trout!

Whacking with a wet trout or trouting is a common practice on Wikipedia when experienced editors slip up and make a silly mistake. It, along with sentencing to the village stocks, is used to resolve one-off instances of seemingly silly behavior amongst normally constructive community members, as opposed to long term patterns of disruptive edits, which earn warnings and blocks.

Example

Whack!

The above is a WikiTrout (Oncorhynchus macrowikipediensis), used to make subtle adjustments to the clue levels of experienced Wikipedians.

To whack a user with a wet trout, simply place {{trout}} on their talk page.

On archiving, etc.

Regarding archiving, the normal practice is to provide a link on your talk page and not to archive ongoing conversations. Although users are generally free to do otherwise, your editing restrictions, etc. would suggest you should be particularly careful. As it is, it appears like you are trying to hide posts that criticize you.
I have no idea what off-wiki drama is going on and I don't want to
I don't know User:Anna Frodesiak, I don't believe either of us has ever posted on the other's talk page, IRC, or e-mailed. I mention this because of your comment at User_talk:Steven_Zhang#Your_adoptee.2Fmentee that it seems that Anna has gathered up her experienced user and admin friends to go against me and as far as I know, I'm the only admin who's been recently involved, though maybe I'm mistaken.
I sincerely hope you listen to your mentor and find a way to work with or avoid Anna.

To me they weren't ongoing, they had finished. -- PoliMaster ^talk/_spy 19:08, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
