message: This page should use "#" instead of "*" so that the entries are numbered and we could refer to them more precisely when pointting people here. ;) --Abu Badali 22:03, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Number these things

message: I love how nearly all of the examples (except what, two of the first five?) are of members holding ABF against other members or especially against admins. No single example of admins, meds, or arbs holding ABF against a member is listed. Whee. Keith D. Tyler ¶ (AMA) 20:15, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Brill. Next ban target is "sarcasm". First, move to project namespace, then delete. Subject should not exist, ∴ article will not exist. I honestly think it was a bad idea to delete the ABF article. Sadsaque (talk) 17:10, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
thread_title: Assume what faith?

message: This edit (which is admittedly many months old) removed a link to uncyclopedia:Uncyclopedia:Assume bad faith, which is virtually a clone of this page. This raises a couple of questions:
The edit summary seems to imply an unneutral point of view about Uncyclopedia. How much does that POV agree with consensus?
The problem is that the Uncyclopedia page is a poorly maintained verbatim fork of this page; does this duplication of content need to be fixed somehow? As an active Uncyclopedia contributor, it would be possible for me to ask for the Uncyclopedia page to be deleted or rewritten. Does anyone feel that that is necessary? 131.215.159.216 23:55, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I don't know who made this article on Wikipedia but it is a fraud. Even if it humor it nasty humor. This article is disgraceful. That is why I put the db template! It's time to say good  bye to this bogus joke!--Angel David (talk•contribs) 15:12, 19 August, 2007 (User Talker Contributor)
:Did you read the intro? This page is a collection of warning signs that, if you think them, it may be time to take a long vacation from editing Wikipedia.  The intent is to edify when a user might have gone over the edge from "productive" to "disruptive" by providing examples of what kinds of thinking lead to disruptive behavior, provided in such a way that the flaw or flaws in the logic are obvious.

thread_title: What a disgrace

message: Some of these make sense, others are just insults ('he's gay'?) and do not fit in with the theme. Anyone want to vote on what to keep and omit? Tyciol (talk) 07:42, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
