Heretic music

Do you have a link to the facebook post in question, or is it private? --Gez (talk) 02:24, 22 June 2021 (CDT)

I asked him over messenger, but I have a screenshot in the drive folder. MargaretThatcher (talk) 16:08, 22 June 2021 (CDT)

Romero tweet

When adding a wide-ranging assertion like this, the minimum a reviewer would need is a link to the actual tweet. Please add a citation to the edit, or at least provide the link in the edit summary, or here. Thanks. --Xymph (talk) 01:58, 8 July 2021 (CDT)

  • Can't find the tweet, but Civvie mentioned it in his Heretic vid. MargaretThatcher (talk) 13:22, 8 July 2021 (CDT)

Warning for BLP libel/defamation

We take a particularly dim view of editing biography pages with information that can be taken as libel or defamation as it is illegal to publish such information. It is forbidden by our Terms of Use explicitly - please immediately review these terms in full. This is a warning that any such further edits will see your account and IP address(es) blocked for a period of at least three months. --Quasar (talk) 08:02, 16 October 2021 (CDT)

Not to be an ass, but what did i do? Ok I remember, but Torm actually did plagiarise, didn't he? MargaretThatcher (talk) 20:00, 16 October 2021 (CDT)
Personally I don't know, I don't follow community happenings closely. But if you do make such a strong accusation, you have to provide strong evidence to back it up. Otherwise, the above applies. --Xymph (talk) 03:08, 17 October 2021 (CDT)
Besides the aforementioned legal concerns, I would like to chime in for just a moment to say that in my humble opinion, drama really has no place on the DoomWiki, which should strive to be as neutral and non-inflammatory as possible. Bringing up past dramas like that only results in stirring shit up, and I think nobody wants that no matter which side of the argument they were originally on. There are much better things to work towards than this. --Dynamo128 (talk) 03:40, 17 October 2021 (CDT)

Oh, and while I hvae your attention, Ralphis said something kinda weird here. It's 20 years ago so he's probably changed but WTH: https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/77279-dwbs/?page=4
A page for a person on this wiki is there to summarize their contributions (in the form of mods, primarily) to the community. It is not a general place to explain their entire life, or especially to re-litigate whatever dramas they may or may not have contributed toward. As others have said, even if these allegations were relevant to the site (and they're not), in order for this to not constitute libel it must be a well-documented and cited incident, and must furthermore be stated as being an allegation, unless this is some matter that was considered settled in a court of law. You should see that it's simpler to stay away from this type of issue entirely if you want to keep contributing here. --Quasar (talk) 16:59, 17 October 2021 (CDT)


Just to add my two cents as a completely random guy, it feels like the 9/11 thing in particular makes no sense to include on any BLP. It's just a random trivia fact about his life, there's no relation to contributions to doom. --Rasa (talk) 06:41, 18 October 2021 (CDT)
