no longer responsible for wiki
i wrote the entire wiki 'mining' page. however i am now locked out of the wiki and cannot edit. i was pretty sure this would happen anyways, since the wiki was never a 'real wiki' and the server admins never believed in the democratic ideals of wiki.
anyways someone has put in a 'K/s' unit on the 'heat' of the mining beams. anyone who passed high school physics would know this is incredibly incorrect. however it is not my problem anymore since i got banned off the wiki.
however i will continue to refuse to take s@#$ and will continue to speak my mind. maybe i go over the top at times, but on the other hand i am sometimes the only person saying things that need to be said when everyone else is sitting on their hands.

Well, uh, you seem to be offering a lot of evidence that this was entirely not your fault, and yet none at all on why you were banned from editing in the first place! Care to share both sides of the situation so that we may be able to judge it more accurately?
It's not just you ananzi I lost my editing abilties too. Maybe they disabled them for everybody.
Geez, you people could try reading the editor's page...

Attention thingy
We have a new wiki page, which is why editing, should be, disabled. It can be found not here.

What is this new wiki? Will the current one still be used? Or are you guys staring a new one.
The old wiki was meant to be a list of the ships, a navigable FAQ and glossary. Which it is, but more. Basically, it out grew what I intended it to be. We are currently moving everything over to the new wiki which is running off of mediawiki (which powers wikipedia). MediaWiki has many more features for pages, but the syntax is quite different, so transferring is gonna take some time.
Which brings us to why the old wiki has editing disabled. The editing is disabled because I'd rather have the new wiki being brought up to date. The current editors can view the editor page in the old wiki and find the link. All the old editors will receive sysop privileges which means they can move, delete, and protect pages, and ban users.
As for banning, I would not ban anyone from editing for any actions not involving the wiki. If you go start a flame war in the forums, that thread would get locked/deleted. If that flame war carries over to the wiki, then yes, banning would be a possibility. No single person is banned from the wiki, everyone can't edit, except wonderful me.
When the new wiki is done i'll attempt to use my horrible html abilities to make the old wiki redirect you to the new wiki.

I've got a wonderful idea. It involves ananzi not posting until he's actually thought things over, and done a little more investigation than say "OMG I CNAT EDIT!!!!1!!"
Seriously dude, you're always making pointless posts that anger and/or annoy nearly everyone, when you could make an attempt to cool down first, actually try to figure something out, or apply common sense to a situation. Threads like your "suggestion" about how you're too lazy to get to combat level 8, or the "bug" that somehow causes only you to lag 300+ms for periods of time, are just unneeded. If there's actually a real problem, please, by all means, once you've cooled down and have actually thought something over, also considering the fact that not everyone out there is trying to get you, by all means, please post a thread about it. Otherwise, sit down, for more than 20 seconds, and chill, think, and then chill some more. Thanks...

Don't you think you ask a bit too much now, AlienB?
Spider: Alienb is being reasonable, compared to some of the other solutions we've come up with in IRC.
ananzi: Stuff it and stop being so paranoid. The world isn't out to get you.
Yet.

situation resolved! ka-lock
Yes, locked. Try to be more kind would you alienb? But you're off the hook since you're not entirely wrong (and some agree with you).
Problems explained, points made, etc. etc.
Locked!
