Uhhh
editIs there some reason people don't want to use the talk page for talking about this? Are categories special? Friday (talk) 14:34, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
- I'll kick things off, with pleasure, Friday. --Dweller (talk) 11:28, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
Oooh, ooh, ooh... oh... no.
editOoh, I loved this idea, when I saw it in User:Kim Dent-Brown's recent RfA thankspam, but does it really have to contain the reference to WP:DICK? I know I'm not the only Wikipedian who abhors it. --Dweller (talk) 11:44, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
- Could you elaborate? Are you saying that admins never act like dicks, or...? –xenotalk 17:29, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
Rename
editPer this UCFD, does anyone object to me redirecting this to Category:Wikipedians open to trout slapping? David Mestel(Talk) 16:00, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
- Since the cabal is secret, I wouldn't want to betray its existence by arguing against that idea. --Dweller (talk) 16:03, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
I object. I created this category specifically to encourage admins who didn't like recall still to hold themselves open to constructive criticism of their admin actions. Such a move makes little sense of that.--Docg 16:53, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
- It's also a different situation in that it's less offensive (though that was never a real concern for myself) and it's not really a joke category (certainly humor is used, but it does have an actual function). -- Ned Scott 06:42, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
What the????

Iiigh!
editThat doesn't mean that they shall be trout slapped undiscriminately, because of the universal ethic of reciprocity. Trout slappers might be trout slapped as well. ... said: Rursus (bork²) 14:59, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
