The Sims Wiki:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive 2

Updating portals
I floated this out there on the new theme discussion thread, but there have been no bites yet. So, I'm hoping that I'll get some response here.

We have several portal pages that need to be updated to the new theme. Specifically, the "module boxes", lines, header bars, and icons for the headers should be swapped out to the new style, as shown on the Main Page. We have four main portals, all of which need updating:


 * The Sims Wiki:Fanon Portal
 * The Sims Wiki:Community Portal
 * The Sims Wiki:Development Portal
 * The Sims Wiki:Admin Portal

Any help is greatly appreciated! -  LostInRiverview talk • blog  •  contribs 20:34, April 15, 2015 (UTC)


 * I made this. How does it look? All I did was changing the style to match the current wiki design... Does it need any changes? The portal mixes TS2 and TS3 icons on the headers. I like the TS3 icons, but not the TS2 ones.


 * Have you considered making a template for the headers like MP header blue and MP header green? I think this part had better be discussed in the community discussion.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  11:11, April 16, 2015 (UTC)


 * This is old news, but the portals have been updated for quite a while now. Closing this discussion.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  16:56, May 24, 2015 (UTC)

Harassment In Chat
EPICSIMSPLAYER called me sock puppet in a private messegge and threaten to hack my account and she asked me for my password. She said she was gonna kill me. She said if I told on her she would lie to the admins and blame it on me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Friendly27 (talk • contribs) 23:02, May 24, 2015‎ (UTC) - Please sign your comments with ~

I did not. He's making it up EPICSIMSPLAYER (talk) 23:29, May 24, 2015 (UTC)


 * This is a he said, she said situation. Unless there is some concrete proof of wrongdoing, there won't be any action taken. If you two can't get along together, I'd advise you to stay away from each other on chat or elsewhere. -  LostInRiverview talk • blog  •  contribs 01:08, May 25, 2015 (UTC)

Returning
Hi It's me KazeNoYouko I am back I forgot my password and don't have the Emial to change it. Can I have my bureaucrat rights back? KazeNoYesKo (talk) 16:27, June 14, 2015 (UTC)


 * ❌ We can't prove that you are, in fact, KazeNoYouko. You will have to go through the TSW:RFB process again if you want to be a bureaucrat. --I am  k6ka  Talk to me!   See what I have done  17:37, June 14, 2015 (UTC)
 * Agreed with K6ka. While we do need to assume good faith, the simple fact is we can't prove you are who you say you are. To give you bureaucrat rights without this proof could potentially give access to bureaucrat (and by extension, administrative) tools to someone who is an impostor. Unless you can come up with some manner of proving you are who you say you are, this request can't be considered. -  LostInRiverview talk • blog  •  contribs 18:45, June 14, 2015 (UTC)

How can I prove myself? KazeNoYesKo (talk) 20:53, June 18, 2015 (UTC)
 * A fire-sure way to prove you are who you say you are is to remember your password to get into your old account. Other than that, I can't think of any other way to prove who you are. -- Icemandeaf (talk) 21:00, June 18, 2015 (UTC


 * Unfortunately, especially because it has been so long (things have changed around here), the only way I can think of you gaining bureaucrat is to go through the entire process once again, from rollback to administrator to bureaucrat. --I am  k6ka  Talk to me!   See what I have done  21:01, June 18, 2015 (UTC)


 * Also since you left, the RfAs on this wiki have become much more formal. From what I've gathered when looking at the old revisions, it was all very simple for a user to be granted admin rights back then. But now it's more complicated than merely reverting vandalism. And I've heard that with the more formal RfA processes we have now "A user who could have passed an RfA or RfB five years ago, might not be able to do so today". While I don't disbelieve that you are in-fact KazeNoYouko, I too doubt you'll be able to prove yourself without accessing your old account. --  C.Syde  ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 06:18, June 19, 2015 (UTC)
