Dramacow Ryulong / Michael Cohen - Fanatic Wikisperg, Anti-Gamergater and All Around Asshole

Arietis said:
Only a child or a completely naive idiot would unironically want to get into game testing. That stuff is soul-crushing. Besides, in the "AAA" industry the job is for small subcompanies formed exclusively by the stiffest "office people" stereotypes who hate their jobs, not gamers. While there are a few companies who do test group stuff with actual gamers, that's usually at/past beta stages, and kind of a rarity. Testers literally exist so programmers don't lose billable hours in running what they coded to check if it works or not.

For those of you that code at home, it's outsourcing the process of running your project after building. You can already tell how fun that would turn out when done over and over and over again. You don't even get the respite of having to work in code after a testing session.

For the rest, and with some simplifications: You play specifically tailored and incomplete versions of a game, to test out for things like "does the player character go through the floor when walking?". Then you write a report. Over and over.

This, combined with the disinterest of the office drones, also helps minimizing possible leaks since they don't get access to "the whole" (and NDA contracts are 101% restrictive). But also maximizes the possibility of not finding breaking bugs in the whole package, and that's why so many games come out with completely obvious bugs that aren't caught until after release.

That stuff is so nasty I don't even wish it on a sperg like Lyurong, to be honest.

Yeah, gotta say that actually sounds like a dream job for Ryulong. And you don't need to wish it on him, he wishes it on himself :D

While still bad , this article is more neutral concise and informative than it's rational wiki or even wikipedia counterpart. You'll also notice it's length is proportional to it's cultural and social importance.

members calmly and objectively discuss the article.

...were their's no huge shitstorm and nobodies insulting anyone.

What a sorry state of affairs that Conservapedia is the least terrible wiki for info and all thanks to Ryulong.

Anyway to tell if Ryulong was unbanned or do we have to wait for him to start edit warring again?

If he is unblocked you'll see it there.

More of that Wikipedia transparency and accountability. No behind doors corruption going on here!

The fact that it operates like this may be Cohen's best shot at unleashing his autistic rage on Wikipedia once more, since none of the admins that were enabling him to use meatpuppets/sockpuppets to violate his ban are likely to put their 'mop' on the line by ratting him/themselves out (and won't know he appealed unless he says so on social media/PMs to them). One of the admins alleged to be at Cohen's beck and call is Robert "Gamaliel" Fernandez, newly elected to the arbitration committee.

Drmies, another newly elected arbitrator, was sympathetic to Cohen when he got banned: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Ryulong#Sanctions

Ryulong, I know I've been plenty critical of your editing, but this is much more than I think is warranted. Take care. Drmies (talk) 05:08, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

Anyone have any idea how likely they are to consider off-wiki activity for ban appeals? ArbCom should take one look at Cohen's year at RationalWiki - where he was still obsessing over the shit that got him banned from Wikipedia in the first place along with being a tremendous asshole to everyone he came in contact with - and deny that appeal as fast as possible.

Off-wiki stuff is questionable. They look at it for personal attack cases ("personal attacks made elsewhere create doubt about the good faith of an editor's on-wiki actions...such attacks...are admissible evidence in the dispute-resolution process, including Arbitration cases.") I think they'd see that Ryulong clearly hasn't dropped the stick on Gamergate, which got him banned, and would probably deny the appeal.
(Also, while researching that, I found this. Finished up with a net negative of almost 200 votes, praise Sonichu for small mercies.)

@Jaimas I don't know if you're still working on it, but here's some random info/quotes for the Lolcow Wiki article taken mostly from Cohen's old reddit AMA:

Cohen was in a "dragon" phase" when he was 13 and a friend had to help him come up with the doubled dlagon Ryulong name, which he himself supposedly thinks is "shit". https://archive.is/0KMWq

ryulong67Ex-Wiki Editor[S] 5 points 1 year ago
I was 13 when I came up with this shit name with a friend's help because I was in a "dragon" phase. I used to get hit on in Inkscape chats by adults because of it and it wasn't until like years later I realized why.

Cohen did try to make a new screen name at the Pokémon site Serebii, but he says Wikipediocracy found out: https://archive.is/B5aGk#selection-2711.422-2711.506

Cohen claims he was "super banned" from ED for "no reason": https://archive.is/Q7DH1#selection-2427.0-2427.98

Cohen believed Wikipedia's Arbitration committee didn't know how to ban him: https://archive.is/YChwH He said he hated arbitration: https://archive.is/ZT8Fy#selection-2567.46-2567.316 ...and some salt after he "wasn't banned from shit" but the votes were heading that way: https://archive.is/ONV26#selection-3012.0-3083.6

Cohen living in Japan didn't work out as he hoped: https://archive.is/Vzfl3 He claims the Japanese government fucked him over. http://archive.is/1bHQP

Ryulong explains his version of his interactions with Mythdon (who you might remember from the Bleach wikia incident in December where Cohen was reduced to a quivering blob). Cohen also tells a story of how when he was an admin he banned some one from Wikipedia and then got trolled so hard he had to keep making new email addresses: https://archive.is/EBXT5

WP link about KensingtonBlonde, Cohen's nemesis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip.../IncidentArchive279#Block_of_KensingtonBlonde

Cohen has been pissing people off for years due to his Wikisperging: https://archive.is/XXirN Gamergate was "like the fifth" group he had pissed off: https://archive.is/MsfQ4

Despite spending so much time being an autitist wikipediot, he never made any quality articles, just "okay": https://archive.is/te8MB http://archive.is/iqrGt

The GamerGhazi spergs decided to raise money for Cohen after he claimed his 'friend' was going to throw out the things he had left with her if he couldn't give her hundreds of dollars "in time": https://archive.is/MjL3r

Cohen got indignant at someone thinking he'd kill himself over not being able to edit Wikipedia (of course, Cohen decided to evade his ban by having proxy editors such as Adam Morland and pedophile Sick Nick Nyberg edit for him): https://archive.is/AYYJr

Cohen said no amount of money would be worth being a wikisperg involved in Gamergate antics, but he was going to keep doing it because he believed even if he stopped editing there was no way out of the drama: https://archive.is/ljh5W#selection-2697.2-2961.162

Cohen told the Gamergaters that they shouldn't have logged into their Wikipedia accounts because them trying to counter his bias wouldn't make it a neutral article: https://archive.is/aQUvU

Cohen claimed that Sallie Mae had fucked over his chances for getting a job (he seemed to have spent over a year unemployed playing Puzzles and Dragons/sperging over wikis, finally mentioning something about looking for a job in January 2016): https://archive.is/YBVYQ

This is very useful info. Appreciated.

It's gonna have to wait until we're done stirring the Wu-Pocalypse, however.
 
It gives me hope to see no change in his ban status on Wikipedia but I'm not sure how long to wait before we can comfortably assume that his appeal failed because we all know that fucker appealed exactly 12 months post ban.

If the appeal fails, he can't appeal again for another 12 months. That should be enough time for him to get banned from wikia.

I kinda get the feeling he had a call with someone on Arbcom over Skype that went like this:

RL: So has my appeal been accepted?
AM (Arbcom Member): Well, we got some reports you've been using meatpuppets to dodge your ban.
RL: Lies. I was on RationalWiki and some Wikia wikis for the longest time, trying to wait out my ban like a good editor.
AM: I see. Well, we got some concerned admins who oversaw the Toku and GamerGate related pages worried you'll start fights again.
RL: I never did in the first place. I was just trying to keep idiots and gators from making bad edits, and I was only using the admin tools to make sure they never would.
AM: .....I see. Well, we might let you back as a regular editor, but we don't want you to get into edit wars ever again.
RL: Only gators get into those, and I'm just keeping them from messing up-
*call abruptly ends*

(cue tard rage on Ryulong's end)

IP 2601:140:8200:DE:E081:167E:5FAE:7DCB has some suspicious Ryulong-isms:

- Obsessing over translations? Check and check.
- Persecution complex? Check.
- Arrogant ownership over pages? Check.

Then again, I suppose the same can be said about a great many pathetic weebs with nothing better to do than obsess over the Wikipedia pages of their favourite children's cartoon.

Edit: Looking at the history, it seems that we also have 2601:140:8200:de:bce5:27d5:e81a:d444 and 2601:140:8200:DE:1176:A21F:161F:9D1A, both of which have a very Ryulong feel to them. It looks like Ryulong discovered the wonders of having millions of IPv6 addresses available to him.

Could this be the reason that Ryulong hasn't appealed to his ban? He's content editing as 3 million BoNs?
