User:Bad edits r dumb/barnstars and award and things of this nature
Barnstar page where only barnstar is one that promotes and encourages disruptive behavior which the Bad edits r dumb has been blocked for. The barnstar was added, and added, commented on, and removed. It was then reinserted by BErD. This barnstar does not encourage productive editing, and praises BErD for being disruptive. If BErD receives an appropriate barnstar sometime, then recreate the page. However, this one is inappropriate. MJ94 (talk) 17:45, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I have made a mistake in opening this deletion request. Although I still believe that this page should be deleted, I should not have opened a request. I hereby withdraw this nomination. MJ94 (talk) 18:57, 26 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep My personal opinion; the barnstar was given with a view that is clearly an attempt to get the user back to editing and to probably make the user feel wanted. This barnstar page is not going to be a symbol of feeding the trolls on our project, nor is it going to become a high profile page. It's a user page that is not written with negativity. Let's leave the user alone this time.  Wifione    .......  Leave a message  18:00, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure how "epic trolling lol kthxbye" is productive, or is an attempt to make the user feel wanted. He's clearly stating: "Wow, you're a great troll!". I also don't see how it's "clearly an attempt to get the user back to editing". MJ94 (talk) 18:08, 26 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep: you're certainly free to disagree as to whether user:Bad edits r dumb deserved the barnstar or not, but there's really no harm in him keeping it on a separate page. It becomes a scary day when we at MFD becomes the arbitrator of how editors are allowed to compliment each other.  For what it's worth, I think Mr. r Dumb has done a mostly good job so far here, and is just getting a lot of flak because he doesn't like to use the Queen's English.  Is that "disruptive"?  Maybe a bit, but it's really not worth goading him over.  He is a net positive to Wikipedia, and we wouldn't want to drive him off by deleting his userpages.

 * LOL. "Mr. r Dumb" sounds funny.--Bad edits r dumb (talk) 18:36, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep I know I am a little bit bias, because it is my barnstar, but I do not feel it is harmful or that in anyway it is encouraged me to do the bad thing. in fact, after i got unblocked i listen to the feedback and now i always use warning templates and i try not to break the rules. the user who gave me this barnstar was just trying to cheer me up after everyone was giving me 100% negative feedback and things like this.--Bad edits r dumb (talk) 18:31, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. The whole thing about posting silly messages in textspeak on people's Talk pages when they should have had proper warnings was disruptive and potentially damaging, the general textspeak nonsense is very irritating, and BErD's initial refusal to change was clearly steering a course for disaster. However, it looks like things have finally sunk in, and I see standard Twinkle warnings now, and some pretty good and eloquent comments on Talk pages and deletion discussions. I really don't think there was any bad faith here, I think it was just a (perhaps strange and misplaced) sense of humour. So if the silly-messages-as-warnings phase is behind us now, I don't see any problem with BErD keeping this barnstar - perhaps it will serve as a reminder of all aspects of this episode. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 18:56, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per Boing's rationale. R OBERT M FROM LI  TALK/CNTRB 19:06, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
