User talk:Kagimizu

--Kagimizu 14:49, 13 March 2009 (UTC)Kagimizu Alright, I'm just gonna get this out in the open and say that I just signed up yesterday, which for me would be March 12, 2009. Still, I typed my page in yesterday, and today I found it deleted. What's more, when I tried to make a new one, it was deleted before I had evenfinished typing. I've been reading this wiki for a while, and may be new here, but that shouldn't give anyone the right to delete my page. If it's about what I put on Talk:Naruto Uzumaki then fine, but delete that instead. Anyway, how do I keep it from being edited without my permission?

Userpage policy
A small tip before you make your next user page: read this: Narutopedia:Userpage policy. Jacce 15:02, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for that. I still have to figure some things on this wiki and it's protocals. Also, I have a question: I looked at past deletions, and noticed that a lot of them were by you. Is that your job (official or otherwise)? I also have to admit that-and don't take this the wrong way-before I read that policy bit, I thought you might have been a bit of a mysanthrope. Sorry.--Kagimizu 18:13, 13 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Jacce, TheUltimate3, and me are the admins for the wiki, so it's our collective job to handle policies. I'd strongly suggest you avoid putting any personal information on your userpage, it's a bad idea to go putting up personal info on the internet. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Mar 14, 2009 @ 10:02 (UTC)


 * Yeah I guess that's true. Just thought that this wiki prevented anything bad from being put on it. On a side note, how does someone become an admin? Also, do you know Jacce and TheUltimate3 personally? These questions are purely out of curiousity (don't want anything to be taken the wrong way).--Kagimizu 16:50, 14 March 2009 (UTC)


 * That's something I wouldn't bother thinking about. I founded the wiki, and whenever I see someone who understands the wiki's policies quite well and the wiki is in need of another admin I hand out a sysop flag. None of the people that became admin ever really asked for it. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Mar 15, 2009 @ 13:01 (UTC)

Are There Rankings?
I've read some stuff about users getting ranks like Special Jonin and Jonin. Is that stuff just nonsense, or is there something to it? And if so, what does it have to do with the Narutopedia?--Kagimizu 16:55, 15 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Stop starting with a space. Once we had ranks from Academy student to Jonin, but that has been removed since to many started to use the ranks as a competition. Jacce 17:00, 15 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I guess typing is different from writing. Still, that answers only 2/3 of my question. So, what did these ranks have to do with Narutopedia? Did a higher rank give them more privelages, or was it just a title?--Kagimizu 17:16, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry. I don't remember mutch of the privelages that the Narutopedia ranks had: Acedemy Students was IP numbers with some extra privelages, Special Jonins was rollback users, Jonins was admins/syops and the Kage was the bureaucrat. Jacce 19:18, 15 March 2009 (UTC)


 * The "ranks" were just some fun aliases I added aliasing MediaWiki permission flags to ninja ranks. Anon users were "Academy Students", normal users were "Genin", rollback were "Tokubetsu Jonin", sysops were "Jonin", and the bureaucrat flag was aliased to "Kage".
 * The original Narutopedia community was a little fanatic (but not troublesome like current fanatic users) so one of the things I did to make the wiki comfortable was shove a few ninja ranks into the internationalized system messages. I removed these because lately people have been gaming the system and trying to ask for a "higher rank" or whatever. It was just causing trouble because the "ranks" were nothing but fun aliases to permission flags, the flags have absolutely nothing to do with social status, and people were trying to turn contribution to the wiki into a big game. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Mar 15, 2009 @ 22:56 (UTC)


 * That's a good reason, because the goal of this wiki is to make it the best Naruto wiki we all can, not some ranking game. If people are gonna use it like that, then they don't respect this wiki. So, I say good riddance, I mean, you can't care about somethin' like that if you don't know or experience it, right? Thank for clearing that up!--Kagimizu 02:23, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
