I trust

my opinions on such decisions are clear. Collect (talk) 11:42, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

Er, what? Tarc (talk) 12:28, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

Relating to ArbCom topic bans from a single user talk page as being quite weird in esse. Cheers. Collect (talk) 12:45, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

A bit like getting into a fender bender, then being barred from driving down that particular street. What can ya do, it's the law of the wiki-land, for now. Tarc (talk) 14:27, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

Semiprotection?

Err, wanna semiprotect this for a bit? Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 13:11, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

Yea, that'd probably be a good idea for a bit, thanks. Between the pro-Gamergate aggressors and the rapper bio I brought to AfD last night, I think the Tarc Fan Club mailbox is overflowing. Tarc (talk) 13:43, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

Alright - gave it 3 months. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 19:12, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

Rockin', thanks. Tarc (talk) 20:01, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

Yea, unfortunately I've got a fan club that is no doubt watching for any toes out of line wrt this affair. Participating in an admin noticeboard thread where I'm not primarily involved may be a grey area. Tarc (talk) 13:25, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

Comments about others

Please stop commenting about others on the article talk page as you did here, it violates the expected standards of behavior and exposes you to possible sanctions pwer Misplaced Pages:General sanctions/Gamergate. If you want to talk about others, take it to a noticeboard and follow WP:CONDUCTDISPUTE. Dreadstar ☥ 02:04, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

Arbitration case request(Gamergate) declined

An arbitration case request(Gamergate), involving you, has been archived, because the request was declined.

The comments made by arbitrators may be helpful in proceeding further. For the Arbitration Committee,--S Philbrick(Talk) 13:16, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

Not to bug you...

But could you point me to where that consensus was reached? I can't find it on the talk page. Thanks in advance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Skeletos (talk • contribs) 04:17, 7 November 2014 (UTC)

Quinn's jilted ex-boyfriend made demonstrably false accusations of impropriety, so that is who we characterize his claims. Tarc (talk) 04:37, 7 November 2014 (UTC)

I know that some (read: most if not all) of his claims were mere speculation, but how does that warrant labeling all allegations against Zoe as false? The allegations are coming from her detractors, not him. Skeletos (talk) 04:42, 7 November 2014 (UTC)

He made false allegations of impropriety in a blog rant, others took that ball and ran with it. Tarc (talk) 13:33, 7 November 2014 (UTC)

You were reverting the wrong thing here.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 05:30, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

Torga took care of it but he's probably going to restore what he wanted to revert soon enough.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 05:31, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

Yea, it's getting confusing at the moment, our creaky mediawiki software isn't meant to handle high-speed vandalism like his. We'll clear it up one way or another. Tarc (talk) 05:34, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

User_talk:Retartist/8chanstuff

I know I'm just a WP:SPA, but I noticed the User_talk:Retartist/8chanstuff page may have some BLP issues (specifically the claim that has the word 'illegally' in it.) Not sure if this is something I should take to WP:BLPN or if I'm just tilting at windmills here. — Strongjam (talk) 17:54, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

Decided to go ahead with WP:BLPN report, no point in wasting time. — Strongjam (talk) 18:20, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

WP:ARCA request (banning policy)

I have initiated a request regarding your administrative noticeboard ban at Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Clarification and Amendment#Clarification request: Banning Policy. KonveyorBelt 19:30, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

Dear talk page stalkers: short break

What is truly ironic about all the Gamergate stuff is that a few years ago, I probably would have been a natural ally of theirs. I, however, evolved, into a stance that harassing women on the internet is very much not OK, but I still love gaming itself. As such, I will be delving into new adventures for a few days, and time here will be spotty. Tarc (talk) 13:17, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

• There are some misguided 'gamerz' that fall into the #GG category, but the vast majority of people doing the harassing of women and using Gamergate as a forum are people from the 'Men's Rights' advocacy groups. Add in some straggling Freepers that have glommed on, throw in 8chan/4chan/b/ trolls, and that's the 'movement' in a nutshell. Real gamers don't give a shit about the crap being pushed by those people. They know that sales drive the video game industry, and that developers are going to cater to what sells, not some PC version of a game. Not that I disagree with some of the points made by the women gamers, they are correct in many of their complaints. But for Christ's sake, look at the adult film industry, and other portrayals of women in graphic imagery. Puhhh, as if game developers and the industry are all of a sudden going to stop giving people what they want. They would just lose $$money$$ to indie outlets. In other words, the whole thing is stupid beyond belief and just a reason for some sexually frustrated males to attack women for daring to not want to fuck them. Dave Dial (talk) 17:43, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

Yea, I logged into Twitter a moment ago and saw "99+" in the notifications; the neckbeards are having a field day. It's a shame for them that I'm not actually concerned with thier point of view. The only reason I became involved in the GG article in the first place was the BLP concerns regarding Quinn. Tarc (talk) 23:03, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

I think things may have been flubbed regarding how this guy was handled. Let's chalk it up as a learning experience and move on. Tarc (talk) 14:50, 15 November 2014 (UTC)

People have told him to post things on the ArbCom page and ANI now because I called his message a threat initially. Even though I have just remembered that you are forbidden from even doing anything at ANI now.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 20:07, 15 November 2014 (UTC)

@Ryulong: ANI thing was my fault. Thought I was being friendly to him, realize it was a mistake now and I should have just pointed him to WP:EA for advice from more experienced editors. I apologize. I suggested to him that the best way forward was for you to retract the 'threatening' comment and that you two just go your separate ways. Other then that I'm not going to inject myself into this any more. Clearly I'm over my head. Again, I really do apologize, I realize both you and Tarc have been made targets and I have a lot of appreciation for you both. — Strongjam (talk) 21:09, 15 November 2014 (UTC)

Gamergate Arbcom

Please note the instruction for your statement in the Gamergate request for a case:

Without exception, statements (including responses to other statements) must be shorter than 500 words.

Your statement is at 717 words, so is over the limit. I see several statements are over, and I am contacting anyone who is over 500. Please recall that this statement is not intended to be a full exposition of all evidence, which occurs at the next step, but simply a statement requesting a case. Please trim back your statement.
