This account was blocked for pedophilia-related disruption. In particular, the creation of userboxes to self-identify as a pedophile was unacceptable. Dmcdevit·t 00:56, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

This account has been unblocked because a permanent block strikes me as a serious over-reaction. --Carnildo (talk) 18:14, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
I have reblocked. Direct questions to the arbcom. Matthew Brown (Morven) (T:C) 21:30, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Unless I'm missing some evidence here, this was a overreaction and a poor show of Misplaced Pages's self-regulation. At worst the templates violated WP:SOAP, and, to be honest, I've seen worse. The escalation of this into an arbitrated permanent ban only provides another warning of the decay of this project to a heavy-handed bureaucracy - no, an oligarchy - that operates on the mandate of "elite" users rather than due deliberation and reference to policies.
I had hoped that even if the user was a pedophile, there would be a more forceful reaction against. Nevertheless, I really can't blame everyone, because apparently paper-thin connections to pedophilia are enough to expel them from the project indefinitely. --Estemi (talk) 00:46, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
