Howdy GoodDay. Shouldn't you be using the unblock template? Maybe you've emailed ArbCom, but if not, you may be waiting a long time before they read your appeal. And anyway, after 12 months you shouldn't have to agree to anything out of the ordinary in terms of restrictions. You've been off for a year now. You should be back on with the same terms as a new editor, IMHO. Good luck. ] (]) 14:06, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

Well GD, they either aren't listening, they can't read, or they just haven't got your message. There are three things you could do.

1) Email arbcom. You ''must'' have some email access somewhere. Here's the address: arbcom-appeals-en@lists.wikimedia.org

2) Put this template on your user page: <nowiki>{{adminhelp}}</nowiki>.

3) Try the unblock ticket request system, here: http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Unblock_Ticket_Request_System

Okay, users banned by Arbcom can't just put up an unblock request, but you can ask for assistance using the 3 routes shown here. Wowsers! ] (]) 18:03, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

:But what are you doing about it? Don't rely on dysfunctional Arbcom watching this page.] (]) 20:50, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
]Hello GoodDay I understand you get impatient, but I think it's fairly standard that the committee works slooowly (Resolute warned about this above), so I don't think you should interprete it as a bad sign. Don't lose heart, yet. Since you last edited here, Misplaced Pages has got a new notification system; you might try to ping Courcelles or some other ArbCom member (just don't overdo it). You can read about notifications ]. (And please don't get into the frustated-with-the-Arbcom-mood that Peter encourages, cause that will definititely not help you). Best wishes, ] (]) 20:58, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
:Honestly, I'm not being critical of Arbcom. I realize they're often busy. It's just that I feel so helpless, particulary when there's alot of articles falling behind, due to lack of updates. Some of those articles haven't been updated in over 50 weeks. Knowing I can help out & not being able to, isn't easy for me. ] (]) 21:03, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
::C'mon Iselilja, I'm not suggesting he gets into any mood. Arbcom are hardly busy, so if they can't deal with this straightforward case in such an amount of time, well, that's dysfunctional in my book. And I don't think GD is helping himself to be heard. ] (]) 21:06, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
:::OK, I didn't mean to be negative to you Peter; I apologize if my words came out wrongly. I mentioned the new notification system as a possible way to get a little contact with some arbcom members. Regards, ] (]) 21:15, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
::::No offense taken :) ] (]) 21:17, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
::I really hope you get back so you can update those pages, GoodDay. You might have mentioned that in your appeal, but hopefully they know that you normally do such editing. ] (]) 21:15, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

This condition will be posted to GoodDay's user talk page (at which point he will be unable to remove them for one month, so that they are clearly visible to any editors who views his talk page during his transition back to contributing). The condition will also be announced at the "]" Misplaced Pages page, and a link to it will be included in the block/unblock log for the account.
