2005-05-02 [Ihsahn]: i believe [Lerune] just told you

2005-05-02 [This Profile No Longer Exists!]: ok n/m

2005-05-02 [Lerune]: Profanity is really not an issue. And [This Profile No Longer Exists!], if you report, no one but the Guards will know who did it, but you can message me if you would rather. I don't mind.

2005-05-02 [help_me_fly]: well thank you all and were could i get a banner for supporting the guards

2005-05-02 [This Profile No Longer Exists!]: I already reported him...thnx so much for all the help:)

2005-05-02 [Ihsahn]: stop the revolution

2005-05-02 [Charybdis]: [help_me_fly] : I believe the banner you're thinking of is partway down the stop the revolution page :)

2005-05-02 [help_me_fly]: thank you

2005-05-03 [Calico Tiger]: Just a suggestion in the page layout here. I'd put the retired/veteran guards down after the active guards. Looks odd, otherwise. And people who are just skimming for names see those names as the very first names on the page :)

2005-05-03 [Leara]: Have we given everyone enough time to remove dolls and stuff yet?

2005-05-03 [Ultiem]: yep

2005-05-03 [Leara]: I was hoping for an answe from a Guard, since there the ones going to be dealing with them....

2005-05-03 [Lerune]: I think it has probably been long enough. I have seen some people that have been on since the rules were posted and they still haven't removed them. You can go ahead and report them, if there is any question about whether they know or not, I know I will message them first. So, basically, go ahead. =o)

2005-05-03 [Sunrose]: [Calico Tiger]: More like this? :)

2005-05-03 [help_me_fly]: hey that looks better

2005-05-03 [Calico Tiger]: Yeah, Sunrose ^_^ And it still fits ranks as well as making it less likely they're going to be bothered with questions ;)

2005-05-03 [Ultiem]: indeed, now it just takes some getting used to ^_^

2005-05-04 [Crimson Regret]: Not sure who to talk to, but there is an IP ban on someone who uses ET in our school. Now no one can create new accounts. The reasoning for being banned is that Hotmama_4 has violated the Uploading Art Rules. Is there anything you can do about it? It's really a disruption, since one person got a lot of people in trouble...Thank you very much! ^_^

2005-05-05 [Nita]: You can create new accounts from another place and ask for an antiban.

2005-05-05 [nokaredes]: Hypothetically, if I were to, say...take a screenshot of my house at Cathug, and load it here, would it be violating the UAR?

2005-05-05 [Ultiem]: no, it would not, just game screen shots and movie screen shots

2005-05-05 [Ihsahn]: lets one of the guard answer please

2005-05-05 [Lerune]: Actually, I think that [dragonflye] had done the very same thing at one point, and it was totally fine. ^_^

2005-05-05 [zepher]: the problem with movie and game screenshots are that those are copyrighted, I dont know if shots of a webpage count as such.

2005-05-05 [Ultiem]: no they dont

2005-05-05 [nokaredes]: Okay then. Thanks! ^_^ Hey, while you're here, could you go to Stupid people shouldn't breed and tell them that one of their banners violates the UAR? They don't believe me, or something.

2005-05-05 [Ultiem]: if the illegal banners are posted in a house then they are bad ^_^ but will be looked at

2005-05-05 [Sunrose]: 'I dont know if shots of a webpage count as such.' That also depends on what is on that webpage of course :)

2005-05-05 [zepher]: Yes ofcourse ^_^ Screenshots of websites with copyrighted things visible are... (starts to dislike copyrighting laws)

2005-05-05 [Ihsahn]: if it is of a drawing she made then it would be acceptable :)

2005-05-06 [xx // Fayt L.e.i.n.g.o.d \\ xx]: can i ask something if someone is banned how long is it until they are giving a second chance

2005-05-06 [Calico Tiger]: Depends on the person and the reason they were banned

2005-05-06 [xx // Fayt L.e.i.n.g.o.d \\ xx]: [Dying in your arms!] is the person i wanna know if he can get back on cause he's one of my friends even though i don't want to be associated with someone who got banned in case it reflects on me

2005-05-06 [curator angelus]: can any of you guards put a notice on top of my house say that i am 14 years old because it is getting annoying that people keep thinking that

2005-05-06 [nokaredes]: well, yes, I drew the thing at my CH house, but if that were the reason for me to put up a screenshot, it would be easier to put up the picture. ;)

2005-05-06 [Sunrose]: [xx // Fayt L.e.i.n.g.o.d \\ xx]: [Dying in your arms!] has been given a second chance by the Guards now. Make sure he uses it well :) // [curator angelus]: You want a notice on your house saying you are 14, because it's annoying people keep thinking you are 14?? @.@ That doesn't make sense... .

2005-05-07 [Sunrose]: *glomps [Adnama]*

2005-05-07 [Sunrose]: It isn't random, if you look at the pagechange :)

2005-05-07 [Adnama]: *glompback* :B I'm so late with that. X3

2005-05-07 [Sunrose]: Yay! Welcome back! :D

2005-05-07 [Davorah]: I'm not sure where I go to say this, but I might be going on a short break... read my latest diary entry

2005-05-07 [TwiztidYoshi03]: umm can someone help me?? see my friend tina aka [Miss. Pimpstress] made a s/n on my computer when she spent the night a month ago and now she cant get back on.. and it says your IP address is banned...

2005-05-09 [djxmonster]: I gave her an antiban :)

2005-05-09 [TwiztidYoshi03]: why did you give her an antiban?

2005-05-09 [xx // Fayt L.e.i.n.g.o.d \\ xx]: so she can get on anytime, anywhere am i right [djxmonster]

2005-05-09 [TwiztidYoshi03]: i know but she had an IP ban so she COULDNT get on... the guard has to take it down be4 she can get on

2005-05-09 [djxmonster]: [TwiztidYoshi03], yes she should be able to get on anytime, anywhere. An antiban allows users to log on to anywhere... even if the ip is banned

2005-05-09 [Lerune]: [TwiztidYoshi03] -- what [djxmonster] is saying is that he DID fix it. She should be able to sign on now.

2005-05-10 [Sunrose]: *some comments were deleted. There is no need for 3 people to answer one question. Please let Guards answer Guard-matters :)

2005-05-12 [buchanan babe]: However.. just to give my opinion without offending anyone in fear of being banned........ I think that people should have the right to comment without the fear of it being deleted because its still there opinion and even if it wrong or not it is indeed an opinion.

2005-05-12 [Calico Tiger]: Then post it in the forums. This page is for people who need help from the Guards and we don't need to sift through random spam. Keep it relevant, please.

2005-05-13 [Zab]: ehm...I know it should be my friend and not me saying tjis...but why is the images she have got from me, telling she is a bartender and so on, on my wikipage, deleted from her house? she didn´t brake the copyrightrules because I´ve made the pics and given them to her. So why? is it just a mistake or did the pics brake any rules?

2005-05-13 [Sunrose]: [buchanan babe]: in addition to [Calico Tiger], the comments that were deleted were several people giving the same answer to a question that only Guards can actually answer. It had nothing to do with personal opinions.

2005-05-13 [Sunrose]: [Zab]: who is your friend? :)

2005-05-13 [Zab]: [Ghost the Hybrid]

2005-05-13 [Sunrose]: All wikibanners were removed because she had more than one banner per wiki. The UAR state you can have only 1 banner per wiki.

2005-05-13 [Zab]: OK. But does the bartender image count as a wiki-banner? It just told her title at my wiki...or could she have it too if I shortened the name so it was R_E instead of Really_Empty?

2005-05-13 [shotokan_gal]: A question on reporting, the banners at Nightwish Banners. They contain celebrities, but the page says something about copyright owned by the makers of said badges. Is that something that's been looked into / resolved, or are the banners still violating the uar?

2005-05-13 [Sunrose]: An image is a wikibanner when the name of the wiki is on it or when it advertises the wiki. Thus the bartender image was also a banner.

2005-05-13 [Zab]: ok, I see. just one more question then: would it still be a banner if I shorten the name?

2005-05-13 [Sunrose]: Technically it still represents the wiki, even when the name is not fully mentioned...

2005-05-13 [Jay Ladlehaus]: case in point, http://elftown.lysator.liu.se/img/photo/90857_1112810133.jpg represent the wiki "people who don't know how to spell" even though the wiki name is not there.

2005-05-13 [Zab]: but none who not knows allready...It must be at least a hint pointing on were they have the title...can´t say they´re bartenders on whole elftown, can I?

2005-05-13 [Sunrose]: She can use the banner of the bartender, but it means she can only put that one on her house. She has to choose between the bartender one or the other one...

2005-05-13 [Zab]: ok. I´ve write it on the wiki: that they may only use one badge if they have got a special title or become a bartender.

2005-05-13 [Sylvia Rote]: I was wondering if there was any rules or rules pending agisnt the waste of space on bios. Such as those people you tye out one short phrase and just have it repeated about a million times on their page.

2005-05-13 [Sunrose]: [Zab]: good :) // [Sylvia Rote]: there is no rule against that nor will there be as far as I know. There are ideas to install an automatical maximum biosize though :)

2005-05-13 [Sylvia Rote]: Oh that's good. I was just getting very angered by those long and pointless repeatings.

2005-05-13 [Ultiem]: indeed they are pointless, maybe warnings should be slapped on their houses that its a long bio ahead due to repeatings like one i seen

2005-05-13 [Sunrose]: No, using SS-comments for that is unneeded.

2005-05-13 [Sylvia Rote]: SS-comments?

2005-05-13 [Ihsahn]: the comment on top of peoples houses

2005-05-13 [Sylvia Rote]: ahh, ok. thank you

2005-05-13 [Jay Ladlehaus]: what about [Mikey27]? Was his length simply off the chart, lol?

2005-05-13 [Ultiem]: he has a warning, people like that need to have the pointless stuff stripped, or put on his own wiki :D

2005-05-13 [Jay Ladlehaus]: Indeed.

2005-05-13 [Sunrose]: His house doesn't just contain repeatings though. An SS-comment isn't really needed, but sometimes individual Guards may decide to handle a matter differently on an individual member..

2005-05-16 [zepher]: on [€:DemonFire]`s page: Isn`t http://elftown.lysator.liu.se/img/drawing/67533_1097204565.jpg copyrighted? i doubt he got permission to edit it.. nor does he give credits.

2005-05-16 [Ultiem]: he mightve made it

2005-05-16 [zepher]: Mainstreet Image Competition 2nd image

2005-05-16 [djxmonster]: That image IS allowed. The second image on the competition is like a template

2005-05-16 [zepher]: *Shakes head* I`m sorry, Another error made by people in too much of a hurry to read.

2005-05-17 [Crimson Regret]: I don't mean to be rude, but I think the new 'Uploading Art Rules' are going way too far. I can see not having animated images and everything, and even the no pornographic material rule, but the others are just too strict. I mean, it seems like the guards just want to have power and are using this as a way to show it. I'm bringing this up because 1) I don't have any computer programs to create my own images outside of paint. 2) I feel that as long as we're on a site like this, we should be able to show all the other members how we feel, act, and behave. The easiest way of doing this is by expressing ourselves through how we decorate our houses. Please go a little easier.

2005-05-17 [Zab]: *have absolutely nothing to do with this, I know, but..* can´t you find someone who gives you permission to use their art? That must be ok, I think...

2005-05-17 [Sunrose]: This community has the intention to support everyone's creativity. This is not done so by letting people use random and stolen images they did not create. We prefer things you make yourself, whether pictures or drawings. And IF you find this impossible, we created Elftown Graphics where many good artists of Elftown donated their art to for all members to use on their houses. There is also the possibility of showing other images on wiki-pages. You've been given the privilege to upload images in the first place, the rules state what kind of images are/aren't allowed. With these rules you are still very able to show how you feel, act and behave.

2005-05-17 [Sunrose]: And on a better note it might actually stimulate you to show your own work. :)

2005-05-17 [True, plain and simple]: Plus, no one told you that you are required to put images up in the first place. If you don't have the means to do so, then that isn't our fault.

2005-05-18 [nokaredes]: I have a question: Aside from telling someone to stop commenting, how could someone ban another Elftowner from a wiki s/he owns?

2005-05-18 [Sunrose]: You can't, unless you make the wiki private (viewable by forummembers only: you'd have to create a private forum and invite members to the forum)

2005-05-18 [nokaredes]: Okay then, thanks!

2005-05-18 [Anomynous]: Erm...while browsing through Elftown I stumbled across the house of [PotHead666] and saw the warning "ridiculously long bio ahead'. I've seen at least two other houses like that. Would you like me to provide the links?

2005-05-18 [Kaimee]: Sure :)

2005-05-18 [Anomynous]: Here you go: [Random Screen name], [Snowflame]

2005-05-18 [Sunrose]: The latter two don't have an SS-comment though, or is that what you meant: why the first one has and the other two don't? Or did you just mean to report them? :)

2005-05-18 [Anomynous]: Had I wanted to report them, I'd have written a report (I know how to write one, ask Kaimee, :P just kiddin). I provided the links to those two houses because they don't have the SS warning, and I thought maybe they should, like the first one.

2005-05-18 [True, plain and simple]: There isn't really any need for that....you can pretty much tell load time wise if the house contains many things, and visually you don't have to scroll through it.

2005-05-18 [Anomynous]: True, but one of them keeps repeating "I am noone" and the other "LOVE YA WOLFIE!!!!", just like the first one repeats the word "hermaphrodite". I thought I'd just point that out.

2005-05-18 [Sunrose]: Thanks :)

2005-05-18 [zepher]: Really, there should be a law against that.. *Pictures wolfie going 'Oh lets read every line because it says i`m loved' *

2005-05-18 [Anomynous]: *salutes* Anytime...

2005-05-18 [True, plain and simple]: Well, after the first few lines, you should decide that they're an idiot, and move on. ;)

2005-05-20 [xx // Fayt L.e.i.n.g.o.d \\ xx]: can i ask something?

2005-05-20 [djxmonster]: Go ahead :)

2005-05-20 [xx // Fayt L.e.i.n.g.o.d \\ xx]: is there any way i could get one of them secret service message above my page saying somthing about the fact i don't want messages telling me i'm hot or i'm sexy

2005-05-20 [djxmonster]: Usually the only way that would happen is if you have actually been getting messages that say things like that. Only the Town Guard Lieutenants can confirm this as they can read messages.

2005-05-20 [xx // Fayt L.e.i.n.g.o.d \\ xx]: yeah i admit i reply to these people telling me this but it is getting seriously annoying now

2005-05-20 [djxmonster]: When one of the Town Guard Lieutenants logs in, it should be taken care of.

2005-05-20 [xx // Fayt L.e.i.n.g.o.d \\ xx]: thanks [djxmonster] you've been a great help

2005-05-20 [Sunrose]: Well actually in general we don't write SS's like that. You do realise that by writing an SS like that, there will be a lot of people who will send you such a message on purpose? And a lot of people who don't read the SS's?

2005-05-20 [djxmonster]: Eh, I wasn't sure.... That's why I left it up to a higher power *Bows to [Sunrose]* :P

2005-05-21 [EvilPope11]: I neal 2 u all *neels down*

2005-05-22 [curator angelus]: how do you tell that someone is watching your house??

2005-05-22 [djxmonster]: You can't really... but you can try changing in your bio something and see who always shows up first....

2005-05-22 [curator angelus]: forget what i said

2005-05-22 [djxmonster]: If he is harassing you, report him using the "report to Guards" buttoin on his house

2005-05-22 [curator angelus]: i keep forgetting that

2005-05-22 [djxmonster]: That's ok :)

2005-05-23 [Alkor]: Have a question..How long is [:Alkor:] banned?

2005-05-23 [Sunrose]: Most likely forever. He's been given a second chance and still couldn't behave.

2005-05-23 [Alkor]: That sucks..He told me he let somone us thataccount..Oh-well..His fault..

2005-05-23 [Sunrose]: I agree, he shouldn't have given out his account. We're not babysitters :)

2005-05-23 [Alkor]: Yea..I know..

2005-05-23 [BaBiBuNNie07]: hi everyone.. im just wonderin why my friend [goth_69] was banned... i tried to help him and everything to get signed on but it said banned error... and when i signed on it showed that he was on.. he was trin to sign on but he cant

2005-05-23 [True, plain and simple]: He destroyed some wiki-pages. That wasn't very smart of him to do, and now he's banned.

2005-05-23 [BaBiBuNNie07]: But he said he would stop.... plz give him another chance

2005-05-23 [BaBiBuNNie07]: But then why does it say on his house that he was on 12 mins ago?

2005-05-23 [Calico Tiger]: He tried to log in 12 minutes ago. But couldn't do anything as he's banned :)

2005-05-23 [BaBiBuNNie07]: then why does it show that? i mean if hes banned then why would it show that?

2005-05-23 [Ihsahn]: when you are banned you are able to log in, but your not able to get anything after that except a message stating you are banned

2005-05-23 [BaBiBuNNie07]: oh ok then... so he will never be unbanned?

2005-05-23 [Ihsahn]: most likely not sure, depends on the persont that banned him, most likely not going to be unbanned, sorry

2005-05-23 [BaBiBuNNie07]: oh ok thankz newayz

2005-05-28 [curator angelus]: can someone give [argh] and anti-block, that is the only way i can find my username if i forget it

2005-05-28 [djxmonster]: That didn't make any sense (to me at least)... regardless, I have given [argh] an antiban

2005-05-28 [curator angelus]: thanks

2005-05-28 [curator angelus]: i use him to find this porfile if i forget the username

2005-05-28 [djxmonster]: Why don't you just write it down? Or change the username?

2005-05-28 [curator angelus]: because i lose papers easily, i just changed my username

2005-05-28 [curator angelus]: if you look at argh, calico, then you will notice i have a link from it to my house so it is easy to find

2005-05-28 [Zab]: why was argh banned at all?

2005-05-28 [Calico Tiger]: Yeah, Krieger. I finally figured out what happened ^_^ Which is why I deleted the comment

2005-05-28 [curator angelus]: because i got banned for a mistake on my part, and everything got banned

2005-05-28 [Zab]: ok.

2005-05-28 [curator angelus]: oh ok

2005-05-30 [curator angelus]: can someone put a comment on my house telling people they should read my description before talking to me

2005-05-30 [pixish]: why not make your own graphic and put it in your first image slot?

2005-05-30 [NightTheOwl]: How do you turn into town guard

2005-05-30 [Leara]: 'Before asking "May I become a Guard," please read the FAQ first.'

2005-05-30 [djxmonster]: or Can I be a Guard?

2005-05-30 [Ultiem]: not asking can be a start too, usually makes it harder

2005-05-31 [Savien]: or even reading this page.

2005-05-31 [nokaredes]: There's something wrong with the Veteran Guards link, I think...

2005-05-31 [Ihsahn]: nothing wrong with it at all

2005-05-31 [nokaredes]: You're not seeing "Veterans#Guards"?

2005-05-31 [Ihsahn]: thats called a anchor

2005-05-31 [nokaredes]: But I shouldn't be able to see it...

2005-05-31 [Ihsahn]: <Veterans#Guards> isn't show its your computer

2005-05-31 [Sunrose]: I can see it and click it and it will take me to the GuardVeterans ;)

2005-05-31 [Ihsahn]: the actual link itself works, it is sooposed too......

2005-05-31 [Sunrose]: So why are you telling [nokaredes] it's her computer...?

2005-05-31 [Ihsahn]: i thought she was speaking of <#Guards>

2005-06-01 [silverflagon]: I ahve just recieved a request from [Metropolis] for the use of my account so he can ? I'll copy out his words here "hi i was wondering, if u are not using ur [silverflagon] account I was wondering if I could have it, I am trying to get a house with a member number below 20,000 to get the extra wiki options" Firstly I don't like being asked this, just because I am quiet at the moment, and secondly I feel it is wrong and very cheeky... But is it against the rules here??? 

2005-06-01 [Ihsahn]: report the member and send the message number on a report

2005-06-01 [Furr]: Your profile is your identity here. It isn't wise to let others use it, afterwards, as misunderstandings can happen. I don't know if there are any rules about it, but I would say he was not allowed to do so.

2005-06-01 [Calico Tiger]: Not to mention that he's also lying or misinformed. There are no extra wiki options just for being a member number below 20,000. Never ever give your password out to anyone :)

2005-06-01 [silverflagon]: Thank you :) I've also found another problem, my wiki has been highjacked? My password has been used and changed, is there any way to retrieve my wiki or do I need to forget it and start another? and who should I report this to? The person who did this left a message. " Password Garfield" And the member is [nonexhist] and is exactly what his/her name implies. Their house is empty!

2005-06-01 [Ihsahn]: I will message you trying to figure out whats wrong :)

2005-06-01 [silverflagon]: I've not come in here much recently because my friend was dieing, and coping with the stress and going to college was taking up all my time and energy. Now I've come to terms with her loss and I am getting back to normal slowly, and I don't need to find this kind of thing. I'm not angry or upset really just a little annoyed but I can cope :)

2005-06-01 [Ihsahn]: its alright :)

2005-06-01 [silverflagon]: Thank you [Ihsahn] And I won't give my password to anyone, don't worry :)

2005-06-01 [Ihsahn]: good never do that ;)

2005-06-01 [hanhepi]: cali, i beleive [Metropolis] may have gotten the idea from news #302, where it says "We have been giving all active members with member number less than 20 000 that haven't caused problems, privileges so that they can upload images to wikipages."

2005-06-01 [Calico Tiger]: Ahhhh... Still a silly thing to ask someone. Especially someone they never met before ;)

2005-06-01 [Ihsahn]: or the fact that she is one of the masters i would want a badge too................ if my name was vader

2005-06-01 [hanhepi]: i agree there cali. "hey, you dont know me... can i have your password? *snort snort*"

2005-06-01 [Ultiem]: its just retarded if you want a badge do something to get it.

2005-06-01 [Ihsahn]: hes not likely to have that.unless he shapes up ^_^

2005-06-01 [Calico Tiger]: Let's not jump to conclusions that he was doing it to steal someone's badge :)

2005-06-01 [Ihsahn]: i was just saying cali to be funny you know hurhur? OK I will shut up =p

2005-06-01 [silverflagon]: Thank you for your help everyone, *Hugs!*

2005-06-02 [Popartica3]: i am being harrased by ayla hemora

2005-06-02 [Sunrose]: Send a report to the Guards :)

2005-06-02 [Sagacious Turkey]: What's with the SS message at the top of [NancyDREW]'s house...?

2005-06-02 [Ihsahn]: possibly to inform of the uploading art rules

2005-06-02 [Sunrose]: Been removed now, thanks for the notice :)

2005-06-04 [nokaredes]: Is this picture allowed? <URL:http://elftown.lysator.liu.se/img/photo/Legardored1069614319.jpg>

2005-06-04 [Ihsahn]: if you can prove they didn'y take it then yes if you cant then no

2005-06-04 [nokaredes]: I meant, is it too pornographic?

2005-06-04 [Ihsahn]: its a doll...............................so no

2005-06-05 [TwiztidYoshi03]: ummm the ppl in Kinky People United ...well the site is gone... someone went in and deleted it all last night and I dont know what to do

2005-06-05 [Zab]: better now?

2005-06-05 [TwiztidYoshi03]: thanks

2005-06-05 [Zab]: you´re welcome.

2005-06-05 [Sana]: excuse me? sorry to intrude but I would like a favor? You see, I have been getting weirdos messaging me about where I live, my age, my family, and saying their single. and this time it was a 39 year old man. Would it be ok if someone puts a message above my house saying "This person does not want to cyber at all and doesnt want any more messages about it. If you, in anyway, go in that direction you will be banned or kicked out. you know something like that? Please I beg you

2005-06-05 [Ihsahn]: block those members and report them :)

2005-06-05 [Sunrose]: And such an SS often just challenges people to send you such messages..

2005-06-05 [nokaredes]: Can someone clarify something for me? Another Elftowner made me an animated GIF. Under the old rules, I could put it up in my house, but the new rules say I can't. Is that right?

2005-06-05 [curator angelus]: SS as in nazi, or in secert service?

2005-06-05 [Ihsahn]: animated gifs are not allowed unless you made them :)

2005-06-05 [nokaredes]: Okay, thanks.
