Hi there, PLEASE do read this first. And after that, please see also:

Got questions? Wanna flirt?
You can do so by starting a new section below. But before that, do take note of the following:
  1. Don't mess with clowns. Or else... Muahahaha.
  2. I like it when discussions are unfragmented because heck, immortals tend to forget stuff. But I'd like it if you leave me a talkback.
  3. I most likely won't reply to anons.
  4. I enjoy ice cream, peanuts, macarons, caviar, Big Macs and fried rice. So, give me some maybe?
  5. I may not not not reply that swiftly to babble page messages as I have a life and I do NOT spend my whole life cooped up in my mother's basement with a MacBook. So there.
  6. And I am a heavy sleeper; you will most likely not find me online between 0:01 and 13:01. (Singapore time displayed below) Lastly, thank you for reading this. :)

Unblock request

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

Bonkers The Clown (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Half a year has passed by, and in this period of time I have sincerely atoned. Looking back, I deeply wish that I had not committed such deplorable acts here. I do enjoy editing here and hence it is truly a pity that I was led astray by the temptation of trolling. I appreciate this platform of information-spreading and I truly believe that I can serve the project well. I understand where I have gone wrong and my soul has been purified, after half a year of meditation in peace. May we not neglect the multitude of good articles and may we not dwell on mishaps. Having been cast aside for six months, I ask for your forgiveness and may we put things aside to make this world a better place. I ask, kind admin reading this, that I be unblocked. I promise to do what a good Wikipedian would. I will accept whatever penalties the community decides to impose on me, just so that I may return to proper editing, which is what I truly love. It is understandable if you reject my unblock request. I will not harbour hate toward you if you do. Rather, it is love, and only love, that I will give to the world. Embrace the world with love and do good, that is the way of life I have attained. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Thank you for reading this and Bless You. --☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 13:11, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

Accept reason:

We all make mistates; being willing to own up to them is commendable. I believe a second chance is reasonable here, so I have unblocked you. Please bear in mind your edits will be subject to closer scrutiny than many editors', but if you keep productive there's no reason you can't be a valued member of the community. - The Bushranger One ping only 00:27, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

Although I found Bonkers annoying in some of our interactions, I believe he has the desire and ability to contribute quality content, especially on poorly represented topics. I support unblocking him and am willing to offer him some guidance. --Hildanknight (talk) 15:06, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
@The Bushranger:, are you aware that this user was blocked after a community discussion (see Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive819#Request indefinite block of User:Bonkers The Clown) so a unilateral unblock may not have been appropriate. Even if we are going to give this user another chance (4th or 5th? Certainly not his second chance), we should be applying topic bans to try and prevent previous problems from reoccuring. Regards — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 10:02, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
@The Bushranger: God bless. ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 11:24, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
@MSGJ: Existng topic bans on race-related issues will still be in force. Plus the fact that I've endured half a year in exile, I think that should suffice. God bless. ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 11:24, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
@The Bushranger:, you wrote in November at the Bonkers the Clown is indefinitely banned from nominating any article to DYK and is indefinitely banned from moving any page to mainspace unless it is approved by an uninvolved admin alternate blocking proposal at the link provided by MSGJ, Support as condition of any unblock - for reasons already rather well-stated. Are you invoking this here? Already today there have been two DYK nominations (one article moved to mainspace, and one direct mainspace creation). BlueMoonset (talk) 13:14, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
Something's not quite right. "I understand where I have gone wrong and my soul has been purified, after half a year of meditation in peace". Maybe a bit much? I won't speculate on this editor's... "issues" here. Doc talk 13:38, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
I do not know whether it is invoked and The Bushranger did not make it clear. However, I would like to seek some good faith and just allow me to start off from where I stopped. We have too little time on Earth and too much to do. Stop the nit-picking and spread the love. ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 14:03, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
If you actually want "to seek some good faith", why don't you show some to begin with? In your unblock request, you claimed you "will accept whatever penalties the community decides to impose on me." But once unblocked, you're demanding the community to "stop the nit-picking" when they want to (rightly) enforce sanctions that had earlier been agreed upon at WP:ANI. What's with the sudden change of heart? Smells like bad faith bargaining to me. —Bloom6132 (talk) 20:17, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

BlueMoonset - I didn't write the first part of that, it should be noted; I'd forgotten all about that kerfuffle, to be honest, if I had I'd have clarified it here. That said, Bonkers, I'd suggest that while - assuming good faith that it'd slipped your mind as well - that you refrain from any further DYK activity (and moving-to-mainspace) until you request that the community lift that sanction, as it was seperate from the block; no action on the existing ones, per AGF. - The Bushranger One ping only 20:49, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
