2011-02-24 [Mortified Penguin]: I need that badge!!

2011-03-05 [hanhepi]: XD yes, the dolphincorn is pretty awesome.

2011-03-23 [kians mummy]: My favourite fish is a dolphin, please let me have that badge???!!!

2011-03-23 [Akayume]: Dolphins are mammals.

2011-03-23 [Thunder Cid]: Yes, but if I may. I'm sorry [kians mummy], but this badge is reserved for those who are responsible for maintaining the Mainstreet Poll. Should we be in a situation where we need additional assistance we have your application and will take it into review with the other hopefuls :)

2011-03-23 [kians mummy]: _{in a year or so} who said that

2011-03-23 [windowframe]: Yes. In a year or so, when you've been given sufficient time to prove that you're reliable, trustworthy and here for the long-haul. I do not understand why that is problematic, or why you expect to be handed badges without proving over a period of time that you've got what it takes. :/ 

2011-03-23 [kians mummy]: because you lot run this place like a f**king army camp just because you have the power to.

2011-03-23 [windowframe]: I don't see how that's a relevant answer to my question, but I also don't really see how we run this place like an army camp. Unless, of course, facebook, gaiaonline, etc. and most other social networking sites are also army camps in your opinion.

Also: every now and then you come out with this attitude about how we're all jerks, power-abusers, etc. And then the next minute you're asking us for badges. Why do you think we would trust you with the privs and responsibility when half the time you're just typing abuse at us? :/

2011-03-23 [kians mummy]: no because i asked to become a facebook volunteer more or less as soon as i went on and they jumped down my throat

2011-03-23 [windowframe]: So basically, it's because we haven't given you a badge yet that you think we're an "army camp"? Incidentally, I was on this site for about 3 years before I even got my first badge. :)

2011-03-23 [kians mummy]: just forget it, i'm not waisting any more of your precious time piece out

2011-03-23 [windowframe]: :/ I wish you'd just make it clear what it is you think we're doing wrong so I could understand. I dislike it when people accuse us of being nasty and don't explain to us why. How do they expect us to do anything about it? >_< ;_;

2011-03-23 [kians mummy]:

you won't do anything about it, i try and talk sense and all you do is mock me, i won't be commenting anymore. bye

2011-03-23 [windowframe]: When have I mocked you?? O_o All I'm doing is trying to understand and all I get back is you saying you're not going to bother because I won't do anything. You're not even giving me a chance! How is that fair?

2011-03-23 [Mortified Penguin]: Shame on you, [windowframe].

2011-03-23 [kians mummy]: i came on here full of ideas on how to change elftown, i'm not going to give even one out until the staff on here justs stop mocking people all the time and start acting like staff should, this wiki is not for chit chat so can you take this to my wiki bored???

2011-03-23 [Thunder Cid]: *twitch*

If I may again. Let's remember that, though change is good in moderation, Elftown does have a pretty decent setup as far as admin work. Most of our bases are covered in each department. It is also important to remember that new members, even eager members, have to built their reputation gradually before being accepted to the crew (personal experience, I was the same way as you Sammie when I started. I really wanted to sink my teeth into this site and get the badges). Also remember that what you think of as "mocking" is nothing more that constructive criticism that should be used as reflection material. We have all had our moments when we felt like we were picked on by a crew member.

I sent you a list of relevantly simple ways to begin building your reputation and creditability here. My final piece of advice is to take everything you read with a grain of salt because if you are wanting to be a crew member you have to put up with 10 times more as well as keeping up with your responsibilities.

2011-04-24 [kians mummy]: if i was crew, i would change my ways, but i am not, and while i am not crew i won't change my ways but as soon as i am crew i will change my ways

2011-04-24 [Thunder Cid]: Why would you change if you were accepted? 

2011-04-24 [windowframe]: This requires blind faith on our part that you will change after we let you in Crew, Sammie, and if you're not prepared to make the effort to change your behaviour to show you CAN behave in the way crew are expected to behave, then why should we be prepared to blindly trust that you will change afterwards?

Sorry Stat. bosses. I figured you wouldn't mind me butting in since it's a general issue rather than a stat. issue.

2011-04-24 [Thunder Cid]: No worries.

2011-04-24 [hanhepi]: You out-rank us Silvie, so even if we did mind we couldn't mind. :P Plus, you made our point more clear.

2011-04-24 [kians mummy]: i would change because i would feel the need to, i admit i am a pain, as i go to all the wikis and ask if they need a hand, but as the old saying goes, "there is no harm in asking", and i ask because un-like some memebrs, i actually do want to help the crew as they do such a good job and i wish to do the same

2011-04-24 [windowframe]: And like I have explained, Sammie, that is not how we work, and it would be unfair of us to make an exception for anyone. We give privs and positions out after people have proven themselves, not before.

2011-04-24 [Thunder Cid]: I feel like this is getting pointless. If you would like to continue this conversation please move it to PM's so that people aren't getting flooded with comment updates.

2011-04-24 [hanhepi]: Until you can show us that you can behave professionally, you will never be in a professional job here. So hun, you are caught in a Catch 22.

2011-04-24 [hanhepi]: Where did i call you any names?

2011-04-24 [Thunder Cid]: Second warning. PM's please.

2011-04-24 [hanhepi]: Sorry Cid. I missed the first one. *moves to pm*

2011-04-25 [Mortified Penguin]: At this point, someone should just make a wiki like conversing with sammie h or something. It would certainly clear up a lot of clutter on official wikis and we could all have an organized discussion.

(inb4 third warning)

2011-08-10 [Thunder Cid]: Nope we're good thanks :)

2011-08-10 [Thunder Cid]: Awesome. Keep up the good work.

2011-10-24 [iippo]: Please refrain from commenting on official wikipages.

2011-10-24 [iippo]: No. We want to let people ask questions and make comments, but you are posting the same comment (that is not relevant to any of the pages) on every page. It's pretty much the same as spamming, except spamming with links it's spamming yourself. o.O

2011-10-25 [Teufelsweib]: you'd be even more helpful if you'd actually listen and stop spamming official pages. it's great to see that you're willing to help, but it's very annoying right now.

2021-05-07 [Mortified Penguin]: *spits a chewed wad of corn husk on the floor*

2021-05-07 [Mortified Penguin]: Speaking of spamming official pages, have you guys heard of Bob's Diner yet? We have great deals on gently used corn husks!

2021-05-07 [Mortified Penguin]: Also, gimme this dolphincorn badge.
