Final warning

Cut it out on my talkpage, or it goes to ANI. ╟─TreasuryTag►sundries─╢ 06:50, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Gasp! Not ANI. :O Oh please, be merciful mr. tag of treasures!! --cremepuff222 (talk) 05:18, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Note

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. ╟─TreasuryTag►belonger─╢ 07:48, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Well... that was a fun game. --cremepuff222 (talk) 13:07, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
You have been temporarily blocked from editing for abuse of editing privileges. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make constructive contributions. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.

I've temporarily blocked you for 24 hours, technically for unblocking yourself so in practice so that people can figure out what's going on around here. Please do not unblock yourself but instead use an unblock template if needed.--Wehwalt (talk) 13:32, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

I unblocked you, as you blocked yourself. Is this a compromised account, or pure stupidness on your part? Secret 15:41, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Blocked for sock puppetry

I have blocked this account 1 week for engaging in abusive sock puppetry. Your position as administrator in no way excuses you from our sock puppetry policies. Please do no unblock yourself, and do not create or use any other account while blocked.

Secret, given that your rational for unblocking, and the block you reversed had nothing to do with sock puppetry then I assume this is not in conflict with your decision, please correct me if I am wrong. Chillum 18:03, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

After consulting with Chillum, I have extended the block indefinitely, until such time you come and tell us what the heck's going on, and why you decided to do this.. SirFozzie (talk) 21:09, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Community desysop

I have called for a community desysop of you at Misplaced Pages:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Blocked_for_sock_puppetry. I realize that might not seem fair when you are blocked for a week but feel free to express your opinion on the matter here, if someone does not unblock you. Fred Talk 19:09, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

It would save everyone a lot of time and trouble if you would simply agree to give up your admin rights now. You barely use them anyway. Please consider this low-drama course of action. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:14, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
Let's wait and see what the SPI investigation shows before we start wandering down these paths.--Wehwalt (talk) 19:17, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
I did that. He is editing from the expected location and created two sockpuppets, unless someone else is using his computer. Fred Talk 19:32, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
My own poking around in his logs and contrib history has convinced me that this is not a compromised account. There is no need to wait, but Cremepuff could still do the right thing and voluntarily relinquish the toolset. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:38, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
Hmm. "Low-drama course of action". Clearly I am not the one who needs a lesson on drama... this is all quite silly. --cremepuff222 (talk) 22:50, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
Aha, the Kraken awakes. Are you suggesting that this was sensible and profound, portraying a razor-sharp intellect? Because I think that it was a tad "silly," as a matter of fact... ╟─TreasuryTag►Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster─╢ 22:53, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
What are you trying to accomplish? I didn't like your comments on an RfA I took part in, so I posted some silly comments to your talk page. --cremepuff222 (talk) 22:59, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
Why did you post some silly comments to my talkpage (and sock your IP to continue)? And create vandal sockpuppets? And what about these edits? Do you think that they were sensible? ╟─TreasuryTag►sheriff─╢ 23:03, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
Not sensible, but not really a big deal either. --cremepuff222 (talk) 23:07, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
The sockpuppetry is a big deal. The silly edits less so.   pablohablo. 23:16, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
This is true, but the accounts weren't used for anything overly abusive. --cremepuff222 (talk) 23:17, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
Not "overly" abusive, but your actions have led to enormous disruption, drahahamaz and wasted time; that's about 180° (π rad) from what I want from an administrator (or any editor for that matter).   pablohablo. 23:24, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
Thank you for your concern. --cremepuff222 (talk) 23:34, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Resign "under a cloud"

Please have the balls and the honesty to do the above. You clearly once cared about Misplaced Pages and the community. Let's save everyone a whole bunch of hassle (Requests for comment, Arbcom motions and all that bureaucratic crap - 'cause trust me it will happen) and just chuck the tools in. Clearly you're pissed of with the place and it would be a lot easier (i.e. saving reams of bollocks on WP:ANI et.al. if you'd just give up the sysop tool, wait out your block, and then return to editing if you fancy it. That's what someone with good self-judgement would do - at least in my opinion. Pedro :  Chat  20:17, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Okays. --cremepuff222 (talk) 22:53, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
Sorry, to be clear, is this you resigning? Or are you just saying, "Okays"? ╟─TreasuryTag►assemblyman─╢ 22:54, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
Not really resigning. But they can take away sysop status if they wish. It's not like they need my permission. --cremepuff222 (talk) 22:57, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Please send an email to arbcom immediately

Per our procedures, I am serving notice that you should contact ArbCom immediately to explain your recent actions. Our email address is arbcom-l@lists.wikimedia.org. Cool Hand Luke 21:31, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Is it acceptable to just talk to one of the arbcom members? --cremepuff222 (talk) 22:54, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

RFC on your conduct and possible removal of admin tools

See Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Cremepuff222. While you are blocked, any replies you may have to the proceeding can be made here and will be copied to the RFC. I ask you again to please save us the trouble and give up the admin toolset voluntarily. Beeblebrox (talk) 21:34, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Seems reasonable. I am still quite annoyed though that I am being blamed for causing trouble. --cremepuff222 (talk) 22:54, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

To Those Concerned

Firstly, I apologize for all the drama that has come as a result of my actions. This was not intended... if anything I wanted to show how such silly edits and actions can cause the entire community to go nuts. I suppose I was successful with that goal. Hopefully this thread will end all of the debates and discussions that have come as a result.

To make things clear, my account was never compromised. All of the abusive messages and other nonconstructive actions were made by me. I can understand why the community would assume so, but I assure everyone that this account is quite secure. Regardless of whether or not sysop rights are removed from this account, nobody will be editing as Cremepuff222 except for him!

I take full responsibility for my actions. If the community wishes that my admin rights be removed, so be it. If the community determines that I am in an unfit state of mind to edit and it wants my account permanently deleted, so be it. Admittedly, I do regret my actions. I do edit (quite) sporadically, copy-editish ones usually of course, and I believe I have helped in deleting a few CSD pages in the past year or so. But if I have lost the trust of the community and it deems me unfit to wield tools and editing privileges, I will gladly allow the necessary actions be taken.

Whatever the case, I will not engage in anymore of these nonconstructive editing sprees. And again, apologies to those whose time I've wasted. All I ask is that all discussion of this ordeal be confined to the necessary areas, and for actions to be thought of as quickly as possible. Like I said, Wiki-drama is one of the worst part of the community in my opinion, and I would like all drama related to my actions to end and be thrown in the archives. I'm not saying my actions should be forgotten... Perhaps we can all learn from how the community responded to this situation, and decide on better ways to handle it in the future.

Thank you for your time in reading this message. ;) If there are any questions or comments, please feel free to ask below. Or if you are uncomfortable posting on here, I am normally on IRC and I check my email regularly.

Have a pleasant day! --cremepuff222 (talk) 23:33, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

The mea culpa is greatly appreciated, but I'm still confused as to why you chose to act in the way you did. Your claim above seems to be that it was a display of pointery. Is that the case? It is simply disheartening to see a previously productive admin behave in this manner, especially when no definitive explanation is forthcoming. Have you simply stopped caring, or is there something else going on? Throwaway85 (talk) 00:48, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
