Ugh, the seedy underside of having a publically editable wiki is that you run the risk of idiots vandalizing it with ads and such.

Thanks for the rollback, Arkanor, and good eye on catching it.

No problem. This site is vastly too useful to let folks mess it up. - Arkenor

Unlock?

IMO, You have enough editors to warrant unlocking almost every page. Those users can handle fixing up any vandalized pages.  :)

The possible exception is the front page. But I've also heard some good arguments for opening that page, too.

Thanks!

Help with Search

The Search page mentions going to the Help page for help with Searching but there is no help on the Help:Contents page. ---Torin23 01:57, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Forum Ban appeal page

I noticed there is no place on cohtitan and it's related sites for ban appeals. Could it be possible to make such a page somewhere? I am currently perma-banned from the forum by Aggelakis, so I had to resort to coming here to the discussion tab on a help page and hope someone sees it. Thanks when you do.

Appeals of that nature can be directed to the Titan admin staff via email: admins@cohtitan.com. -- Sekoia (talk) 03:51, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

Just noticed this (I'm a little late, I know). Seems to me that there should be an easier way on the forums to be notified of that method of contact. Not only for ease of appeal (or contacting generally) but also because I suspect we don't want banned people editing the wiki either, right? In this case it was benign but if someone with actual ill intent towards the forums gets banned, seems to me they may take that ill intent to the wiki. So I would suggest considering making a ban in any single Titan site to apply to all Titan sites. Felderburg (talk) 04:57, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

there are different levels of banning and types. While site-wide banning is possible, usually if someone acts up on the forums (which are Titan Network's, not just the wiki's) they don't also vandalize. Discussions can get heated and things said, but that doesn't make someone who got banned there a bad person, so we try to use the least needed punishment first, rather than a blanket one. Don't worry, the wiki can be reverted, and things can be reverted wholesale based on user for when we do have a vandal. Not only that, but things are backed up regularly. --Sleepykitty (talk) 08:38, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

Any chance of getting read only-access? so I can at least read my PMs. Joshex (talk) 03:06, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

you can't see the forums at all? or just can't log-in to see PMs? --Sleepykitty (talk) 07:31, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

If I log-in I can't see the forums at all just the ban message no matter what page I try to go to including the PM box. If I log out and delete the cookies I can view the forums (if I use a proxy, the whole being routed through a spam server thing is kinda annoying, but nothing you can do about that, it's my ISP's problem). by the way I'm getting ALOT of 504s and server not founds trying to get on here lately, not sure why, also probably my ISP or a bad line between the servers.Joshex (talk) 02:25, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

no, some of that's from the pw server, we're been having an interesting week. I doubt your ban will be lifted to allow for the sending of pms, but you might be able to request that the ones you received before the banning are emailed to you. o.0 don't take this as any sort of promise, mind, just that it might be possible. --Sleepykitty (talk) 20:29, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

I just adjusted the ban to permit you to have read access to the forums. I believe that should also give you read access to your personal messages. -- Sekoia (talk) 02:36, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

Thankyou muchly, I know I didn't even deserve that what with me giving uneducated legal advice that could have gotten people in trouble and making lots of unfounded radical claims. I am sorry for that, don't know what else to do, I suppose the ban is correct punishment. again thankyou for read only access at the least! Joshex (talk) 09:09, 5 November 2016 (UTC)

Hello, I have sent another ban appeal to the email given (and an apology a bit earlier) I trust you may be considering it, I would like to add the possibility for an interview to the process if that helps. Possibly on skype if need be. My reasons for getting back posting abilities are to help in projects that others have started in order to provide more of our game back. It's that CoX yearning that keeps me lurking here at all, but I'm here daily.. as said in the email I plan to keep my personal biz off the forums and already plan to cut the crazy out. I will send my skype contact by email. Joshex (talk) 15:41, 29 March 2017 (UTC)
