User:Hopiakuta
Re your comments at Misplaced Pages:Wikiquette alerts#User:Hopiakuta, I would appreciate it if this was taken further. I took the issue to the administrators' noticeboard as suggested, and the discussion was closed as resolved with no further action taken - my request that redress regarding the personal attacks the user engages in regularly was left unanswered before the entire discussion was archived. I would support someone else taking this to a higher level, as I don't know how to do it myself. -- Roleplayer (talk) 01:55, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
- Hi, thanks for your message! I'm honestly stumped on this one. Something clearly does need to be done--the user seems to have bona fide issues, but that shouldn't exempt him from being civil and working with other users. I'm going to run this situation by an admin or two that I think might be able to help, or at least have some idea where to take this. Give me a little while and I'll see what I can do.

- I blocked the user for 31 hours as noted at User_talk:Hopiakuta#Block_for_incivility.2C_threats.2C_etc..2C_to_prevent_further_damage. Bearian (talk) 17:50, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

- Sadly, the
{{helpme}}tag will not do you much good. The users who respond to this tag are best at helping with "newbie" questions, editing help, and simple edit conflicts. Many of the actions you have already suggested would be a better way to go (admin notification per WP:AN/I or a WP:RFC). You may also want to try a IRC channel for more immediate attention. Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance. If you feel that another editor may respond better than I, please feel free to re-add the{{helpme}}template. Best regards. --omtay38 07:40, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

I disagree. The purpose of WP:ANI isn't to deal with incivility. Addhoc (talk) 22:07, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
