2005-07-13 [Like Sun Through The Rain]: Um I have a question is there any sertian way a member of ET can become a Patroller

2005-07-13 [Ihsahn]: read the badge reward system

2005-07-13 [Ihsahn]: ok its past 7 Pm.........................

2005-07-13 [Ultiem]: its time

2005-07-13 [Ihsahn]: I know

2005-07-13 [True, plain and simple]: Noooo! No more! I just cleared the queue of all remaining ASCII image reports. x_x :P

2005-07-13 [Ihsahn]: so stop reporting?

2005-07-13 [True, plain and simple]: No, you can continue if you want..But I don't feel compelled to do them if they aren't staring me in the face, and the last lot took four hours..So no hurry.

2005-07-13 [Ihsahn]: >:D

2005-07-13 [shotokan_gal]: *blinks at the reporting frenzy* Gee am I the only one who doesn't go out actively searching things to report and counting the minutes until a rule comes into effect around here?

2005-07-13 [Ultiem]: i dunno, that kind of thing makes guards mad, that we do that...i dont know why though it get the job done

2005-07-13 [shotokan_gal]: Fair enough. Oh and there was something I was meaning to ask, but only remembered just now. Under elftown graphics there's some ASCII - e.g. EGD Hands. Is this still going to be allowed? Could see it getting confusing in people's reporting. (Or do they count as the small, non-annoying ones anyway?)

2005-07-13 [Ultiem]: those are all on one image and seem to be ET donated... the ones that are text are the ones reportable i think

2005-07-13 [shotokan_gal]: Well I realise they're et donated, I just wondered if they were going to be taken off now, or still allowed. As they look exactly like some of the reportable images (apart from the colour). It was more a question aimed at someone who definitely knows though, but thanks :)

2005-07-13 [Stratakus]: They will be allowed because they count as a Graphic instead of an ASCII. You'll notice there aren't any huge ones that span an entire screen of a naked woman or the weed leaves or the slipknot symbols.

2005-07-13 [Stratakus]: It's kind of like the playboy bunnies made for the ET Graphics, when the official Bunnies wouldn't be allowed. Graphics like that made for people who want the image without breaking the rules in doing so.

2005-07-13 [Ultiem]: dont forget the huge bats you cant forget the bats (corny bats)

2005-07-13 [Dark Angel]: or swords - you can really hunt for these images!

2005-07-13 [Stratakus]: Bats, Smiley Faces, Stewie, Rose, Heart. did I miss any?

2005-07-13 [Stratakus]: I havnt' bothered reporting any ASCII yet. I've warned some people and they removed them themselves

2005-07-13 [Ultiem]: [Ihsahn] doesnt bother with warning,

2005-07-13 [Dark Angel]: i guess the most don't know about the changes. Many do not read the main street news...

2005-07-13 [Stratakus]: I'm guilty of that but I occasionally read back to catch up. I mostly just log in to check messages and forums and then I've got school for the rest of it.

2005-07-13 [Ultiem]: they dont read bios either lol

2005-07-13 [Stratakus]: Not many Bios have anything worth reading. To many people think this is some sort of Photobucket or Cybersex Cafe or something completly not expected in a place called ELFtown

2005-07-13 [Ultiem]: shuffle the cybering to elfpack, you know, elfpack has better cyber controll than elftown. shouldnt they prohibit under age cybering? they did that on EP

2005-07-13 [Stratakus]: How do they control message flow?

2005-07-13 [Ultiem]: not the message flow, the under age cybering in public accessable wikis

2005-07-13 [Dark Angel]: mhm... would it be possible to send such news with messages? A kind of system message like the birthday messages - just that everybody gets it. Would that be possible or too much work?

2005-07-13 [NamelessMerc]: Well what makes a good bio then? I'm sorry to say that mine is rather plain.

2005-07-13 [Ultiem]: something that talks about you makes a wonderful bio not your measurements

2005-07-13 [Stratakus]: Bad bios are easier to describe than good ones. Bad Bios are the ones that are a mile long of just song lyics,k wiki banners for the hundred wiki's a person is a member of, a bunch of pictures of random people, listing all your ET friends in your house when the Relations List is the place for that, doing multiple 50 question surveys and piling all of that into one house.

2005-07-13 [NamelessMerc]: Ah hah, well I don't think I've done any of that. Oh well, I suppose I'll survive.

2005-07-13 [Stratakus]: Nah yours isn't annoying. It loaded within second and I scrolled down it in no time and it actually had information about you. So many descriptionss lack anything that actually has to do with the house owner.

2005-07-13 [Ultiem]: mine has 2 wiki banners, one i enforce and one i built and maintained, 3 questions to answer all of them, and my bio

2005-07-13 [NamelessMerc]: Well I do my best with my house, unlike my real bedroom I like my house to be neat so people can find what they want. When I get around to starting up my wiki I'll have the banner up in my house, but the one from Brave Kingdom is the only real advertisement so far.

2005-07-13 [Stratakus]: My room is so messy I couldn't find my text books which were burried under my cloths. I don't know how I lost 3 4 inch thick text books and a binder that's 3 inches thick with notes, a laundry bag with my massage linnens and towels. Hell, It takes me 7 rings to find the phone. My bedroom looks likethe opposite of my House.

2005-07-13 [NamelessMerc]: Yeah, after reading all the way through your house (and the golden un-awards) it seems a little weird you'd lose those. Then again I lost my mobile phone under a stack of old clothes, Raymond E. Feist novels and my LOTR DVDs. Twice in the same week. Hehe.

2005-07-13 [shotokan_gal]: Ok thanks for the info [Stratakus] :) though the comment I mean's on the previous page now... we're chatty today people.

2005-07-13 [Ihsahn]: meh how interesting shows how much [Ultiem] reall doesn't know about me.... I do warn other members, if I get a good feeling from them

2005-07-18 [how random]: id like to be a patroller, but i always feel like a snitch or a sucker if i think they need reporting, when its just violating uploading art rules.

2005-07-18 [Stratakus]: "Just"? Violating the rules is pretty much the main report type to be made around here.

2005-07-18 [Ihsahn]: careful strat we have a tricky one.......

2005-07-18 [Morrigon]: If there weren't people "just" reporting the uploading art rules, we'd be swamped with art thieves, random moving images as well as non moving ones. It would get messy and wierd that's all I have to say about that hah >.< Im a dork.

2005-07-18 [Morrigon]: And I get a lot of messages where the people sounds really hyped up. They're not harassing or anything, though sometimes I get annoyed with them. But their messages have exclamation points at the end of each sentence. I keep thinking what it would sound like in real life. you could have them arrested for public disturbance :P scary

2005-07-18 [Ihsahn]: I despise art theifs though.................

2005-07-18 [Morrigon]: same here.

2005-07-18 [Stratakus]: The worse being the ones that put up an image that alot of people have already seen all over the place. I once found a guy saying he had drawn a #D image of an Angel. it was an Arch Angel from "Heros of Might And Magic 3". Even added "It took me a month to draw the sword!"

2005-07-18 [Ihsahn]: the worst I have seen is a picture that was abviously from a sire........

2005-07-18 [Ultiem]: i hate it when people ignore the warnings saying that they are going to be happily reported if they steal it

2005-07-19 [djxmonster]: PLEASE: Do NOT report members for ASCII violations if they are already banned!

2005-07-19 [Ihsahn]: as you wish

2005-07-19 [Malnu]: Well that would eliminate the images from all houses, including those on banned houses, and those houses that haven't been visited in forever. If you don't want them, claim them to me, but I think they should still be reported so they can be removed. At least claim them to me until September. I'll be gone for over a year after the month of September.

2005-07-19 [djxmonster]: ok :) Gah... A whole year?!

2005-07-19 [Sunrose]: :(

2005-07-19 [shotokan_gal]: A year? Wow...

2005-07-28 [Ultiem]: welcome [FINALLY LEFT THIS PLACE]

2005-07-28 [FINALLY LEFT THIS PLACE]: WOooohOHOooo thank you, thank you very much!

2005-07-28 [TheRogue]: Helping [Lerune] with the badging. Got some more coming later when I get a chance.

2005-07-28 [Akurei_Kitsune]: Well I finally made it to the Patrollers list. Hopefully I can be of some help. ^^;

2005-07-28 [nokaredes]: *Glee*

2005-07-28 [Ultiem]: you have been help if you made it here :D

2005-07-28 [Akurei_Kitsune]: Heheh. ^^; Guess you are right. =D

2005-07-28 [zepher]: *dances* i`m a new patroller ^_^

2005-07-28 [shotokan_gal]: oooohhhh that's a lot of new people

2005-07-28 [Dark Angel]: I can dance with you! *start to dance* Hopefully we'll a good help for the guards!

2005-07-28 [cacophony]: Alrighty, folks, who do I contact on here to have someone handle a friend's stalker problem?

2005-07-28 [zepher]: the friend has to report the person him/her self

2005-07-28 [zepher]: let him/her use the report to the guards button on top

2005-07-28 [Lothuriel]: Or your friend could block the idiot and ignore him/her/shem entirley.

2005-07-28 [cacophony]: alright, thankee kindly

2005-07-28 [werethylacine]: Thanks muchly to whoever (whomever?) decided to let me join the ranks of patrollers. ^_^

2005-07-28 [Lerune]: Congratulations to a bunch of new Patrollers! ^_^ We thank you and keep up the good work. =o)

2005-07-28 [Charybdis]: Thank you, I'll be sure to! ^_^

2005-07-28 [Jay Ladlehaus]: ditto

2005-07-28 [Paul Doyle]: *high-fives the rest of the TEAM!* ^_^

2005-07-28 [shotokan_gal]: Congrats everyone, there'll be nothing left to patrol (patrolle? hmm...) at this rate... hehe (which would of course be a good thing)

2005-07-28 [Ihsahn]: I will steal pants

2005-07-28 [hanhepi]: holy shit, they made me a patroller. as if making me council didnt prove they were crazy....

2005-07-28 [Charybdis]: Crazy? Then that kind of crazy is good; you deserve it ^^ // omg pant-stealer! :O *guards her jeans closely*

2005-07-28 [Paul Doyle]: *sees his pants are gone* Ah, no wonder why it felt breezy all of a sudden. At first I thought I put too many beans in the chili recipe . . .

2005-07-28 [Ihsahn]: *runs off with every ones pants*

2005-07-28 [Charybdis]: O_o Is this some kind of strange Patroller initiation ritual I wasn't aware of? *hides in a cardboard box*

2005-07-28 [Ihsahn]: *makes a carpet out of it* hey have you been invited to the forums?

2005-07-28 [Sunrose]: Omg you people talk too much non-related things :)

2005-07-28 [Charybdis]: Apparently not, if there was a forum to be invited to :P Lerune may have been too busy to, if that's the case. *eyes the carpet thoughtfully* How did you do that?

2005-07-28 [Ihsahn]: I will send invites then

2005-07-28 [Sunrose]: There is a patrollers forum yaa ;)

2005-07-28 [Charybdis]: ^^;;; Great, thanks!

2005-07-28 [nokaredes]: Really? >_>

2005-07-28 [Ihsahn]: the guards are probably busy so I will do it

2005-07-29 [Ihsahn]: all invites have been sent :)

2005-07-29 [nokaredes]: Thank you Ihsahn! :D I was beginning to wonder if there was a forum x_x

2005-07-29 [Ihsahn]: no problem ;) just helping out

2005-08-02 [shotokan_gal]: Retired patroller? Eh?

2005-08-02 [Kaimee]: Read your forum :P [304458 (Unknown or private posting)]

2005-08-02 [shotokan_gal]: Oops, sorry. Had to rush out before I could check on all updates. *thinks she's watching too many wikis*

2005-08-24 [hanhepi]: [Jay Ladlehaus] is listed as both a patroller and a guard.

2005-08-24 [Sunrose]: *fixes* thanks ^^

2005-08-24 [Lerune]: *pretends like she didn't forget to remove that* >.>

2005-08-24 [True, plain and simple]: -pretends too-

2005-08-26 [Malnu]: Slackers....  =P

2005-08-26 [Morrigon]: hee hee

2005-09-04 [Lerune]: Congratulations to our new Master Patrollers. ^^

2005-09-04 [Dark Angel]: congrats from me too!

2005-09-04 [Ultiem]: master patrolling starting to become a family business i noticed

2005-09-04 [stuffAEAmade]: Coolness. Congrats new MP's. :)

2005-09-04 [Paul Doyle]: Thanks ^_^

2005-09-04 [Ultiem]: hey paul congrats on your assension :D

2005-09-04 [Fizban]: *claps*

2005-09-04 [Paul Doyle]: Thanks :3 I will continue trying to do my best.

2005-09-05 [threelade]: Thanks all and thanks Ultiem.

2005-09-05 [Ultiem]: welcome..as said by another congrats and welcome to the marines of patrollers

2005-09-05 [LadyMoon]: Oh I feel rude now >>; Thank you all =D

2005-10-02 [Sunrose]: Forumprotected the page, because of the previous random editing :)

2005-10-02 [Sunrose]: Anyone recognise [Mikolan]?

2005-10-03 [hanhepi]: ehhh... doesnt that make it hard for people to see the wiki if they arenot in the forum? how come it wasn't a password protected page? and did they actually mess with anything cause i didn't see anything different when i clicked view diff...

2005-10-03 [Sunrose]: No I meant only forummembers can edit it now, which is far more useful than a password. And no nothing was edited, but it wasted my time clicking the link and finding someone strange doing nothing usefull ;)

2005-10-03 [hanhepi]: oh! so the average ETer can still see the page? i need to read up on forum protecting wikis. :/

2005-10-03 [Sunrose]: Yes, this wiki is protected so only forummembers can edit it, but everyone can still see it :) There are several ways to forumprotect a wiki ;)

2005-10-03 [hanhepi]: ehh.. is there a help page on it?

2005-10-03 [Sunrose]: CNETG9: Locking wikis/Creating private wikis

2005-10-03 [hanhepi]: awesomeness. thanks. :)

2005-10-07 [Ihsahn]: how interesting this place is, long time to have been in here, I am on pass, ruck marches suck.....

2005-10-10 [Dr. Octogator]: How do I become a "Patroller"?

2005-10-10 [Calico Tiger]: Read at the top of the page. It tells you :)

2005-10-12 [NightTheOwl]: So about how many reports do I have to make ?

2005-10-12 [Paul Doyle]: Well, there is no set amount. (Someone please correct me, if need be?) I have written more than 500, though I don't have access to the exact number. Make good reports, report them with some regularity and some consistency . . . and hey, who knows? If you have patience, a cooperative "teamwork" attitude and some persistence, that may also bode well :-)

2005-10-12 [Calico Tiger]: Remember, you must follow the Uploading Art Rules as well :) And a sheer number of reports won't do it. They have to be correct reports and generally we appreciate it when they're well-written as well. Not just a report in someone's house that says "vilating teh rools" without any indication of what rules, what image, how it violates the rules, and so on :)

2005-10-12 [Morrigon]: Darn, I think I'll just start sending reports in riddles and see if the guards can figure it out. I'm getting more practice with reporting art since I'm training on Elfwood as a moderator. yay

2005-10-12 [Angel of Ice]: *laughs* riddles? That'd be interesting to see.

2005-10-12 [Paul Doyle]: Make it more interesting---depending on the length of the given report, write it in haiku form, or in Shakespearean sonnet form, complete with iambic pentameter :B

2005-10-12 [Angel of Ice]: *laughs even more* I'd hate to be the guard to recieve one of those.

2005-10-12 [Leara]: Sending reports is serious, don't waste our time with 'riddles', with the number of reports we recieve, we don't have time for members to play games using the report feature.

2005-10-13 [Lothuriel]: I hardly think Paul is serious.

2005-10-13 [Paul Doyle]: Not enough time to formulate them in iambic pentameter, anyhow ;-)

2005-10-13 [Lothuriel]: *wink wink say no more say no more*

2005-10-13 [Paul Doyle]: Are you insinuating something? (Other than more random chat to annoy the Guards? :P)

2005-10-13 [Lothuriel]: Once again, quoting Monty Python. Why would I want to annoy the guards?

2005-10-13 [Paul Doyle]: OK, so you'll just annoy that Rastafarian-looking "God" peering through the clouds in Monty Python and the Holy Grail ;-)

2005-10-13 [Lothuriel]: LOL

2005-10-13 [The Scarlet Pumpernickle]: SAY NO MORE!

2005-10-13 [Morrigon]: wow...to be a guard you should have a sense of humor Leara. no offense but people were kidding.

2005-10-13 [Jay Ladlehaus]: As with Daily Poem Bosses dealing with the number of missubmited poems...if you wade through enough bad reports and idiots (see The Banished), you start to lose your sense of humor and patience regarding guard related business. I'm sure [Leara] has a fine sense of humor otherwise.

2005-10-13 [Sunrose]: [Morrigon], some people take these jokes seriously and that doesn't help the quality of reports :)

2005-10-13 [Morrigon]: heh okay

2005-10-13 [Leara]: This is an official wiki decides, diffinitly not the place to make such jokes.

2005-10-13 [Sunrose]: On another note; if anyone reports a Doll-image, you can put it under 'Random/Stolen/Celebrity' instead of 'Other'. Thankies :)

2005-10-13 [Angel of Ice]: That's good to know about the doll images.

2005-10-26 [Sunrose]: If anyone is patrolling, I already went through 164200 - 164430, the new members and the online members. I am sure I've missed some though. But to prevent double work tonight there are more chances of finding things below 164200 ;)

2005-10-26 [Jay Ladlehaus]: damn, you're hardworking lady!

2005-10-26 [Sunrose]: Yes, follow my example... *hypno's* @.@

2005-10-26 [Jay Ladlehaus]: Stop, you're going to make me puke on my keyboard ;P

2005-10-26 [Sunrose]: oooh that is...intriguing.. why? :p

2005-10-26 [Paul Doyle]: I'll work on my daily quota of 5-10 in a few hours ;-)

2005-10-26 [Jay Ladlehaus]: spinning watches make me dizzy :P

2005-10-27 [Lothuriel]: Good Lord, [Sunrose]!! I thought I was doing well for 10 per night..*faints*

2005-10-27 [Paul Doyle]: Correction: Daily quota of 5-10 reports. Hitting that "ranom member" button, even if it makes me land on someone I've blocked :P

2005-10-27 [Sunrose]: I was bored Loth =P

2005-12-05 [joeboy]: how can i be part of the council

2005-12-05 [shotokan_gal]: Well, firstly, it would help if you follow the uploading art rules.

2005-12-19 [David the Good]: You do get around dont you lol. Besides the statment above mine how would one become a "Patroller"?

2005-12-19 [shotokan_gal]: It says so on this page, just below the badges. Basically, people are appointed to patrollers if they've made a lot of good reports on other members, and follow the rules themselves.

2005-12-19 [David the Good]: Hmmmmmm...

2005-12-19 [Ultiem]: its good to surprise guards on a case by case basis too

2005-12-19 [David the Good]: What do you mean?

2005-12-19 [Ultiem]: mass help or nobody messing up on ET for a day lol

2005-12-19 [David the Good]: ahhh ture

2005-12-19 [Sunrose]: I just killed ASCII-Stewie 135 times, wh00t! The Stewie-massacre :p

2005-12-19 [shotokan_gal]: o_O

2005-12-19 [Sunrose]: Once I began, I had to finish it :P

2005-12-19 [shotokan_gal]: Of course :P

2005-12-19 [Ultiem]: YES!!!! the digital bloodshed lol ^_^

2005-12-19 [The Scarlet Pumpernickle]: nice

2005-12-20 [Fizban]: wowsers...go sunrose, kicking arse and taking names...

2005-12-20 [Paul Doyle]: Someone's gonna get more Hatters, and not of the Cavia porcellus variety ;-)

2005-12-20 [Sunrose]: lol, as long as they don't start stealing my stuff! :O

2006-01-09 [Paul Doyle]: Wow, congratulations to [Skydancer] ! :-)

2006-01-15 [Dark Angel]: Hi! I have a question about the uar. well, the memebers are not allowed to uplaode extreme violence images, but now I have a problem with the definition of 'extreme violence'. What is about guns, bullets, war images (e.p. tanks)? Are these images still okay or already breaking the rules?

2006-01-15 [True, plain and simple]: Extreme violence tends to deal with excessive mutilation of living things in this case. Drawing things that relate to war is OK, though. A tank isn't violent by itself..Now, if its shell was blowing off a soldier's head, it would be different.

2006-01-15 [Dark Angel]: and photos?

2006-01-15 [True, plain and simple]: It depends, and of course they would have had to be taken by you.

2006-01-15 [Dark Angel]: So for example it would be okay to come up with a photo holding a gun, just showing, not aiming.

2006-01-16 [dragonflye]: Yes that would be fine. Basically, if you're killing something or if there is a lot of blood, anything of that general nature, it isn't allowed.

2006-01-19 [Dark Angel]: Thanks a lot, that will help!

2006-01-19 [Calico Tiger]: Thanks, Sunrose :) Was trying to figure out how to get it smaller without it losing transparency :-/ And forgot to credit Keyshika x_x

2006-01-19 [Calico Tiger]: Then again, I like it full size. You get to see the details in the feathers!

2006-01-19 [Sunrose]: No problem ^^ I think full size is OK too :)    ps. if you want it smaller and transparant, write the width and then add '! uQt!' in the url after '<img:' ;)

2006-01-20 [Fizban]: Hey lols,..*randomly* that is a cool pic loyl ^^__^^.

2006-01-20 [Paul Doyle]: Hail [Levoton] . . . she has quite a talented family there . . . I wonder if there's any more from the same clan with a definite artistic bent? ^_^

2006-01-21 [Jewl]: hmm..

2006-01-23 [TErM_11]: I WANNA BE A PATROLER!!!

2006-01-23 [stuffAEAmade]: Make good reports

2006-01-23 [TErM_11]: awww for real so i gotta report people>>>

2006-01-23 [stuffAEAmade]: Of course you do. You can't get the badge without doing the work.

2006-01-23 [Morrigon]: heh heh

2006-01-23 [Jewl]: apparently I'm on my way... =p
