User talk:Daniel Benfield

Welcome
Welcome to Central Wikia, Daniel Benfield!

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 Help Desk. 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! -- CatherineMunro (Talk) 02:42, 2009 September 29

Don't feel the trolls
Hi Daniel. It's best to ignore trolls like this. If you let them wind you up, they find it more fun and will do it even more. If they list anything on eBay, you can complain to eBay, but it sounds like a rather silly threat when the content is already on a public wiki in the first place. Obviously you should never give your password out to anyone. Instead, I recommend you change your password to be something unique and very hard to guess or crack. Where are they saying these things? Is it possible to just avoid those places or block them from contacting you? Angela (talk) 23:47, October 1, 2009 (UTC)


 * There's no reason to ever give any person your Wikia password. For security, I will remove your adminship on the wiki temporarily so that they can not do any damage even if they do get it, which if you make sure it's a good strong password, they will not be able to. I really do suggest you stop talking to them or remove yourself from wherever you are hearing these things. Angela (talk) 00:05, October 2, 2009 (UTC)


 * You don't have to give them a fake password or any password. Just stop talking to them and they'll get bored and go away! Angela (talk) 00:08, October 2, 2009 (UTC)


 * If they have really listed it on craigslist (which they might just lying about to upset to), then you can use the prohibited link on the craigslist site to report it and they will take it down. But anyone can read the content on the wiki, so they don't actually gain anything from this, do they? Is this happening on IRC or somewhere else? Angela (talk) 00:15, October 2, 2009 (UTC)


 * It sounds like a good idea to sign off from mibbet for a day or two and let them calm down about this. It's most likely that they just move on to something else and stop worrying about the wiki once you do that. Angela (talk) 00:23, October 2, 2009 (UTC)


 * Just having your computer IP address is no big deal. You can find those in many places, like from emails sent and even on wikis from edits made while logged out. If they have your home mailing address and you're concerned, then you should talk to your local police about that. I expect the best thing to do is just ignore them and move on. There have been no recent bad edits on the wiki, so it looks like things are locked down enough for now. Angela (talk) 13:28, October 4, 2009 (UTC)
