To get plugged in to the community:

Welcome

Hello there, Rinop. Welcome to the Homestar Runner Wiki. We seem to have gotten off on the wrong foot. Another one of our users was a little overeager in his messages to you, but he meant well, and we're sorry for any inconvenience. So let's start over. My name is It's dot com, and I'm one of the administrators here. I temporarily protected your page, because we have a policy against making personal attacks on other users. I'm going to unprotect it now, but I ask you to remain calm and civil and to focus your efforts on making positive contributions here, so we can move past this. Thanks for understanding, and see you 'round the wiki! — It's dot com 23:01, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

I like you. I only did not like "Sam the Man" because he like, sends a message to me like, almost 100 times an hour.Don't do that.OK?

Thanks. Yeah, he did send a lot of messages, but his heart was in the right place, so I think we can cut him some slack. (By the way, I moved your message to me back here because we like to keep conversations all in one place.) Let me leave you with a tip: to sign your name, just type four tildes, like this: ~~~~, and the system will automatically insert your name and a timestamp, like this: It's dot com 23:16, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi. I'm Homestar-winner. Tell me if you need any help. Homestar-Winner (talk) 19:11, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Onward and upward!

Hey there, Rinop. I saw you made a post on Talk:The King of Town Other Costumes — that's great to see you're getting involved in the content of the knowledge base! I know there was a bit of a conflict between you and Sam the Man yesterday, and to prevent further disruption, I need to ask you to put that aside and move on. That means no hate lists, no messages on your talk page saying you don't like him, etc. In the rare cases that the two of you may encounter one another on talk pages, as on the above one, please respond civilly and without provocation.

One of the most important facets of a successful wiki is the ability of people who are very different to come together and build a great encyclopedia. You don't have to like everyone, and you can choose to purposefully avoid interacting with them if you want, but it is essential that you still treat them with respect.

So, hopefully this can all pass as we all keep working on what we're here for: building a great knowledge base about Homestar Runner! Thanks very much, Trey56 18:16, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

THey are actually very common cases.

As time passes, I think you'll find that they're not as common as you think. Also, your last edit is exactly the kind of post you need to avoid. Thanks, Trey56 18:27, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Not-so-fame

Hi, Rinop. I know you had a bad experience with Sam the Man recently; however, it's not OK to make negative comments about him on your userpage. I suggest you simply leave the experience behind and try not to think about Sam too much. We've asked him to leave you alone, so you should likewise leave him alone. Have a great day!
