I think the wiki page is better without the ranks.

You know what DSM, I thought I had you genuinely talking to me for a minute there, but it's clear that's gone. We're done pretending you can hold a normal human conversation for today.

It was neutral for the years it was on the page you created. Two trolls attacked OP and the wiki. That isn't a community agreement that rankings are no longer neutral. That is two trolls defacing the wiki, and they should have been suspended for it. Your failure as a wiki admin caused this mess, as you refused to do your job impartially.

I mean, I think it'd be even better if the community could come up with something we all agree on.

Maybe not "ranks", but if not, then "descriptors" of some sort. If soloer #1 has to say "I soloed Froggy with three widgets, four whatzits, 17.5 wort potions, and here's my list of eighteen buffs ...", it's not as easy to share that solo, or compare it with other people's solos.

But if you can say "I soloed Froggy self-buffed, with no potions and weak clickies", and everyone is on the same page, everything is just a bit simpler. And I do think the community can agree on a set of "classifications", because the old ranks were halfway there already.

Plus, with that approach you remove the "you get X solo points for not having Y" element from things, which removes a lot of the need for flame wars. People just need to have objective conversations about which things make sense to be grouped together.

There weren't any flame wars for the years the ranks were on the wiki. Two trolls defaced the wiki, and you are deleting rankings for everyone instead of doing your job and punishing rule breakers.

The problem isn't the rankings. The problem is you can't admit you are wrong, and are coming up with the worst solution for everybody to cover that up.

Congratulations DSM: I've only done this maybe twice in the entire history of using this forum, but ... you've now been added to my ignore list.

Great. Now you will stop attacking me in every thread I am a part of with lies. Hopefully you will stop trolling now. You are a problem on these forums.

I am not sure why you think this is a punishment. There will be less of your spam in all threads moving forward!

Loramin is fine when he isn't tunnel visioning into me and blaming me for everything on these forums, while ignoring all other bad behavior.

For some reason he just got super flustered recently when I disagreed with him about an item. He's been following me around in many threads and attacking me with his same delusuions and lies over and over. Even when he'd never posted in the thread before. I already disproved his lies, but he doesn't care about facts when he acts like this.

Hopefully this will calm him down, and teach him to stop spamming threads. Maybe he will re-read this thread and realize how he abused his wiki powers and sided with trolls over OP, who was just trying to show off a cool video.
