Forum:Problem moderator on Kingdom Hearts Fan Fiction Wiki

I recently added some content to the Kingdom Hearts Fan Fiction Wiki, only to find my account there blocked by a moderator called "WolfRisingSun ". His apparent reason was "Inserting nonsense/gibberish into pages: Puts nonsense worlds like the hospital from ER or the Los Angeles seen in "Terminator" into my fan game Kingdom Hearts III, NO ONE FUCKS WITH MY GAME!!! KEEP OFF!!!) ". He's claiming way too much ownership of the Wiki as a whole, the Wiki's block log (http://kingdomheartsfanfiction.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Log/block) shows he has a history of doing this. Virtually all blocks since October 2009 are by him, all with justifications like the following:


 * Inserting nonsense/gibberish into pages: your articles are full of nonsense, grammer and wording makes no sense, come back when you gradutae kindergarten


 * Unacceptable username: We don't want unregistered users just filling our space with garbage and mindless nonsense phrases. Come back when you pass english


 * NO ONE EDITS MY PAGES, EVER!!!)


 * No one messes with my pages with my permission! I RUN THIS WIKI NOT YOU, GO TO HELL!!


 * I MEAN IT! NO MORE UNREGISTERED SHIT ON THIS WIKI, SO STAY OFF!!!)


 * Inserting nonsense/gibberish into pages: YOUR A FUCKING DOUCHBAG, STAY OFF AND DON'T COME BACK UNDER ANOTHER USERNAME. JUST STAY THE FUCK OFF AND GO TO HELL, YOU MOTHERFUCKING BASTARD!

And so forth... Aside from the obvious attitude problem and violations of basic terms and conditions regarding conduct towards other editord that would get any editor banned, this guy is a freaking moderator. He's basically turned the Wiki into his own private little website, banning anyone whose edits displease him. I don't understand how he's gotten away with this for so long or how he became a moderator in the first place, I guess no-one else thought of bringing it up here. It's a small Wiki, after all (then again, without him running his little dictatorship it would probably be twice as big). Frankly I think this guy should be banned or at least have his moderator priviliges, which he is now seriously abusing, revoked or suspended.

I've just contacted him about it, but given his long history of doing this I don't expect much reasoning to be possible. Xerruy 13:23, July 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * If you are unable to resolve it with him, please use w:c:kingdomheartsfanfiction:Special:Contact to report this. -- 13:25, July 9, 2010 (UTC)

Thank you. I already sent a message there yesterday, but that was before I discovered his past abuses on the block log. I'd sent another message, but that would be spamming I guess. I'll seee what comes off the first one. Xerruy 13:33, July 9, 2010 (UTC)

How long does it generally take before Wikia responds to such reports? Xerruy 23:10, July 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Usually about 2 days. Though during weekends it usually takes longer. Wikimania was this week, so most of the staff were there. Mark  ( talk ) 23:32, July 11, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, it's actually multiple admins on the Wiki. Here's another one: http://kingdomheartsfanfiction.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Blaid/Changes. His sociopathy becomes painfully clear in the last few replies, he's on some kind of Palpatine routine or whatever. The other admins are acting more or less the same. Not as crazy, but they've formed a tight cartel, backing each other up whenever someone dares to challenge their dominion. Right now they're in the process of modifying the Wiki's rules to give themselves absolute power (especially # 4 - " any disruption of the unfairness of Admins will be blocked for 1 Week )". They know what they're doing, it's just a role playing game. Xerruy 00:03, July 12, 2010 (UTC)

The guy thinks he is a god.... Just tell mods about this abuse and sociopathic behaviour. Also afterwards don't pay attention to the wikia afterwards. Kajalamorth 17:45, July 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * Looking at that, it seems that he thinks the wiki is his and all articles he makes are his. I feel that he, and any other administrators who agree with him and also block users, should have their powers removed. If this is all of them, then someone will need to adopt the wiki. But, they should be removed or talked to about it. ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  18:09, July 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * I would but if he would pull that crap I would spaz at him. I can't allow myself to go as a low level as them. Like I said this needs Staff to take care of the problem. Kajalamorth 20:04, July 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay I wrote this
 * Okay I wrote this




 * "You are breaking the most important wikia rule. You cannot use your priveliges like YOU are now. You have been reported to the staff and will LOSE your priviliges so if you like your position you should unblock the people you blocked for selfish reasons and stop. So STOP this TYRANNY!" It was short but I go angry in the middle of writing this message Jman2.0, Blaid and Wolf will probably ban me for ever but I will do the special contact thing and boom gone banned. I am tired of these controle freaks. Its a form of antisocial disorder I tell you Kajalamorth 02:33, July 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * That was totally unnecessary :/ I'm sure the staff is working on this already. Give them some time, this is not an easy case. ~IcecreamKitten
 * I know that but I presented a more.... "diplomatic" Every one needs a wake calls. They may be banned from wikia as a whole. Kajalamorth 03:03, July 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * I won't say what you said was totally unnecessary, but it was not well written or even possibly accurate. It would help your case if you presented more calm and rational statements that contained proper spelling and good grammar. Be a bit more patient and take more time before you submit something. Getting too excited often makes things spiral out of control. -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 8:08 PM PST 12 Jul 2010


 * I don't really have any say over this, but I believe this should be taken to a forum on The kingdom hearts fan fiction wiki (the wiki involved with the issue). Central forums is not really the place for this. Thanks. Seahorseruler  (Talk Page) (Contribs) 03:06, July 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * The flaw in your reasoning is that the admins at that wiki may have already banned the person involved in the discussion, thus making forum use impossible. The initial request for advice was a perfectly legitimate use of Community Central Forums. The followup did get off track, though. -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 8:12 PM PST 12 Jul 2010
 * Sorry, I saw it as more of a staff request than asking for advice. Seahorseruler  (Talk Page) (Contribs) 03:15, July 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well all I need to say is that Fandyllic is correct....... So yeah, whatever I don't care anymore these guys are unsavable anyway. :( Kajalamorth 00:13, July 14, 2010 (UTC)

Little cartel, like emperor palpatine, huh?

Let me just say, I became administrator by simply asking the wikia. The KHFF had been abandoned and overrun with nonsense fanfiction. I simply took command and tried to clean up the clutter. In the process I was vandalized, sent abusive messages, and faced a brickwall of heavily dug in members. So I had to get rough and angry back, some times I do go to far still today. In the process, one user I had to ban threatened me across numerous wikias with death and or bodily harm. Xerruyguy managed to get my own e-mail, that really rattled my cage and made me afraid that he's watching my every move from a sniper scope!

Point is, I've had to wade through alot of crap, so If people call me tyrannical, its just that I'm real strict because of all that I've had to put up with. All I want to do is not clutter the wikia up with "garbage" so to speak. By that I mean I don't want five hundred articles about Sora going to the world of "Twilight", or about him fighting Terminators, Predators, and what not. I simply wished to make some simple guidelines.

I could never seem to perfectly explain them, and for some time I was stuck dealing with vandals and abusive message on my own. That is until Radiant and the Jman came along. They shared a common idea, and got just as much hate email. That's why i made them administrators, to help out and make these rules clear.

But then xerrugy came along and started this whole mess.

I don't know what it is you want from me, he's been unblocked and I've apologized. As for kejango I won't apologize. He doesn't know me or the others and what we've been through, yet he comes to the site demanding we all be hanged for our crimes against humanity, standing on his soapbox telling us were evil tyrants disobeying the wikia.

I had to be a little strict, but I don't see what I did as anything crossing the line. It may have been extreme measures, but nothing to deserve being kicked off wikia for all time.

Just take into consideration all the trouble I've been through till this point. If you decide to punish me, I'll except it, but let it be my sole responisibility. Whatever kajingo been telling you, Rad and Jman are not my little legion of doom, they weren't responsible for any of the blockings or strict enforcement, they just agreed with my methods. So don't let them pay for my leadership.

 * First of all, he didn't "manage to get your e-mail". Wikia allows users to e-mail each other, and if you don't like that, you can turn that option off in your preferences.


 * Second, you guys just don't seem to get the point. Admins on wikia are not users that have more "power". They are users that have additional tools which help them take care of their wiki. Their main job is to provide guidance and assistance to new contributors. Everything I've seen from you suggests that you (and your crew) are not willing to do that (in best case). So, why exactly do you need the status of an admin?


 * New users are not equal to potential vandals. You and your crew appear to have some sort of personal crusade against imaginary vandals that are apparently besieging your wiki all the time. Your first reaction to vandalism, real or imaginary, is to block the user (for 20-100 years???). In reality, the primary tool against vandals is the Rollback button. Not block, not angry replies, just a rollback.


 * We can't have admins that scare off new users. If you get angry so easily, let somebody else do the job. --IcecreamKitten 07:58, July 14, 2010 (UTC)

''"The KHFF had been (...) overrun with nonsense fanfiction." ''That's your opinion.

''"I simply took command and tried to clean up the clutter." ''The elemental flaw in your thinking and that of your "seconds-in-command" (as you refer to them on the KHFF Wiki) is that admins are supposed to be "in charge". They're not. I've already posted a link at KHFF that explains this.

''"In the process I was vandalized, sent abusive messages, and faced a brickwall of heavily dug in members." ''And how would you describe your actions at KHFF to my edits and the general way in which you and the other admins were "running" KHFF?

''"In the process, one user I had to ban threatened me across numerous wikias with death and or bodily harm. Xerruyguy managed to get my own e-mail, that really rattled my cage and made me afraid that he's watching my every move from a sniper scope!" ''I'm not claiming you accused me of this, but since you placed these sentences to close to one another I must clarify: I did not at any point threaten Wolf with anything. I only sent a critical e-mail. Not offensive, but to the point.

''"Point is, I've had to wade through alot of crap, so If people call me tyrannical, its just that I'm real strict because of all that I've had to put up with.

By that I mean I don't want five hundred articles about Sora going to the world of "Twilight", or about him fighting Terminators, Predators, and what not.

As are the other admins with their current "additional rules"

''"But then xerrugy came along and started this whole mess." I didn't start a mess, I found'' one and am trying to fix it.

''"he's been unblocked and I've apologized." ''I tried edit something with my Nilmax account today but it still said I was blocked. This is probably just an oversight and since you've stepped down as administrator I'm not going to further bother you with that particular matter. It's not the most pressing issue here anyway. Blaid, by the way, is basically demanding that I "admit my wrongs" before he'd unblock me. I don't think I need to explain how that is yet another abuse of admin priviliges and violation of Community Guideles... Nilmax 21:40, July 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * NB: If you've been unblocked, but still can't edit - chances are you're IP was autoblocked, and was not unblocked when your username was blocked. The system sees there is a block outstanding for your username, and retains the block -- Random Time  21:47, July 20, 2010 (UTC)

.

Call off the Manhunt
You can all relax now, my "reign of terror" is over. As of this morning, I've resigned as administrator.

I advised Blaid and Jman, and their going to unblock all the users 've keep off during my term as Admin. Their also going to take down those pprecious "Additional Rules".

So there, its over. You can alll ge back to your regular lives and stop plotting to assasinate the evil dictators of KHFF.

Just leave me, Blaid, and Jman alone, now. Please!

The other mods
I've tried reasoning with the other moderators on the site, specifically the one called Blaid, but all I get is stuff like this "Don't answer back to this message, I won't be continuing this conversation no matter what you say, long live the Empire and my personal army of Sluts!" I think the fact that people who act like this can get moderator priviliges is an issue of broader concern. 02:05, July 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * There is always Special:Contact. No one on the Community Central Forums who is not Wikia staff can do anything about it. -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 8:01 PM PST 24 Jul 2010


 * They had enough time to sort things out. They didn't. Now there are only a few options left:
 * let the wikia staff sort it out
 * make your own similar wiki, that one is really a disgrace and will not do well with that kind of attitude.
 * Psychiatrical help for some of those guys would not be a bad idea either. IcecreamKitten
