User talk:Hammiams

Welcome
Hi, welcome to the Highschool of the Dead Wiki Hammiams! Thanks for your edit to the Forum:Takashi's choice - Rei or Saeko? page.

Now that you've joined our community, here are a few tips to help you get started:
 * A good place to start is on the Recent Activity page. From there, you can see what other users are doing, and it's the best way to view and join active discussions.
 * Before you continue editing, please read our Manual of Style to learn about our basic guidelines.
 * Joining discussions in the forums or talk pages is a great way to become active in the community. Just remember to sign your posts with four tildes(~).

If you need any help, you can leave a message on my talk page or on the talk page of Donutsonfire, our other administrator. --Turambar1 

Staff Members Page
The Staff Members page is something we had before the move from the old wiki that we don't do anymore. It was basically used as a way to organize editor groups and encourage people to edit more, but it didn't work. You can ignore any references to it.Turambar  21:29, January 23, 2012 (UTC)

HOTD Forum
I noticed the forum went down. I figured something was going to happen when the moderators weren't deleting those spam posts with graphic sexual language. I was just wondering if you knew if they have any plans of creating a new one, or if they don't, if you had any way of contacting any of them to offer our forums here as an alternative. I've been wanting to get the forums here active again for a while.Turambar  02:03, February 8, 2012 (UTC)

Rollback Privileges
You've been very helpful here with catching and reverting vandalism, and I would like to say thank you for that. I'm giving you rollback privileges to make it a little easier for you to remove vandalism. Keep up the good work and there might be an admin position for you sometime in the future.Turambar  22:14, February 16, 2012 (UTC)

Kanji Information
I don't see how kanji meanings have any relevance to this wiki, but I suppose since someone went through the effort we shouldn't just delete them. I think they should go in the Trivia sections, though. I don't have the time to move the information right now. If you want to do it, that would be a huge help.Turambar  01:25, February 20, 2012 (UTC)

Administrator
I'm making you an administrator of this wiki. I have had less and less time to keep up with things around here, and our other admins seem to have disappeared, so I think it is time to promote you. If you don't want to be an admin, just let me know. Otherwise, here's some information.

Most duties as an administrator are self-explanatory, but I need to tell you a few things about banning. First, always assume good faith before banning a user. If there is no obvious indication of malicious intent, just give them a warning. For minor vandalism, the duration should be around 1-3 months, for moderate to severe vandalism (e.g. blanking a page, spamming, offensive content) 6 months, and for extreme vandalism, like what a user did to the News page recently, set the duration for a year and put "infinite" or "indefinite" in the reasons box so we will know to renew the block later.

Other than that, just use your best judgement. You should read the Manual of Style if you haven't already, though it's overdue for an update. You really don't need to do much more than you're already doing, you just have more privileges now.Turambar  18:05, March 14, 2012 (UTC)

Thank You
I've been away for quite some time due to being so busy lately. I just wanted to say thank you for taking care of things here over the past couple weeks. You're doing well as an admin. Keep up the good work.

I don't plan on being absent for another long period any time soon, but I'm still too busy to do a lot of editing right now. My schedule will clear up in a couple of weeks, though, and when I have the time I'm thinking we can do some remodeling and give some much needed updates to the Manual of Style and policies.Turambar  03:39, April 1, 2012 (UTC)
