Welcome Hrjcm! What's your name mean? Any dang way, give me questions here if you need it. Happy Wiki Huntings, Sam the Man 17:20, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Signature

HRjcm, I really don't think you should make your signature look exactly like that of our proprietor except with your name. That "joey" sign has been practically his trademark here for a long time, and your using the signature tends to frequently confuse me into thinking he's posted somewhere. Besides, wouldn't you rather be creative and come up with your own signature? Heimstern Läufer 01:22, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

I'm just saving it here until the fanstuff wiki comes back up. Then, I'll change my sig here to something more original. JCM 22:13, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Some advice from an old man

Hi, HRjcm. Regarding this edit: yes, the message had to be left, and thanks for doing so. But consider, he just joined a few days ago. Our ways are strange to him, and from the tone of his post on Optimistic Fool's talk, he's never been on a wiki before in all likelihood. "This is a warning" was, I think, a little too far to the "stern" approach. People talk like that on forums and websites all across the Internet, and on a wiki we assume ignorance rather than malice. Another wiki saying to remember is "Don't bite the newbies," BTW.

Don't get me wrong, I am glad someone pointed this out to him. But even old veteran HRWikier Qermaq here doesn't give warnings. If a sysop thinks one is merited - and let's face it, they're the ones who can back it up, not us - they can go ahead. But for something as benign as this, just pointing out the way we do things here is enough for a first offense.

Thanks for playing our game, and don't forget to get your pets spayed or neutered. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  02:21, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Just to follow up on what Qermaq said: Regarding this edit summary, it's easy for someone to accidentally post the same new subject on a talk page if there's a lag anywhere from the user's computer to the server. A simple "rm duplicate post" is all that is needed. Keep on tranglin'. — It's dot com 02:38, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
