Pedophile

There is a pedophile at work in your wiki, I have already questioned him and it is clear to me that he is promoting perversion. One of the last things he did is change the category of pederasty into child love. Could someone check on his work and reverse the propaganda aimed at normalizing child sexual abuse? His name is User:Leucosticte. P.S. I think it is very disturbing that this wiki would allow a child molesters to set his own rules, that you want to be inclusive and add all wiki's, I do understand, but you shouldn't allow child molesters to decide how a topic is presented. --198.180.167.4 23:17, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

Perhaps the users who have objections could try to actually edit constructively and dialog rather than removing information and even template parameters such as URLs? If people want to have a discussion about what censorship, if any, should go on here, it seems like there's a more constructive way than how it's been done so far (which has even included removing other users' talk page comments, making comments such as "piss off", etc.)
Some of the new users may be used to RationalWiki's norms. That site is dedicated to a leftist bias and has an anything-goes mobocratic culture in which civility is discouraged and rules are applied haphazardly, if at all. I think things work differently here. It's definitely not civil to go around calling other users child molestors because of their views, or even because of their desires; that would be like calling a gay rights activist or gay person a homosexual rapist.
The terminological problems have already been pointed out, in that "boylove" and "pederasty" are not synonymous. There is a difference between love and a sexual act. I don't mind if you leave your preferred version of the articles (minus the URL removal and any other obvious vandalism) in place temporarily, if you'll discuss these disagreements, but if you're not going to do that, then I don't think you're showing signs of participating in good faith.

Template:Size broken

Please investigate I don't know why or how--I can't seem to figure it out and I'm rapidly falling asleep. :-/ Koavf (talk) 06:42, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

That's because of the unexplained(?) disappearance of Semantic MediaWiki. Please see User talk:MarkDilley#Back-end changes ???? - confusion in the mad house. We could either poke someone with shell access (eg. Emufarmers or Ray King) to re-enable that extension or disable the feature completely (pro: can be done immediately & reduce server load; con: no more Semantic Forms :( ). --YiFei | talk 08:07, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
I quite like the Semantic Forms :ppp. But yes, follow the discussion on Mark Dilley's talk page as linked above. Sean, aka Hoof HeartedAdmin / 'Crattalk2HH 15:42, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
