This statement is only regarding that 8chan thread. It seems that Masem and others are colluding with 8chan to push certain sources. True to my word on the talkpage for GamerGate, I don't really go to 8chan, save for one board, so this is news to me. I thought that Masem was pushing WP:NPOV, but that thread is indicative of otherwise. --DSA510 Pls No Hate 05:34, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
- Ignore that, I was thinking out loud. --DSA510 Pls No Hate 05:52, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
@Masem, I apologize, I'm always paranoid and that thread didn't help. Looking at it again, they're simply praising you for being NPOV. I extend my deepest apologies to you. --DSA510 Pls No Hate 06:01, 10 November 2014 (UTC) Alright, time for my speech. I didn't want to start off my WikiCareer this way. However, I'm easily drawn to conflict. This is probably going to be my last statement about the article for now. It's pointless to argue about it until the "RS" start actually reporting info. What's happening right now is one of two things. 1. They just copypaste from gawker, or 2. they go in uninformed and latch on to the popular opinion. Note the word opinion. It was interesting to argue about this, but it's getting into the same thing again and again, and frankly, until someone bans all the users, and unbans Willy on Wheels, there seems to be no end in sight. There are 13, THIRTEEN damned archives of the talkpage. Anyways, I'm taking a break from this, since I still want to edit KDE stuff. But before I go, someone compiled a list of links from that first 8chan thread, which I haven't really looked over, but here, Funcooker.txt. Basically, this has gotten boring, since its always the usual suspects.--DSA510 Pls No Hate 10:14, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
@Cs california: for background, 8chan is an imageboard with similarities to both 4chan and reddit. The thread style is the same as 4chan, however anyone can create a topic specific board (I'm tempted to make /wiki/). The threads in question are doing 2 things, mainly. 1. the users are trying to find various neutral or pro-gamergate articles for use as sources on the article. 2. they are trying to find collusion between the 5 users and/or various admins, however, some people are going to sites other than Wikipedia for proof. --DSA510 Pls No Hate 19:05, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
@NorthBySouthBaranof: I've read the threads at least 20 times now. The user who posted ryulong's email was repeatedly reported, and that user deleted their own post. Not only that, they've decided to not look at anything other than Wikipedia history, and find links suitable as sources. All in all, cherries are ruined forever for me. It seems that you cherrypicked one or two posts from the threads in question. If there truly is no collusion, why are you so concerned? --DSA510 Pls No Hate 19:36, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
In the interest of neutrality, a new thread has popped up, as one of my contacts notified me. If you're interested. Before cries of soggyknees and such appear, in the original post itself, its saying to look only at wikilinks. --DSA510 Pls No H8 06:19, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
@Newyorkbrad: It seems the threads have turned into digging for diffs on the wiki itself. While some are looking at twitter, the focus has shifted mainly to Wikipedia itself. The diffs are public content. Think of it this way, who watches the watchers? --DSA510 Pls No H8 18:15, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
@Pudeo: The actions of multiple admins have been very odd recently. Perhaps you might want to look into that for other involved admins, with the noticeable exception of Masem, who seems to be the only admin trying to follow Wikipedia Policies. --DSA510 Pls No H8 15:51, 14 November 2014 (UTC)
