Rule Violation Reports (New forum)

@Twisted_Little_Raven Has asked to be unbanned, due to not being banned on FCOC/JBW, and wishing to participate in their forums. Saying they're willing to accept an immediate permaban if they ever post in the VSBW section.
I know im an egotistical immature crybaby. I apologize, but if I can't be allowed to use the forum on for even those sites, its fine. Even if somebody pings me from vsb, or rvr, I would still not be allowed to reply to it as that would be rule dancing in this instance.
I'm personally against this, since they were banned due to (among other things) bypassing the slur filter to say the n-word, that possesses a risk to all of our communities as something linked to Fandom.
 
It is an unfortunate thing, if one of the wikis bans a user but the others have an inability to have their own say on that. That said, the nature of Raven's offense might earn them a ban anyways? I'm not sure how FC/OC staff would feel about that, truthfully.

@Antvasima Is it possible to ban people from particular segments of the forum? I know we can threadban, but is it possible to set up a ban from all of VSBW, while leaving access to FC/OC and JBW intact? I'd rather not leave it to chance, if we were to humor this request, if possible.

Yeah, I'd rather no take risks. Normally, her actions would realistically warrant being globally blocked across all Fandom platforms, let alone our sister platforms. Though the respective bans of those wikis are decided among the staff of those communities. But unfortunately, as Antvasima laid out, there isn't a way to block her from the VS Battles forum without banning from the other forums, nor is bans from entire boards; just thread bans being separate from forum bans.
 
Well, I've had enough of this guy, @Ciel_Trinity439. I would like to request a block option so that I don't have to see his messages. He's definitely not worth my time, and I don't want to be involved in anything he does. This isn't the first time he's behaved like this. He keeps bringing up unrelated topics and starts yapping nonsense that has nothing to do with the thread. I was ignoring him but notification is getting pinged.

Well, in my opinion their message is a rule violation. It's extremely condescending and reminds me of a stereotypical schoolyard bully.
Rather than have you two block each-other and potentially create confusion in a thread, I'd prefer to give them a warning or at least have them apologize and stop talking like that.

I was simply finding the way you behaved in that thread worthy of that remark. Denying a Translation Staff's explanation and even not properly researching when you were given the time of days (I'm referring to what you did with Soul Corridors). I also don't like how you called our scalings headcanon many times in the past while Astral was banned, or when you clamed that he lied or deceived others, simply because he wasn't there to defend it.

I know my message was not nice either, but I don't think I can get along with you. I don't mind blocking you either. I hate that kind of behavior and then trying to act like you're the victim.

@Ciel_Trinity439
Well, this is not the first time Tensura supporters have acted like this toward someone who disagrees with them. We had Tempest, or whatever his name was, who was constantly mocking @Dereck03 despite being given warnings, and Joasmith as well. I guess there have been some serious issues with these fans. If they can't argue, they should stop trying to target others.

refrain from trying to accuse verse supporters of something when you have something against one individual and can't even recall the name of the other, it does not collaborate with your point
And let's also refrain from commenting until further staff steps up to speak about the matter at hand

Except Berga accused Ant in the same thread. Then you have someone else targeting me for defending Ant.

Yeah, obviously not all supporters are at fault, but most of them seem to think it's okay to just mock others.

Also, if anyone opens the Tensura discussion thread, they can see how the same supporters trash-talk people who disagree with them. Obviously, I'm not saying everyone, but definitely most of them.

Anyway that's not even my point. My point is some people won't change by warnings alone.
 
I'm reading further now, it seems like the rudeness is not just in one direction.
Eld has said the following, for example:
Each one of you just showing you people don't know how speed tier works here.
I think we should be careful with applying blocks like this, because people talking past each other in a thread can be confusing, and we don't want to blindly silence debate either. A community like this can only operate if diverse voices are permitted to speak freely and be heard. That said, we have done it before if it feels like there's not better options.

I'd like to hear some suggestions from other staff members at this point.

Sorry, how is that rude? He brought up CSAP's tiering system to argue against the wiki's tiering system. My whole point was that you people don't understand how the wiki's speed system works.

I did say "here." I wasn't calling them dumb or anything. I was saying they don't understand how our wiki's speed system differs from others, and that's all I meant.

@Ciel_Trinity439
I don't mean to come across as condescending, but honestly, I will not apologize to him no matter what happens.

If someone insults people who are close to me or continues to treat them badly, including repeatedly trying to damage their reputation, it's very difficult for me to overlook that. That's simply my position.

His behavior toward Tensura supporters and Astral while Astral was banned has also continued to bother me, so I don't see any reason why I should apologize to him.

Thank you.
 
Left instructions for them to behave better.
Hey Lephy, could you please take a look at this case. Two replies from that guy above. It's pretty clear that he's not ready to change his behavior. So I think it's better to block his messages for me.

I can make Eldemade and Ciel not be able to see each other's posts if that is the least bad solution here. 🙏
I'd also like to ask that he be warned against continuing to describe Tensura's scaling as nothing more than personal assumptions, misleading, or simply "headcanons," when he has never been able to prove that this is actually the case. If someone makes such accusations, they should be able to support them with evidence and prove them. However, despite repeatedly making these claims, he has consistently failed to prove them and always ends up losing.

He keeps repeating the same accusations, yet he never provides any evidence proving that Tensura's scaling is based on personal assumptions or headcanons.

That is the main reason why I became frustrated/upset, and it is also why many other Tensura supporters became frustrated/upset as well, including some of the people Elde mentioned above. Despite that, he portrays the situation as if the fault lies entirely with them and makes himself the victim here.

I also want to point out a specific incident. At one point, Elde relied on his own personal interpretation of a statement. When I asked a translator to clarify the original Japanese text, the translator explicitly rejected Elde's interpretation. Despite that, Elde continued to rely on the same interpretation and even included it in the summary that he gave to the Staff, and assumes that his own interpretation is correct whenever the Staff asks him for "proof" of his claims. I find this contradictory: he criticizes others for relying on "headcanons," personal interpretations, or even possible mistranslations, yet continues to use his own personal interpretation after it was rejected by our Staff.

If this happens again, I will simply report it.

I would also like @Tatsumi504 to be warned for the exact same reasons, including repeatedly denying things that were literally established in the previous thread, and when he is simply asked to make another thread to discuss them, he ignores that and continues this behavior.

thx you

This isn’t necessarily my business but he’s right. @Dereck03 was attacked unprovoked during the time of my report by a Tensura supporter which is why he’s currently banned. You can find it here or alternatively from below;
Undeleting this so everyone can see, what should we do here?
You should see Tempest’s comment. This is all I had to add not like it’s significant but yeah.

I really don't want to deal with someone who's just looking for attention. I've been trying to ignore him this whole time instead of engaging, but he keeps trying to trash-talk me anyway.

At this point, I'm not interested in arguing with him. So obviously just make we don't see each other posts.
Could you link to the posts you think are violations?
I don't see how saying, "I don't agree with your interpretation," is a rule violation.
You can check the translation-related discussion here.
If simply disagreeing with someone else's interpretation is considered a rule violation, then no one would be able to have a debate in the first place.

Heck, even Raiku said the kanji can be translated that way, and the dictionary supports that meaning as well but he didn't agree with the interpretation. At the end of the day, it's a matter of interpretation. It's up to the staff to evaluate the arguments, vote, and decide which interpretation makes the most sense. Neither Ceil nor anyone else has the authority to insist that their own interpretation must be treated as the only correct or literal one.

What I find ironic is that he's accusing me of forcing my interpretation while doing exactly that himself by insisting everyone accept his view without question. If that's the standard, then are we just supposed to accept whatever he says without being allowed to challenge it? That isn't how a fair or productive discussion works.
 
I don't see saying your X scaling is headcanon, A interpretation is fanfiction, are considered rule violation and report worthy. Unless they doing that with malicious purposes and derail the thread

Being kind is a rule. The phrasing of these comments are unnecessary.

Making unnecessary and derailing comment =/= not being kind. Comment could come off as frustration or aggressive depending on the situation, but at best we just tell people to cool off their mind. If they are repeated then we detele post and give proper judgement. But the text itself is a neutral thing, it is neither kind nor not kind, you can't tell people being kind or not kind to you based on some non-emotional texts.

But well if you have concrete proof of him being intentionally not kind to you or anyone else then free to post them. We will judge the case accordingly
 
Wait i think we went off into a completely different discussion altogether, about the case, my opinion is that both Ciel and Elde should just cool off and try not to talk to each others next time. But if it is too hard then block them from seeing each other posts is also a way. Elde already want to block messege method, idk about @Ciel_Trinity439

I think the difference between "I disagree with this" and "this is headcanon, fanfiction, wank, etc" is clear. Anyways, I will stop commenting.
 
If calling things headcanon is the worst they do I honestly couldn't care less.
The 'Be Kind' as I wrote it simply refers to not being toxic, mean, or abusive.
It is not a demand that every comment be worded in the most polite way humanly possible.

If there's something worse than that I once again ask that it be linked.

Otherwise, since neither side wants to admit any fault, it's not really severe enough to be a proper violation, but it's clearly a big deal to you guys, I suppose a mutual block is not an unreasonable choice.
