WelcomerBot

I don't think WelcomerBot likes me. [1] NTox · talk 22:11, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Hmmm... interesting. The API is reporting that the checksum of the page content is incorrect - I wonder if that's caused by the template or possibly your signature - try changing them one at a time and see if either or both fixes the problem. When you know, let me know and I'll try and debug it properly. :) [stwalkerster|talk] 22:48, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

It's entirely possible that it's the template or the signature causing it.

Thank you for looking into it. The issue now appears to be fixed, after I removed the interpunct ( · ) from my signature in the interface. NTox · talk 07:15, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
OK, I'll take a look at the signature bit of the code then, it's likely a double-encoding issue somewhere. [stwalkerster|talk] 12:05, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

ACC

Heya Stwalkerster! Could you please reactivate my ACC account? I contacted Deliriousandlost but she hasn't gotten back to me about it, despite my clarification of the circumstances surrounding my rename and accounts that haven't been renamed and unified. See this discussion. Thanks! James (Talk • Contribs) • 12:57pm • 02:57, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

Question

You recently gave User:Smsarmad Account creator rights, the rules for this right say a person who has been blocked for sock puppetry cannot have it, SMS has been blocked for socking in the past. See here. I am curious as to why this was discounted when the user right was given? Darkness Shines (talk) 17:35, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

He's a trusted user at WP:ACC. [stwalkerster|talk] 20:41, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
That really does not answer the question, the rule says "You have no history of abuse. Users with a history of account-related abuse — such as sockpuppetry — will be denied access to the tool" So why was this discounted? Who made the decision to override this rule? Darkness Shines (talk) 20:47, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
You appear to be confusing the ACC tool and the accountcreator flag. I granted +accountcreator because of his involvement with ACC. You are quoting the ACC requirements there. Note that those are guidelines, not hard-and-fast rules, and the decision will have been made by a number of tool admins, looking at who actually approved this user. [stwalkerster|talk] 20:53, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
I see, sorry. So can anyone do that ACC thingy then? Darkness Shines (talk) 20:59, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
(talk page stalker) - You have a very extensive block log, if it were my decision to accept you into ACC I'm afraid it would be no. Mlpearc (powwow)(Review me !) 21:25, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
A lot of those blocks should not have happened :o) But in six months I can try it out right? Just kidding, I am just curious about it, I have never seen this tool or right before. Darkness Shines (talk) 21:32, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
