Revision as of 21:48, 7 March 2008 by Doc glasgow (talk | contribs) (note to all)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Note to all. I have unblocked this user per e-mail assurances of productive contributions to articles from here. I'm giving a final chance. The next 50 edits (at least) will be constructive content. If clear disruption recommences, Lir may be reblocked. But I will take a dim view of anyone provoking. Please let Lir try to do what he's promised to do. If you don't need to post on this page, please do not.--Doc 21:48, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Request reason:
As far as I know, the correct procedure for blocking someone requires that the individual with a complaint file a request for arbitration; this has not been done, which makes this an excellent example of how certain users are consistently abusing their authority. The arbcom ruling against me allows people to revert controversial edits, but not to unilaterally ban me indefinitely without trial. In any case, when the system allows rogue admins to block users indefinitely without trial, then there is clearly a serious judicial review problem here.
My ban is not only against the rules of Misplaced Pages, but it has nothing to do with whether or not I am actively contributing to articles (in fact, I can't actively contribute, because of the hostile attitude of corrupt admins), and this ultimately has everything to do with the fact that I have complained about the way some admins treat the common users -- in other words, this ban was politically motivated. Furthermore, it is absurd to claim that I am here causing trouble and making personal attacks, while someone like User:Calton is clearly doing just that, and yet he is never sanctioned for his overtly hostile behavior; meanwhile, whom exactly have I made a personal attack against? As far as I can tell, absolutely nobody. All I want to do is edit the Misplaced Pages like any other user, but it seems some users are more equal than others. Any mis-step we make is used as justification for a ban, while everytime they do something wrong they can quote "Ignore All Rules". --Sheer Hypocrisy--
Decline reason:
We're here to write an encyclopedia. You're evidently not. Unless some admin thinks differently, consider this a community ban. Wikilawyering will not work— Doc 17:43, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
"All I want to do is edit the Misplaced Pages like any other user". OK. Here's the deal. Are you willing to prove that to a community that thinks (on very good evidence) that you are a pure troll? I'm willing to AGF and give you a final last chance to prove that. I will unblock you, *if* you e-mail me and agree that your next 50 edits will all, unequivocally, be ones that relate directly to article improvement. Are you up for that. Anything short of a clear "yes", and I will ignore your e-mail and not be interested in helping you any further. One violation from the agreement and you get re-blocked.--Doc 19:12, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
