swearing
why do people always swear in chat? i find it to be rude. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ILoveBeyonceForeverAndEver (talk • contribs) (UTC) - Please sign your comments with ~
 * The ruleset for Chat is loosely based off the ruleset for IRC. Where profanity isn't allowed at all on-wiki, IRC rules are more relaxed on this, and by extension so is Chat, meaning it's allowed on those two mediums in moderation. There's, in my opinion, no point having two different rulesets for both Chat and IRC meaning any changes we make to one should count for the other.


 * If you want to start a formal discussion about this then you're more than welcome to so but what I said above is basically my two pence worth on this. 15:19, June 9, 2013 (UTC)
 * To add to Lab's response, for a short-term solution it's always possible to ask the user if they could stop. -- Bleeh (talk) (blog) 15:22, June 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * i asked for it to stop as its rude and gahsicepick says in reply "i can f*****g swear if i f*****g want to". —Preceding unsigned comment added by ILoveBeyonceForeverAndEver (talk • contribs) (UTC) - Please sign your comments with ~


 * If you have a problem with a specific user, then message an admin on their talk page, PM the user in Chat (by clicking on their name and then choosing "Private Message") and talk about it with them privately, or go on the IRC channel and talk to an administrator there. If you need more help, feel free to message me on my talk page. -- Bleeh (talk) (blog) 19:02, June 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * cant you deal with it now as i have already said i have a problem with specific user. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ILoveBeyonceForeverAndEver (talk • contribs) 18:42, June 11, 2013 (UTC) - Please sign your comments with ~


 * GAHSIcepick did not break any rules, so there is nothing left to "deal with." I spoke with him about swearing and he said that if he is asked politely, he will stop. I think that's all we need to do here. Again, if you feel swearing should be completely eliminated, you need to propose something formally, as Lost Labyrinth suggested.
 * And on an unrelated note - you need to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ). In the future, any unsigned comments you make will be deleted. --  LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 19:03, June 11, 2013 (UTC)

IRC
why is there irc if there is chat and theyre the same thing ILoveBeyonceForeverAndEver (talk) 20:54, June 14, 2013 (UTC)
 * The IRC Channel predates the chat feature by several years. Initially we had only IRC and not chat (because it didn't exist), then sometime after Wikia introduced it, it was activated here, but we never closed down the IRC Channel. If you think either the Chat or IRC Channel should be closed, you can propose it in the Community Discussions Forum. --  LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 21:01, June 14, 2013 (UTC)

ignoring private message
i ask gahs icepick nicely if he would un ignore private message he said no i ask why he said nothing he is very rude ignoring me for no reason i have had enough can some body please fix this and dont remove my work again as i sign my posts this time ILoveBeyonceForeverAndEver (talk) 18:39, June 16, 2013 (UTC)

Perhaps the reason Icepick has ignored you is because you've been quite rude to him recently, perhaps apologizing would be a good thing to do, Yeah Des  kita  said this

i have not been rude to him hes rude to me by not stop swearing when i ask him to do so nicely and now ignoring me for no reason and not telling me reason so its unfair and must change ILoveBeyonceForeverAndEver (talk) 18:55, June 16, 2013 (UTC)

You called him an idiot the other day, so thats an example of you being mean. Des kita

no i didnt ILoveBeyonceForeverAndEver (talk) 18:58, June 16, 2013 (UTC)

I'd say you're just attacking Icepick, I'd suggest you stop talking about it and just ignore it, theres not much point making a deal of it. Des kita

hes attacking me i didnt do anything to him so leave me alone ILoveBeyonceForeverAndEver (talk) 19:04, June 16, 2013 (UTC)
 * This isn't the place to be discussing personal issues regarding interactions with other users (nor is it a report page but that's a different issue entirely).


 * ILoveBeyonceForeverAndEver, the ability to block private messages from other users is a something that a user controls by their own means. As a wiki, we can't just restrict the ability for a user to do something like that. Whether or not GAHSIcepick was justified in blocking off PMs from you completely is probably a personal matter and honestly isn't any business of the community as a whole. All I can suggest is to discuss this with him amicably to find the root of the cause and to try and fix things so that everybody can just play nice.


 * Personal squabbles like this are honestly a waste of everybody's time. If you can't get along, don't talk to each other. Simple. 19:09, June 16, 2013 (UTC)


 * are you on your period i tried talking to gahs icepick and he ignore me i want this to be fixed ILoveBeyonceForeverAndEver (talk) 19:19, June 16, 2013 (UTC)
 * I've already said I can't do anything and I also had the courtesy to guide you in what you could try to do to resolve this. My job here isn't to deal with personal matters all the time. As such I don't want to see any more commentary on this particular issue - either talk it over with him or leave it be.


 * Also I'd appreciate if you didn't make assumptions about my emotional status, especially if they're false due to gender reasons... 19:28, June 16, 2013 (UTC)

Writing Rude and Offensive sentences
What would happen if a person wrote nasty, rude offensive stuff on Chat, but they were the only one on Chat at the time, and thus no one saw what they'd written. Or is there a record of things written on Chat that can be accessed by chat moderators?  C.Syde  ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 07:37, May 17, 2014 (UTC)

Chat logs conversations for a short period of time; you can see this if you join Chat just after other users have said something, since it will display what was written before you arrived. Permanent data or logs of Chat are not currently kept. There was a proposal to adopt a bot in chat that would log and save all conversations that take place there, but that proposal hasn't taken off yet. Ultimately if someone entered into chat and said something inappropriate but no one was around to read it, it's unlikely that any action would be taken with that user. -  LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 11:22, May 17, 2014 (UTC)

Close It Down
This Is Speaker Paul Ryan.



I Think You Should Close This Down Because You Have Discord In Its Place And It Is More Popular.



Thank You.
