My word. So many on zero. Signed: False Flag.

I don't think New Gwenson should be included on the list. S/He/It was never a legitimate user. We shouldn't include it for the same reason we aren't going to include the "My password is" vandals: the list would be too long. --Hans Johnson 18:24, 25 February 2008 (EST)

I'm not sure it's fair to say Jazz is openly persecuted, The Fuck You Too Incident notwithstanding. 134.82.109.72 00:35, 26 February 2008 (EST)

It certainly describes his last visit. I think it's valid unless something different happens on his next visit. Signed: False Flag.

You might just have a point there. Icanhaveaccountpreferences 22:07, 27 February 2008 (EST)

[edit] Update

I think we need to update this. Tier 6. Need to drop Ames. He's not about that much.

Tier 5

   * PalMD
   * AKjeldsen
   * Kels
   * SusanG
   * Linus 

Palm, Kels, and perhaps Linus don't seem as active or influential as they were.

Tier 3

   * Bob M
   * Genghis Khant
   * Cracker
   * Sid
   * NightFlare 

Bob, Ghengis, Cracker and Sid could go up. --False Flag 17:01, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Ames remains so high because if he ever came back, he would almost certainly slip into his old role again. Hans Johnson _{I'll get my hans on it} 21:56, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Aww.... I dropped two tiers, how sad. Well not really. Congrats on the site move, by the way. Pinto's5150 21:49, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Thank you. Hans Johnson _{I'll get my hans on it} 21:56, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Kels... tier 5? Sterile 14:43, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fox

I understand that Fox has traditionally been given leniency by RW but after today I must question this. He blocked Jareddr and then totally freaked out when asked about it. He resorted to threats and demanded phone calls and then said "fuck you all" and proceeded to throw his toys on CP, outing and banning any number of rationalwikians and claimed he had some list of Socks. Honestly, I can think of nothing more disloyal than that and think he deserves our contempt. Just my 2 cents.--Pinetree 04:44, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Stalkbocks

Should the Tier be in the stalkbox (I'm assuming it isn't). Fat Tuesday 02:46, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Redirect or delete?

I would very much like to see this article deleted or redirected. It's standards are uselessly subjective, the division between tiers is arbitrary, it's normally out-of-date, and it doesn't add anything constructive or informative to our coverage of RationalWiki. Frankly, I consider this to be the most embarrassingly awful article I've made. Hans Johnson _{I'll get my hans on it} 04:21, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Agree. (although you probably have made worse :-) ) Fat Tuesday 08:50, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Agree with delete. While it is interesting, the "status" of editors changes so frequently that it really is impossible to keep up-to-date, and it's subjective as well. Suggestion: we might want to keep a list of Zero tier or less editors in a separate page. Refugee 21:21, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Delete, or archive as a historical record that we can embarrass Hans with at the RWW Christmas party. It's too subjective, people go up and down in different users' perceptions, leave, come back, screw up etc. It's much too fluid to rank clearly. Rrose Selavy 23:31, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

I redirected it to RationalWiki, for lack of a more appropriate redirect. Though... I am inclined to redirect it to social dynamics; it sort of discusses the same things, but it has more potential. Hans Johnson _{I'll get my hans on it} 00:24, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Social dynamics would be better - it's a better article than this one, and doesn't attempt abitrary gradations. Rrose Selavy 19:49, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
