I'm not sure where to post this, so I hope this is the right place. Can you please ban Anig? He has been deleting articles repeatedly. The NEDM inspectors were all banned for deleting 1 article each, so surely Anig is deserving of a ban.

So Anig is allowed to vandalize the wiki? He vandalized several long-standing articles multiple times! What does it take?

By the way, you should sign your name on talk pages. And using capitalization would be nice as well.<BR>

Plus, why did you abbreviate 'Know Your Meme' as 'KYM'? I thought you said nobody understood acronyms?

alright, I'll succumb to your demands, but the reason I didn't like the Know Your Meme page was because it wasn't particularly YTMND related, since it covers all internet. I believe theres a press page where YTMND appears in the news or magazines, this would be the most fitting place for it. However I doubt many YTMND users would care, and in fact hate it being there as a few users have created YTMND's just to post on Know Your Meme.

I remember the press page, but it wasn't on the wiki but linked to from the about page; it seems to have been removed. I can understand your concerns about users self-promoting on the site, but that's on their end. --[[User:Westing1992|Westing1992]] 12:30, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

Westing - johnnylurg has been trolling and vandalizing this wiki for 6 months. Why the fuck don't you do anything? Are you afraid? Confused? A douche bag? What? What's your problem dude? - real Umfuld
  
I'm pretty sure there was a wiki page as well, which was just a mirror of the about section's press page.
+
I made an entry for [[User:UmfuId]] in [[User-related_fads]] and [[User:UmfuId]] may try to have it removed. It's a perfectly legitimate entry. The content is neutral and the information is correct. You can search for "umfuld" yourself and see there are hundreds of sites made about him. He is clearly a fad. If he doesn't want his name to appear in the wiki, that's too bad. There are rules and they must be followed. [[User:Nothingman|Nothingman]] 07:04, August 19, 2011 (CDT)

Westing1992, can you PLEASE ban Umfuld or give him a time-out or something? He is clearly very upset about being included ANYWHERE in this wiki and unfortunately for him, that doesn't matter. He provokes edit wars over any edit made by someone he doesn't like. He has vandalized this page. He removed my message to you. He contributes nothing. What does it take? At the least, can you just confirm that the [[User-related_fads]] entry is legitimate and protect it? Thanks [[User:Nothingman|Nothingman]] 07:32, August 19, 2011 (CDT)
  
How about integrating articles (stuff like http://wiki.ytmnd.com/Category:Articles_to_be_merged)?  How do you go about doing that?

Westing1992, can you please take a look at the history on this page? Umfuld has repeatedly deleted my messages here. I have not once deleted any of his, yet in his last edit, he claimed I did. Please consider giving him a ban. I feel like he's getting a free pass to harass me here. [[User:Nothingman|Nothingman]] 20:55, August 20, 2011 (CDT)

[[User:lacrossestar83]] just vandalized the wiki by blanking a page for no reason. You specifically told users not to do that in your update to the rules page. This is not the first time he has done this. Can you please take action? [[User:Nothingman|Nothingman]] 19:13, August 21, 2011 (CDT)

I don't know if you or anyone else would be interested in this but I think it would be cool to keep track of what sites are popular during a month. Meaning a page listing each month as it passes with the sites that got X amount of views. Over 5,000 or whatever. Because you can always go back and look at older profiles like Syncan or Sitsu's but it's too bad you can't see like what were the most popular sites in Nov. 2005 and so on. I doubt you could do much about doing past months / years apart from just sites you know of putting them in the month they were made (but not all views come right away so you wouldn't really know I guess). But if we started it now at least in 2 years no one would be lamenting that they don't have it about now. - Umfuld

 +
Please consider the possibility that Umfuld is the real troll here. Notice the number of account names he has claimed as his own. Why does he have so many account names? In his last edit here on the wiki, he has argued to dismiss the opinions of another user. He is arguing that the user is bad, rather than arguing that the user's opinions are wrong. His arguments here never have anything to do with the subject matter. They only ever deal with how everyone here is bad and shouldn't be allowed to make edits whether they are legitimate edits or not. Umfuld has never contributed to this wiki. He has been added to the List of Trolls by about 10 users. He is creating a hostile environment with his constant personal attacks. Could you please at least warn him that when he edits pages, he needs to focus on the merit of the edits and not on who made them? Thanks. [[User:Image|Image]] 20:21, September 23, 2011 (CDT)
  
==Excuse me,==
 
  
I have noticed that you've reverted the recent edits to the "list of trolls" page. If you are unaware, Umfuld and JJJ have become prominent trolls today on YTMND and pose a somewhat serious threat level to the users' enjoyment on YTMND. With their non-stop downvoting, comment -'ing and hostile comments all over many sites, especially user-based sites (rodheh, lacrossestar83, pde10, uncircumcised, mik3m, etc...) they are hindering the enjoyment of users who have done little to nothing to originally impact their own experience (other than simply existing). They should be put back into the troll list.
+
Regarding the YTMND User "Image" - Talking with Max Goldberg in the YTMND chat myself and some others asked him about alts and he actually said "If someone wants to make an account with the user name Image just to post sites and not vote I have no problem with that." The next day I registered that user name and have made some popular sites with that account while never voting with it. The reason people do this is because the environment of an unmoderated YTMND makes it impossible for most legitimate users to receive fair ratings. There is no reason for someone else to register that user name here other than trolling or "Fucking with the wiki". - Umfuld Sept 2011
  
As for Lickitwellhiem, I would skip out on him as he's not much of a troll, simply an erratic pissed off individual and has been improving recently.

-The "defacing" of Obrant24's and your pages was just pointing out that you don't have accounts on the main site, which is usually the domain of trolls and/or spambots. Plus, you didn't even bother to edit your page, which to me was a sign that you didn't actually care about it.
  
Do you ever talk to max? I try to remove any content that is BS as soon as I see it but think that something could be done to help stop it. These dickheads are just trying to build links and I am not sure if it is an automated process that we are dealing with here or what.  Seems to me the best way to defeat these assholes is to not allow them to get any benefit from their spamming.  That's why I have been trying to remove their shit ASAP.  If google never discovers the links they are putting in they get no benefit and they are just wasting time. I know it's a pain in the ass but if you go killing spam pages, make sure to edit their stuff out of it before you kill it so that their domains don't show up in the deleted message like here http://wiki.ytmnd.com/index.php?title=Adult_Singles_Dating_Oskaloosa_Iowa&redirect=no . Let me know if there is anything I can do to help stop these bastards. - Shizz * Fyrestorm told me not to edit the spam pages for what ever reason :|

Since I know now that you're definitely looking at the wiki, here's some advice: get a YTMND account so you can vote, maybe even make some sites; contribute to the wiki by editing its main articles; if somebody edits your page, do something about it.--[[User:Westing1992|Westing1992]] 16:56, April 4, 2012 (CDT)

Dear Westing, why did you ban DrewDickless? He made a single edit, on a user page that he had permission to edit. Once again, I notice Lacrossestar83 is allowed to edit at will, but not DrewDickless. Also, The IP used by Starman2001 had only been used by Starman2001. You already banned the IPs used by Dlufmu and Troll. I think you are lying. Also, Lacrossestar83 is summarizing his edits with comments like, "lol" and "pwnd". How many accounts have you banned for "intimidating behavior/harassment"? Please reconsider.
