'''''Shady Socks and Global Blocks'''''
It was about two weeks after I became an admin. I was in the chat talking to two random users I just met for the first time, [[User:TheToaMaster|TheToaMaster]] (Toa), and [[User:Trigger Hurt|Trigger Hurt]] (Trigger). Toa showed me a wiki of his, the [http://have-fun.wikia.com/wiki/Have_Fun_Wiki Have Fun Wiki]. I wanted to help him out with it, so I took a break from Trollpasta Wiki, and focused on the Have Fun Wiki. Me, Toa, and Trigger would chat on Have Fun Wiki regularly. Toa and Trigger were messing around with sock accounts, and would often roleplay with them. Toa gave me the passwords to some of his sock accounts so I could join in on the roleplaying fun. Me and Toa decided to bring the fun outside of the Have Fun Wiki chat, and raided other wiki chats with the accounts. Needless to say, we were having the time of our lives goofing around with the accounts. It was so fun that I decided I would take my socking fun to the next level... by vandalizing wikis. Silly me thought I could vandalize pages and get away with it. This was because I had no idea about "global bans" at the time. A global ban is where Wikia bans your IP address from editing on all wikis. Had I known this, I probably wouldn't have vandalized. But let's continue.▼
▲It was about two weeks after I became an admin. I was in the chat talking to two random users I just met for the first time, [[User:TheToaMaster|TheToaMaster]] (Toa), and [[User:Trigger Hurt|Trigger Hurt]] (Trigger). Toa showed me a wiki of his, the [http://have-fun.wikia.com/wiki/Have_Fun_Wiki Have Fun Wiki]. I wanted to help him out with it, so I took a break from Trollpasta Wiki, and focused on the Have Fun Wiki.
For vandalizing wikis, I used one sock account, [[User:EVIL PATRIXXX|EVIL PATRIXXX]]. My first "victim" was the Call of Duty Wiki. I inserted random images, and false information on one of the pages. I eventually went on to the Mario Wiki, Nintendo Wiki, and a few others. I got away with it for about a week, until May 10th, 2013. [http://donkeykong.wikia.com/wiki/King_K._Rool?diff=31352&oldid=31348 I was vandalizing King K. Rool's article on the Donkey Kong Wiki]. Someone undid my edit, so I tried vandalizing it again. But instead of the editor popping up, I got a message telling me that my IP address has been banned from May 10th - August 10th. I went to other wikis, and got the same message. I was on the Have Fun Wiki chat while all of this was happening, so naturally, I started losing my mind in the chat. If I left the chat, I could never reenter for 3 months. So I stayed on for as long as I could, until Toa "joke" kicked me off the chat for whatever reason.
I was really upset, because I had duties to fulfill
Fast forward to August 3rd, 2013. I decided to check Wikia because I hadn't checked it in a while. I went to my profile on Have Fun Wiki, and the "BLOCKED" tag wasn't showing up next to my name. At first I thought the self-unblocking glitch came back. But then I edited a few pages, and that's when I realized my global blocked expired 1 week early. I don't know why it did, but hey, I didn't complain.
I returned to Trollpasta Wiki, but not to edit, but to advertise the Have Fun Wiki on chat. The wiki wasn't getting much traffic, so I was trying to spread the word of it to gain more active users. That didn't necessarily work out, but I eventually stopped the advertising, and started visiting the chat regularly just to hang out and talk. I was on the chat almost everyday though out the year of 2013, and met a ton of new
All was good, and Trollpasta Wiki was better than ever. Then drama occurred.
'''''The Oderyus Saga'''''▼
'''''<small>(August 2013 - January 2014)</small>'''''
TO BE CONTINUED▼
"The Purge™" is what we like to call it, is a process where the wiki goes through a mass deletion of pastas. The Purge™ usually happens one a year, and typically lasts no more than a week, with hundreds of pastas getting deleted in the process (yes, the admins are the ones deleting them, not bots.) The first ever purge to happen to Trollpasta Wiki was on August 23rd, 2013. The Purge™ was started by a user who recently came back from a 7 month hiatus. That user would be "Oderyus" (no he wasn't an admin or anything like that, he was just some random user at the time.) He was very unhappy with a lot of the content on the wiki being ALL CAPS poorly written garbage, so he wanted to do something about it. He requested rollback rights (he also became a chatmod), got them, and started adding the [[Template:D|delete template]] to over 300 pastas, and nearly all of them got deleted. Due to this, his edit count grew. Grew to the point he was eventually eligible for adminship. On August 26th, 2013, Oderyus contacted Skelly on his talk page, requesting for adminship. Skelly didn't approve, stating that he was "too new" to become an admin just yet.
----▼
Oderyus was well-liked among the admin team. He got along with them well, and quickly became friends with them. But there was one admin who couldn't stand him, and didn't like him at all. That admin was me. While the other admins weren't on chat, I'd often be in the chat all alone with Oderyus. He seemed to have a darker side to him (his true self) when the others weren't around. He was disrespectful to the users of the chat, often saying "I don't care" or "no" whenever someone would say something that didn't interest him. He was also extremely arrogant on top of that, often praising himself for his "intelligence." He even took part in cross-wiki vandalism, vandazling wikis such as the [http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/Songs?diff=prev&oldid=874458 MLP] and [http://seddie.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/Oderyus Seddie] wikis (which some of the admins took part in for whatever reason). Oderyus' poor behavior and attitude only got worse as time went on. So bad in fact, we all came to an agreement to [http://trollpasta.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Log/block?page=User%3AOderyus block him for a month on September 19th, 2013]. It's also worth noting he got demoted from chatmod status due to reports of mod abuse two days before the block.

▲'''''<small>(August 2013 - January 2014)</small>'''''
Anyway, back to the Oderyus drama: With him getting unblocked, he returned to Trollpasta Wiki. However, he didn't get unbanned from chat until November 16th, 2013. When he returned to chat, his behavior appeared to be slightly better, but not for long. Weeks go by, and we start noticing him going back to his old ways. We finally had enough of his shenanigans, and blocked him indefinitely on December 1st, 2013, 2 days after he won the chatmod contest. Oderyus wasn't done with us yet though.
▲TO BE CONTINUED
▲Before the ban, me and Oderyus would use sock accounts regularly in chat. We would roleplay often, and exchanged several sock accounts with each other. These sock accounts were mainly based on celebrities, and they were only used for shitposting in the chat. However, Oderyus took one of my socks and vandalized the Seddie Wiki with it. Of course, [http://fatals-sandbox.wikia.com/wiki/What_Happened_in_the_CPW_Chat he tried putting the blame on me for it] a little while after he got blocked. He also said that I harassed a gay guy with the [[User:Donald Trump|Donald Trump]] sock account. Needless to say, [http://fatals-sandbox.wikia.com/wiki/Trollpasta_Wiki_PM_Chat_About_Oderyus I was fucking infuriated by this]. So I extended his current block to Christmas. SOMEGUY later undid the ban on Halloween, stating that I shouldn't block people for personal reasons.

▲A week or two before Oderyus got unbanned (this takes place in October), Haramonia randomly went inactive for 2 weeks. No one really knows why he did. He came back to chat after his 2 week hiatus, but he didn't stay long though (around 30 minutes IIRC). Ever since that day, Haramonia was never seen or heard from again. It's weird, because he never gave a warning prior to leaving. Very strange...
▲January 2014. It's a brand new year, and whadya' know, Oderyus is back! He kept bothering us to go to chat on the [http://wolfenism.wikia.com/wiki/Wolfenism_Wiki Wolfenism Wiki] throughout the entire month. We'd go to the chat, and the only thing Oderyus did was spam and throw immature insults at us. We tried talking sense to him, but he wouldn't listen to anything we said. He said "we betrayed him" and "we were his only friends" or some shit like that. After a while, he decided to leave us alone, and [[Special:Contributions/Oderyus|disabled his account]]. Oderyus was never seen or heard from again since then.

Line 130 ⟶ 131:
*The wiki had zero quality control from the day the wiki was created, to early 2013. It wasn't until late 2013 when we started taking action on unfunny spam pastas. Sexually explicit pastas were also allowed, until we started re-enforced Wikia's Terms of Use.
*The first favicon for this wiki used to be [[:File:Old tpw favicon.png|a recreation I made of the baby from Mario Paint, but colored white.]] (June 1st, 2013 - August 10th, 2015)
*August 23rd and August 24th, 2013 was probably the most busiest and active time for applications ever. In those two days, SOMEGUY123 and Fatal Disease applied for adminship, and Haramonia, Oderyus, and Mai sentry applied for rollback.
*[http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/trollpasta/images/5/50/Wiki-background/revision/20140208070132 This] was Trollpasta Wiki's background from September 16th, 2013 - September 20th, 2013.
*Anonymous editing was once allowed here. However, on September 27th, 2013 the [[Thread:26146|first thread]] petitioning to get rid of anon editing was created. Anon editing did get disabled eventually, but it some how got re-enabled again sometime after (IIRC). So [[Thread:66710|another thread]] petitioning to get rid of anon editing was created October 4th, 2014. Unlike the previous thread, this one was heavily opposed, and thus anon editing didn't get disabled. It wasn't until on March 5th, 2015 when a [[Thread:86955|new thread]] petitioning to get rid of anon editing for the 3rd time finally got it disabled for good. What a long battle...
