[edit] Veteran?

Dude, your not a veteran till you have served in battle. You could say I was a veteran of the air cadets if you are a veteran. —The preceding unsigned comment was made by Canadian Reject (talk • contribs).

Dude (I guess that's how we refer to people we don't know now, right), I AM a veteran - I served in the U.S. military. What I am NOT, due to the fact that I have never seen combat, is a COMBAT veteran - and I never claimed to be a combat veteran - in fact, if you read my page, I claim the opposite. There IS a difference. Next time, Canadian Reject, sign your name when you leave a message on my talk page.

Since we feel that we're in a position to declare who has veteran status, have you ever served in a military? Whether mine or the Canadian Forces? If not (and I know the Cadets program there; it's our JROTC equivalent - YOU ARE STILL CONSIDERED A CIVILIAN WHEN YOU ARE IN IT), shut your mouth. Until you have served in a REAL military, and not some little high school program where they let you wear a uniform and PLAY military, you don't rate to speak on the matter. Smoke ^{My page}_{My talk} 03:41, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

I thought I did sign my name after my post. Also, the air cadets is NOT a high school thing, it is also a very good way to prepare you for the army.--Canadian Reject 02:09, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

It's high school-age children that participate. It isn't much different; you're still not in the real military. You are instructed on a few of the things that we do in the military, and yeah, it does prepare you for the real thing. I think more kids should have that experience. The fact remains, however, that you are still not military. You do not rate to tell someone who HAS served that they are not veterans. One thing you should've gotten from your cadet courses was RESPECT. That was very disrespectful of you. Personally, if you were my recruit or cadet, you'd have been thrashed for that one. Smoke ^{My page}_{My talk}^{My Editcount} 03:43, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Is this even up for discussion? If he joined the military he was obviously willing to be subjected to harsh and violent conditions. More than you or I can say Mr. Reject. BTW HAPPY vetrens day! ~ ~ ~ ~ 22:08, November 6, 2009 (UTC)

In many parts of the word, "it's" is considered a valid way to show procession. Though I guess it's not the universal usage. Either that or every Teacher of English that has taught me (23) were all completely wrong.-- Forerunner 20:40, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Oh, Sorry about the James Gregory Cutter article. I heard from an old website that I read a long time ago saying that Stacker voiced him. I'm a bit rusty from not being active here for a long time. Anyway, I'm sorry, and I'm glad you corrected me. Congrats on the HOTM award, and I hope to work with you again soon!

[edit] Regarding Dark Assassin

Such crime should be given an infinite block as it is about piracy and illegal downloading. Please consider.--4scen 22:54, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Project MOS?

I have noticed you mentioned "editing in compliance with Project MOS" in some of your edits (mainly, those that deleted the Starting Weapons charts I put up in the HALO 3 Campaign level pages) and was curious as to what it referred to. The reason I ask is that I was preparing to expand those charts to show respawn weapons for multiplayer and noticed them gone. (I have not put them back up)

[edit] Ill-omened IP

Greetings Smoke.
I've been talking with Nicmavr about this anonymous user who seems able to change his IP after his last one has been blocked and keeps inserting false information inside the Mauler, Gravity Hammer, Brute Army Commander and few other articles.

http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/96.235.134.133

I think we should block all his previously used IPs for an indefinite time so we may be able to slow him down. What's your opinion? Wing Commander Firestorm, Administrator 09:45, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Sorry for the intrusion, but all IP-blocks should not be indefinite. You can, however, block them for a year. Even if the anonymous user can change his IP, sooner or later, he will be bored and leave us alone.- 5əb'7aŋk^(7alk) 09:53, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, IPs cannot be blocked for an indefinite amount of time. I disagree on the idiot getting bored, though; they've been doing this for almost a year now; they usually target the Gravity Hammer article. Just block them for a year every time you see them, no exceptions. Smoke^{Sound off!} 04:48, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

It's the best choice for me either. Ok thanks. Wing Commander Firestorm, Administrator 09:00, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

If I may offer thought, It seems that he is not changing his IP, but in fact using other peoples IPs. See how the first three are all in 71. ect, the second and third are both in 71.188, and the fourth and fifth are 96.235.13 ect? He seems to simply be bunnyhopping IPs as it were. It may be that he moved after the first 3 IPs, and he is taking advantage of the new location. Thanks for reading.

The 96.235.*.* might be a school. They haven't used one of those since the springtime. Smoke^{Sound off!} 03:28, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Covenant Religion article

Alright Smoke. it might be useful. I deleted it because it was created several times and always canceled by older Admins for the "Unneeded" reason. After all it can be accepted. - Wing Commander Firestorm, Administrator 22:21, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

OK. Well, apparently he has more detail for it that goes beyond the scope of what can be placed in the Religion article, so I told him to give it a shot. Smoke^{Sound off!} 22:24, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Sorry!

I didn't mean to make that page, I thought I was testing a page linking to my username... I messed up. Thanks for deleting it.

[edit] Banned for a month

I am writing this on behalf of my banned account, user:Lekgolo123, anything I have done has been unintentional and I feel I have not had the chance to explain myself or anything, I am not a vandal and do not try to cheat the points system. I did it because I was bored and couldn't think of anything to do. I regret it now and I apologise for it, yours faithfully, Kig (Lekgolo123)

I'll give you another chance. Just make sure not to do that again. Smoke^{Sound off!} 22:51, November 10, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Why did you delete my sentence?

"It is likely that a policy like Chinas One-child policy was introduced to prevent such an huge overpopulation."

This is just a speculation but it is likely and the entire "Population" section is also a speculation.

---

Ok thats an watertight argument I will keep that in mind.

[edit] Listen

This is not directly discriminative, you do not have any reason to delete this sentence. I believe, as well as several others on my friends list that you have in the past and continued to abuse your power as an admin by issuing permanent and temporary bans to Halopedians. You're edit reverts without reason have also caught my attention as... unfair. I will remain anonymous, and if your abuse of admin powers continues, this will be taken up with senior admins. 59.101.81.178 11:05, November 27, 2009 (UTC)

If you have to do your "work" as anonymous, obviously you have no good intentions. How about you reveal yourself. Smoke^{Sound off!} 13:25, November 27, 2009 (UTC)

I agree wit that 59.101 bloke, u can be a real asshole sumtimes.

As I am one of these "senior" Admins, I respectfully ask you to leave if you are to continue this incivility and hostility towards Smoke. and the Administration as a whole. Oh, and it's pretty obvious who you are, regardless if you edited using an I.P. address rather than your account. Captain James T. Kirk, USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) ^Talk December 11, 2009

"I agree wit that 59.101 bloke, u can be a real asshole sumtimes."

—61.69.188.193

In my opinion, people like you continuously disregarding the guidelines and harassing other users makes yourself look like an idiot.

Nice choice to remain anonymous, but we still know who you are regardless. BTW, your spelling makes my eyes bleed. - Nìcmávr ^(Tálk) 21:55, November 27, 2009 (UTC)

61.69.188.193 - This kind of crap is the reason I am an asshole, more often than not. Oddly enough, most Halopedians think I'm pretty nice. Go figure. It seems you and your friend here are the only ones who have a problem with me. As you are making the choice to remain anonymous, rather than reveal yourself like I told you to (as I said, you must have bad intentions - or you're a user I've banned in the past and you're just pissy because you were forced to follow the guidelines here), I am making the choice to treat you as you are - gutless cowards, set on playing mind games rather than solving any real issues that may have arisen from my actions. Do yourself a favor - get the hell off my talk page and do not come back until you can contact me properly. If you refuse... you know what will happen.

Report THAT to the senior admins! Smoke^{Sound off!} 22:34, November 27, 2009 (UTC)

Trash talking through a computer screen is pretty big. But I live too far away to do anything about it. "If you refuse... you know what will happen." You will send your admin buddies to come and beat me up? The only admin who is a legend is Manticore, Aussie Pride. Tony is a power hungry Asian, Subtank is a desperately lonely female and you my friend... Your reply says what you are in a nutshell.

You bet your ass that any crap you see me talking here, I will say to you in person if I had the opportunity. You're the one trying to be an internet tough guy here, what with the attempted intimidation (and I stress attempted - you are not scaring me or anyone else here). You're the one assuming that the phrase "If you refuse... you know what will happen." refers to me kicking your sorry little ass. Much as I would like to, I'm pretty sure the Pacific Ocean prevents me from doing anything more than spewing words at a keyboard and possibly shaking my fist at the screen. No, when I said that, that was a warning for you to either be civil or cease and desist - or risk getting blocked.

Hiding your identity instead of showing yourself and actually being reasonable shows who you are as well, pig. Oh, by the way... blocked for harassment. Some "abuse of power" for you. Go report that, will you? Smoke^{Sound off!} 05:02, November 28, 2009 (UTC)

Look admins, a CONFESSION of abusing his powers. Discussion on talk pages cannot lead to a ban if it is just. Smoke. abused his powers. 61.68.51.94 05:08, November 28, 2009 (UTC)

Haha! 61.68.51.94 05:09, November 28, 2009 (UTC)

Ever heard of sarcasm? You were asked twice (once by Tony, and then again by me) to stop your harassment. Obviously you can't, so you go away. Penalty for every action. That's not abuse, nitwit. Oh, and just for your entertainment, I'll go show this to every admin here. Smoke^{Sound off!} 05:10, November 28, 2009 (UTC)

Confession of power abuse, eh? You're out as well, enjoy your vacation. - Nìcmávr ^(Tálk) 05:11, November 28, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] =]

Top Ten Reasons not to mess with Smoke.

1.) He can kick your ass virtually and physically.
2.) He's nice as can be.
3.) He's put up with more shit then most of those one Halopedia.

5.) He isnt a pushover.
6.) He can ban/kick/do whatever he pleases to you.
7.) There is no reason to mess with him.
8.) Hes suppa cool.
9.) He can fricken bench 400 lbs
10.) YOu mess with him, you suck.

I don't know whats up with all this stuff against smoke. From what I've seen on this site he's pretty cool.--Sgt.T.N.Biscuits 06:05, November 28, 2009 (UTC)

Bah, don't worry about them. Either it's all one guy, or it's a few users that I've blocked that seem to think they're going to intimidate me. What they don't get is that every block and revert I do here has a reason. I expressly state the reasoning for every block I levy - and for the reverts I DON'T state a reason for, it's either pretty obvious what the reasoning was, or it was vandalism. Yes, I screw up sometimes (Subtank knows, she's usually there to correct me) - this is really my first time as a sysop on a wiki. Everyone makes mistakes. Accusing me of "corruption" when you have no basis - and then continually harassing me and trying to intimidate me instead of addressing the issue in at least a somewhat civil manner - doesn't get you anywhere. Smoke^{Sound off!} 07:02, November 28, 2009 (UTC)

Meh, it's ochlocracy syndrome. People without "power" automatically assume that those who have it automatically abuse it. Not entirely sure why - perhaps its because they would themselves, and assume that others are just like them? Even I've had people complain about my actions, accusing me of abusing my power, though admittedly rarely - since I'm not as active now as I once was in days of yore, though, I just assume its because people have forgotten who I am. :P -- Administrator Specops306 - Qur'a 'Morhek 09:42, November 28, 2009 (UTC)
