Guild Wars Wiki:Sysop discretion log

GWW:SYSOPLOG

This page is for sysop actions that contradict written policy per adminship policy. Note that this is not required for discretionary actions with an absense of any directly supporting or opposing written policy, but they are also allowed here (especially if the status is questionable).

To avoid misunderstandings, new log entries should only be made by the sysop who performed the action. When someone objects that action and it is not listed here, the respective sysop should be contacted on his or her talk page first.

Temporary deletion of Help:Ask an account question

I temporarily deleted Help:Ask an account question to remove one edit, in which an editor posted his or her access key and passwords, apparently due to mistaking us for support. -- Image:User Gordon Ecker sig.png Gordon Ecker (talk) 04:32, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Shard's 6 week ban

I feel his rant on Regina's talk page has once again stepped over the line into violation of GWW:NPA. If any of you feel differently, feel free to change it. --Wyn's Talk page Wyn 03:15, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Super Igor's 6 week ban

Since he was kind enough to point out Cursed Angel's NPA violations against him, I went through some of his posts since he's been back and found several NPA violations, thus the renewed block. --Wyn's Talk page Wyn 20:30, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

User:Uchiha Lena & User:Wafflez infinite bans

Uchiha Lena has proven himself to be a disruptive and highly disrespectful user of the wiki. He has flaunted bans, posting through proxy servers. He has been offensive to various users. He has driven other users off of the wiki and has generally displayed "excessive asshattery". He is in no way a positive contributor to the wiki and his limited useful contributions to the main space are grossly outweighed by his negative talk pages contributions.

Wafflez is his alleged girlfriend and is at best a meat puppet and at worst a sockpuppet. This is evidenced by emails sent from the wafflez account and posts made by it also displaying Lena's tact for language and offence. Therefore this account has been blocked in addition.

Pending the result of any further arbcomm Lena and Wafflez may be unbanned to dispute these claims, but I belive a majority of users will agree with the outcome, and any allegations of sysop "biasedness" are clearly unfounded.

Please feel free to message me on my talk page regarding these decisions if you disagree. Or email another sysop if you are Lena or Wafflez to complain, which you undoubtedly will.

I personally hope this will bring an end to the whole saga. --LemmingImage:User Lemming64 sigicon.png 23:30, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Temporary promotions

I have temporarily promoted User:Satanael and User:Erasculio to sysop to enable them to help set up the Feedback namespace. I expect that they will not take advantage of the situation and will be closely monitoring logs for either user taking inappropriate action. If anyone notices such inappropriate actions before I do, please notify me or one of the other two bcrats for their demotions. - Tanetris 18:55, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

User:Noxify

Banned this account and deleted the RfA it created. While this was not an emergency block or an ongoing problem, current sysops were not dealing with it so I stepped in. I assume this was not User:NoXiFy as he has no reason to make a new account with only one contribtion to start an RfA. The RfA can be restored if it was in fact him.

Guild Wars Wiki:Elections/2009-10 bureaucrat election/Mtew

Self-evidently a joke nomination created by a sockpuppet. While I don't love setting the precedent of sysops deleting nominations, I also believe that joke nominations inherently undermine the system as a whole (not to mention that they have the potential effect of upsetting the user who has been nominated). — Defiant Elements +talk 02:04, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Reduction of Zesbeer's block from 24 hours to 14 hours.

I was contacted by Zesbeer to look into his block, after going over Zes's edis for the past week and viewing the actions which resulted in his block, I believe that the message Auron was trying to get across, was accomplished and the remaining time of the block would serve no extra purpose in this instance and thus reduced his block by 10 hours. I did try to contact Auron before taking this action, but was unable to do so, however it was pointed out to me that I should have contacted him via mail, which I neglected to do, thus my sincere apologies for that. I have left a message on zes's page concerning his block and making it clear that one should always assume good faith, which includes faith that the user is not a sock account, which Zes failed to do in this instance.
