=Glossary of (un)familiar terms= drop your term here and someone will define it.

shotty: shotgun

DPS: damage per second

proc: Proc is a common term used primarily in game programming to refer to an event - a "procedure" - triggered under particular circumstances.

stack: end result is additive (+150% critical damage from sniper rifle stacks with mordecai's +6% critical damage from deadly skill)

DOT: damage over time

area of effect: "splash damage" non-point focal damage over area

FPRPG: first person role playing game

Flinch: is when you shoot an enemy and they temporarily stop, like how shooting a charging Badass Psycho enough can make it stop for a moment.

Non-Trigger Damage: bullet and rocket damage only, not elemental (proc:see above) damage. directed damage not involving DOT or area of effect. this term was made up by a user for use on his/her forum and should in no way be considered a gaming term

Accuracy Recovery: this is the time it takes your sights to stop wavering and give you an _accurate_ sight picture.

construct: a weapon/item put together in WT so that it is legit however it has all parts geared for a purpose (damage, tech, ROF, recharge, regen, power)

WT: Willowtree

ROF: Rate of fire

namespace: user namespace

mainspace: main namespace

speedloader: the half/full moon clips depicted in the game, used to load revolver, shotgun and sniper cylinders.

clip: incorrectly used to replace magazine. unfortunately due to the ignorance rule it is more widely used and must be trained out of initiates into the military, arms and/or munitions industries and those choosing to speak coherently. (does gearbot actually use the words "clip size" for magazine size?)

The Fudd: the seeming dance performed by players sorting through craw or loot-n-the-box drops. slowly moving, weapon in hand, looking down or directly ahead. "be vewy kwyette, im hunting ___"

aggro: short for aggravate, is an internal measurement for how much of a threat the AI considers an individual player to be. The more aggro a player holds, the more highly that player will be prioritized for attacks and skill usage by the AI. Commonly misused instead of the term "pull" (i.e. aggro that enemy = pull that enemy).

kite: staying at a distance, using ranged attacks, and running whenever the enemy comes near. the player doing the kiting leads the enemy around.

DR.
A, Dr.F, are you a real Dr., or is that just your screen name?
 * i am in fact not a doctor of any kind. dr clayton forester was a character from war of the worlds and on mystery science theater 3000, a tv show on comedy central and the sci-fi channel. 17:47, February 27, 2010 (UTC)

Signatures
Do only sysops,moderators or admins get unique custom signatures? ☻BLObOrt☻ 16:18, March 17, 2010 (UTC)

No, Any user can have a custom signature if they wish, there is a section on my talk page which tells you how, look for Claptraps post< 16:58, March 17, 2010 (UTC)

j-nox is correct. anyone can have a custom sig. make a page with your sig. then make a page refering to the first. enter the second page into your preferences pane for signature. it is preferable to have these pages under your user:namespace (such as user:blobort/sig & user:blobort/sig/prefs) 20:20, March 17, 2010 (UTC)

Is "plugging" acceptable?
Hello, Dr. F,

Prissybitch, here with a request. I trust your opinion and judgement. I've recently joined a PS3 gaming group/forum that caters to adult gamers looking for folks to coop with. So far I really enjoy the camaraderie of the group. When I first visited here I found that, sadly, there weren't many PS3 users here to converse with. I still love the wiki and visit it often for game reference.

I would like to drop a plug for the group in the Watercooler forum or even the PS3 trading forum. Would this be acceptable under wiki rules and etiquette? I just want to offer other PS3 users a place to find other PS3 users who still play the game and will be playing BL2.

Any advice you could offer in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Prissy:) 03:10, May 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * social groups and websites are not subject to the rules for commercial sites. any and all communities and groups for this, or any, game may be endorsed, shamelessly plugged and yes, even pimped.  very good question PB ty4askn.   04:50, May 26, 2012 (UTC) Blogs too. specially blogs.   blogs

Thanks for your support and prompt reply. Good day to ya! 11:43, May 26, 2012 (UTC)

"my story"
I've always wondered what the official history of Pandora was after first writing out my version here. It's been, I think, either close to or over a year since my last tweak of the old place and idle curiosities seem to not have been satisfied. And my history, I note with quiet disquiet, is still there.

 * ive not touched it. and i think its a testament to how good and/or believable it is that no one else has either.  just watch out for the truth nazis.   05:39, April 28, 2012 (UTC)

Reversed edits on Weapon Crate Locations
Hi, this is 131.252.4.4 (from home now, not school). The edits I made to that article are accurate (I have 1500 hrs in game and much of it in the vanilla game world, I know it well enough to give accurate counts for things like Lockboxes and such). I will try to add info on which chests are missing to the specific articles (on talk page there of) for each region and if I find time get some pics and descriptions for them as well. So I am politely asking that you unreverse your edit. As I am not about to start an edit war. 69.54.129.231 06:33, May 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * i did not say they were not accurate. as i said on your talk page @ fourdotfour you did not summarize your edits.  this would be easier if you made an account so were not talking on 3 different pages.  you are welcome make sweeping changes to articles however comma by policy (which, admittedly, i wrote) unsummarized edits may be undone or rolled back.  thank you for your interest in Borderlands Wiki .   07:03, May 1, 2012 (UTC) you may, of course, undo my rollback and give it a summary and move on to your next project like pictures (dont forget to categorize them).
 * I confirmed them all and provided a summary. dotfour, please provide a summary next time.  it really helps us distinguish quality work, such as yours, from the masses of drive-bys and vandals out there.   Dämmerung 15:42, May 2, 2012 (UTC)

what is your major malfunction with deleting my posts?

thanks.......sorry for bein such a hard ass....

forum

 * Dear Doctor,

I re-wrote the page I put up for the Mac Edition by Feral Interactive ( Forum:Backup saves Mac Edition by Feral Interactive ) which you archived for not being an article.

If it passes now could you please re-instate it and if not, let me know what you might suggest to make it pass?
 * Many thanks,
 * Playsonmac.

hows that? article needed help. did i muck up the link to bordertool? 11:22, May 11, 2012 (UTC)

I apologize that I'm completely "green" about all things wiki...I want to make an anonymous report of "something" this afternoon on THIS wiki. I really would rather appeal to the admins of the awesome wiki. How do I go about reporting abuse that occurred directly to me this afternoon discreetly? do yo have some message box/support spot? I don't really follow how to add a report on the report vandalism chart? Again I'm very "green".

HEEEEEY DR. F How do u get the cool rectangle with yur name and some logos? its cool and whyd u put me a pic thing?
 * it is a custom signature. there are several forum guides around wikia, and at least one on blandswiki. which pic thing did i put you?  00:27, May 27, 2012 (UTC)

Move
Could you pls move File:Inlfandel-HRD5 Steel Violator.png to File:Ilvandel-HRD5 Steel Violator.png (redirect suppressed), I misspelled the name. I uploaded for a talk page resource and citation for upgrading the max damage, and I'm going to go ahead and put it in the table under the new name. Thanks a million 03:40, June 7, 2012 (UTC)


 * Also, isn't leve 68 the max legit weapon drop? 04:02, June 7, 2012 (UTC)


 * I guess machines have them. 04:08, June 7, 2012 (UTC)

yes. &. 68 is max drop. machines will offer 69. if asking b/c of something from one of my pages please note i play 3pdlc and red guns is a dead give away. 15:17, June 7, 2012 (UTC)


 * Nop, just curious. I don't really know this wiki's guidelines, and knowing exactly what's acceptable helps. I'll get the hang of it. 20:42, June 7, 2012 (UTC)

noted. check policy. if its not there it doesnt count. please call me on it if you see me exceed _my_ charter. 22:41, June 7, 2012 (UTC)

Y U NO KNOCK!?!!
I just want to make damn sure the little bastids stay out.

Image caching?
I recently uploaded File:Ilvandel-KKA2 C Cobalt Tsunami.png, but had it equipped so the level was off. I know some wikis have an issue with image caching, and think that might be going on here. If so disregard, but it's showing the level 56 equipped version for both and I'm relatively certain I uplaoded the right one the second time. To be perfectly clear, this is what I'm shooting for. Also while your at it, why did the price change? @_@ 20:29, June 9, 2012 (UTC)

I wonder how many people have made the same mistake and uploaded equipped weapons... 20:35, June 9, 2012 (UTC)

Yup, it was caching. Thanks anyways and glad you didn't have to waste your time. 20:41, June 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * sometimes we have to wait til server resets. equipped  weapons were uploaded more often than not in early days.  price?  if same i have no idea.   21:03, June 9, 2012 (UTC)

Ugh, I miscapitalized this image's category on upload and have no idea how to twist wikia's arm into removing the category -_- fix pls 22:58, June 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks a lot, but how did you do that? When I went to edit it, there was nothing on the page. I don't use wikia too much, so is there a page for a file somewhere else maybe? I know I'm missing something obvious. 01:09, June 10, 2012 (UTC)

in edit page dialog there is a box to the right of article text for categories only. 02:40, June 10, 2012 (UTC)

Hi i need somthing, how do you mke that character card on the right? I want one!! CL4-TP Out!!!!! 02:16, June 10, 2012 (UTC)

Hey, thanks man.

the CL4P-tp, is that yours, cause if you scroll down on my profile page, not talk and see the location and that other stuff thats what i want it to say, and the pic to be my profile pic, thx, oh and put it in the place where i put my fake one not the C:L4P-TP one, but you can make a copy of it and put it there to. THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!CL4-TP Out!!!!! 00:18, June 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * the one i placed is an example. you may dupe it or change it as you like. i think i left all the lines intact (the ones w/o entries). 01:01, June 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * On my Talk Page there gibberish, is that the mod code? i meant them modded for me and then dropped for me in a PS3 privite play game. Sorry if you were confused. (Do you know anyone who is a PS3 player and will mod the guns for me and drop them in private game?) Just in case PSN Id: CozmicEgg

 * in fairness to you, i admit i have asked the little snot to link his talk in his sig. he has predictably refused/ignored.  so i link his first comment.  i note that no one has taken up the RfB banner.   18:57, June 13, 2012 (UTC)
 * I dont really find him all that annoying....YET. He is just wasting space on the pages he posts on, in my opinion. Should he start to Vandalize however... --Veggienatersml.png 22:01, June 13, 2012 (UTC)

and veg summed it up. hes not vandalis/zing and hes not altering anyone's edits. hes only threatening to hack steam and wikia @ the slightest provocation should we vex him. 22:08, June 13, 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree with you Doc, let CJ " VEX " him and see if he can do as he claims. I believe there is a saying that goes something like " the dog with the biggest bark is usually the one standing behind it owners leg ". If he does react badly, at least we will have a reason to drop the B&nH@mmer. --Veggienatersml.png 22:25, June 13, 2012 (UTC)
 * You've forgotten his nameless relative who will ban us from teh Microsofts. In many jurisdictions, threats to cause mayhem are in themselves criminal offenses.   Dämmerung 22:35, June 13, 2012 (UTC)

I'm new to wikia and i'm just wading around, confused and useless. I'm not sure how to do much. i've looked at some of the help pages on communtity central and such and i guess i'll look through a few more times, but, frankly, i'm just not sure where to start. i'd like to start making usefull edits but i'm not even sure what i'm supposed to use as a signature! The four tildes and then my username? yeah? nah? I'm not 100% sure what i should do to get warmed up to wikia, so any ideas? Thanks for any advice and sorry for being a noob!
