This whole FF wiki is so boring to me.I don't care about the articles.People barely care about them and they're be forgetten.forums:There are just some people who needs help,Blah blah about a article or making thier own walkthrough where they have to get permission to make one.I personally don't care about making articles,walkthroughs or whatever because theres a big chance no one will give a rat's ass about it.Like ff2 articles.some ff charcters.What's the point?!Someone just tell me what the point in making articles or whatever?We got the real wiki for that. | |||
We are the real wiki. Wikipedia's policy only allows them to cover a portion of the information. It's our goal to compose a full and complete encyclopedia of Final Fantasy series information. The forums are an added bonus. Fun and useful (sometimes) but not the focus. | |||
HALLELUJIA! Testify OtO! | |||
Mr. Moogle, if you want the wiki to more "fun", then do something yourself. Don't wait around for others to entertain you. | |||
I do my best to make what would be an otherwise insufferable doldrums be a fun place to edit. If you do not enjoy yourself here, then leave. Its very simple. I won't blame you for it. If it became boring for me, I would leave as well. | |||
sorry, but wikis like this aren't always fun. Some of us (like me) choose to have fun by making and editing articles here...otherwise, "All play makes no work (or something like that o_O...)" | |||

YOU DON'T HAVE TO GET ANYONE'S PERMISSION TO WRITE A WALKTHROUGH. And stop waiting for me to do something. I do a lot for you guys and all you do is demand more? There's still so much more work to be done. | |||
No one here is waiting for you to anything. I'm semi-busy at Zeldapedia and the Pit entertains me enough. | |||

I'm getting really tired of these pointless forums where newbie users whine about not having people to talk to 24/7. Go to one of those other forums site where all they do is chat. If you want something to do, take my Quiz. | |||
Be glad we're not Wookieepedia. I read there policy and "What Wookieepedia is not" thing. It scared me. | |||
Pretty much everyone here is right Moogle, this place is not only a place for "fun" but for assisstance. The people who have been here longest knows what's best and CSM is right he does do a lot and so do a lot of other people. When I have questions or need suggestions or something I ask them and they help. My friend used to have an account and told me about this place and I actually used BH's walkthrough of FFX. This place's prime purpose is for assisstance and the "community" was something provided by our "leaders" to talk, befriend, and argue to other Final Fantasy Fans. So stop whining or I might actually think your more annoying than Tidus. | |||
Who are the Wiki Leaders? I didn't know anyone was in control. | |||
My bad, the admins and moderators. I guess I should've used authority figures instead of leaders? | |||
I actually believe that if it wasn't for the forums, I would probably be a mod (that's BS but it sound's good...). I had a lot of fun on the wiki by reading articles before knowing the forums (that to my friend Azul to show 'em to me ^^). | |||

@Moogle: Go Home. This place isn't about the forums, otherwise it would be called FFforums. It's not. This place is called FFwiki. Our job is to make a wiki and we only need the forums cause we're not writing machines. The IRC, the DNC, the Forums and the other stuff users make (Pit of sumthing and 8bit's awesome quiz) are just for us to have some fun while trying to make this as a nice FF encyclopedia and not a land of workaholic (don't know how to spell) nerds. Basically, if you don't want to work, fine, don't. But don't start a fucking topic saying that this place is boring and that it needs more fun. It's fun enough for most of the people. If you want to have fun write or keep on making your nice little templates of medals and such which don't bother other people. | |||
Look like i shaken the whole damn bee hive in here.Calm down,ladies.I don't want to make articles and shit like that.Although,the pit is very fun. | |||
You are all encouraging this damn topic i made,so if you disagree with me,don't encourage the topic by putting in opnion on how you disagree with my opinion.Just ignore.SHIT! | |||

Point whoever encourages this topic. If you don't care about the articles, don't go start discussions whining about how you feel bored around here! You can move yourself to the pit if you want, and let me tell you, it would be a relief for some users other than me! Articles aren't shit. People are working too hard on them for you to toss them into the toilet. If there's something with no value here it's this stupid topic which shouldn't even be discussed! I realized some time ago that this wiki is already fun enough for us to work. | |||
Still trying to keep this forum topic again,eh?Seriously through.You are annoying as fuck.Just keep on sounding like a broken record."Topic" "Pit" "Work" "Boring" | |||
you sound like... angered... I actually wouldn't expect a topic like this form you. and don't you think its funny to explore the marvels of the wiki coding??? I have just realized that most internet it's composed from wiki coding | |||

Okay, this is personal: You called me annoying as fuck? Fucking is anything but annoying, but I doubt you used the word on that sense. As far as I know, you're the only soul who doesn't work for this wiki. You're the only soul that spends his time making asshole jokes and useless medals. You're the only soul that whines about how boring this wiki is, though being the one with less morale to do it. I'm sorry if I try to make this encyclopedia bigger and try to make that people feel inspired to work - anyway, there is no way to inspire you to do so, so I might as well as shut up right now. | |||
FUCKING A!Santa is coming in town!He going to shut up!By the way,What is the hell with all of your rants?Could you just make articles and just do what i will never do.Like not have a life,do quizs and tests,rant about Final fantasy tatics or something?Thanks,toots! | |||
Both of you stop. NOW. If any more f-bombs are thrown at each other, tests will be given. Especially to you Moogle. | |||
I'll throw tests at both Moogle, and Henry if any of you two are dumb enough to say another thing on this topic. Walk away, both of you. | |||
MoogleKupo, If you don't wanna edit pages and don't wanna help out, you could go here and create threads instead of angering people who actually want to help this thriving wiki out. | |||
No more whining[]

I think I'm going to put up a "no whining about being entertained" policy at some point. Does anyone else agree that this is what should be done? | |||
Oppose. People have a right to bitch. However we also have a right to bitch about them bitching. | |||
Agree. If they want entertainment, make it themselves. | |||
You (CSM) once told me: this is a wiki, with free expressions, you can't stop other people express themselves. not with those exact words but that was the point | |||
Well,some people whine about how a ff game is hard to beat,charcters are sucky,e.t.c,so don't let my opnion of this wiki get in the way. | |||

Yeah, but if people are gonna come here expecting me to be their mommy, they're very much mistaken. I have a lot of problems in life. If you want something to happen, make it happen. | |||
i like the way you think.A fresh breath of air | |||
Mommy Crazyswords, will you tuck me in tonight? I want you to read me a bed-time story. | |||
Mummy! BH burnt me and my toys and then pied on me! Give me a kiss -_- | |||
oops I don't like how this is going...o~0 | |||
make it so, make it something like this "Whosoever whines\complains\bitches about this wiki being boring is going to get a test2 for first offense, test3 for third, whatever the last warning template is, then a five minute ban, then increase it a hour for every next offense starting at 2 hours, or maybe three if their a whinny $%&#@." How's that? or at least something similar. | |||
That's actually pretty intelligent! I like your idea Cod! | |||
I think it's a good idea, just way too harsh. | |||
I agree with this idea. With this new policy we can teach the newer users that this wiki isn't all fun and games... | |||
Hexedmagica - Rathalos: World Tour/All Ass Sword TALK - My companions' feelings have been etched upon this body. I'll change this eternal darkness into light! Heaven and Earth! One who matches the gods! CHOUGINGA GURREN-LAGANN! {{{time}}} | |||
Agreed, been due for ages. | |||
Agreed, but it does seem a bit too harsh. I suggest that it be included in the guide, welcoming banner and the story of FF wiki. Perhaps using test1 would be better, or suggesting that they join FFforum. By the way, I disagree with the thought that this wiki isn't "fun". Or Wikipedia. Then again, I'm the kind of person who derives pleasure from lining up pencils in the right order and memorising Latin sayings. Not to mention that we do have users who mostly edit the forums like TSD through her own admission | |||
TheSwordofDoubt - Xemnas may not be eternal, but his speeches definitely are. TALK - Nanoha ain't called "The White Devil" for no reason. | |||
I agree with the banning idea. Even though I enjoy remembering random dates and riddles and being ten different people at the same time. Oh, and freaking most people out with my random thoughts and speeches. I never found this wiki boring. There's activity practically 24/7 with so many people from all the time zones. It's on. All the time. | |||
TSD, you are my feminine side =) | |||
I agree with Highwind. While whining is annoying beyond belief, it should not be made a banable offense, regardless of what it is about. Don't overthink this, just keep it simple. If someone says this is a boring place, give them a link to the main wikia or google and tell them to go and search for something that would interest them (in a respectful tone). Then, contact an admin active in that timeframe and have them lock the thread (sysop-level protection), so it doesn't turn into a flame thread or a whine-fest. Done deal, and everyone is happy. | |||
Except me, since I cannot stand the fact that there are some pages that I can't edit. I'm on the Wiki Staff, dammit! | |||
someone do a test run | |||
End Game - Proud to be a Vandal! | |
Talk - Little kiddies writing video game walkthroughs have the nerve to tell me to get a life? | |
Eh. I've been avoiding getting my toes in this topic, just to keep my filthy name clean, but I'd like to remind some of you who seem to have forgotten just how effective bans are against people looking to create their own entertainment.
As well, a five-minute block? That would hardly be noticed, especially if the person was not focusing exclusively on this single wiki (example for reference: when I was having my fun here, I was usually watching TV or working with some code, so a few minutes would have barely been noticeable). Even having a ban for a few hours is not all that much, even for those who don't have a small army of tor exits available to them. I actually have to disagree with the banning for complaining entirely. Instead, just create a new "test" banner, and make it clear about what is going on with everything. Furthermore, simply saying "this place isn't too entertaining/active/whatever" really isn't all that much to get upset over; there are times when the wiki is a dull place. Sure, if a person is being disruptive or verbally abusive (as was the case with this topic) action needs to be taken, but really, flat-out banning for it? Short times are pointless, and long times are overkill. Give people a special test warning when they are being disruptive over this sort of thing (and is this the first incident? I don't recall seeing any more like this in recent memory). If they continue after that, give them a block for a day, and from there out, let it be progressively worse, if the mods or admin care. Five-minute blocks... *laughs* |
if we can't rant about this or or final fantasy or related topics,can we rant about other things that has nothing to do with ff in that off topic forum thingy? | |||
I can't believe I'm saying this, but EndGame might be on to something. I think a "no whining" or "this wiki isn't here to entertain you" test is a good idea. | |||
Or we could take the mature road and just ignore them. | |||
End Game - Proud to be a Vandal! | |
Talk - Little kiddies writing video game walkthroughs have the nerve to tell me to get a life? | |
And how well would that work?
If the person truly does not realize their complaints are a nuisance, then they need to be told or they will continue. If they simply want attention, they would be doing far worse than whining. |
Dude, just have fun that's all, if you can't do that then why the hell make yourself a damn account to begin with? The thing is, is to have fun and chill (i guess) and make freinds here too. Quit moaning and bitching and have fun, otherwise stop coming here ranting/spaming with this conflict. | |||
We'll have to change the Rin's Travel Agency banner then, I suppose. It does say we can complain about anything we want. Although "you may complain about anything except about the wiki being boring" seems a bit too wordy ^-^. | |||
DrakemasterDrake - "I would rather live a short life of glory than a long one of obscurity." TALK - {{{time}}} The clock on this site is so messed up, why bother? | |||
I'll solve the problem: People who are bored, look through some of the older threads at Rin's, there are some that are quite entertaining, and you could always start one up again. Or, just think of something to start a conversation with. Not everyone is here all the time, there are people who have things to do, people have girlfriends, boyfriends, brothers, sisters, parents, and most of the users here are still in some sort of school. People who have a problem with people who are bored: Don't say anything anymore. Place a link to a similar topic (like this one) then forget about it. Done. Drake fixed another problem. You'd think I'd rule the world by now, eh? | |||
I already doing stuff.i filled up the jackass tourney and probably do some more stuff.It's just do it at a time,not the WHOLE at one time.So,i'll help too. | |||
