spelled, insult-ridden attempts at self-justification so I have turned on comment moderation for a while.

Comments are still welcome, but it might take a little longer for things to appear. If Elliot posts anything even more idiotic than usual, I'll let it through.

Elliot, you need to learn that repeating the same action time and again with the expectation of different results is a sign of insanity. I suggest you go and seek medical help for your condition. I mean it.

Elliot - total bastard

The Great Deceiver is at it Again

It looks like Rpeh is losing whatever touch he ever claimed to have. Twelve edits to fix some problem or other in the Book Summary template? Even Elliot the Thick isn't that bad!

The Great Deceiver Knocked off his Perch

Sort of.

As of today, Rpeh is no longer the most active user on the site, RoBoT is. Admittedly, RoBoT is a bot run by The Great Deceiver, but there you go. It's been quite some time since Rpeh became number 1 and I can't even remember whether he overtook Nephele or TheRealLurlock to do it.

I wonder if RoBoT will be taking a little break so Rpeh can get his crown back?

Lucius Tarquinius Superbus Kicks Ass!

I'm on a nickname roll. Lucius Tarquinius Superbus is SerCenKing's new name. He's Italian and has "king" in his name, so Google it and bow down before my vast knowledge of history.

ModderElGrande has been blocked before, and Rawtwat started a typically vicious, if somewhat half-hearted attempt to have him perma-banned. The rest of the community rolled their eyes and sighed collectively at yet another piece of Rawtwat vindictiveness so nothing happened.

Lately, MEG has been complaining about the images used on body mod articles. Most other people have said that they don't see a problem, and MEG suddenly claims that this means everybody is "ganging up" on him. Rpeh gently (for once) points out that this isn't true, then Itachi replies and MEG repeats the claim.

At this point, up steps LTS, bestriding the page like a colossus, and makes a post totally out of character. I'm not complaining - it's a quite brilliant post and led directly to his new name. Well done LTS!

Southern Belle Goes a'Snoopin'

It looks to me as if GK (and I've decided to call her Southern Belle because it's time she had a nickname) has been trying to work out who I am. Why do I say this? Because suddenly Timmeh, who hadn't made a post since 1 October 2009 and had only made three since the end of June, pops up on her talk page and posts a message titled "Response to Email" that claims he hasn't even heard of me. I'm hurt! Southern Belle's response also seems to suggest that she asked him if he was me.

No, I'm not Timmeh. But then... if I was, would I admit it?
