The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Misplaced Pages, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

This is your only warning; if you add defamatory content to Misplaced Pages again, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Acroterion (talk) 00:48, 20 October 2014 (UTC)

Activity on GG page

I noticed your activity on the gamergate talk page, and I'm relieved to see more editors with a somewhat "neutral" stance (that is of course just my honest opinion) are coming to take part in the ongoing dispute about the neutrality of the article. I think as more editors get involved, it is guaranteed that the article will become more "balanced" or objective, if it isn't already balanced enough. No doubt some people will attempt to discredit your opinions by calling you a SPA, please pay no mind to them if your goal is indeed the betterment of the article per WP's policies, guidelines and generally to represent information in an encyclopedic spirit. Thank you. 188.23.94.98 (talk) 00:24, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

GG Talk Page

I just made a change to try to fix some threading with a conversation you're involved with. Your change made it look like Masem was replying to you instead of Tarc. I believe you may need another ':' in front of your comment, but I wasn't sure if you were reply to Tarc or not. I apologize if my edit messed anything up Strongjam (talk) 16:10, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
