slakr's life is currently frolicking with chaos, so his activity and response times to queries will be highly variable.
Leave a message and he will respond whenever he gets a chance— that is, assuming he gets a chance. Cheers =)
zOMG!!! I need urgent assistance!!!1!!banana?kiwi?

Ideally, please post new messages at the bottom. If you can't find something you recently posted, I might have moved it down there or it could have been archived if you posted it over 7 days ago. Cheers :)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Comment

Regarding slakr:

Why did my page get deleted? Please see Misplaced Pages:Why was my page deleted? first. I have no idea what you're talking about. What's vandalism? If you received a warning from me and you're not logged in, you might have gotten an old warning I sent to someone who shares your IP address. On the other hand, if you've made recent edits and received a recent warning message from me and you genuinely believe that it's not vandalism, don't fret-- simply drop me a message below, because I could have simply made a silly mistake. :)

Regarding SineBot:

Why does SineBot keep signing stuff I've already signed? All comments should have a signature that includes both a link to your user page (slakr) and a datestamp (05:12, 20 August 2007 (UTC)) (per signatures - internal links). This is most easily generated by placing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your contributions, which makes something like "slakr 05:12, 20 August 2007 (UTC)".

If you have an interwiki-linked user page, consider either creating a user page on enwiki that redirects to your preferred home wiki or simply opting out of automatic signing.

If you're still having problems after trying that, post a message below. Be sure to include diffs to make sure I can reference the problem. I don't want my comments signed by SineBot. How do I get it to ignore me or my talk page? Please use one of the opt-out methods listed on its user page. SineBot forgot to sign something it should have signed. Usually this happens because the bot isn't sure if it really should sign something, so it defaults to not signing it (e.g., in cases of complex edits). It does this to avoid being annoying. Other times, a comment might be made when the bot is down for maintenance, so the bot simply never sees it. SineBot signed something that it genuinely should not have signed. Please let me know-- especially if you think it's not a one-time thing. Be sure to include diffs to make sure I can reference the problem. Is SineBot's source code available? Not currently. I'm signing with four tildes (~~~~) but it's still saying I didn't! You likely enabled raw signatures. Open your preferences, click the "User profile" tab, make sure that "Treat the above as wiki markup" is NOT checked, and click Save; it should be fixed. If you have an interwiki-linked user page, consider either creating a user page on enwiki that redirects to your preferred home wiki or simply opting out of automatic signing.

Please semiprotect blocked user talk page

User talk:202.156.8.9 is now being cyclically blanked by the user (blocked by you); would you please also semiprotect the talk page? Thanks! Todd Vierling (talk) 16:25, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

I happened to see this request. I semi-protected the user talk, timing it to the end of the current block (if I did the arithmetic correctly). The user's recent behavior might justify a longer block. I'll leave that to slakr to decide. EdJohnston (talk) 18:47, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
Yay, thanks a million. I was totally away when this was posted. For future reference, Todd, it might be faster to stick a request on requests for page protection, as more admins are likely to monitor that page than this one. Thanks for keeping a look out, and cheers. =) --slakr 04:07, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Sinebot

Hello again. I told you about an autosign problem with sinebot due to my new customed signature. You said, and I thought, that it had been fixed. But sinebot seems to be up to his old tricks again. I signed a talk post and it came through and autosigned it.  Declan Davis   (talk)  17:26, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Basically what happened is when I fixed your problem originally, I screwed up my regex such that it prematurely stopped at the "#" in escaped characters (like the quotation mark), thereby fixing the problem for you, but breaking for anyone who had a signature with escaped characters in it, including the people a few threads up that had quotations in their names. Anyway, I quickly realized my mistake and reverted the change, then re-fixed your problem a little while later. The bot's signing on the talk page happened about 2 hours before I had re-fixed the problem, and since it doesn't appear to be signing your posts any more, it should be finally fixed for good :P --slakr 04:03, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
Good work!  Declan Davis   (talk)  12:13, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

SineBot bug, please fix

I signed a message here with the date and time but SineBot said it was unsigned (2nd comment). In the page history it shows I signed. Neptune5000 02:36, 30 September 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Neptune5000 (talkcontribs)

You forgot to include links to your userpage and talk page in your raw signature; that's why it autosigned you (above included). Make sure there's a ] and ] in your sig, but you can customize the appearance of those as you wish. Todd Vierling (talk) 03:09, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
OK. I now have a link to my userpage and user talk page. Neptune5000 (talk) 03:18, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
Yeppers, t'was likely the problem. =) --slakr 04:08, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

About that vandaliser

Argh I didn't notice because he kept blanking his discussion page. I just started reporting vandalisers so I'm new to his.--Megaman en m (talk) 13:59, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

MY GLASSES ARE TOO BIG TO FIT ON MY FACE - UAA

Could you look over the request I made at UAA? Thanks. — Ceranthor 14:19, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
