- Topic importance is recognized by colors

| I just want to ask my question without reading this FAQ
|
| Basically, it is not a problem for me, but people usually want to prevent an embarrassing situation when they ask a question and they get an answer like "ehm, this is explained in the FAQ". So, I believe it is in your own interest to read it (at least search the questions/topics please).
|
| I think this FAQ is too long
|
| Sorry, I want to save your time spent by waiting for my answer, so I'm trying to answer really every typical question here.
|
| Please, try to read at least the questions/topics. I will come with a "TL;DR" verion of this FAQ eventually.
|
| I have found a game bug, I can't log in into a game, I have connection problems, …
|

|
| I would like to help this wiki
|
| Excelent! An article editing is the main area where you can help, but there are also other ways how to be useful. You can help others by answering their questions on the forum. You can also check From the community page for any positions we are looking for. Or just contact me on my wall for any further tips what to do.

|
| I want more friends on Ninja Kiwi
|
| If you want me as your NK friend, feel free to send me a friend request on my NK profile: Spike144.
|
| I got blocked by you or some other admin
|
| When you are blocked, you can usually still use your message wall. The admin who has blocked you usually follows your wall, so you can try discuss your block there, but remember that a negative behavior won't work, so don't try anything like: "OMG, WHY I GOT BLOCKED?", "I WANT TO GET UNBLOCKED!", "UNBLOCK ME!", …
|
| If you are blocked even on your message wall, then you can contact me on Community central. Anyways, remember that a negative behavior there has usually much stronger impact on you and you can get even globally blocked within the whole Fandom network.
|
| My edit was prevented by Abuse filter
|
| Don't try to save/publish your contribution again and follow the abuse filter's warning message. For further explanation, feel free to contact me on my wall.
|
| I got blocked by Abuse filter
|
| You shouldn't have ignored the abuse filter's warning message.
|
| In a strong majority of cases, you got blocked for a good reason and there is no need to discuss it.
|
| There is a small change that you got blocked because some abuse filter's rule didn't work as intended. In this case, I notice your block within 48 hours and unblock you. Next time, please don't ignore abuse filter's warning messages.
|
| I need help with wikitext, HTML or CSS
|
| Feel free to contact me on my wall. For a help with wikitext, you can also check Wikitext, Wikitext/more examples, Wikitext/link examples, Wikitext/table examples, Galleries, Slideshows, and Sliders/wikitext, Templates, Magic words.
|
| I would like to know who the Bloons Wiki founder is
|
| It is Zelda311.
|
| I don't want unregistered users here. They come only to vandalize.
|
| Not really. It may look so, as many of the vandal attacks are done by unregistered users, on the other hand a strong majority of unregistered users are helpful. Many users come only to do a single or small edit and the registration process would drive them away. For further info, see Should this wiki be changed in a way that all contributors have to log in?.
|
| I have noticed somebody with a bad behavior like trolling, flaming, offending, …
|
| Don't Feed the Trolls, don't flame the person, don't respond even with anything like "I will report you for this!", ideally don't respond at all. Instead of it, contact me on my wall and report the person.
|
| I want to use profanity on the wiki
|
| "One person's freedom ends where another person's freedom begins"
|
| While you may believe it is part of your rights to offend anybody you want, others have a right to peacefully live here without being offended.
|
| We don't allow even things such as profanity in edit summaries when reverting bad edits, as it is always directed against some previous editor(s). This behavior only supports flaming and trolling and it never brings anything good. Whenever a profanity is allowed in the community, it always attracts people who come only to offend somebody.
|
| If you still believe you "need" to use profanity, there are thousands of communities across the internet where it is allowed, so feel free to join them and curse like a pirate captain there.
|
| I would like to chat with you
|
| This community has its own Discord server, you can find us on https://discord.gg/XxKbtKZ. Just remember: If you have nothing to talk about, don't expect that others are here to entertain you.
|
| If you want to talk to me directly, you should know I live in Central Europe, so I won't respond when there is a night in my location. Also, don't send me a friend request on Discord when I don't know you.
|
| I don't understand what that your “guestbook” is good for
|
| Institutions such as galleries or museums have often a book where guests can share their expresions related to the exposition they just saw. They can also just sign the book to say "I was here". We are not either a gallery or a museum but I like guestbooks and I like to see other people's wiki signatures, so I created my guestbook for a similar purpose: You can sign it to show "you were here" and to show your signature to the public.
|
| I would like to know what your nickname “Spike144” means
|
| "Spike" is a nickname which I adopted on college, and "144" is derived from my birthday: 14.4.
|
| I would like to know something about you
|
| I'm Czech. I live in Czech Republic. I'm 43 years old. I work as an IT. I practice 太極拳.
|
| I would like to know what games you play besides Bloons-related ones
|
| I love explorative games. I play mainly strategies, RPGs and survival games, but I play other game genres too. I prefer single-player or co-op modes (no MMO games because they are too addictive for me with various daily quests, daily rewards and so). I like games with open worlds or randomly generated worlds and sandbox games. My favorite game attributes are a complex research, training or crafting system, and campaigns with a strong story. Also, I like when I can create my own levels/missions/worlds in the game and customize the game itself vastly.
|
Here are some of my favorite PC titles:
- Archon Classic
- Command & Conquer series (from original C&C to Generals + Zero Hour)
- Diablo II (+ LoD)
- Graveyard Keeper
- Master of Orion II
- OpenTTD
- OpenXCom
- Spore (+ Galactic Adventures)
- Starbound
- Starcraft (+ Brood War)
- Stardew Valley
- Terraria
- Warcraft III (+ TFT)
- World of Warcraft (+ BC and WotLK, anyways I don't play this one anymore as I'm trying to avoid MMORPGs because of addiction issues)
|
| If you know any similar game that I might like, then please let me know and contact me on my wall.
|
| I would like to know something about your avatar
|
| Many users have very nice avatars, but it is usually difficult to recognize what is on the picture when it is reduced to a small size which is happening for example on threads or on the chat. My avatar is very simple as it was originally an icon in an old icon library created for Windows 3.1., therefore it was originally optimized for a size of 32×32px and 16 colors (namely this icon had only 4 colors). I had to redraw it completely to optimize it for the full avatar resolution of 150×150px, but it didn't lost its main advantage to be easy to recognize in smaller resolutions.
|
| So, it doesn't mean anything like "I'm going to murder you silently", but I just like that simple picture.
|
| I think some of these topics aren't really frequently asked questions
|
| "Originally the term "FAQ" referred to the Frequently Asked Question itself, and the compilation of questions and answers was known as a "FAQ list" or some similar expression. The term became more frequently used to refer to the list, and a text consisting of questions and their answers is often called a FAQ regardless of whether the questions are actually frequently asked, if they are asked at all, or if there is even any way of asking questions."
