Didn't we come to a concensus, that our Sig Policies were to be less stict then that of Guild Wikis? Just wanting to clarify, and response would be appreciated =). Readem (talk *pvxcontribs ) 00:33, 15 August 2007 (CEST)
 * Yeah, which is why I didn't comment about the  tags for instance.  I'm primarily concerned about flow (which is why I pretty much limited my comments to the size of his signature, not the signature itself).

PvXwiki:Evaluating Administrators
I see nothing to complain about. Might be time for an archive, though. -- Armond Warblade 07:55, 15 August 2007 (CEST)

Time to archive?
'''WARNING: This page is 71 kilobytes long; some browsers may have problems editing pages approaching or longer than 32kb. Please consider breaking the page into smaller sections.'''

You might need to break this up into multiple archives, actually, hehe. That's kinda big.

And a quick postscript; are there any rules for voting on the five finalists in your contest? Such as "no voting on your own submission", etcetera... you don't seem to have any rules listed on the voting page. -- Jioruji Derako.> 01:58, 16 August 2007 (CEST)


 * The only rule is really that you can't vote on your own submission (at least, I can't think of any other necessary rules)... but, I did add a note about that on both contest talk pages. As to the archive... I don't think it's really that hard to navigate if you just use the TOC and RCs, so, until I see a real reason to archive, I don't think it's a major problem.

 * Fine, I'll add a prerequisite to my last comment, it has to be a good reason. Besides, the editing problems don't apply if you edit by section, so, since that would be the only good reason, until it takes me too long to scroll through the TOC, I think I'll be fine.
 * Also, I added one other stipulation to the contest voting: you only get one vote. [[Image:Defiant Elements Sig Test 2.JPG|50x19px]]  *Defiant Elements*   +talk  05:14, 16 August 2007 (CEST)

Sorry
Hey Defiant for the spam with saving, my internet connection wasnt moving, so I thought it wasnt saving, sorry about that.

N/A
What exactly does it mean, when I check a user, and no results come up? What should I do? Readem (talk *pvxcontribs ) 10:57, 18 August 2007 (CEST)
 * Usually it means that the user either doesn't exist/is misspelled (i.e. it can't find the user), or, it means that the user has no contributions (which are required for Check User to function). Alternatively, you could have just put it in the wrong box (i.e. IP vs. User), but, aside from that, it should always return a result.  [[Image:Defiant Elements Sig Test 2.JPG|50x19px]]  *Defiant Elements*   +talk  11:02, 18 August 2007 (CEST)

 * It seems like the checkuser extension was only recording IP numbers for edits made from 11th to 18th of July. This is a bug. I'll see if I can start the recording again, but it might be we have to wait until Gcardinal is back. In any case, edits made before checkuser was installed or while it was bugged will not be accessible. –&thinsp;<font color="darkblue" face="times">H HHIPPO  &thinsp;&lsaquo;<font color="blue" size="-2">sysop &rsaquo; 12:38, 18 August 2007 (CEST)
 * Fixed. I upgraded the checkuser extension. It seems it's now successfully maintaining it's own list of recent changes. Edits made from now on will be added to that list and be accessible via Special:CheckUser. Note that for performance reasons, edits older than 3 months will be removed from the list. Note also that with our current MediaWiki version the XFF functionality of the extension is not supported. –&thinsp;<font color="darkblue" face="times">H HHIPPO  &thinsp;&lsaquo;<font color="blue" size="-2">sysop &rsaquo; 13:34, 19 August 2007 (CEST)

Hey Defiant, new user here. I have a question. Can i use the skill quick reference template you have at the bottom of your page? I don't know if it's yours or a direct copy from the wiki, so I'm defaulting to asking you before I rudely rip it off your page.

 * Ok, so here's the problem. First, you were operating based on "CURRENTDAY" rather than "CURRENTWEEK."  So, I changed that.  Second problem.  "CURRENTWEEK" operates based on the week of the year, not of the month.  So, today for example,  will return a variable answer of 35.  Thus, the string attached to 35 will be shown, and you only had it up to 5.  Finally, your font isn't showing up, but that's just because you need to change the color :).  Hope that helps.

 * Well... you could just start at 35 since that's where we are now. You don't need a string input for each variable.  Or, you could base it on CURRENTDAY, and just list each one 7 times so that variables 1-7 were one build, 8-15 were another, etc.  [[Image:Defiant Elements Sig Test 2.JPG|50x19px]]  *Defiant Elements*   +talk  01:05, 27 August 2007 (CEST)

We may, in the future, change Real Vetting so that users need contributions > 0 to vote, but until then, we'll just have to try and scrutinize the votes that we suspect are made by sockpuppets.

The Bloody Fox 02:32, 4 October 2007 (CEST) I have a slight concern regarding the build I recently submitted "Holy Dwayna", the Admin Defiant Elements was quick to trash it and even rate it poorly without giving any merit to it's strong suits. And I am further led to believe he never even attempted to test the build before duscussing with such malice. This build has never had synergy issues in the test runs for me. Myself and the others who have tried it have never complained of lack of synergy, poor self heals, and lack of res signet(there is an optional slot for a reason) and I would like to see my concerns addressed. If there is any validity to my claim, this would look VERY poor on the part of the administration of the site.
 * First of all, may I ask why you're addressing me in the third person on my own talk page? The second person might have been more appropriate.  Second of all, testing a build is not required, ask anyone, they'll tell you the same.  Additionally, I believe that I provided quite a bit of evidence.  Lyssa's Assault is a low damage attack that yields a negligible amount of energy, holy damage is worthwhile in only a very very limited portion of PvE, and even against Undead, the slot could be put to better use.  Besides which, builds don't have "synergy issues in testing," what I meant was the skills don't appear to have any purpose in furthering each other.  It's just a random compilation of skills.

 * Archive btw. ‽ -(єяøהħ)  no u 07:59, 29 August 2007 (CEST)
 * lol. It's funny really.  I've had a number of favored builds in the course of my GuildWiki/PvXwiki career... and at most, maybe 1 or 2 are anything remotely akin to cookie-cutters (I <3 ridiculous gimmicks).  And, in general, the reason it might seem that Admin builds do well is simply because the Administrators (who are generally pretty experienced players) are posting well-known builds.  Look at the builds Readem has posted for example.  Of course meta builds are gonna get vetted and Echo Menders will not.  What bothers me is that people seem to think that that fact implies that the system is biased.  It's like saying "Oh noes, the vetting system is biased against bad builds, so it obviously fails/is a fascist sham."

 * It's fun to watch sometimes. I do remember how they feel though.  You've been pretty much pwning n00bs for the last month with the build and finally decide to post a build.  First build you put up gets rotflmao'd to death, and you feel like it's designed against you.  After a while, you start to realize people vote weird.  Serioulsy, have how often do you see 3s? People are either OMFG WIN4BUILD 5-5-5, WTF BUILD4TL 0-0-0, or UM,NO.WORKS,NotEXCELLENTTHO 2-1-2. : /  Maybe its just me.  ‽ -(єяøהħ)  no u 08:10, 29 August 2007 (CEST)

 * Pffft, my builds don't even get looked at, much less voted down! Regardless, I never really viewed the system as some sort of bizarre internet backpatting session where everyone tells me what a genius I am for thinking of X build. All I really want to do is post builds that I've found to be fun and reasonably effective; if they get voted good, great. If not, there's always the user page. - Vermain 08:46, 29 August 2007 (CEST)
 * Ah, I've personally given up on posting builds; I refuse to play cookie-cutter builds, so my submissions are normally "bad" in some way or another (no matter how well I can make them work). I stick to contests, and yes, userspace. Hmm, I'll probably start working on more userspace builds, now that I think of it. :D
 * I'm just waiting for my current vetted build to either even out, or get trashed. Then I can stop worrying about it... the way it is now, it's only making me get ticked off at people. (you would get ticked off too, if everyone gave 1-1-1 votes on a build you use to clear areas solo with.) --[[image:GEO-logo.png]]<font color="#237d00"> Ĵĩôřũĵĩ Đēŗāķō.> <font color="#237d00">.cнаt^  09:09, 29 August 2007 (CEST)
