Irony Toned Down

After I pointed out the irony of RobinHood70 warning a user for editing somebody else's user page after he'd just done the same, Eshe and Elliot the Thick both tell him to stop being vicious. Our green-stockinged hero hilariously claims that the edit summaries were proof that the page blanking was deliberate, and it is left to EtT to point out that such summaries are automatically-generated.

Now recall that RobinHood70 has been editing since 30 May 2006 and has been a patroller since 28 April 2008. So you'd expect him to be Recent Changes-savvy enough to have spotted the auto summaries before now? Apparently not.

Tail between his legs, RH tones down the warning.

Remember that this is the man who definitely doesn't want to be an admin right now. With all the policy violations recently, that's probably just as well.

Robin Hood 2

Well that didn't take long!

First, the Hood's paranoia shows on his talk page then he takes it to the Administrator Noticeboard again, where first one, then two users tell him to leave it alone, followed up by more bleatings from RH that serve only to indicate how stupid he is.

Getting fed up with his previous Noticeboard post being ignored, RH then sticks his tongue firmly up Nephele in an attempt to get her to listen to him.

RobinHood - people are going to tell you when you're breaking policy whether you want them too or not. The best solution is not to do it.

UPDATE! First Timenn then Eshe say that they would also prefer to obey policy rather than just unilaterally delete stuff they don't like from user's pages. Of course that means that the green-tighted one needs another couple of whines over the admin noticeboard. Perhaps now everybody has told him they think he's wrong, he'll STFU.

Robin Hood! Steals from the Anons!

Robin Hood! Robin Hood! Riding Through the Glen!
Robin Hood! Robin Hood! With his band of men!

Well the first entry of our dramatis personae turns out to be a non-admin, which I certainly hadn't expected when I created the blog. Instead, we have RobinHood70 - a patroller who definitely does not want to be an admin.

Unfortunately, his quest to definitely not be an admin seems to keep hitting speedbumps courtesy of various anon editors who point out that he violates policy when it suits him. For instance, he deletes a recent talk page comment on the grounds that it's old and wrong. An anon points out that talk pages should be left alone. RH disagrees because it's "old, anonymous and also wrong", so the anon replies that it's less than a month old and that, again, talk page posts shouldn't be deleted. The anon also points out on RobinHood70's talk page that those criteria could be used to delete 90% of the site's talk pages.

RobinHood70 = pwn3d

Of course, he doesn't like that so adds a petty post to the Administrator's Noticeboard saying that people who don't agree with him should be banned as trolls.

Nobody agrees... or even replies.

Well... you'd have thought he would have learned a lesson. But.... no. Now RH turns his fire on the old message on Dagoth Ur, Mad God's user page, and requests comments on his user page. Another IP duly reverts the change and spanks him for making it.

Will RobinHood70 learn that he doesn't have free range over other user's pages, or article talk pages? Stay tuned!
