Forum:IT'S OVER 9000!!!!!!

http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20091227230730/adventuretimewithfinnandjake/images/archive/b/bc/20100401212842!Wiki.png

More specifically it is over 10,000 actually. WTF?!?! Why do we have over ten thousand pictures here?! Do we have a server space limit?! I sure hope not... <.<; Should we start limiting uploadable pictures? Maybe set it so that new and unregistered users can't upload pictures (if we can do that) or something like that?  ƒel inoel. 14:25, April 26, 2012 (UTC)

Comment

 * New and unregistered users weren't really the problem. The problem is that some people only upload images for one-time use in some random blog. There was even a blog dedicated to trying to get to 10,000 images on the wiki. Also, a lot of those pictures were uploaded solely for the purpose of trolling. So, what should we do about all of those images? -- [[File:Mew.gif]] Legendary  Dark   Knight [[File:Latias.gif]] 16:06, April 26, 2012 (UTC)


 * I am personally all for deleting images used for blog comments. Seriously, just look at the unrelated images or check out certain user contributions when it comes to file uploads, it is just spam! Only reason why I am not going on a tirade about it, is because I know the Admins here have a different mindset about image uploading. -- Bunai82 (talk) 18:57, April 26, 2012 (UTC)


 * I think we should start deleting all those old, useless files that were only used in blog comments. Sky Monster 19:48, April 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, although there are no technical limits to how many images we can have (as far as I know), certainly I'd prefer fewer pointless user images. I'd be OK with culling old images that are only used on blog comments. Beyond that though, the real solution would be to actually get people to stop uploading them, but I'm not sure if we want to instate a new policy for that.--Cornprone 02:59, April 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * Interesting terminology, "Culling."
 * ...do you read HomeStuck? [[Image:Shinx.png|link=User:felinoel|User Page]]  ƒel inoel [[Image:Scraft.gif|link=Special:Contributions/Felinoel|Contributions]] . 03:06, April 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry, no. That word was no meant to be a reference to anything. --Cornprone 14:26, April 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * lol too bad, and I didn't think it was supposed to be a reference, when someone hears a word used a lot they could start picking it up and using it themself, I figured that was the case here since in HomeStuck the legless alien often worried that he would get culled for being disabled back when he was on his home planet.
 * Anyways, yes I feel we should start the cullings and I've noticed quite a few already getting culled. [[Image:Shinx.png|link=User:felinoel|User Page]]  ƒel inoel [[Image:Scraft.gif|link=Special:Contributions/Felinoel|Contributions]] . 14:41, April 27, 2012 (UTC)

Images
Do you guys really need to delete so many images? I mean, just because a blog hasn't had comments in a while doesn't mean people don't still read it or look at the images. And I don't have the idea the wiki has slowed down the slightest despite 10,000+ images. It's just as fast as any other wiki. Part of AT wiki's strength is in the nice blogs and the sharing of artworks, why take all that away for no other reason then "there are too many images and that's like weird or something so let's just delete them".

 * comunity central wiki has about 50,000 pictures " [[File:Staraptor.gif]] Fear  the   Demon [[File:Weavile.gif]] " 13:52, April 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your support Demon! Let's fight the system together, it's clearly failing miserably right now. Marcaline 13:59, April 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * Nice blogs? LOL. From the, essentially, spam I've seen in the Recent Wiki Activity, I can tell that most blogs aren't "nice." Their downsides (many comments are filled with cussing and insults and the blogs attract more trolls than decent people) outweigh their positives (a few people may still use them for good stuff). Also, blogs don't really help the advancement of the wiki. The majority of people that regularly post on blogs nearly never try to enhance actual articles. This, combined with its attraction of trolls and other such things, I think blogs aren't worth it to have... Saber  Sworn  14:02, April 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * Nice blogs? Yes, nice blogs. Like my blog. You wanna hate, go ahead. Hate me all you want. Hate the blogs all you want. But don't destroy something beautiful just because you do not understand it's appeal. Marcaline 14:22, April 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't understand the appeal of cussing every third word. Nor do I understand the appeal of posting images referencing illegal drug usage or offensive language. Nor do many other people. I know that there's other people out there who don't necessarily like what the blogs (possibly indirectly, since the people that post on them and the images are problems) are doing.

 * What are you, like seventy? :P Or a preacher? Dude... chill... :) Marcaline 14:26, April 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * never enhance articles!? maybe I should just delete all the season 4 plots, CUZ I MADE ALL OF THEM!" [[File:Staraptor.gif]] Fear  the   Demon [[File:Weavile.gif]] " 14:27, April 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * Not to be rude, but have you ever noticed that your plots were terribly written and edited by others several, several times? At times, I couldn't even understand what was being said. I don't mean any offense, just honesty. Saber  Sworn  14:29, April 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yo Demon! Stick it to the man, fight the power like a boss! :) Marcaline 14:30, April 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * SCREW YOU SABER SWORN! I FIGHTING THE POWER NOW CUZ OF THAT HORRIBLY CRUEL AND INSENSITIVE COMMENT! THE PLOTS ARE ALWAYS GONNA BE EDITED NO MATTER WHO MAKES 'EM! i STILL SEE THE EPISODE 1 PLOT BEING EDITED! THE PLOTS BEFORE I EDIT THEM ARE LIKE "somthing happend, the end" SO SCREW YOU!

 * I told you I meant know offense; I'd rather be honest then a liar. I'm not even particularly good at writing anyway. Saber  Sworn  14:34, April 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hey guys, cool it. There's no reason to make this into an argument about unrelated topics. Getting back to the real issue, we did not officially institute a policy that images used in old blog posts should be deleted. We were discussing it here, but did not yet reach a conclusion. So SaberSworn, please stop marking for deletion those images, for now, until we actually decide they need to be deleted. Now let's please have an actual discussion about this issue. (That said, images that violate the code of conduct should still be deleted. ) --Cornprone 14:39, April 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * he nearly made me cry with his edit, he didn't mean to be rude? well he was anyway! don't matter what he "meant by it" what does him saying that even accomplish!? making me feel like a peice of crap? well you've succeded, congrats SS" [[File:Staraptor.gif]] Fear  the   Demon [[File:Weavile.gif]] " 14:41, April 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * Well for starters, dear Cornprone, you could make it a rule that only mods (read: people with actual power of deletion) can tag files for deletion. If you do not have the power to delete them (like SaberSworn) you should not be tagging files for deletion either. SS has really been on a deletion-spree lately and he's crossing a line here, even tagging AT-related files from my own blog for no good reason. Marcaline 14:43, April 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't mean to drag Sky into this, but I asked him about the old images thing and he said it was fine to mark some of them. I may have marked more than he had intended, but, honestly, those images aren't used anymore and are doing nothing for the wiki. It's not just that, but many people are waltzing around thinking they can do anything (which they basically can). I mean look at Lolli, he was finally banned after ALL he's done, and only for 2 weeks... Saber  Sworn  14:52, April 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * Face it, SS, we can. And you know it. I'll waltz around doing stuff until the end of times. And there is nothing you can do about it. You're like a neigborhood watch thinking he's a real cop even though everyone chuckles when he passes by to visit the donut shop. :P Marcaline 14:55, April 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * That's the exact mentality everyone is letting you have. You just stated yourself that you can do whatever you want without getting in trouble. It's odd how no high-ranking officials stop to consider that very often... I've not telling you how to do your jobs, I'm just merely suggesting. Saber  Sworn  14:58, April 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * You're doing a little more then just suggesting stuff, Captain Saurkraut. Last time I checked, tagging files is not "suggesting", it's making sure stuff get's deleted. You're acting like you have a license to kill but you know perfectly well that's worthless cuz' you ain't got no gun. And what's wrong with my attitude? At least I'm not being Ms. Buzzkill here, like u... silly nilly. :) Marcaline 15:01, April 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * here is the problem with mods and admins, THEY ONLY GIVE WARNINGING! you just piss people off by giving them 2,000 "warnings" immediate bans, maybe 1 warning at the most is what you gotta do, just giving warnings is annoying and makes everyone hate you thinking "why is he yelling at me and not banning other people/me who have done the same thing over and over?" it is really bad position you are in, you really need to be more assertive. " [[File:Staraptor.gif]] Fear  the   Demon [[File:Weavile.gif]] " 15:06, April 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * Or... less assertive... and they also have to promise me never to make officer Lameface a mod. Ever. That would be... messed up man. :) Marcaline 15:08, April 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * That's was quite the misinterpretation up there Marcaline. I was suggesting that for people that actually break the rules, they shouldn't get 20+ warning and chances. The leniency here is painfully palpable. And Demon actually agreed with what I said...? The admins do seem to give "2000 warnings." If even the trolls know that, there's something wrong with the system. I may only be one voice, but the logic and intelligence in my arguments can't seriously be refuted. I mean the very guy breaking the rules says the admins are not assertive enough... does that not mean anything??? Saber  Sworn  15:11, April 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * excuse me...but...did you just call me a troll? ....*eye twiches* you..you must be joking right? *eye twich, face growing red in anger* " [[File:Staraptor.gif]] Fear  the   Demon [[File:Weavile.gif]] " 15:14, April 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yeah, Demon, way to shoot yourself in the foot there! And SaberSworn, ya know what? I don't care. This is a discussion about images and user rights. You do not have the right to delete images so why are you tagging 'em for deletion? Just stop it man. It's not helping anyone and nobody is gonna give you a medal for it. You're only making yourself look like a total douche. Is that what you want to happen man? Marcaline 15:15, April 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, let's focus this on discussing the actual topic of images used in blogs. If you want to talk about how to deal with behavioral problems, please start a different forum topic for that. --Cornprone 15:17, April 28, 2012 (UTC)
