Revision as of 10:28, 17 June 2024

Comments on talk pages should be signed with "~~~~", which will be converted into your signature and a timestamp.
And now in more detail
(using Template:Message) Who are all those people who refuse to see the majority of candidates as moderators? Why did anyone other than you offer ideas for improvement and express negative opinions at the right moments when something was wrong? Where have you been before?
Now let's talk about something else. What is a normal wiki for you? One person gave an example with prop_static, a page that my contribution barely touched, and which is INCREDIBLY disgusting in its visuals. How do you even read this crap? Do you like it when a bunch of gray text exists on your screen?
I may change this message later. I don't have enough time to write a proper question yet. --THE OWL (talk) 15:09, 17 Jun 2024 (UTC)
(using Template:Message) We expressed our concerns when you started doing things like editing protected pages, but you ignored us. --SlimekPL (talk) 15:13, 17 Jun 2024 (UTC)
(using Template:Message) Template:Text --THE OWL (talk) 15:42, 17 Jun 2024 (UTC)
(using Template:Message) Arguing about the quality of specific edits is pointless, you clearly have no intention of listening to people's complaints. You clearly see this site as your own personal pet project given the thing about wanting FTP (just ridiculous). Just because you make a lot of edits doesn't necessarily mean you're improving the quality of this wiki, frankly I'm baffled when I try to use this site and see the mess of templates on every page. Spamming changes doesn't make you a good candidate for a moderator. Find another hobby! --Fingerprince (talk) 15:22, 17 Jun 2024 (UTC)
(using Template:Message) IS it really that hard to believe that there are other users out there who don't like the current state of the VDC? MOST of which is a direct result of you and this "team_34"s so called contributions? Many of us find it near impossible to edit even basic pages to add information for the games we work on due to the clusterbutt that currently exists. --Haaselh0ff (talk) 15:23, 17 Jun 2024 (UTC)
(using Template:Message) Templates are a good thing but when there are a lot of them with lots of links it becomes hard to read. And when you find a grammatical error you go to the edit page, you actually have to go to the multipage, then to the template that grammatical error is in and only then on the strings subpage find the needed string. --Mr. SystemError (talk) 15:33, 17 Jun 2024 (UTC)
(using Template:Message) As I have already clarified on the candidates page and on my page, Team_34 has nothing to do with this site. This team is my personal project and has nothing to do with this site.
--Max34 (talk) 15:40, 17 Jun 2024 (UTC)
(using Template:Message) It has dawned on me that several accounts have been created by people solely to participate in this vote. I'm not really able to cross-check if someone is using sockpuppets, but some of them have obviously been on this wiki before; I'd heavily encourage well-established wiki members to participate in votes here and I'll probably go based off of what those people say rather than the several accounts created today that are only being used to participate in this vote.
--PabloS (talk) 15:52, 17 Jun 2024 (UTC)
(using Template:Message) Most of these new accounts are users who are active in other communities, Vaya is an active Mapcore admin and moderator, Squidski is an active Source Engine Discord admin and moderator, Slimek is a mapper who has had multiple maps featured in CSGO, Angel is an active developer of Source 2 Viewer and does amazing work as a mapper as well, these users have newer accounts but are pillars of the community who have qualms about the current state of the VDC and the reason it's in such a state is because of these very users who are trying to prop themselves up as moderators of it. --Haaselh0ff (talk) 15:57, 17 Jun 2024 (UTC)
(using Template:Message) The VDC has been in a terrible state since at least early 2023, when THE OWL and other users practically took over the wiki --SlimekPL (talk) 16:00, 17 Jun 2024 (UTC)
(using Template:Message) I'll keep the votes. I'd encourage more users to run, though. --PabloS (talk) 16:05, 17 Jun 2024 (UTC)
(using Template:Message) Fair point Pablo, I was hesistant about voting anyway. I'm a Momentum Mod and Strata dev/licensee so quite active with Source work, but not an active contributor, I'll remove my vote. I do think it's fair however to voice that I think these guys are spamming crap changes and making one of them admin would probably lead to endless further drama. --Fingerprince (talk) 16:10, 17 Jun 2024 (UTC)
(using Template:Message) Give me 5 (or more) clearly described examples of the negative impact of our contributions on the wiki and I will tell you why this is not true or why I have been wanting to change this for a long time. We did too much work and the only examples were prop_static whose page didn't really change, or protected pages that we edited for the right reasons.
I'll be changing a lot of things towards the end of 2024, too much, so a clear description of the problems will only benefit the wiki. But, don't suggest something like "I don't like the new stuff, I want to sit with a broken UI from 2010 and a clutter of plain gray text". --THE OWL (talk) 17:28, 17 Jun 2024 (UTC)
