User talk:Sterga

Thank you for all the work you've put into your pages! I really love Sterga and love the work you've done! --FrozenViolet (talk) 10:50, 4 April 2014 (MST)

- That's sweet of you to say. Thank you. (Don't tell anyone I said that. Gotta maintain my image of an angry, bitter, jerkface.) -- Sterga 17:33, 8 April 2014 (MST)

The moderators have been in discussion regarding the use of wikicode since your complaint. From those talks, I'm upholding my earlier statements that I made to you on the moderators blog talk page. Wiki websites are by nature collaborative projects, so assuming that you can claim a monopoly on your specific way of doing things is absurd. To be frank, it even states every single time a user posts or edits work that all contributions to PRIMUS Database may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors. You acknowledge the risk of such things by posting your work here-- this includes the possibility that someone is going to copy and/or change formatting code for their own use. We are not going to screen every user for their knowledge of netcode, nor every page for the possibility that their layouts are copied.
Additionally, we've looked into a certain page which we believe is the focus of this issue: there are similarities, but it's different enough to get a pass from us. If it was that important to get off your chest, why wait eight months down the road to bring any mention of it up? --Δ Epelesker (talk) 13:43, 24 May 2014 (MST)

Well, in that case, it must be OK to lift someone else's writing as well. As long as I maybe paraphrase it a little, right? I think all of maybe two or three pages have ripped off my code, that I know of. What about all of the other pages that use someone else work? Sucks to be them. It seems to me that you are missing the point in what I'm trying to say. God forbid people have the decency to credit others for their efforts. -- Sterga 09:10, 31 May 2014 (MST)
