| Jeffrey O. Gustafson was allowed to BLOCK me without 'calming down' or being told to wait!! He is CLEARLY out of line and I want to be unblocked immediately!! | |||
| END THE OPPRESSION OF ARBITRARY BLOCKING!! | |||
| ==URGENT== | |||
| ==Jeffrey O. Gustafson== | |||
| Who the hell is this guy!? Why have I been blocked?? I have only ever edited on my own pages. I want answers and I want them NOW!! | |||
| Please calm down. We're working on it. --]]]]] 23:08, 16 April 2006 (UTC) | |||
| OK--but why is this allowed to block me arbitrarily?? | |||
| I don't know who blocked you, but it looks like it was a mistake. I understand you are upset, but you need to ] if you wish to be unblocked please. --]]]]] 23:13, 16 April 2006 (UTC) | |||
| Just be patient. We'll contact whoever blocked you and sort it out. --]]]]] 23:17, 16 April 2006 (UTC) | |||
| OK--OK I am in the midst of a PAINFUL kidney stone episode and I just wanted to relax and work on my article about the novel, "None The Bloody Wiser," by Philip B.G. Waslin. I really DO NOT need this type of harassment by someone who clearly enjoys harassing people. | |||
| : Actually, is empty, which means that you must have been caught by the ]er. Is there a way you could paste the entire block message here? ]]<sup>(] - ])</sup> 23:19, 16 April 2006 (UTC) | |||
| : Calm down. Read ] and tone it down your shouting and screaming is not helping, quite how you have determined this is an attempt to harass you I don't know please also read ] . The block log shows quite clearly that your username has not directly been blocked, so you are quite likely in a situation known as collateral damage. The block message you will have received will either be because the IP address you use has been directly blocked, quite possibly because it's a shared address and someone else using it had broken the rules or it will contain details saying you have been autoblocked (again as a result of someone else using the same IP address as you), complete with a link tp details on what autoblocking means i.e. ]. We cannot see details of your IP address or which autoblock might have caught you, you need to tell us those details from the block message so we can look into if the block can be removed. --]<sup>(<font color="mediumseagreen">]</font>)</sup> 23:20, 16 April 2006 (UTC) | |||
| Um---I'm not sure what that means?? | |||
| How am I shouting??? Can you hear me?? So--let me understand--I have to wait and be told to calm down and not "SHOUT" but Jeffery O. Gustafson was able to block me without any restrictions?! THANKS!! | |||
| : You were tpying in all caps, commonly considered shouting. You were complainig of opression calling someone a facist etc. etc. Now as above unless you tell us the block details we cannot help, we cannot see those details only you can. --]<sup>(<font color="mediumseagreen">]</font>)</sup> 23:24, 16 April 2006 (UTC) | |||
| sorry i didn't realize | |||
| Here's the BLOCK: | |||
| Your user name or IP address has been blocked from editing. | |||
| You were blocked by Jeffrey O. Gustafson for the following reason (see our blocking policy): | |||
| "indefblocked User:Braad evading block" | |||
| Your IP address is 68.115.72.93. | |||
| So--did the blocker in question "assume good faith" as I have been told to do?? | |||
| PLease stop re-inserting the helpme tag. We are working on it. | |||
| --]]]]] 23:30, 16 April 2006 (UTC) | |||
| ok----i will just wait like a good little girl---perhaps someone else could be more condescending?? | |||
| : As explained above you personally have not been blocked, the blocker in this case is the autoblocker a piece of computer software. Please read this page ] it explains the situation. As already requested please reamin civil, if you want to continue being aggresive and sarcastic towards those trying to help don't be suprised if no one wants to try and help you. I will look into the block and see what I can find out. --]<sup>(<font color="mediumseagreen">]</font>)</sup> 23:33, 16 April 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :: OK, I've removed the block. You can see the block log , the original block was put in place on 12th April relating to a different user. Due to the way the internet works these sometimes do cause collateral damage and catch another user, and should in no way be taken as a personal attack. Thanks --]<sup>(<font color="mediumseagreen">]</font>)</sup> 23:40, 16 April 2006 (UTC) | |||
| Thank you----no wait---THANK YOU!! I can't believe this sort of thing happens in America. I appreciate your help---so now---does Mr. Jeffery O. Gustafson get any consequences for his actions?? | |||
| : Once again read the page ] it give the details. The message tells you the name of admin who placed the original block, but it is the software doing the additional blocking. In this case it looks like it wasn't the actual autoblocker, but a similar effect from dynamic IP address allocation (DHCP). You were not directly blocked by anyone, so no there is no consequence for the blocking admin, such collateral damage does sometimes occur it is an unavoidable side effect of the way the mediawiki software works. --]<sup>(<font color="mediumseagreen">]</font>)</sup> 23:45, 16 April 2006 (UTC) | |||
| Hi--thanks for helping. I want the picture on my userpage to be about half the size it is now.....how do I do that?? Feel free to re-size for me......Thank you. ] 19:12, 14 February 2006 (UTC) | |||
