Welcome to ATT and thank you for your contributions!

However, there were a few issues with your first few edits that you should be aware of.

First, and most importantly is a small matter of copyright violation. In the midst of all your new video game entries on Nausea Fuel there was one -- for Mother 3 -- which was a word-for-word copy from TV Tropes' Video Games/Nausea Fuel page. It has been deleted to protect the wiki from legal liability. As an apparently new user you should be aware that ATT and TVT have two different and incompatible Creative Commons licenses, and thus content cannot be shared between them legally. We strongly recommend that you read our Copyrights policy, specifically section 4. Please be aware that repeated copyright violations are grounds for a temporary ban, if not a permanent ban.

Now on to lesser issues:

For some reason several of your contributions were liberally strewn with "nowiki" markup -- on Nausea Fuel there was the Cowboy Bebop example and the "Buttville" subexample for Earthworm Jim, your Crash Bandicoot example on Narcissist, and the trope you added to the TV Tropes page. I'm not sure why you had such an excessive amount of such a rare markup, but I've cleaned them up, and I suggest you keep an eye out on what you're doing; the only way to accidentally insert these is hit one of the boilerplate buttons, and if that's what happened you've got a problem with carelessness.

Next, I've deleted the trope you added to the TV Tropes page on the grounds that it is borderline libelous, once again to protect the wiki from legal repercussions. It is one thing to describe the actions of TVT's admins and allow the reader to come to their own conclusion whether they are Jerkasses or not (and quite legal to do so); it is another to defame them in print.

That's all for right now. If you plan on continuing to edit as you have, we suggest you read the following pages, which you may find helpful and informative:

Finally we strongly recommend that you read How We Do Bans Around Here. This isn't a threat -- this is the wiki policy strictly controlling how and when user bans can be applied by an Admin. We want you to be aware that unlike TVT, we do not ban users on whims or because we're cranky -- and that you know what we do ban people for, and what it takes, so you can avoid future problems.

If you could please reply to this message so we know we've reached you. Thanks.

-- Looney Toons, admin
