Yo, King C. I just want to ask if anyone else reported problems with posting on blog posts? I can't post any comment on the new blog about Dragon Age 3:Inquisition.--Markurion (talk) 17:19, September 17, 2012 (UTC)

A story worthy of a front page post? --Wsowen02 (talk) 21:13, September 18, 2012 (UTC)

Qamek image
I uploaded and then realized that I've overwritten another one. Could you delete the new one, please? Asherinka (talk) 04:20, October 9, 2012 (UTC)

Problem that needs moderation
On a thread I created, "If you were the Hero of Ferelden, how would you stop the Blight", I was having a polite conversation with one of the users, JordanHawker, about my attempt to keep the discussion on track. He ended up not only removing the entire discussion that I was having with him, but also created his own thread out of spite.

I know this isn't as important as vandalizing an actual page with information on it, but it is still vandalism because he removed something he didn't like seeing, and created a page to spite the thread I created.

If this is worthy of taking care of, please do. If not, please let me know, and I will back off. Hitokiri Akins (talk) 23:35, October 15, 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for looking into that. If I have any more problems, I will let you know. Hitokiri Akins (talk) 14:12, October 17, 2012 (UTC)

Offensive User
Hey KC, could you tell this guy to tone it down? http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:TheRandomRanter Pretty much all of his edits have been offensive and very negative. A quick look at their edit history should show you what I mean. Thanks! ---- Isolationistmagi   06:26, October 18, 2012 (UTC)

Sorry to tell you this, but your warning to Random Ranter has caused his mannerisms to completely stay exactly the same: http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:TheRandomRanter/Fan-Fiction_in_this_website_certainly_sucks Cheers! ---- Isolationistmagi   21:36, October 19, 2012 (UTC)

 * In the absence of an admin (eight hours after the blogs were posted) I reported them to VSTF. I was informed that the blogs have been deleted and the user has received a one-day block. Personally, I found the "opinions" laughable (I'm not easily offended), but it was the imagery and choice of language that prompted me to do so. 15:43, November 5, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks, hopefully more permanent action will be taken soon, as this is far from the first time the user has been a problem. ---- Isolationistmagi   17:03, November 5, 2012 (UTC)

Darckner Sock
Hello again, I just wanted to let you know that http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/User:Darckner has been socking on forums again using the ip http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/188.67.166.92. I can give links if you want, but looking at the edit history made it pretty clear to me pretty quickly. See you! ---- Isolationistmagi   22:06, October 18, 2012 (UTC)


 * I think he has returned as 'David Gaider' (http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/188.67.67.217). He has edited comments from others in the Hawke's class and personality thread: http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Hawke%27s_class_and_personality -Sophia (talk) 15:56, November 7, 2012 (UTC)

Aand he's gotten himself a fresh puppet! I'll link to the edit history on the forum so you can see: http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Favorite_Dragon_Age_2_Char?diff=451054&oldid=451020 ---- Isolationistmagi   09:02, November 20, 2012 (UTC)

Problem user on a thread you warned
There's a user on the "I don't see what the problem is" thread. He's trolling and attempting to flame other users. Beginning very early on 22 October, this user is basically spouting the "I'm right, you're wrong, f*** you" argument, and has deleted several comments from other users. Here's the IP address he's signing with.

87.93.63.235

Thank you for your assistance. Hitokiri Akins (talk) 13:41, October 22, 2012 (UTC)

Said user has also revealed his love for Terry Goodkind, sound familiar? Aleksandr the Great (talk) 14:15, October 22, 2012 (UTC)

Very familiar. Thank you both. 15:41, October 22, 2012 (UTC)

In fact, I just noticed he was doing the same thing on the "Human Origin for DA3" thread; the same "I'm right, end of discussion" theme. Would you like me to keep an eye out for him? Hitokiri Akins (talk) 18:55, October 22, 2012 (UTC)

Seems he's still going at it considering there's another anon going around with that "Lord Rahl" title and uses the same annoying mannerisms. Seems like we may need more drastic measures... Aleksandr the Great (talk) 09:30, October 23, 2012 (UTC)

Here's the new ip: http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/87.93.33.46 ---- Isolationistmagi   16:13, October 23, 2012 (UTC)

Thank you all for your diligence and my apologies that I couldn't act sooner (I've been away from a computer all day). Unfortunately, the user keeps switching to different IPs, so as far as I'm aware all we can do is to continue to ban him. Thank you again. 17:12, October 23, 2012 (UTC)


 * I just wanted to mention that I noticed this user, 'Lord Rahl', (http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/87.95.70.101) deleted a comment from another user in the Character vs. convenience forum thread. -Sophia (talk) 21:15, November 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * They're also trolling the Revolution of the Casteless Thread: http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Revolution_of_Casteless?t=20121103183146 ---- Isolationistmagi   19:53, November 3, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thank you both. 20:18, November 3, 2012 (UTC)

Vandal
Now we have an anon vandal on the | Elven Language page. Here's the ip: http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/90.196.131.45 ---- Isolationistmagi   00:13, October 24, 2012 (UTC)

Another slain troll. Thanks  16:12, October 24, 2012 (UTC)

Another one for the block (pun intended): http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/203.104.11.13 People need to think of better things to do with their time. ---- Isolationistmagi   05:18, October 26, 2012 (UTC)

And another one attacking the "Coming Of a New Race". He said something, I responded, and he keeps deleting his comments, and more than once, mine as well. Their IP address is 188.67.198.216. Hitokiri Akins (talk) 18:31, October 26, 2012 (UTC)

And now, he's changed his text to gibberish. Hitokiri Akins (talk) 18:36, October 26, 2012 (UTC)

And now, he removed all the content on the page. Hitokiri Akins (talk) 18:39, October 26, 2012 (UTC)

And he just deleted the entire thread. Wow. Hitokiri Akins (talk) 18:45, October 26, 2012 (UTC)

I removed said comments during my last edit. Thank you for looking into it. Hitokiri Akins (talk) 19:13, October 26, 2012 (UTC)

Quest Approvals
Hi, not sure if I'm posting this right, or to the right admin, I'm used to the Message Wall format at Mass Effect/Dragon Age Answers wiki. I was running some calculations on the Approval pages and, studying Oghren in particular, learned that it's quite difficult to raise Approval through dialogue alone, without exploits or gifts. In Oghren's case, I noticed that the highest point you could raise his approval through dialogue alone, with a "best" possible net loss of -3 for siding against Branka, is up to +10. To get the others he'll have to be at Friendly approval, which essentially requires using gifts, triggering a noted bug that de-values the gifts in Awakening.

In short, would it be alright to compile and add the various approval changes for your decisions in certain quests to the Approval pages for the Origins characters? I see something similar for the Awakening characters already, at the very least their reactions to your decision in regards to Amaranthine/the Architect, and it's standard on the DAII characters. I was curious if there was a reason why a similar listing was never done for Origins (massive undertaking, dedicated section I'm not aware of, etc). Anyway, reply whenever you can, thank you. RShepard227 (talk) 06:19, November 4, 2012 (UTC)

Re: re: Quest Approvals
Thank you, I've already gotten to work, starting with Oghren. On Oghren/Approval I've made a quick list off the top of my head, I think this can be applied as a template for the other companions. If it ought to be alphabetized or sorted by type of quest (Main, side, etc), please let me know. RShepard227 (talk) 18:08, November 4, 2012 (UTC)

A few things that may need attention
There's a few things I'd like to bring to an admin's attention that may (or may not) need rectifying: The last two are questionable, I'm not familiar enough with the guidelines to say, but IMHO both seem to exist solely for the sake of spam and not for any practical purpose. No reply needed, I just wanted to make sure an admin was aware of their existence. 02:24, November 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * This has been created for the third time. It was deleted by D-Day twice, and the user was asked not to do it again.
 * This may be considered spam?
 * This as well.

And this one, too thank you --Ygrain (talk) 12:07, November 5, 2012 (UTC)


 * Never mind, didn't see Iso taking care of it up there. --Ygrain (talk) 13:07, November 5, 2012 (UTC)

188.67.67.217 can be worse than Lord Rahl
188.67.67.217 HAS CHANGED TEXT OF OTHER FORUM USER IN TOPIC Hawke's class and personality. I have already undone this vandalism, but this user should be watched. We con't want another vandals like Lord Rahl. Just call me Dalish fan.

Lord Rahl
Recently he has been signing his posts as David Gaider. I thought maybe it was an unhappy coincidence, but his references to Terry Goodkind is kind of a giveaway. Or maybe I'm paranoid. Would you take a look? Forum:Does_anyone_like_Sebastian? 17:01, November 9, 2012 (UTC)

And naturally, he's changed ip's again: http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/87.95.72.222 ---- Isolationistmagi   19:14, November 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you both. 21:54, November 12, 2012 (UTC)

Perhaps he returned as Jak Darckner aka 87.93.46.79. He again delated text of someone, who disagree with this guy with great ego. Delating texts of others is an act of vandalism. Just keep your eye on his actions.78.8.106.38 (talk) 21:36, November 30, 2012 (UTC)

Another vandal
Hello, sir. I just wanted to let you know we may have that Lord Rahl fellow or another user similar to him posing under the signature of "David Gaider". He's already attempted to remove another's comments on a forum. This is the IP of the vandal, assuming I copied it correctly. 87.95.72.222 Cheers. EzzyD (talk) 18:13, November 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you. 21:54, November 12, 2012 (UTC)

Another rule breaker
According to rules of the forum insulting others is unacceptable. 188.67.154.127 aka Jak Darckner insults people he disagrees with. I simply try to obey rules and I note, when somebody doesn't obey them. Disobeying rules leads to mess and shows lack of respect. Just call me Dlaish fan.

Yet More Vandalism

And there's another one hitting the Hawke and Anders pages. http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/107.201.164.116

---- Isolationistmagi   01:02, November 18, 2012 (UTC)


 * Nvmd, Vik got the VSTF to attend to the issue. ---- Isolationistmagi   05:04, November 18, 2012 (UTC)

Also, [|this] page needs a rollback when you get the chance, and a ban on the one responsible would be nice as well. Cheers! ---- Isolationistmagi   06:35, November 18, 2012 (UTC)

remove info about DA:TWS
Last chapter of Dragon Age: Those who speak was already released. There is no need for date release with negative numbers, so please remove this info, if yopu can. 78.8.3.84 (talk) 11:09, November 17, 2012 (UTC)

MAssive vandalism
Page about the Makers was vandalised sereval times in very short time period. Please study history of editions of those page and block all those vandals.78.8.241.244 (talk) 20:30, November 19, 2012 (UTC)

Jak Darckner (yet again)
Heylo, the infamous troll is back, this time on Forum:The_fate_of_Anders.. Just to let you know! 02:44, November 29, 2012 (UTC)

Here's an IP Drakner's using ATM: http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/87.93.46.79  Avg Man (talk) 21:34, November 30, 2012 (UTC)

Jak Darckner deleted texts of other again. Forum:Will The Warden ever come back or the story of Morrigan and Flemeth be resolved? and Forum:Things we would like to know. His IPs are 87.93.46.79 and 188.67.209.128

He again vandalised those forums, I just fixed them.78.8.0.215 (talk) 09:36, December 2, 2012 (UTC)

Darckner Aka Rahl aka Umbrella Corporation has returned and stil hasn't learnt that deleting texts of others on forum is against the rules. Here we have soli proof. http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:How_many_backstories_are_there_going_to_be_in_DA3%3F?diff=454782&oldid=454781

Can you deal with this? 78.8.103.75 (talk) 14:34, December 16, 2012 (UTC)

He did the same thing again, he never learns.78.8.103.75 (talk) 22:31, December 16, 2012 (UTC)

Day-bot and VictoriaLanders vandalise kossith
Day-bot and VictoriaLanders have gone ignorant and they vandalised pages with all kossiths. In info table they put qunari and tl vashot instead of kossith, we all know that qunari and tal vashot are names of a religion not race. Races of Sten, Arishok, Armaas and others is KOSSITH. They know it and despite this they vandalise pages with all kossiths. They mustn't give viewers false information.


 * It is not vandalism, they are acting in accordance with an agreed upon decision outlined here: http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:Kossith . Please note in the BSN links on the talk page both David Gaider and Mary Kirby explicitly state that the horned people are referred to as Qunari. In fact, Kirby says that Kossith is in fact an archaic term used in reference to the culture that predates the Qun. It is not vandalism, but rather a correction. Please allow them to continue their work in peace. ---- Isolationistmagi   08:09, December 3, 2012 (UTC)


 * Just to add to what Isolationistmagi has said, that I have also notified you about it: http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:78.8.141.13 . Some of your newer edits have been rollbacked as well. 10:35, December 3, 2012 (UTC)

Ancient rock wraith heavily vandalised
Page about the Ancient rock wraith has been heavily vandalised by an Anon, just take a look on it's history

http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Ancient_rock_wraith?action=history

Could you fix it somehow and punish that vandal?78.8.138.148 (talk) 09:07, December 31, 2012 (UTC)

Jak Darckner again
Hi, he made a racist comment on Forum:Asian_inspiration_in_Dragon_Age?. Can you check it out? 13:04, January 2, 2013 (UTC)
 * Jak Darckner is a pain in ass, but I saw no racism in his comments.78.8.104.156 (talk) 13:36, January 2, 2013 (UTC)Just call me Dalish fan.
 * It's rather inflammatory to single out and insult a particular group of people. The comment has been removed. 15:39, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

Just call me Dalish fan
The latest '| joke' posted by this user in the Asian inspiration in Dragon Age? thread feels very inappropriate. -Sophia (talk) 18:00, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

Last editions of the Imperial Chantry
IP of the user is similar to that infamous Jak Drecker, but the main point is my request for checking those edits, look if some of added info aren't fanfics or biased speculations of a fanatic.78.8.136.248 (talk) 10:59, January 4, 2013 (UTC) Just call me Dalich fan


 * There is in some parts a questionable neutrality, a few typos however the anon used the DAO Prima Guide as a reference. So if it is fanfics or biased speculations, this can be verified. 13:30, January 4, 2013 (UTC)
