My Userbob

I have a question for you, why did you edit my own user page and how were you able to do it, because 1 only me and admins can my user page (even if it's not the admins' page) and 2 your not even an admin (I even checked myself), I know I can make mistakes sometimes, but please don't edit my user page unless it has real errors (like typos or no plurals). --TCRFJNPoop (talk) 18:00, 17 May 2021 (BST)

User pages are not protected from being edited by other users by default (unless an admin restricts edit access, and it's discouraged editing other users' pages).
However, Hawk and I wrote the Userbob template under advice by Rusty to provide an alternative to Bob for userpages (told this on the TCRF Discord server).
After that, Rusty updated the Bob template with a warning that says that now using Bob on userpages is forbidden and to use the Userbob instead so, instead of waiting for the whole wiki users to change it, we also updated the users' pages to comply. Everything was done in good faith and no TCRF administrator complained about that (they appreciated it instead).
That's all. --ΓBSOD 17:32, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
Oh, I see now, I didn't actually know there was a new guideline until today since I wasn't in TCRF.net editing at all, I do apologize for this rant, it's just that I never knew that anyone (not just admins) can edit user pages if it's not there's by default (come to think of it, Ehm actually protected some pages like the 'Getting Started on TCRF' to be admin edit only when he's not one of them, but that's because he used to actually be an admin but not anymore, I also didn't know that users can retire being an admin and go back to a standard user, I've seen this on the history section of some pages), but thanks for letting me know anyway. --TCRFJNPoop (talk) 19:52, 17 May 2021 (BST)
I appreciate your apology, don't worry about it. --ΓBSOD 19:53, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
