[[User talk:A Neezles A/Archive1]]
I thank you for your determination to revert the vandalism which is occuring here on on the NeoDex. It's beginning to be a daily event now, though i'm sure it will stop soon...eventually it will...hopefully. :o *crosses fingers* :D --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 11:55, 10 Mar 2007 (CST)


:Considering the vandals (or even possibly a single vandal) are coming from different IPs, and always attacking the same page, I don't think they will give up that easily... :/ --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] 19:08, 10 Mar 2007 (CST)

==Admin status acquired==
== Greetings from Jacob ==
For your efforts and dedication to the NeoDex, i feel you have earned the right to be an administrator. congradulations! :) --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 13:59, 18 Apr 2007 (CDT)


:I'd also like to extend my congratulations! Now you won't have to revert spammy edits manually ;D --[[User:Dizzy|Dizzy]] 15:23, 18 Apr 2007 (CDT)
Greetings! Just thought I would stop by and say hello. If you are unaware, I am Jacob, former admin of the NeoDex. It's been awhile since I've been around, and while I don't know what's really happened between now and then, I still have some articles I've been meaning to touch upon. It's good to see you've taken to the NeoDex, and have even made use of the username space provided to users. And I thought only I and a few others would do so. ;) --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 06:35, 26 September 2009 (UTC)


:Congratulations :)--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 15:39, 18 Apr 2007 (CDT)
:Hiya there Jacob. Yes I have read the NeoDex before and I do know you. I wondered about your long absence somehow.

== [[User:Hagrid835]] ==
Hi, just wondering, should we tag his sockpuppets and request for them to be blocked even if they are not used for vandalism but are used for good faith edits? [[User:Pinkgirl34|Pink]][[User talk:Pinkgirl34|girl]][[User:Pinkgirl34/NQII Walkthrough|34]] 16:37, 27 September 2009 (UTC)


::Seems you have taken the guard. I hope people aren't giving you too much trouble.--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 15:08, 13 Jun 2008 (CDT)
:Nope. [[User:A Neezles A|Destiny Charlotte]] 16:52, 27 September 2009 (UTC) Good faith edits should always be welcome.

:::My suggestion is that you please leave the good faith edits there, since you said above earlier that good faith edits are always welcome. For example, this user has reverted vandalism by another IP, and by reverting him you've just placed the vandalism back on the page, as shown [http://pinkpt.com/neodex/index.php?title=Neopets%3A_The_Official_Magazine&diff=47866&oldid=47860 here].

==NeoDex Search Plugin==
They should be blocked/deleted/suspended/etc. to begin with since they are targeting a single editor who they are not. ''That'' is the point. If they are the same person...then we have an issue. The edits can stay ''if they are valid'', but whoever that editor is ''cannot'' and '''will not''' edit from an account that pokes at another editor. '''''Final'''''. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 00:30, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
Can you explain more about the "Neodex Search Plugin"? This the first I've heard about it. Is it a project you worked at on the side? --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 15:51, 16 Sep 2007 (UTC)
:As I mentioned, it's nothing much. It allows the user to add the Neodex to their search bar within Firefox 2 and IE 7, thus allowing them to search for an article on Neodex directly from the browser itself. If required, we can also add search suggestions to the search (eg. typing "neo" returns "neopets", "neopoints" and "neodex"), but for that we'll require at least a database.
:It's something I noticed while setting up Firefox 2 at my workplace. --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] 00:45, 17 Sep 2007 (UTC)

:I agree, Jacob. --[[User:A Neezles A|Destiny]] 00:53, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

== Winner's curse ==
== Zombie Attack ==


Hey, short version: I deleted the article Winner's curse because quite frankly, I couldn't see how it was an article (see [http://pinkpt.com/neodex/index.php/Special:Undelete/Winner%27s_curse version history]).
I figured out what's going on. Your account hasn't been hacked. Rather the vandal has created an account spelled A NeezIes A (the L is actually a capital i but it looks like a lower case L on the recent changes page. You can tell the fake by looking at the address url above). This same letter switch was pulled on some of the moved articles. I've permanently blocked the impersonator. --[[User:Dizzy|Dizzy]] 20:52, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
 
:OH! Thank you so much for letting me know. I was sooooo worried. I created this backup account for nothing. You're the best :) [[User:Destiny|Destiny]] 20:53, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
Long problem-filled version: As you may remember, I resigned a few months ago. So I don't know if the deletion I performed can be considered legitimate. Problem is, nobody ever removed my powers from me. I messaged Kym a few days ago about that. It would be nice if you could tell me what I am supposed to do and if I should restrain myself from sysop actions. --[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 01:33, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

:Once you became sysop, you became a Neodex slave forever, muahaha! ;P
 
:Jokes aside, I agree that we should remove the sysop permission for inactive accounts (> 3~6 months?) and clearly resigned users, in case of account hijack. If they return again, we could add the sysop permission again. At the moment, if any one of us (sysop) go rouge, we might as well kill the whole Neodex (you know, due to lack of active Neodex administrator to stop rouge sysop in time). :P
 
:I had tried sending private message to Kym several times on the forum on a different issue, but I can't seem to get him. I will try again on another communication channel. In the mean time, I don't mind if you use the sysop power. Nice to see you again. :) --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] <sup>( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] )</sup> 02:29, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
 
::Hehe, thanks mate :) Would be nice if you could also address the inactivity of [[User:NeoEva88]] alongside with me.
::Looks like we really have got some activity problems at Neodex :/ At the moment, I do not intend to return (due to me being busy with lessons and real life) and as far as I can see, most of the others aren't very active either. We have like 5 active users at one time at most, of which maybe two are sysops *sigh* What are you gonna do, it has always been like that as far as I can remember. I am glad there are still a few (you, Dizzy and Emeraldosprey) who keep the thing running. Good job, guys :D *hands cookies* --[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 23:03, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
 
:::Hi guys, thanks for the pokes. I made all the changes requested and have removed sysop powers from inactive accounts identified. I usually reply to emails and PMs at 12 PM and 4 PM every day.

Messages[edit]

Greetings from Jacob[edit]

Greetings! Just thought I would stop by and say hello. If you are unaware, I am Jacob, former admin of the NeoDex. It's been awhile since I've been around, and while I don't know what's really happened between now and then, I still have some articles I've been meaning to touch upon. It's good to see you've taken to the NeoDex, and have even made use of the username space provided to users. And I thought only I and a few others would do so. ;) --Jacob 06:35, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

Hiya there Jacob. Yes I have read the NeoDex before and I do know you. I wondered about your long absence somehow.

User:Hagrid835[edit]

Hi, just wondering, should we tag his sockpuppets and request for them to be blocked even if they are not used for vandalism but are used for good faith edits? Pinkgirl34 16:37, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

Nope. Destiny Charlotte 16:52, 27 September 2009 (UTC) Good faith edits should always be welcome.
And to be sure the accounts are sock, mind you. No socks please, but be sure something is a sock at least. ;) --Jacob 23:45, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
My suggestion is that you please leave the good faith edits there, since you said above earlier that good faith edits are always welcome. For example, this user has reverted vandalism by another IP, and by reverting him you've just placed the vandalism back on the page, as shown here. Pinkgirl34 00:07, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

They should be blocked/deleted/suspended/etc. to begin with since they are targeting a single editor who they are not. That is the point. If they are the same person...then we have an issue. The edits can stay if they are valid, but whoever that editor is cannot and will not edit from an account that pokes at another editor. Final. --Jacob 00:30, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

I agree, Jacob. --Destiny 00:53, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
I see. I agree that they should be blocked because their usernames are obviously inappropriate. But I suggest keeping the edits, just like what you suggested earlier. Pinkgirl34 01:38, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
I'll block the user then but leave a message as to why the block is there. --Dizzy 04:23, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
