More Admins

I think in light of the whole argument thing we should leave them a while. We're doing OK for admins for the time being anyway. Chris ^{talk - mod} 15:35, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

MT

I figure we should give Magical Trevor a go as an Admin for two weeks. Edits seem to be of a generally good standard, dedicated etc. We need members from lower years anyway.

CC

Caption Competition: we've had no new photos for years and it's just not that well used. If you can find some decent photos you can resurrect it, but I don't think we have a large enough user base. Chris ^{talk - mod} 22:37, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

I think we made the site as a bit of an experiment to start with, and we're pretty surprised it's still running! Long may it continue..

Admins

With regards to promoting people to Admin status: there are a couple of candidates but I don't think establishing an arbitrary number of posts is going to be particularly effective. How about if someone wants to be an Admin they should ask one of us, as the two active Bureaucrats, and we can then discuss it and promote them if we both agree? Obviously the more Admins we have, the less of an accolade it is, and we only really need a handful active at any one time. Let me know what you think.

Chris ^{talk - mod} 11:08, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

Also, I think we're doing OK for Admins at the minute. Let's give it a couple of weeks and evaluate the situation then.

Chris ^{talk - mod} 18:06, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

Hi again

Re: Campon something

A week is fine in my opinion. Chris ^{talk - mod} 08:13, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Hello!

Hi there. First off, many thanks for keeping an eye on the wiki. My name's Chris, I'm one of the founder members but sadly not an admin. I left in 2006 so it's been a fair while! Just to say I really appreciate what you've been doing on the site. I haven't had much contact with Dave (who runs the site) recently, but if you send an email to the wiki account I'm sure he can sort out the admin details. I'll try and get in touch too.

Just to add.. if there are any pages that need deleting or people who need banning, drop a message on the Moderation Requests (as you have been doing) and/or on my talk page and I'll sort them out when I get the time. Thanks again!

Helping Out

Sure, I can help around. I know a few things I could add and cleanup.

I'll go along with any plans you have to improve the site.

thanks

Hey

It's real nice that you're so enthusiastic, but you have a hell of a superiority complex. Branding every other person who doesn't agree with you 'Sockpuppetry of Idiot123‎' is just silly and uncalled for. It's a website, not the meaning of life. Chill.

Eve 12:13, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

Undo it, report it, ignore it. When it comes down to it, you don't have the power to ban IP's, or even look at them, so you'll never really know. It's rude to brand people you don't know 'sockpuppets', whatever they may or may not of done, especially when you have no concrete proof.

Eve 11:01, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

An invite

BRGSman will you and fellow editer Twisted spoon join my team to clean up this wiki Camponhoyle 20:40, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Adminship

Please could you make me an admin. I only have a low rate of edits because you have done most of them.Camponhoyle 20:00, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Sellens

It is an attack on what mrs sellens said in 07n first lesson and she is the victim of alot of abuse.I am afraid that the teachers may intervene and ban us all.Campon Hoyle your friendly neighbourhood editer 21:47, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Congrats

Well done on becoming a BEUROCRAT!!!! Magical Trevor 09:55, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Oh... actually, no it's not. I'm just having 2007 flashbacks.

What's with all these new accounts?

Eve 11:01, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Not false

I did not make an acusation i just wanted to monitor the editer to prove it wasnt him.Campon Hoyle your friendly neighbourhood editer 14:30, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Say Whut (and yes, that is spelt wrong on purpose, before anyone says)

Ok, so you make a page, tell two users to argue on it, then ban the users.

o.O

Eve 20:09, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Wasn't that kinda the point of the page...

Eve 20:21, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

No... the point of me pointing out those account was to show you the similarities with what was happening back in 2007 and what's happening now. This wiki always has outbreaks of drama

Eve 20:32, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

I think... you'll never know. Could be. But we thought it 'could be' a lot of people last time. There was no way to prove it so we just ignored them until they got bored.

Eve 20:45, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

uh sure...? You'd have to ask the people who run the site though...

Eve 20:52, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Yeah that's cool. Thanks

Eve 21:07, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Something Smells Fishy...

Hi BRGSMan. I have seen some edits by someone named Servant Camponhoyle, and I'm starting to believe there is at least one link between this editor, and the one known as Camponhoyle. Care to discuss? Thanks, Sellers (WithAnN) 19:11, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

I believe it is connected to a account on wikipedia that vandalised the site. It has no connection to me other than the people who created it knew me. By all means ban them if they vandalise but dont ban me as my i.p. address is not the same, so that will prove it was not me. Campon Hoyle your friendly neighbourhood editer 19:12, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

In fact, I believe the account are actually linked to SellersWithAnN and you BRGSMan, as both me and you know this person and we both know that BRGSMan was the original creator of ServantHoyle on wikipedia. Campon Hoyle your friendly neighbourhood editer 19:14, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Camponhoyle, fair enough I created that account, but I have put that behind of me and that is why I am an Admin today so you can count me out. Sellers with an N could potentially be the culprit, but to be honest, I'm not exactly sure. BRGSMan 19:18, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Obviously, it isn't me Mr Camponhoyle, as I am still editing pages and am not banned. No matter what has happened in the past, this is still happening now, so I think you should be put under watch until this is all sorted. Thanks, Sellers (WithAnN) 19:22, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Why

Why would i risk getting my account banned when i am trying to become an admin and have got over 250 edits that i would have to start again if my account was banned.Campon Hoyle your friendly neighbourhood editer 19:24, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

No you wouldn't. The ban is not neccesserily permanent. BRGSMan 19:25, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Okaaay...

First off, IP address' are all very nice and everything, and they do work for banning quite a few people, but the fact is, I could get free legal software that would tell you that I was editing from Canada, when, in fact I would be ediing from my house (not Canada). So as I said yesterday, you should just keep editing out any abusive edits made by a user, and keep banning the account. It is very easy to pretend to be someone else on the internet, and you're very unlikely to resolve this completley.

Eve 19:30, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

For example, take a look at my IP for this edit. It should be America or something, when clearly, I am not in America.

Eve 19:34, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

There's no government law stopping you, it's just the capibilities of the website. Or your privilages. Either way, meh. Point still stands.

Eve 19:46, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Sorry to stick my nose in but you could argue that the ip address when used in conjunction with a isp could be used to trace an individual thus breaching the Data protection act of 1988 which makes the public distrubution of any infomation relating to the wareabouts of any person living in the united knigdom withought there or the responsible adults in the case of an under 16 year olds permision illegal.Campon Hoyle your friendly neighbourhood editer 19:58, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Admin

Hi BRGSMan, i am interested in becoming an admin to help improve the BRGSWiki site. I have ties with the school and will be able to help update pages. Hopefully you will be able to help me and put a good word in for me with the bureaucrats. Many thanks, BRGSHelper

Hi there, I would definitely interested in making you an admin, but you will need a couple of hundred edits to prove yourself. Also, remember to sign your coments with four tildes ~ otherwise it is considered rude around here. Many thanks BRGSMan 20:07, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Why

I would like to know why I am banned when i have done nothing.Campon Hoyle your friendly neighbourhood editer 20:15, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the help with the new signiture.Camponhoyle ^{Your Friendly Neigbourhood Admin - Me!} 21:26, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

Admin

Congrats on the status upgrade, and it would be really cool to become an admin/mod whatever. Thanks =)

Eve 18:39, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Hihi, Sorry I was being terribly rude not sorting that out a week or so ago: I've been a bit busy with the whole degree thing. It'd be great to have you on the bureaucrat team and provide a fresh perspective on the whole wiki, indeed feel free to implement changes to policy and the agenda of the website. It's difficult for many of us who've left already to be up-to-speed on everything and to know what's acceptable or crossing the line. I shall continue to keep the wiki technically supported and funded. All the best, David DavidB

Thank you, my friend will now have peace of mind. TheJanitor 21:58, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

You're very welcome. Any other help? Let me know! Thanks BRGSMan ^{talk - contribs} 21:59, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO DELETE CONNOR'S PAGE! NOW DELETE IT PLEASE FOR MY FRIEND'S SAKE!

Calm down! The page was deleted and obviously somebody created it again. There's nothing wrong with it this time so I'm NOT deleting it. |||| Whats wrong with my tildes? Any other help? Let me know! Thanks BRGSMan ^{talk - contribs} 17:42, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Admin Pages

Why? That's just pointless. Surely it's LESS likely to be vandilised now that I can undo any vandilism myself with one click.

Eve 22:02, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Since when? =(

Eve 22:07, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Now that I deleted the redirect to my own page, can I un-protect it?

Eve 20:28, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

Please

Please could you consider making me and admin as I have contributing sensibly Magical Trevor 12:37, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

I woul also like to ask if i could become an admin.Camponhoyle ^{Your Friendly Neigbourhood Admin - Me!} 14:18, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Red Links

There's been a lot of deleting of red links, which yeah, makes the page look better, but seeing a red link could encourage people to actually create the page, and if the page does get created, it means not having to go back into all the pages and put the links back in. Just wondering what you guys think.

Eve 16:47, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Mr Chambers

That's about all I can think of right now, but I'm sure something else will spring to mind later
