It seems clear I will not be able to use Misplaced Pages any longer after making to many anti-gg people not like me. Even though I am topic banned, they continue to follow me around Misplaced Pages harassing me and disagreeing with me on completely unrelated articles.


I do not want to be 'blocked' giving the impression that this was not my choice. But if there is some way to close my account, that is what I would like done. I will email Misplaced Pages later asking for a new account or something so that I don't have to suffer this harassment. ] (]) 13:37, 14 June 2015 (UTC) Can any kind Wikipedian give me general advice on filing AE's and ANI's when you yourself have ways in which people might attack you -- so that the decision does not focus 100% on you, while completely ignoring the valid complaints that you made? ] (]) 07:04, 14 June 2015 (UTC)

AE/ANI

Can any kind Wikipedian give me general advice on filing AE's and ANI's when you yourself have ways in which people might attack you -- so that the decision does not focus 100% on you, while completely ignoring the valid complaints that you made? Handpolk (talk) 07:04, 14 June 2015 (UTC)

Boomerang discussion at Help Desk

FYI, the Help Desk is designed for how-to questions about using and editing Misplaced Pages, not discussion about fairness in community processes. I doubt you would have gotten any more satisfaction in a more suitable venue such as Misplaced Pages:Village pump (miscellaneous) — it likely would be seen as WP:FORUMSHOP because of your personal stake in the issue. But the discussion might not have been closed after only 9 hours, as "Nothing can be done here, no more to discuss." Step One is always using the right venue. My take is that you should have been immediately directed to a better venue, but many others see things differently. Best,―Mandruss ☎ 11:24, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
