| == Working on a new tool == | |||
| If you're interested, you can see an early version . It allows you to perform arbitrary searches through the recent changes database. So, it helps with looking for particular types of edits that were recently made. Might be useful for vandal fighters. I still have some work to do on it, but it's working. Let me know if you have any comments or suggestions. I'll announce it more widely once it's more complete. ]] 00:47, 29 December 2012 (UTC) | |||
| == Blocked == | |||
| Scottywong, I've blocked you for 24 hours. I appreciate you probably feel provoked, but this does not justify your comments. ] (]) 22:25, 29 December 2012 (UTC) | |||
| :Now ''that's'' a unique outcome. Don't get me wrong, I don't disagree that what I said is a blockable offense, I just wonder why when a different editor says '''''the exact same phrase''''' and someone complains, the complainant gets told to shut the fuck up and do something useful, and stop trying to be the civility police. Was I using the phrase in a different context? I'm not looking for an unblock, I'm just looking for a formal acknowledgement that there is a double standard. For more info, see ] and ]. I'd appreciate a response. ]] 22:36, 29 December 2012 (UTC) | |||
| ::I'd imagine because it's a different admin who handled that dispute. I'd agree there's a total double standard here; all I can guarantee is that ''I'' don't have such a double standard. I've blocked admins and editors for incivility (normally I block the admins for ''longer'', because they should know their way around policy if they've taken upon themselves the role of enforcing it), I've blocked users with GAs and very few content contributions at all. I probably can't jump into either of those threads and make anything stick, but mark my words: if you or anyone else see someone acting as Malleus seems to have done, drop me a line and I'm happy to block them. ] (]) 22:39, 29 December 2012 (UTC) | |||
| :::If you don't have a double standard, then I would ask you to take a look at the situation with Malleus, and take any action that you would deem necessary. ]] 22:48, 29 December 2012 (UTC) | |||
| ::::Looking at it now it seems that, frankly, it would just pour fuel on: the end result would be that some other bugger unblocks him and he wanders off feeling like somehow ''he'' was the one wronged. If it happens again, I'll be there like a greased whippet. But right now nothing would stick. ] (]) 22:52, 29 December 2012 (UTC) | |||

| ::Jclemens, you don't seem to have read anything I've posted above if you think I wouldn't dearly love to block people for the kind of stuff Malleus comes out with. ] (]) 22:58, 29 December 2012 (UTC) | |||

| *Blocks suck as a discussion tool. All that was said above could have been said without the block. Drmies has been unblocked (not by me), it doesn't make sense to keep this block enacted. Scottywong, you're aware I don't hold your judgement in high esteem, I suspect the reverse is also true, so I doubt this will have the intended effect, but: let's all dial it back a notch, OK? p.s. let me know if there's an autoblock. --] (]) 22:52, 29 December 2012 (UTC) | |||
| **You got to it before me; I'll second everything above, Scotty. ] <sup>]] ]]</sup> 22:54, 29 December 2012 (UTC) | |||
| ***I fundamentally dispute the idea that blocks suck as a discussion tool - or, rather, I dispute the idea that because we want long-term editors to discuss things, we shouldn't block. We're meant to maintain a consistency of standards: shifting the duality from content contributor/everyone else to long-term contributor/everyone else is rarely helpful. ] (]) 22:56, 29 December 2012 (UTC) | |||
| ** BTW, admin accounts have IPBE as part of the sysop bit, so autoblocks don't affect them. ] (]) 22:56, 29 December 2012 (UTC) | |||

Disgusted
No word can better describe how I feel about Misplaced Pages right now than "disgusted". I have deactivated all of my tools and bot tasks indefinitely, until such time that I decide how I'd like to proceed. ‑Scottywong| yak _ 23:15, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
