Please read this notification carefully:
A community discussion has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to the Gamergate controversy.
The details of these sanctions are described here.

General sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Misplaced Pages, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

This message is informational only and does not imply misconduct regarding your contributions to date.

Topic ban

Due to your disruptive behavior on Anita Sarkeesian I'm imposing upon you a 90 day ban on all edits about, and all pages related to, (a) GamerGate, (b) any gender-related dispute or controversy, (c) people associated with (a) or (b), all broadly construed per Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Case/GamerGate.

I have made no disruptive edits. This is clearly censorship.Theduinoelegy (talk) 19:40, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

Posting your complaints in the log of WP:ARBGG will have no effect on your situation. If you want to appeal your topic ban, you can fill out {{Arbitration enforcement appeal}} and post it at WP:AE. The appeal procedure is given in WP:AC/DS#Appeals and modifications. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 03:38, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

No. This is bureaucratic nonsense. I edited in the utmost good-faith to bring balance to an article that is very clearly not balanced. It is pretty obvious that there is white-knighting going on, combined with massive group-think that is causing the article on Anita Sarkeensian to fail in the most basic standards of impartiality. My desire was to draw attention to this before similar behaviour explodes all over Misplaced Pages. I have no faith that an appeal would be fairly or promptly heard. This process is intended to kick things into the long-grass. I don't see how waiting 90 days to have an appeal heard is any different from waiting 90 days for the ban to be auto-lifted. You don't work for local government by any chance, do you?Theduinoelegy (talk) 14:18, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
