You win .. I'm out of cheetos. — Ched : ? 18:37, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

- Bulleted list item
Problematic non-retirement
Lowkeyvision has come out of retirement and gone back to rather silly contributions at Memon people, reinstating a lot of content that several people had agreed was unsuitable on the talk page. I've just restored the Memon article to its state of several days ago because I could see nothing in their contributions that had not previously been addressed. Since no-one has yet provided a relevant WP:3O at Talk:Lohara dynasty, I'm kind of expecting them to resurface there soon.
I will try to improve the Memon article in due course but, honestly, I am involved in that many disputes with newbies at the moment that it might be a while before I get round to it. - Sitush (talk) 11:32, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
- I've blocked them indefinitely. Please let me know if you see a new account behaving similarly, or if I'm not around, file an SPI. This is someone we don't want around. --Floquenbeam (talk) 20:04, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
- Ok, thanks. They've just re-registered as User:Fatman2020. - Sitush (talk) 20:12, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
- Looks like we'll have to play whack-a-mole until they get bored. --Floquenbeam (talk) 20:16, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
- Possibly, I've already got one malcontent popping up to mess about with my talk page over the last 24 hours or so but that is someone else. From your note on Lkv's page, it sounds as if you have discovered something. Are they not entitled to a WP:BASC link, nonetheless? - Sitush (talk) 20:54, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
- Usually, but the block message they see when they're blocked actually points them to BASC, so that isn't strictly necessary. Plus, I get the impression they've been through all this before, so I'm sure they already know. --Floquenbeam (talk) 21:06, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
- I didn't realise that, sorry. I've never seen the block message but my day will probably come. - Sitush (talk) 21:09, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
- Heh. Yes, I suppose the longer one edits, closer the odds of being blocked for something or other approach 1.0. No apology needed, you're certainly right that we almost always leave a template or pointer to BASC, I just felt this particular editor wasn't worth it. A combination of laziness and snottiness (excellent qualities in an admin). --Floquenbeam (talk) 21:20, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

These are not at all the same and have different rules of usage. Jehochman Talk 21:43, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
- Well that's good to know. But which one is used in Morse Code? And which one would you use to fix a broken dial on a humor meter? --Floquenbeam (talk) 21:49, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
- The answer to both is neither. MastCell Talk 22:35, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
- Of course, how stupid of me. You'd use a minus sign for both. --Floquenbeam (talk) 22:38, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
- Just go take a look at Dash. It says very plainly:

Busting your Butt Barnstar
Ye 'ole Broken Tuchusref Barnstar | ||
For your extended efforts, and breaking yon Gluteus maximus (your vertical smile, backside, behind, butt, rear-end - OK "Busting Ass") to maintain the decency, kindness and good-deeds of Wikipedia, Ched would like to award you (Floquenbeam) the Broken Tuchus Barnstar. Efforts such as this do not go unnoticed. |
Hey, thanks Ched! That's a very unorthodox barnstar - I'll treasure it. Don't tell anyone, but 95% of the time I'm a jerk to everyone, and really only help other people when it's on Jimbo's talk page; trying to look good in front of the boss. I'm still hoping for that big 25% raise. --Floquenbeam (talk) 22:06, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
