3:23 JosephHawk Sure 3:23 AMK152 I will if he continues to argue 3:24 Muchacha Back 3:24 JosephHawk Alright, sounds good What about this whole Fred situation? 3:25 Muchacha There was a mini edit war last night on the Fred and Harold pages. 3:25 AMK152 "Fredrick" is unsourced/false information 3:25 JosephHawk ^ I know… but 120d insists on adding it 3:25 Muchacha Is anyone else coming? I hope no one thinks it's still 4. 3:26 AMK152 http://spongebob.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:109830#36 "Second, you are the second person I have seen in the past two days that have used a colon, instead of a comma. You should use a comma. A colon is for two things: listing things and lines in a script or transcript. (see what I did with the colon?)" 3:26 JosephHawk Geez… a little much Its just a minor mistake 3:27 Muchacha Yeah. So is anyone else still coming? 3:27 JosephHawk I hope JCM comes We separate from the Fanon Wiki today 3:28 AMK152 he will improve over a few days, and I would be neutral about his return to the administration... then he will explode and it's back to oppose yeah 3:28 Muchacha What if they think it's still at 4 PM? 3:28 AMK152 I told JCM that EVERY SBFW has to accept us, or else we are out we could wait 10 minutes i notified JCM and 456 3:28 JosephHawk Sure 3:29 Muchacha Well, we can check on them in a few months and reintroduce ourselves, apologize, and see if they changed. I also think we should take SBFW's stories so we wont have to start over. 3:29 AMK152 why would we apologize? 3:30 JosephHawk We haven't done anything but helped 3:30 Muchacha We can apologize for upsetting them. 3:30 AMK152 they were upset for nothing 3:30 Muchacha We can follow their rules. 3:30 AMK152 they break their own rules 3:30 JosephHawk Muchacha, we were only trying to help 3:31 AMK152 and their discussion systems/policies are confusing 3:31 JosephHawk Apologizing doesn't make sense... 3:31 Muchacha Well, lets ask Sannse to close their wiki and redirect it to ours. 3:31 AMK152 and SpongeBob is a children's show... and they swear like sailors over there... it's not very good 3:31 JosephHawk She will not do that Muchacha 3:31 AMK152 first and foremost, it is... 3:31 Muchacha I hate when they say SpongeBob is a children's show. 3:31 AMK152 primarily, it is 3:31 Muchacha It's an everyone show. 3:31 AMK152 yeah but younger audiences are the target and primary viewers if they want to make their own fan fiction, the SBFW is full of negativity and cursing 3:32 JosephHawk I think FSB will be very successful 3:32 AMK152 there has even been talk of rather inappropriate stuff yeah 3:32 Muchacha But the youngins under 13 are underage. 3:32 AMK152 so 3:33 Muchacha So does it matter? 3:33 AMK152 that doesn't stop them it's not like we do an age check for everyone who comes here under 13, they just need to keep their informate private *information 3:33 Muchacha Well, let's not. 3:33 AMK152 yeah 3:34 Muchacha Can we ask JCM if we can use SBFW's stories on our site so it can grow faster? 3:34 AMK152 so anyone is welcome, if they get caught by Wikia staff, it's their fault... but the point is that all are welcome and it should be a friendly place 3:34 JosephHawk No, they will jut get upset 3:34 AMK152 we cannot do that if FSB kills SBFW, then that is a different story... 3:35 Muchacha Well, I had some ideas for some of their work and I applied to be a writer there. They're not as upset as me as they are at you. 3:35 AMK152 if someone from SBFW wants to migrate their stories, they can Muchacha: at FSB you have complete freedom... start your own series/spin-off with your ideas 3:36 JosephHawk Should we get started now? We can put off the Fanon discussion until later to see if JCM comes 3:36 AMK152 we will see how it goes and if something is an issue, we will add policies 3:36 Muchacha Well, let's make our wiki bigger and better, the people might flock over due to the better environment. Friendlier people. 3:36 AMK152 yeah, let's start if someone else joins us, we can catch them up 1. Fanon wiki discussion / status of Fanon wiki ---- we will hold off on this one 2. Current proposals 3:37 Muchacha Where is everyone? 3:37 JosephHawk Away 3:37 AMK152 idk Changing info box template colors - this one looks like it's not going to pass... thoughts? perhaps some color scheme in the middle? 3:37 Muchacha I think we should wait for at least one more. What if they didnt see the email? 3:38 JosephHawk Muchacha, we need to start though 3:38 Muchacha Yeah, something in the middle. 3:38 AMK152 we can fill them in if they come in later 3:38 Muchacha That is exactly what I was thinking. 3:38 JosephHawk I like the current colors… 3:38 AMK152 perhaps it's better to wait for more people to discuss the colors and to see if the discussion takes a turn bit it doesn't look like it will pass 3:38 JosephHawk Sure, maybe extend it? 3:39 AMK152 I don't know? 3:39 Muchacha If it doesn't we can try a scheme inbetween the old and the new. 3:39 AMK152 it has enough to be an unsuccessful proposal 3:40 Muchacha Like something "spongy", but not an eyesore to the community. Slightly darker. 3:40 AMK152 i wasn't thinking darker 3:40 Muchacha Well, people are complaining about the brightness. 3:40 AMK152 yeah so I was thinking about something in between 3:40 Muchacha Yes. 3:41 AMK152 ok then, Image naming scheme should wait for AW10 on this one... I am more confused with it now 3:41 JosephHawk It looks good, but I think we should talk a little about it with Antonio 3:41 Muchacha I'm concerned on our wiki's situation. We've been having some fights lately, and I don't want us to turn into SBFW. 3:41 AMK152 yeah Hardink has been blocked until June 28th if he continues to harass, I will removed his wall rights 3:42 Muchacha Well, when I expanded the Squid on Strike Gallery, I did Sos1 and so on. I still have 60 images left to upload. 3:42 AMK152 If he returns and harasses again, he will be blocked until the end of the summer yeah the image name scheme can be discussed later next item is a big one: 3. Character info box / further changes (alias field, etc.) I still don't like the current one or the result of the proposal look at this: http://spongebob.wikia.com/wiki/User:AMK152/Character_infobox2/example 3:43 JosephHawk Yes, you said you might end it? 3:43 AMK152 it's my modifed design 3:43 Muchacha I still think the designs look good. 3:43 AMK152 I will probably cancel it yeah designs will stay perhaps they need some clean up but they are not biggest issue all that empty space is 3:44 Muchacha Empty space. 3:44 AMK152 in the one I just linked, some of the fields I have take up two columns instead of one 3:44 Muchacha Well, we need to make sections for the infobox. 3:45 AMK152 empty space: http://spongebob.wikia.com/wiki/File:Char-infobox-aliases.png on the left side 3:45 JosephHawk Yea That is useless 3:45 AMK152 it also makes the infobox longer Much: look at this: http://spongebob.wikia.com/wiki/User:AMK152/Character_infobox2/example and look at the family members and primary relationships sections... how do they look? they take up less space and are in a neat, bulleted list 3:46 JosephHawk Just dandy 3:46 Muchacha They're fine. 3:46 AMK152 also, SpongeBob has MANY friends, and listing them all would not be good 3:47 Muchacha He's friends with anybody. 3:47 AMK152 SpongeBob considers everyone his friends... so there is no need to list minor friendships 3:47 Muchacha Just the real friendy friends? 3:47 AMK152 just the major ones like who he interacts with regularily 3:47 Muchacha Like Pat and Gary. 3:48 AMK152 Krabs, Plankton, Puff, Squid, Sandy 3:48 JosephHawk Mr. Krabs, Sandy etc... 3:48 Muchacha Mermaid Man. 3:48 AMK152 but not Fred, Tom, Nancy, John, Shubie... 3:48 JosephHawk And BarnacleBoy 3:48 AMK152 yeah 3:48 Muchacha What about the Krusty Krab customers. Nah. 3:49 AMK152 too many to list 3:49 Muchacha We're already almost a quarter through the meeting. 3:49 AMK152 lol 3:49 Muchacha I'm going to ESB to see whats going on. 3:49 AMK152 but what about aliases? Muchacha has left the chat. 3:50 JosephHawk Hmm Nah 3:50 AMK152 I opened up this section: http://spongebob.wikia.com/wiki/User:AMK152/Character_infobox2/example still doesn't look right Hall Moniter is actually a title... and random insults are not aliases... 3:50 JosephHawk I don't think we need to give aliases in the infobox We can add that to the page 3:50 AMK152 yeah interests and awards I also got rid of 3:51 JosephHawk Good, because SpongeBob has wayyyy to many awards :P 3:51 AMK152 and interests... Muchacha has joined the chat. 3:51 AMK152 awards does not make sense, interests might be okay 3:51 JosephHawk Why did you invite 120d, Muchacha? 3:52 AMK152 of course this would be listing them 3:52 Muchacha Well, he's the only other person active. It's weird. 3:52 JosephHawk Yes, but he also get into huge arguments 3:52 AMK152 yeah well, I have an idea 3:52 Muchacha Well, he could give his opinion which is good. If he does argue throw him overboard. 3:52 AMK152 I can cancel the current proposal, and then make a new discussion listing each field, and ask everyone to say "keep" or "remove" 3:53 Muchacha Ok 3:53 JosephHawk Sure 3:53 AMK152 and get an idea of how best to build the template that way we can have better ideas we can also discuss criteria... for each field ok, next one... 3:54 Muchacha What about the infoboxes for episodes? What if an episode came out on DVD or online earlier than it did on TV? 3:54 AMK152 "airdate" does not mean DVD release date 3:54 Muchacha Like Club SpongeBob. AW10 has joined the chat. 3:54 Muchacha Yay! 3:54 AMK152 it's based on the day it aired 3:54 JosephHawk Hey Antonio! 3:54 AMK152 hello! 3:54 AW10 O/ 3:54 Muchacha We're already started. 3:54 JosephHawk Can we go back to the image discussion now? 3:54 AMK152 we started early, but I will fill you in... 1. We are going to wait for JCM to discuss the fanon wiki situation 2. Infobox template colors - possible alternative is a scheme in between this proposal doesn't look like it is going to pass some of the ideas included extending the discussion or pick alternative colors or just leaving it as it is thoughts? 3:56 AW10 Let's keep the old scheme and cancell the proposal for now 3:56 Muchacha Or just make it yellower, but not bright. 3:57 AMK152 yellow is bright 3:57 Muchacha Well, mute it just a tiny bit. 3:57 AMK152 i guess we can just let the proposal go all the way and if it doesn't pass, it doesn't pass 3:57 Muchacha Sure. Brb Wait for me 3:57 JosephHawk Yea… I mean, if the community doesn't want it, lets not force it 3:57 AMK152 yeah 2. Image name scheme 3:58 JosephHawk Oh good 3:58 AMK152 I don't know what I think on this one, hence I haven't given my thoughts on it Spongebob456 has joined the chat. 3:58 AMK152 hello 3:58 Muchacha Hey. 3:58 Spongebob456 o/ 3:59 Muchacha We started at 3:30. 3:59 AMK152 yeah but we didn't get very far 1. We are going to wait for JCM to discuss fanon 3:59 Spongebob456 With the image name scheme, I have added my thoughts. How do we classify images - by character or by episode? 3:59 JosephHawk Hey Bob 3:59 AW10 what about my comments 3:59 Spongebob456 Hey. 3:59 Muchacha Episode for episode. Character for character. 3:59 AMK152 2a. Changing the color scheme on template will probably not pass, but we will just let it be. 3:59 Muchacha Like I was expanding the Squid on Strike gallery. 3:59 Spongebob456 What if we have an image of Spongebob from Help Wanted? Is that named: SpongeBob1 or HelpedWanted1? 4:00 AMK152 and then we are on 2b. Image naming scheme I would say keep it based on episode 4:00 Spongebob456 Okay. 4:00 Muchacha Yeah, like Sos1 for Squid on Strike. 4:00 AMK152 since we do separate the galleries by episode 4:01 AW10 AMK152, I suggest you review my scheme first 4:01 Muchacha Lets see it. 4:01 AMK152 http://spongebob.wikia.com/wiki/ESB:Discussions/Image_naming_scheme 4:03 Muchacha I thought you made an inbetween color scheme. Guess not. 4:03 AMK152 i would the stock footage should be included by episode 4:03 Spongebob456 Yep. This is going to take ages to replace all the image names lol 4:03 Muchacha Stock footage? Could the still be classified as hooky1 or the like? Because Hooky has fishing footage. 4:04 AMK152 i say it should be based on episode 4:04 Muchacha I dont think the old image names have to be replaced Just use it as a guideline for the new ones. 4:04 AW10 <episodename> stock image (<indexnumber>) 4:04 AMK152 they can be gradually renamed 4:04 Spongebob456 I have a question: Say you have 50 images numbered 1-50. What would happen if you wanted to add another image to that? Surely all the images would have to have their numbers changed - a big task. 4:05 Muchacha Just take the pics in order. Right? 4:05 AMK152 yeah 4:05 Spongebob456 Okay. 4:05 AW10 yes, but bot can be used for that 4:05 Spongebob456 What do we mean by "stock" image? Okay. 4:05 Muchacha Like the fishing footage in Hooky. 4:05 AW10 so, <episodename> stock image (<indexnumber>) ? 4:05 Muchacha Is it neccesary? 4:06 AMK152 do stock images need to be separate? 4:06 Spongebob456 I see. 4:06 Muchacha Neccessary* 4:06 Spongebob456 Yes... I'd like to mention spelling at some point... 4:07 AW10 the yshould be separate 4:07 Muchacha Spelling? Like Hardink's lack of? He got his block extended. 4:07 AMK152 and 8989j89ijiojijhjkhjh989hjhjkjkjk.jpg 4:07 Spongebob456 No, related to something else. Will bring it up later. 4:07 AMK152 ok 4:08 Muchacha Can we use initals for episode names? Like Iwatg21.jpg 4:08 Spongebob456 Hmm I suggest full episode name. Makes the file more meaningful when being searched for. 4:08 AMK152 yeah 4:09 Muchacha But it wouldn't be wrong to use initials. Not blockable. Right? 4:09 JosephHawk I think we should user full episode names... Use* 4:09 Spongebob456 Muchacha: I mean, if it became a guideline, then you would be breaking it yes. 4:09 Muchacha I'm just saying it would take longer. 4:10 Spongebob456 It does keep the wiki clean though, so to speak But yeah..,. we need to account for the ease of which images can be uploaded. 4:11 Muchacha I would have to upload 30 stills a day instead of 50 if we used full episode names. 4:11 Spongebob456 Hmm yeah. 4:11 AMK152 copy and paste OR 4:11 Spongebob456 I guess it's quality over quantity ;) 4:11 AMK152 use PROD# Help Wanted = 1a and etc. 4:12 Spongebob456 I suggest full names imo 4:12 Muchacha Like 40a91 for Squid on Strike. 4:12 AMK152 40a-91 4:13 Spongebob456 That sounds quite complicated though. At least with fullnames, new users can understand it. 4:13 Muchacha How about we find a compromise between all our ideas? 4:13 AW10 yes too much complicated 4:13 AMK152 Help Wanted 01 or Help-Wanted-01 or HelpWanted01 or Help_Wanted_01 ? 4:13 Muchacha That actually makes the names longer. 4:13 AMK152 maybe just HelpWanted01 4:14 AW10 without 01 we can't know will it 9, 99 or 999 4:14 Muchacha How about episode names for the shorter episode names, and initials and production codes for the long names such as Super Aquatic Evil Villain Team Up is Go! 4:15 AMK152 we should be consistent JCM has joined the chat. 4:15 Muchacha Yeah, but imagine typing that over and over. 4:15 JosephHawk Hey JCM 4:15 Muchacha Hey weve been waiting for you. JCM has left the chat. 4:15 AMK152 hello goodbye 4:15 Spongebob456 Hmm, one thing MLP wiki does is name the image something related to the scene, but then adds the series number and episode number. 4:15 Muchacha And goodbye. 4:16 Spongebob456 EG: Canterlot outer view S2E9.png JCM has joined the chat. 4:16 Muchacha Too long. 4:16 JCM Wait, did you already talk about the fanon wiki? 4:16 Muchacha Yez. We have been waiting on your opinion. 4:16 JCM What did you decide about it? 4:16 Muchacha Yes. 4:16 Spongebob456 Just sounds like such a big job when adding one more image to then rename all the others. 4:16 AMK152 no, we were waiting for you we are talkling about image names 4:17 Muchacha *talkling :D 4:17 AMK152 :P 4:17 Muchacha Sounds like duckling. 4:17 JosephHawk We havent said anything about the fanon wiki. We were waiting for you 4:17 JCM oh okay 4:17 AMK152 so what are we going with for the image names? 4:18 Spongebob456 For example: Image1 Image2 Image3 You then need to add an image between 2 and 3, so you'd have to rename 3 to 4. 4:18 Muchacha Anyone think the chickens in MLP are drawn cute?' Initials. 4:18 JCM doing the season and episode numbers sounds good 4:18 Muchacha Yes I guess. Or just the episode number. 4:18 Spongebob456 Perhaps a more general approach using episode numbers and series numbers may be better. 4:18 Muchacha What do you mean? 4:19 AMK152 OR http://www.spongebobia.com/spongebob-captures/ 4:19 Spongebob456 So, using S2E9 = Series 2 Episode 9 4:19 AMK152 each of these has hundreds of screenshots 4:19 Muchacha Yes. 4:19 AMK152 why not number them based on this? 4:19 Muchacha But the capture idea is long. E001 would work. But not the full name after that. 4:20 Spongebob456 Hmm. 4:20 AMK152 but then it would mean foing 001, 008, 010,... etc. skipping images that are similar *going 018, 023, 027 they are still numbered and in order 4:21 AW10 spongebob captures formatt: 001a - Help Wanted <number> 4:21 AMK152 and if someone wants to add something in between, like 020, they can 4:21 Muchacha I just go for no more than 150 screenshots a gallery. 4:21 AMK152 here is help wanted http://www.spongebobia.com/spongebob-captures/content/episodes/001a - Help Wanted.html 4:21 Spongebob456 Do you see what I mean about the possibility of adding images thus complicating things? 4:21 Muchacha Eliminate the - Help Wanted, and I'm good. 4:22 AMK152 we don't need five alarm clocks... just one 456: I addressed this issue 4:22 Muchacha Nice pun, AMK. We just need one alarm clock in real life too. 4:23 AMK152 lol 4:23 AW10 if we want to add image between 1 and 2, we can index it 1a, 1b, 1c and then at the ned of each month use bot to take care of them 4:23 Muchacha Yeah. 4:23 AMK152 if you scroll down on the captures, you will see 5 screenshots of the alarm clock the hand changing in each one AW10: even better! 4:23 Muchacha And half of them are the hand staying still. 4:24 AMK152 AW10: you can get a bot to do that? I don't know how 120d has joined the chat. 4:24 Muchacha Hey! 4:24 120d Hi 4:25 AMK152 ok... so is the image naming proposal going to be modified? 4:25 JosephHawk Yes 4:25 Muchacha I dont know. 4:25 AMK152 what did we decide on? 4:25 Muchacha Modify it to make things convienient for everyone. Initials. 4:25 120d I am a bit confused on the image proposal. 4:25 Muchacha And production codes. 4:25 AMK152 initials or #s? production codes? 4:25 Muchacha Initials. 4:26 JosephHawk Intials 4:26 AW10 you create a table with fin and replace columns and make a bot do that 4:26 Spongebob456 I'm happy with whatever ;) 4:26 Muchacha Good. 4:26 AMK152 what about Help Wanted = 001 and Reef Blower - 002, etc. or just use 1a and 1b? 4:26 Spongebob456 I suggest we create a proposal with the new ideas to see if the community understand. 4:26 Muchacha What about Hw1 and Rb2 4:27 AMK152 Much: what if there are episodes, present and future, with the same initials? 4:27 Muchacha Hmm. 4:27 JosephHawk I prefer 001, 002. etc... 4:27 Muchacha Well then you can use the full episode names. 4:27 120d Why don't the gallery thing (example: Help Wanted Gallery 0004)? *don't we do the gallery 4:28 Muchacha Huh? Realistic fish head: And now, absolute silence. 4:29 JCM okay 4:29 AMK152 yeah... so I have no idea what we are going to do 4:29 Muchacha How about production codes. 4:29 AMK152 I think prod codes are the best bet 4:29 Muchacha Ok! 4:29 AMK152 001a for Help Wanted 4:30 Muchacha Like 4:30 AMK152 001a-001, 001a-002, etc. 4:30 AW10 should we create option propsal as fanon wiki for it 4:30 Muchacha 72a-6. 4:30 AW10 just copy past chat and list all ideas 4:30 JCM yeah, i don't think the hundreds notation is necessary 4:30 AMK152 072a-006 will help them order themselves, especially in categories 4:31 JCM Alright, then 4:31 AW10 have anyone noticed my suggestion? 4:31 Muchacha 1. What is episode 072a? 4:31 AMK152 which one? the bot? 4:31 Muchacha Yes. 4:32 AMK152 72a is All That Glitters 4:32 120d I am still a bit confused on the proposal. Can someone please explain it to me. 4:32 Muchacha Yeah! 4:32 AMK152 me too 4:32 Muchacha AMK (1) 4:32 AW10 should we create option propsal as fanon wiki for it just copy past chat and list all ideas 4:32 AMK152 Are we going with 001a-001 ? 4:32 Muchacha Yes. 4:32 AW10 as for bot: "you create a table with fin and replace columns and make a bot do that" 4:32 Muchacha Do we need the 0s though? 4:32 AMK152 ok 4:32 120d I guess no one is listen to me. 4:32 AMK152 the 0s help them stay in order 4:33 Muchacha I guess. 4:33 AMK152 especially in categories so 001a-001? 4:33 JosephHawk Sure 4:33 Muchacha Ok. :) 4:33 AMK152 is Help Wanted image 1 we can have a separate proposal for that 4:33 Muchacha No. Production code is easier. 4:34 AMK152 that is prod code 4:34 Muchacha A proposal will be good. 4:34 AMK152 001a-001 another thing... standardized image types? png? jpg? 4:34 JosephHawk Why not both? 4:34 Spongebob456 Stick with both for now. 4:34 AMK152 sure 4:34 Muchacha Jpg and png are the normal ones. 4:34 AMK152 it was just a thought 4:34 Spongebob456 The yugioh wiki allowed both then uploaded png versions later. Perhaps state that png is preferred. 4:34 Muchacha It doesn't matter. 4:35 JosephHawk I have been to wikis that only allow certain types, and it's a pain :P 4:35 AMK152 we can save that discussion for another day and focus on the names for now 4:35 Spongebob456 New avi <3 4:35 Muchacha I take snapshots of the episodes with my iPad. They always turn out .jpg. 4:35 Spongebob456 You have the episodes on your iPad? 4:35 AMK152 I can draft up a proposal for the episode naming scheme 4:36 Muchacha Season 1-3 and 7. 4:36 AMK152 if you have amazon prime and you have the app you can watch them 4:36 Spongebob456 Wow. I kinda have a few downloaded of YouTube :/ 4:36 JosephHawk New avatar! Wow! Not used to it Bob ;) 4:36 AMK152 so what about the other image names? 4:36 Spongebob456 Season 9 episodes. 4:37 AMK152 should we just hold off until this one is settled? 4:37 Muchacha The character images can be SpongeBob1 or SB1. 4:37 Spongebob456 Yeah, 4:37 120d I have a problem with this proposal. I am fine with whatever thing you guys come up with for episodes. But what about others? 4:37 Muchacha What would you prefer? 4:37 120d I think there should be no rule about anything else. 4:37 AMK152 should we cancel the current proposal? 4:37 Muchacha How long have we been on this item? Ok. 4:38 AMK152 like a half hour:P 4:38 Spongebob456 Yeah, let's move on. .-. 4:38 JosephHawk Fanon wiki? 4:38 120d I feel like like no one is paying attention to me. 4:38 AMK152 so should we cancel the current image scheme proposal? 4:38 JosephHawk Sure 4:38 Muchacha Yeah. 4:38 JosephHawk Bake a new one from scratch ;) 4:39 Muchacha >I feel like like no one is paying attention to me.

I want no part of it. 5:00 Muchacha Three now. 5:00 JCM i feel like most of the people on esb don't fully understand the situation at the fanon wiki 5:01 AMK152 http://spongebob.wikia.com/wiki/ESB:Discussions/SpongeBob_Fanon_Wiki_situation 5:01 120d Also, I am still worried about the leakage of fanon. 5:01 JCM We've always been affiliated 5:01 120d on this wiki 5:01 AMK152 120d: that's why a merge was stopped 5:01 JCM And there's been no leakage of fanon before 5:01 120d Yes there has. 5:01 Muchacha By vandals. 5:01 AMK152 we have been affiliated but never interacted and not everyone is getting along 5:01 JCM Vandals will create fanon pages whether there's a fanon wiki or not 5:01 AMK152 I cannot voice my opinion over there otherwise I am told I am overstepping my boundaries 5:02 Muchacha Well, wait and see what happens. 5:02 JosephHawk I think FSB, which would be run by ESB, is a great idea 5:02 AMK152 all in all, there is more support to start over 5:02 JosephHawk And we can't ignore everyone's will 5:02 AMK152 OVERALL THOUGHT: If SBFW recovers, we can always merge 5:02 Muchacha I like SBFW. Sorry. Ok. 5:03 JCM I mean, it's already starting to recover 5:03 JosephHawk 10 people already said to start new 5:03 JCM People are making fanon again, the disputes are starting to settle 5:03 Muchacha Well, lets just wait and see. 5:04 AMK152 and, ESB's ideas can be fully realized at FSB... and if SBFW fully accepts us, they can see what kind of ideas we have, in action 5:04 JCM What ideas are you talking about, anyway? 5:04 Muchacha Look at this guys. Support -The users from ESB are some of the kindest I have seen in a great while and I fully welcome them to our wiki. With their support, they can propel our wiki to new heights and possibly back to its glory days. Hope to see you guys as a part of our vast community soon! -MS12 Support - - The only users who are being hostile towards you are Da Nerd and Lazaro. I don't think creating an entirely new fanon wiki is necessary, especially since the one we have is starting to rebound. ~JCM 21:11, June 4, 2014 (UTC) Support - Only a few users are being hostile to you. But the rest are just doing their work in the Fanon Wiki. We appologize for anything that has offended you.

Tominator777 in the 2nd world wiki. 5:41 AMK152 we can have an affiliates page and they can post their schedule or one announcement not posting on a bunch of people's walls 5:42 Muchacha Because that is spam. 5:42 AMK152 yeah I can make a proposal for affiliates 5:42 JosephHawk What about in chat? 5:42 AMK152 and I am talking non-network affiliates 5:43 Muchacha Thats fine. 5:43 JosephHawk like people asking users to join other chats? 5:43 AMK152 I am not sure? 5:43 Muchacha We should have a one link rule. 5:43 JosephHawk ^ 5:43 AMK152 or if a chat moderate says it's out of hand to stop 5:43 JosephHawk If a users posts more than once in chat 5:43 Muchacha Kick 5:43 AMK152 and if they don't, they get kicked ok, I can draft a proposal ok, next... 15. Other SB wikis 5:44 Muchacha That proposal got abandones. 5:44 AMK152 It's been over a week since I offered a bunch of merges 5:44 Muchacha Abandoned I have an item I would like to bring up. 5:45 AMK152 I drafted a proposal http://pastebin.com/PWac54sF I basically went through the adoption guidelines and I will list several of them when I make the proposal 5:46 JosephHawk AMK, you do know that you don't have to adopt to redirect their URLS just ask Staff 5:46 AMK152 some of these wikis have images and videos and content it needs to be merged in case they have stuff we don't 5:46 Muchacha Yes. I have an item I want to discuss. 5:46 AMK152 I actually might send staff a message to adopt them immediately 5:47 120d Muchacha, you will get your turn. 5:47 AMK152 I can try that first, if that doesn't work, I will put up the proposal go ahread Much *ahead 5:47 Muchacha 14a: Summer and Fathers Day Background Contests 5:47 JosephHawk lol… 5:47 Muchacha These things havent been touched in weeks. 5:48 120d Muchacha, we will get to you when AMK is done. 5:48 AMK152 those days are coming up I told Muchacha to go ahead 5:48 120d Or we'll do it now. 5:48 Muchacha I am asking, should we just close them now after tallying the votes? 5:48 120d No. 5:48 Muchacha But still wait until June 21st to put the images up? 5:48 AMK152 yes or whatever date is listed 5:49 120d They probably haven't been touched because people do not know about them because they are not linked on the homepage 5:49 Muchacha Hmm. 5:49 AW10 they are linked form community corner 5:50 AMK152 yes 5:50 AW10 and every time community messages button appear, there is a chance that people will also notcie contests 5:50 120d It is unfair to close it now because if someone was waiting unit the last day to vote, then they would not get a chance 5:50 AW10 altough they are at the end 5:50 120d They are not at the end. 5:51 AMK152 it has lacked activity because those who usually give their input have already given their input 5:51 120d They still have several days. 5:51 Muchacha But I think we should make them more visible. 5:51 AW10 I think as last bullet, 120d like* 5:51 Muchacha Or just until a tiebreaker is reached for the Summer Background Contests. 5:51 AMK152 we could have them listed under the twitter feed 5:51 Muchacha I have 8 supports, and someone else has 8 supports. 5:51 AMK152 the most recent 5:52 Muchacha Ok. 5:52 120d They should not be closed, why are we considering it? 5:52 AMK152 we are not closing them 5:52 120d good. 5:52 AMK152 let them go to the end 5:52 Muchacha Because they have been abandoned. Ok. Moving on? 5:52 AMK152 they have been abandoned because the bulk of those who discuss it have already done so yeah anything else before I summerize? 5:52 AW10 no 5:52 AMK152 ok... 5:52 Muchacha We have two items left. 5:53 120d I still want to talk about my Slow Admimship Process. 5:53 Muchacha 15 and 16. And 17. 5:53 AMK152 Much, I did 15 and 16 I need to organize better there is no 17 5:53 Muchacha Well, 120d. 5:53 AMK152 15 is other SB wikis go ahead, 120d 5:53 120d thank you. 5:53 Muchacha You are welcome. 5:54 120d I think that we should consider this as an alternative to the current system. 5:54 Muchacha For peoll 5:54 AMK152 elaborate 5:54 Muchacha People who are having trouble getting adminship. JosephHawk has left the chat. 5:55 AMK152 explain? 5:56 Muchacha For the people who are having trouble proving they can do it. JosephHawk has joined the chat. 5:56 AMK152 what is the slow admin process? 5:56 120d The current system is based on how many votes for yes that person get (within a limit, of course). However, the SAP (slow admin process) is much better because it gives people a chance to prove they are worth it. 5:56 JosephHawk I am back 5:56 Muchacha 120d, take it away. 5:56 AMK152 wb 5:57 Muchacha Oh. You're already taking it. 5:57 AMK152 go ahead... 5:57 120d what? I already said what I said. 5:57 AMK152 the floor is yours, 120d explain the slow admin process 5:58 120d It is above JosephHawk's recent enterence. 5:58 Muchacha W 5:58 120d "I am back" is what he wrote 5:58 Muchacha What? 5:58 AMK152 but you didn't explain it "However, the SAP (slow admin process) is much better because it gives people a chance to prove they are worth it." - this doesn't explain how it works 5:58 Muchacha Explain what the Slow Admin Process it. *is 5:59 120d SAP is an alternative for the process. *current process. 5:59 AMK152 yes... and? how does it work? 5:59 Muchacha Yeah, 120d. Don't be shy. 6:00 120d It gives the user more powers in a certain amount of time before recieving adminship. 6:00 AMK152 give us an example 6:00 JosephHawk I think that's already happening I was a chat mod. before I became admin 6:00 Muchacha Like how I got chat mod and rollback. 6:00 JosephHawk Yea 6:00 AMK152 yeah, I gave 120d rollback 6:00 JosephHawk Muchacha will become admin, and after he got chat mod. and rollback 6:00 120d I want to become admin. I am a regular user. 6:01 AMK152 you are a rollback, 120d... that's between user and admin 6:01 120d I don't want to have people vote on my adminship 6:01 Muchacha Yes. 6:01 AMK152 that's how it works... we discuss it how else would it work? 6:01 Muchacha But then patroller could be added before you get the full package deal. 6:02 120d SAP allows me to prove to people themselves worthy of adminship. 6:02 AMK152 administrators and bureaucrats are discussed first.... rollback and chat mods are appointed based on an admin's good judgement 6:02 AW10 we can make it as round 4 of ESB logo, to force poeplw to give deatiled input isntead of vote 6:02 120d Can't you give certain powers to certain admin? *not admins, users 6:03 AW10 and then breauercurat consider their input 6:03 AMK152 just rollback and chat mod 6:03 Muchacha And then the full package deal. 6:03 JosephHawk that's all, unless you request from Staff 6:03 AMK152 sysop.admin is the full package staff cannot change it... it's part of the software in the future, perhaps, but not now 6:03 120d You can't give people some of the powers that admins have before they become admins? 6:04 AMK152 no, it's all one package 6:04 JosephHawk No, but they can make a special user group with certain powers @AMK but its a hassle 6:04 AMK152 I can contact them 6:04 Muchacha Like you can give me patroller. And then protector. And then blocker. 6:04 AMK152 if that is possible, I will try to discuss it with chat 6:04 Muchacha And whatever else. 6:05 120d To be honest with you, I just want my powers back. Back when I was first given it, it was a lot easier than now. 6:05 Muchacha Yeah, then you got too powerful. :( 6:05 AMK152 I will see if staff can do that... perhaps we can have some flexibility with admin powers 6:05 120d I don't think that regular users were involved at all. 6:05 JosephHawk 120d, you have to go through the proper chancels... channels* request it like we did 6:06 120d I already did a few weeks ago, but it failed. 6:07 AMK152 there is also a 30 day limit before requesting again "4. If a user makes an administrator request but fails to be promoted, they must wait at least thirty (30) days before making another request, unless their request is endorsed by all active administrators." 6:07 JosephHawk Yes, but we can't make you admin if the community doesn't want you as one 6:07 Muchacha How'd you get that so fast? 6:07 120d JosephHawk, they thought and some still think that I am a jerk. 6:08 AMK152 I had the policy page up already 6:08 Muchacha I might reapply again around the Fourth of July. 6:08 JosephHawk Yes, and because of that, we can't just make you an admin because you want it. 6:09 Muchacha Are you talking to me? 6:09 120d It is not just that I want it. I think I have been through this punishment enough and have learned my lesson. 6:09 JosephHawk 120d, that is for the community to decide, not just us. 6:09 AMK152 120d, you still explode... 6:10 Muchacha Yep. "If it ain't broke, DON'T FIX IT!" 6:10 120d Well, don't we all from time to time 6:10 Muchacha No. Lol 6:10 AMK152 you do too much 6:10 120d You piss me off sometimes. 6:10 AMK152 if you can show the community that you are worthy, they will support you 6:11 Muchacha Everyone gets hurt sometimes. 6:11 JosephHawk just keep making requests 6:11 Muchacha Sometimes its best though to control that anger. 6:11 JosephHawk when the community trusts you again, you will become admin 6:11 AMK152 well, I am going to summerize the meeting 6:11 120d As I have stated before ever reaction has a equal or lesser action. *before, 6:11 Muchacha Are you saying the conmunity didn't trust me?
