User talk:I am the best robot

Welcome
Welcome to Central Wikia, I am the best robot!

We're a friendly community here; most of us are active on an individual wiki, and many of us are active on more than one.

If you're looking for help, a help wiki can be found here, and you're welcome to ask the community questions on the Community Central Forum. If you need assistance from a staff member, you can contact the Community Team using Special:Contact.

You can get live help from community members and staff in our IRC channel. There are also channels for larger Wikia and their communities. Here you can socialize and get to know your community!

If you have an idea for a new wiki, please create one! Check out our list of new wikis and see if any of them interest you. A directory of existing wikis is also available.

Finally, please keep an eye on the recent changes to see what the community is up to here.

Enjoy! -- Charitwo (Talk) 06:35, March 6, 2011

Thanks
Thanks for the auto greet. Nice links! I am a non-automated greeter for my wiki! We work to provide a friendly environment by starting talk pages and hand greeting new users. This gives the personal touch that no other wiki provides. If you wish to know more, please contact me. --I am the best robot 13:18, May 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * Quite a lot of Wikis just leave talk page messages, and don't have the autowelcome  Random Time  13:48, May 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * Do you mean to say that a lot of wiki's hand greet new users instead of auto-greet? --I am the best robot 13:51, May 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, it's quite common on wikis with a lot of editors, smaller wikis tend not too, because there might not be someone on for a few hours  Random Time  15:41, May 19, 2011 (UTC)

That is really cool. Good to know that there are other greeters out there. I started greeting by encouraging UC's to join. --Best Robot 06:30, May 20, 2011 (UTC)

RE:well hello
Hey there, I am the best robot! lol, that's a mouthful right there :) Thanks for the welcome, and the account "MasterMachine isn't new, it's just new on this wiki. I'm an old timer (sort of) on Sporewiki already with this account. Oh, and if you want to make it easier for your to sign your posts, you can use the 4 "~"s, in a row, to place your sig. Of course, if you already knew this, my bad :D MasterMachine -Only through peace will peace be achieved- Be a friend, save a life. 14:35, May 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for pointing that out. I don't use a signature because I haven't set up one on this wiki. If I sign a post, it will look like the following: LOL...
 * I just hand type a sig and use 5 ~ to make the date stamp. If it becomes probmatic (no link), then I will throw a sig up to sign with --Best Robot 06:18, May 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * There's a trick to work around that which is very useful if you edit several wikis:
 * (replacing yoursigpage with where your sig page is) - what that does is uses a custom sig in your sig page if one exits, and otherwise just links to your regular page. Currently, when you make your signature up, you're not linking to yourself, which makes it hard for someone reading to find you easily.  Random Time  06:28, May 20, 2011 (UTC)

Ya, I don't think it is problematic as of yet... My sig is under a black skin and would need a color invert for this white background, or a new sig. Don't worry... If I get a hint of problems, I will work on my sig. Thanks for the cool code though... I will play with it. --Best Robot 06:36, May 20, 2011 (UTC)

Sig not linking to user page

User rights and user blog posts
Not sure why you turned off comments, but some people do care about your perspective. Wikia really should have more easy to find and clear cut policies, but they don't seem to like them because they don't seem to want to put the effort into maintaining and policing them. If you don't have clear policies, you might think that's an excuse not to enforce any or enforce them fairly.

Part of the problem with your blog post is that it could have been better written with a more neutral point of view. Your anger made it less convincing.

Alot of this is a philosophical conflict between a perspective called inclusionism and deletionism (also called "exclusionism"). You (as am I) seem to be more on the inclusionist side, whereas others (like those who opposed you in comments) are on the deletionist side. You just have to stick to your principles and continue to defend them. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 24 May 2011 2:33 PM Pacific

Thanks for that link. I did not turn off comments, someone else did (I cannot see the history to know who).

I apologize for not making a forum about this community consensus/policy yet. I work crazy hours and get too tired. Hopefully I can get to it on the weekend.

Yes, my anger was up because it took many edits until someone, at least, agreed with clarity on the issue. Its seemed like no one cares, so thank you for showing that someone does :) Also, I am a very factual person and that can come off as cold in text. Thank you for pointedly showing how it can be negative, even for someone on my side.

I believe hitting the UNDO button on a substandard edit is akin to laziness. If the thought is understood, then the responsibility of "guardians of content" is to fix the edit and bring it up to higher standard. I respect good editors with a great command for language and sentence structure (I am trying to improve my own). However, I disrespect (if that is the right word) not using this same talent to fix content and instead take the "easy" way out and just hit UNDO.

My work on a "liaison policy" can be found here. 08:07, May 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi everyone! Wikia hasn't posted clear-cut policies because Community Central has been slowly evolving and establishing its own scope and identity over time. However, we're reaching a point where everyone needs more clarity and direction in this space, and that's clear from all sides. So let's talk about it. I'm collecting input and feedback on what directions Community Central should grow in, what's working, what's not, and how we can make it healthier for everyone involved. Come post your thoughts over here. --Dopp http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 00:45, May 26, 2011 (UTC)
