Blocking
Hello. I have heard that a friend of mine, User:64.252.124.32 has been autoblocked for spamming on SmashWiki. While I concede that his actions do constitute for spam, I request that he is unblocked because he is aware of the mistakes he made. In the future would you mind warning him before blocking? He has made some useful contributions but I believe he was carried away with the move and took it too far. Mr. Anon 23:22, April 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * No. Out of interest, which of these contributions do you count as "useful"?  Random Time  23:24, April 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * His normal account was Doc King} and he made some useful edits. [[User:Mr. Anon|Mr. Anon] 23:32, April 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * That block wasn't performed by me, but by a local admin - Toomai.  Random Time  23:34, April 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * That's not the block I was talking about. I was talking about your block to his IP. I'm fine with blocking his IP at SmashWiki, but around all of wikia? I believe he is even an admin at one. Would mind reducing his block to only SmashWikia please? I would also request that you lift the spam filter for the NIWA smashwiki, as some wish to link to it on their userpage.

AWB
Hi RT, can we use AWB to send messages to many users ?


 * No answer ? !

Thanks
Hey. Thanks for clearing up that Mass Effect vandalism on the Uncharted wiki. That guy that's spamming everywhere just doesn't seem to be giving up. He's even gone off Wikia now and has started spamming external forums, although I know you can't do anything to fix that. Thanks again for sorting it out. I'll let you know if I see him/her using any other accounts. --Klock101 16:57, May 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * No worries, he did state in his intital vandalism that he was going to do that, hopefully the forum mods at wherever he's posting will have the sense to delete his posts without causing too much of a hassle.  Random Time  19:01, May 1, 2011 (UTC)

AWB Question of my own
Hey, I myself have an AWB question. I have been trying to figure this one out for a while. Is it possible to exclude images from a find and replace somehow? I have been trying to correct character names on Bleach wiki but often times people don't use the japanese accents when uploading files so when I am trying to replace Kugo with Kūgo, it also changes any image names with Kugo in them, messing up the image. Is there any way to exclude those?--
 * There's a tickbox box on AWB's find and replace for you to ignore external/internal links, images, math and no wiki tags and comments - not one for only images though. For anything more complex, you'd probably need to break out regular expressions.  Random Time  18:54, May 1, 2011 (UTC)

Talk Page Edit
Hey Randomtime, I know you deleted an edit to my talk page on the ME wiki a few days ago, but something keeps bugging me. While it was probably something I would have reverted, is there any way I can see what it said or what the edit was? I'm not saying to restore the edit, but rather I just want to see what it stated. I just looked at the VSTF wiki and one of the comments there peaked by curiosity and like I said, it keeps bugging me. Lancer1289 16:28, May 5, 2011 (UTC)

Spams
Hey can you block this anon : This because he is spamming comments with external links?
 * Tommy6 dealt with it before I got there  Random Time  12:58, May 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah i saw it. Sorry for bothering you :)
 * No worries, he didn't do everything we normally do for spambots, so your message allowed me to check a couple of things  Random Time  13:34, May 26, 2011 (UTC)

meepsheep
Hello, meepsheep vandalised the glee wiki again and when I was deleting his contributions I accidentally clicked on one of the image and my laptop's failing to start-up since then. Can you delete his contribs for me?
 * Oh and I'm using this through my phone.
 * Looks like Uber's dealt with it whilst I was asleep.  Random Time  10:36, May 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah I see it now. Sorry for bothering you, I've have done it myself but I accidentally clicked on the image he posted which was linked to a maliciously site and my laptop was failing to start-up and I had to do a system-repairing.
 * That site as linked shouldn't have done that to your computer.  Random Time  11:05, May 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah I know but it did. Just after I went to the site my firefox window started moving wildly and then my laptop went off after that I couldn't start it up properly (It would hang when it shows starting windows).
 * The javascript on that site was designed to move your window about, it shouldn't have any effect on anything else, though, odd. You can turn off some of the behaviour of javascript that should stop this happening in future by going to tools, options, content, pressing the "advanced" button by the box marked "enable javascript" - and unticking the 3 boxes.  Random Time  11:20, May 30, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah but it still doesn't answer why my laptop didn't start-up after that.
 * It's still not starting?  Random Time  11:27, May 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * It is working now but I had to do a system-repairing. Oh and I had to re-install my firefox because it stopped working after that.
 * If your system is up to date, then I can't see it being more than a coincidence. It sounds like firefox was trying to restore the previous tabs, and crashing again.  Random Time  11:34, May 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah my system is upto date so it can be a coincidence. My firefox is Firefox 5.0. And it just wouldn't open after the incident so i had to reinstall it.

misunderstanding
im sorry Mr. Randomtimme,but it has come to my attention that you have recently blocked me from messaging. I would like to clear that up by informing you that it was a (very unlucky) typo. I hope youll reconsider my blocked status and allow me to ask your help fo the reason below.

I have had some trouble with crafting items. i.e.:buckets,demonite tools/armor, hellore tools/armor/weapons(mainly because ive searched a wide part of hellworld and still cant find a broken down building w/ a hellforge), and also i cant find any magic stars. This may be because i have a cracked version,because i wanted to try the game before buying it cause im quite picky, so if you can help me with that please do.

note:im not sure what to put for my sign so i put this V
