Re: Platinum Badge promo image on the main page of The Sims Wiki
LostInRiverview passed your message along to A morris and myself. Since I recognize that the question is not whether to add the image to our main page, but where, I suppose that placing it in the right column would cause the least disruption. Also, I suppose that, technically speaking, it is being featured, so there's a certain logic to placing it in the "featured content" column. Dharden (talk) 21:03, October 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Since the promo was to end on November 21 and it's now November 22, will you - or can we - remove this image? Dharden (talk) 16:49, November 22, 2010 (UTC)

The Late Night promo blog
Joe, I don't want to do this, but I am seriously considering putting a semi-protect on the Late Night promo blog. I'm considering this because it seems that the worst offenders wrt profanity and the like have been anon users. I don't want to do it, because it would be restricting a class of users due to the actions of a few. Still, if that's what it takes to stop the anon abusers, and it looks to me like it is, I will do it unless you as Wikia staff tell me not to. Dharden (talk) 21:31, October 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * please disable commenting on this blog because anons and new users keep using inappropriate words on it.--Monster2821 (Talk) 16:26, November 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * I have to agree. I've even tried semi-protecting it, but unfortunately protections don't apply to blog comments so apart from disabling comments or deleting the blog altogether, there's not much I can think of to stop this. I've been deleting really bad comments, but I think the only thing the administrators can do at this point is adopt a zero-tolerance policy on that specific blog, and start issuing blocks for any amount of spam. The blog is such a huge mess, and the admins here have so little power to do anything about it; please do something! -- LostInRiverview talk · blog 19:32, November 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Monster and LIR - please see my message on Dharden's talk page. I just deleted a few comments myself and will continue to help out for the rest of the promotion. In the meantime, I will certainly pass on your feedback to the organizers of the promotion. JoePlay ( talk ) 20:14, November 1, 2010 (UTC)
