Abuse filter

Hi ApexAgunomu,

A new abuse filter for guidance for your edits is launched. Considering that blocks are not a punishment, but rather to prevent the disruption of the project, I have decided to unblock your account given that a new alternative is launched. However, you still need to follow the following guidelines:

• Evading the filter is strongly prohibited. If you attempt to do so, a block will be placed to your account.
• You will not be able to request permissions before 2nd August.

Thanks,
Matttestzh (talk) 10:20, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

Thank you very much for this solution, and I will follow both rules above. ApexAgunomu (talk) 10:46, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

I think the abuse filter here will help me focus on constructive testing here, which is good. And I'll try not to set it off so much. It's just that I wasn't expecting things like editing or creating talk pages would trigger it. ApexAgunomu (talk) 02:44, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi, it seems that you have problems when moving the Move test page. I aim to resolve this soon. -Matttestzh (talk) 04:38, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi, after I investigated the issue, it seems that it is because you tried to move it to the TestWiki namespace. TestWiki namespace is not for testing, and therefore disallowed by the filter. -Matttestzh (talk) 04:53, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

As for creating talk pages for testing, it is prohibited after consideration because it'a not good for For-Test Wiki if other outside observers see such nonsense flooding everywhere in the talk pages. Non-test comments with signatures is however, allowed. --Matttestzh (talk) 06:30, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for the answers, and they all make perfect sense to me. I appreciate your installing the filter once again, and hope to test with no issues from now on. ApexAgunomu (talk) 08:09, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

Filter log

When your guidance filter have been changed by me, I will manually log it at User:Matttestzh/Guidance filter log. Please check the log before reporting any issues on the filter, thanks. -Matttestzh (talk) 03:31, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

All right, I'll do that. Thanks for letting me know. ApexAgunomu (talk) 03:42, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

Also, because I just happened to be thinking about this, I wanted to say that even when I do regain my admin powers here, I will stay away from editing the filter in any way. I don't want to potentially get in trouble for doing that. If I have anything I think should be changed about it, I'll talk to you about it. ApexAgunomu (talk) 03:47, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

Regarding your PM on IRC

Would you like me to private message you back or just leave my response here? I would like to PM you back but it seems that you are not online when I received the message. -Matttestzh (talk) 01:26, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

You can reply here. Thanks. ApexAgunomu (talk) 01:28, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

So, as you pointed out, I have just checked the recent changes of it, and the user you probably mentioned appears as an impersonation of mine. I wasn’t expecting that, but I guess it is done by someone who have strong personal animosity towards me, as I have been involved in some conflicts (I.e. the unbooks’ dispute) in miraheze previously. -Matttestzh (talk) 01:36, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

Yeah I figured it was an impersonation, it just took me by surprise when I saw that account with your name being confirmed to vandals, as I know you wouldn't do something like that. Thanks for the anser. ApexAgunomu (talk) 01:42, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

Note

Hi, it is just a friendly reminder. Please avoid from evading the filter (I.e. as you attempted to do so by putting full-stop inside the swear words), though it is blocked by the filter. -Matttestzh (talk) 13:26, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

All right I won't try to evade the filter again. ApexAgunomu (talk) 13:52, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

Categories

Hello, please do not leave profane categories as you did here. There isn't a need, and even though it was immediately revision deleted, it could cause general disruption otherwise, and you do have a history of adding unnecessary profanity to pages. --Justarandomamerican (talk) 01:23, 23 August 2022 (UTC)

I will try not to do that any more. ApexAgunomu (talk) 03:38, 23 August 2022 (UTC)

Final warning

Please do not attempt to evade the filter again. If you repeat to do so, as agreed in the terms in your previous block, a full block will be placed to your account. -Matttestzh (talk) 08:25, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

Please stop writing comments, like this. AlPaD (talk) 18:34, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

This is the third time you're being told to cease your continous attempts at evading the filter, as you recently did so here. Please stop! - Username ^(talk) 02:59, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

Blocked

You have been blocked from editing For-Test Wiki indefinitely as a result of your disruptive edits. Please note that vandalism, spam, deliberate misinformation, privacy violations, personal attacks, legal threats, and repeated, blatant violations of our policies will not be tolerated.

P.S. As stated in your warnings above, you have been continuously breaching the editing restrictions, which prohibits you from evading the regex in the abuse filter. Therefore, a indefinite block along with full rights removal is issued to your account. You can request an unblock by placing {{unblock|your reason}} on your talk page, and any patrolling steward will review your request. -Matttestzh (talk) 02:52, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

I definitely should not have made the kinds of edits I have been, and I am sorry for that. I understand that I will be blocked for at least a little bit, but is there any way I can be unblocked in maybe a couple of weeks and have one more chance to be a good admin here? ApexAgunomu (talk) 03:04, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

Any block appeal will most likely not be accepted for 3 months starting from today. I will advise you to take a wikibreak and not to attempt to create any sockpuppets here. -Matttestzh (talk) 03:53, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

I won't make any sockpuppets here, and maybe taking a wikibreak will be good for me. Talk to you later. ApexAgunomu (talk) 10:54, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

Block Amendment Request

This blocked user's unblock request has been reviewed by a steward, or by community discussion, which declined the request. Other stewards may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Piccadilly (block log • active blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • change block settings • unblock • filter log)

---

Request reason:

I understand that I have been disruptive here and that I deserve to be blocked for a while. However, I was wondering if maybe my block could be set to expire automatically, even if it's not for a while, instead of being indefinite. I won't make any extra accounts to try to get around the block and when it expires, I will obey all the rules here and abide by my editing restrictions without trying to get around them. Thanks. ApexAgunomu (talk) 02:55, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Per above. You are free to appeal the block at any time but it will most likely not pass for 3 months starting from the date when the block is issued. I imposed an indefinite block is because (i) you have already been warned numerous times about this behavior, but still hadn’t changed; (ii) I’d only be comfortable to unblock you when you have changed your behavior here - this is something where temporary blocks can’t do. -Matttestzh (talk) 11:24, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

---

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read Wikipedia's 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.

@Matttestzh: How can I show that my behavior here has changed while I'm blocked? ApexAgunomu (talk) 14:14, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

For example, if you get unlocked in miraheze and show constructive editing there, or do not attempt to appeal in any ways here for 3 months + no sockpuppet here, I may consider an unblock partially, limiting you to edit your own user page/ subpage only. If at that time you really rectified your behavior, then I may consider a full unblock. -Matttestzh (talk) 10:10, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

Okay, thank you for your reply. ApexAgunomu (talk) 10:46, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

New Block Appeal

This blocked user's unblock request has been reviewed by a steward, or by community discussion, which declined the request. Other stewards may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Piccadilly (block log • active blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • change block settings • unblock • filter log)

Request reason:

Since it has now been 3 months since my last appeal here, I would like to ask that my block be lifted so I can test here again. I will not put any bad words anywhere or attempt to evade any restrictions. Thank you. ApexAgunomu (talk) 04:04, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Your miraheze global lock is still in place and I see nothing in convincing me to lift your block besides your promises, which you had broke multiple times in the past. Additionally, lots of users in your miraheze RfC global ban appeal have pointed out that you have been continuously evading the global lock, as well as stewards reporting that you have been continuously sending vile emails to them. Therefore, I am not really comfortable to lift this block as of now. I would suggest you to wait for at least another 3 months before another unblock appeal. -Matttestzh (talk) 09:03, 8 December 2022 (UTC)

---

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read Wikipedia's 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.

I will try not to evade my lock any more, but while I did send a few bad emails to the stewards in the past, I haven't sent them any nasty messages for several months now. Could I maybe try appealing in one month assuming I don't evade my lock at all in that time? ApexAgunomu (talk) 09:52, 8 December 2022 (UTC)

As I said, you have continuously breaking your promises in the past, and thus I am not comfortable enough to unblock you. I would really suggest you to wait for another 3 months, and do not attempt to create any sockpuppets here. After that if there are no other concerns of your account being stated in miraheze or other wiki projects, I would consider a partial unblock, allowing you to edit your own user sub-page. -Matttestzh (talk) 10:22, 8 December 2022 (UTC)

All right, I will stay away from causing any more trouble and appeal here again in March. ApexAgunomu (talk) 10:35, 8 December 2022 (UTC)

Request reason:

Hi @Matttestzh:, I was wondering if now I could be unblocked to test here. I have not evaded my global lock on Miraheze in awhile, and will obey all the rules here. Specifically, I will only test on pages that are meant for testing, I will abide by any editing restrictions, and I will not attempt to evade the abuse filter in any way. If I could have this one chance, I would really appreciate it. ApexAgunomu (talk) 12:13, 7 February 2023 (UTC)

Accept reason:

After consideration, I’ve decided allow a new start for you. Your block will be partially removed, allowimg you to edit your own user/user sub-pages only. If good behaviour is shown for 1 month after, you may place another unblock request here on your talk page. Please be aware that any further breaching of policies will result in an immediate reblock and it will be much more difficult to justify a 3rd block removal in the future. -Matttestzh (talk) 13:19, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

---

Unblocking administrator: Please check for active autoblocks on this user after accepting the unblock request.

Thank you very much, I will be sure to obey all the rules here and not try to evade the filter at all. ApexAgunomu (talk) 13:30, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

Protection Removal Request

Hi, would it be possible for someone to remove the protection on my userpage so I can edit it? Thank you!

 Done -Matttestzh (talk) 12:49, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

Third sitewide indefinite block

You have been blocked from editing For-Test Wiki indefinitely as a result of your disruptive edits. Please note that vandalism, spam, deliberate misinformation, privacy violations, personal attacks, legal threats, and repeated, blatant violations of our policies will not be tolerated.

I will not tolerate disruption after your several previous blocks, even inserting profanity into your user sub-page, as done here Justarandomamerican (talk) 20:52, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

I don't see how it was disruptive, considering I took it out right after I typed it. Maybe I shouldn't have put it there to begin with, and I will avoid any edits of those kinds in the future. But can I please be unblocked with the understanding that this should not happen again in the future? ApexAgunomu (talk) 21:03, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

@Matttestzh: ApexAgunomu has made several empty promises, which is why I am unwilling to unblock her at this time. What is your opinion on this, given the multiple times this has happened? Justarandomamerican (talk) 21:07, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

Hi again, just a note I'm a she. Second, shouldn't only stewards place serious blocks here? ApexAgunomu (talk) 21:09, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

As a Steward is not available, I am blocking you as an emergency precaution, and please do note TestWiki:Community portal, particularly your permissions request before your Indef sitewide block, asking for admin, and when you can get bureaucrat. I derive my authority to make this block from Matttestzh saying that bureaucrats have the ability to assist stewards. As a Steward is not available, they cannot make a block, and you have a history of doing this, see the section above titled "Final Warning", and were later indeffed for doing this despite your multiple warnings. Do note Matttestzh's unblock request comment, as well, saying any further breach of policy will result in an immediate reblock.Justarandomamerican (talk) 21:16, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

Also, I hold nothing against you, I am simply very reluctant to simply reinstate your previous partial block, given your history of insertion of profanity. If you convince either me or a Steward to unblock you, you must never insert profanity and always follow the spirit of every policy, or you risk being de facto banned because no reasonable person would unblock you. Sorry if my firmness here seems passive-aggressive, ApexAgunomu. Justarandomamerican (talk) 21:51, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

I can understand why you'd be reluctant to unblock me after my previous actions. However, I just think the block was a bit hasty considering I removed those words right after I put them in. If I am unblocked, I will never use profanity in any form again, and I will obey all the policies here. I guess we'll wait for Matt to decide what happens now. ApexAgunomu (talk) 22:30, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

The permission of editing your own user talk page is now revoked as another block removal is very unlikely. Please direct block appeal via contact info at TestWiki:Contact. -Matttestzh (talk) 12:55, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

Possible Sockpuppetry

To potential unblocking administrators, bureaucrats, or stewards, this user has abused multiple accounts based on clear behavioral evidence, is blocked on other projects, and has shown they lack the competence to edit here. For this reason, this block should only be removed by stewards. ✖ - (Talk • Contributions) 13:28, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

Support making this block removable only by stewards, as this is more a community integration issue, and is therefore subject to community consensus, since you are not a steward. This request wasn't wrong, of course, since I support it. We have reason to believe that Apex is unable to edit in a collaborative environment without causing disruption in one form. Justarandomamerican (talk) 13:43, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

What do you think about making this block only removable after a community discussion? ✖ - (Talk • Contributions) 14:06, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

I would support it, but since that entails a de facto CBAN, it requires broad discussion on the community portal. Justarandomamerican (talk) 14:10, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

 Done. See the Community portal. ✖ - (Talk • Contributions) 14:18, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

Reply from Apex About the Above Section

I acknowledge that I have had numerous behavioral issues here, which I definitely should work on improving. However, I have never made any other account here. I only have this account, ApexAgunomu, and even though it's blocked indefinitely, I will not make any extra accounts here. Also, I don't think it's necessary to turn my block into a community ban. I can understand the requirement that only a steward can lift my block, but I don't really think it's necessary for the whole community to get involved in any future block appeals of mine.

(Also, can my talk page access please be kept restored from now on so I can appeal in the future? I promise not to add anything unnecessary here. ApexAgunomu (talk) 15:46, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

 Copied to the community portal. Justarandomamerican (talk) 15:52, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

Support TP Access Restoration if anything unnecessary is added, I endorse the revocation of access. Zippybonzo (talk) 16:00, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

I also support the restoration of talk page access for appeals only after the CBAN discussion is over. After the discussion is over, if anything that is not an appeal is added, TPA should be revoked. Justarandomamerican (talk) 16:03, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

Note, as TPA has been temporarily restored, I have re-enabled the guidance filter as a precaution. Zippybonzo (talk) 16:07, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

Thank you. Apex, you are free to create an appeal that will be duly considered by the community or our only Steward (at the moment). Community consensus also provides you a chance to argue what restrictions will be placed on you if unblocked. Justarandomamerican (talk) 16:17, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

Request reason:

After some time away from test wikis in general, I feel that I can return to testing here and keep in mind that I need to abide by all the rules and policies here. I understand that I have been given numerous chances here, but I would like to show that I can work together with people on a wiki, and hopefully in the future it might help me in getting my Miraheze account unlocked. The community is free to discuss this, ask any questions, and if needed, impose any conditions on my unblock. Thank you.

Sockpuppetry?

Hello Apex,

Since you have been unblocked, can you honestly tell us if you have abused the accounts Denium, Bemium, Remun, and REAL ZIPPYBONZO? Because their first action was to unblock you, I think it probably was. Can you confirm this? I promise that your answer will not result in a block or a change in your restrictions, I am just curious. ✖ - (Talk • Contributions) 13:59, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi, I can promise you that I have not used any other accounts here except this one. I know I shouldn't disclose my full IP addresses, but if a checkuser wants to confirm my honesty, my ip addresses start with (Information redacted) I have not used any other IPs to edit this wiki. Hope this helps. Also, I don't know why they would unblock me, as I don't know anyone who goes by any of those names. ApexAgunomu (talk) 14:33, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

Okay, thanks for the clarification. I have oversighted the start of your IP so not all users can see it. ✖ - (Talk • Contributions) 15:43, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

Guidance filter

After due consideration, I have decided to make your abuse filter warn and tag instead of disallow. This will allow you to edit the permissions page since you were prevented from doing so recently. I remind you to follow all policies and that the crats will be closely watching. Just because it won't disallow it doesn't mean you should do it. ✖ - (Talk • Contributions) 19:27, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

Thanks, and I will continue to follow all of the rules here. ApexAgunomu (talk) 20:36, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

I have enabled the bureaucrat flag on your account. Please test and have fun with the rights, but don’t abuse them. ✖ - (Talk • Contributions) 10:08, 3 May 2023 (UTC)

Appeal Miraheze Ban

Hello ApexAgunomu,

You're behavior here shows that you can be trusted. I was wondering if you have ever joined https://testwiki.wiki ? It is another testwiki that, if you behave constructively, will help add to your reasons to be unblocked on Miraheze, which is something you have mentioned you want to do. If you join, I can grant you rights to test. ✖ - (Talk • Contributions) 12:54, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

Note: There is a blocked/banned account on testwiki.wiki by the name of Seiyena, which exhibits similar behavioral characteristics to that of Apex's past behavior. Justarandomamerican (talk) 16:28, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the suggestion, but sadly Justarandomamerican is correct: the account named Seiyena is mine, and last time I tried to appeal my block there, I was told that it wouldn't be lifted any time soon. So I guess I'll stick to working productively here. ApexAgunomu (talk) 16:37, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

I have allowed TPA on the Seiyena account. You may make an appeal there. ✖ - (Talk • Contributions) 16:39, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

Thank you. I hope that maybe this one will be successful. ApexAgunomu (talk) 19:01, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

If you make an appeal, I can review it. I will warn you that it will be harder to be trusted there than here given the greater level of abuse. ✖ - (Talk • Contributions) 19:16, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

I understand that it won't be as easy to be unblocked there, and I appreciate your being willing to review the block. Though since a steward, MacFan4000, was the one who originally blocked me, he might need to give his opinion before I can be unblocked. I don't know that for certain though. I'll post an appeal there in a bit when I have more time. ApexAgunomu (talk) 20:24, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

I look forward to seeing your appeal. I may or may not review it, depends on if a steward is active. I am glad that you have changed and I will try the best I can to help you reintegrate into your past communities. ✖ - (Talk • Contributions) 20:30, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

If you need Wikimedia assistance, I can help to reintegrate you there, though it may be harder. Zippybonzo (talk) 21:46, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

Thank you both, I really appreciate your offers. I am not sure about Wikimedia because I actually was granted an appeal of my global lock there in 2021 and unfortunately it failed. ApexAgunomu (talk) 22:27, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

You can always try again, right? I would ask ZB for help if you need it as it appears they are active on Wikimedia sites. ✖ - (Talk • Contributions) 23:01, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

Also, X, I just tried to edit my testwiki.wiki talk page and it wouldn't let me. Could you look into this matter please? ApexAgunomu (talk) 22:30, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

Should be fixed now. I have left a comment on the appeal. Let me know if you have any other issues. ✖ - (Talk • Contributions) 22:40, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

Steward rights request

Hello For-Test Wiki Bureaucrat,

I am writing to inform you that I have applied for steward rights on the community portal. I am not canvassing or asking you for support, merely informing you of the discussion if you want to give a !vote or ask a question.

Thanks, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) on behalf of X at 23:02, 12 May 2023 (UTC).

A recommendation

Hello, ApexAgunomu! I recommend creating content for either the Wikimedia projects or a Miraheze wiki in a sandbox page here, if you can. If you consistently do so, and demonstrate that in an unban/unblock/unlock request, it'll be more convincing, as whatever measures were necessary may not be necessary, as quality content shows proof of 2 things: 1. that you are competent to contribute without disrupting the platform as a whole, and 2. that you could make a difference as a contributor. Justarandomamerican (talk) 21:07, 14 May 2023 (UTC)

Thank you, that is a great idea! I'll try to find a wiki I can contribute something to, and see what new or improved information I can start preparing here. ApexAgunomu (talk) 21:15, 14 May 2023 (UTC)

That’s a great idea guys! ✖ - (Talk • Contributions) 21:45, 14 May 2023 (UTC)

Steward rights request - Zippybonzo

Hello For-Test Wiki Bureaucrats,

I am writing to inform you that Zippybonzo has opened a steward rights request. If you are available, please ask a question or !vote on the request on the community portal.

Thanks, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) on behalf of the Steward team.

Your post on the community portal

For future reference, if you have issues like the one about logging in, please don't request in a public place as it creates more work for the stewards. In the future, just email one of us with the information listed on TestWiki:Contact.

Thanks, ✖ - (Talk • Contributions) 12:01, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

All right, I will use the contact page next time. Piccadilly (talk) 12:31, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

2 things.

1. You may want to update your userpage.
2. Have you started writing content here for one of us to post on another wiki? ✖ - (Talk • Contributions) 17:59, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

I haven't yet found a wiki that I feel I would be a good contribuor to, but when I do, I'll start working on potential content here in my sandbox. Also, what updates should I make to my userpage? As far as I can tell, the info there seems to still be accurate. You're welsome to fix it yourself if you want. Piccadilly (talk) 19:05, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

Talk pages

Talk pages are considered non-test pages unless specified otherwise, but you may not have known that, so this is simply a statement to not test on talk pages. You may test on a talk page created specifically for the purpose of testing, or your own, however. Justarandomamerican (talk) 22:04, 25 May 2023 (UTC)

I was going to leave a similar comment. If you want to test, just use General test page instead of talk pages. ✖ - (Talk • Contributions) 22:06, 25 May 2023 (UTC)

Sorry about that, I will keep my tests off random talk pages. Piccadilly (talk) 01:05, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

Your recent edits have been identified as disruptive. Please be sure you are following our policies, especially the testing policy. Failure to do so may result in your permissions being revoked, or in extreme cases, your editing privileges being removed.

You have tested on a talk page after already being reminded not to do so. This is your last warning before sanctions may be imposed on you. Justarandomamerican (talk) 11:12, 28 May 2023 (UTC)

Partial block

You have been indefinitely partial blocked from all talk namespaces besides user talk. See reminder and warning. You have abused talk pages. Justarandomamerican (talk) 12:03, 28 May 2023 (UTC)

Did you mean to revoke sysop and cray to prevent unblocking? ✖ - (Talk • Contributions) 12:07, 28 May 2023 (UTC)

I'm sorry for not paying more attention to this matter. I promise to keep showing improved behavior here and not touch this block. Piccadilly (talk) 12:09, 28 May 2023 (UTC)

So much for that… I am very disappointed in you. ✖ - (Talk • Contributions) 10:36, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

User restrictions

Hello. After your block expires, I have decided that a request for the sysop rights must have steward or community approval to be granted.

Why did you modify your block after being told not to? ✖ - (Talk • Contributions) 18:20, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

About My Recent Actions

I know I should not have touched my partial block for any reason, especially after saying I would leave it alone. And I am sorry for not keeping my word. I do intend to keep up the improved behavior I have been showing in the past, and while I know my word may not mean much, I will do my best to show it with my actions when my block expires. And I do understand the reasoning for my user rights restriction. Piccadilly (talk) 18:24, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

Okay, but the block will stay. If I may ask, why did you unblock yourself after you said you wouldn’t? ✖ - (Talk • Contributions) 18:26, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

I was seeing if admins could unblock themselves. I intended to put the block back exactly as it was before and not touch it again when I was done. But like I said above, I should not have touched it to begin with. Piccadilly (talk) 18:28, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

I understand, but you’re correct that you shouldn’t have done it. I’ll shorten the block to 3 days, but be careful next time. ✖ - (Talk • Contributions) 18:31, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

Yes, I will definitely be careful in my actions here going forward . Piccadilly (talk) 18:33, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

I have changed your block from site wide to partial. Don’t abuse it. ✖ - (Talk • Contributions) 22:06, 30 May 2023 (UTC)

I won't abuse it in any way. When can I ask for my admin permissions back? Piccadilly (talk) 22:08, 30 May 2023 (UTC)

At anytime. The community must approve it on the community portal, though. ✖ - (Talk • Contributions) 22:18, 30 May 2023 (UTC)

When testing

When testing, please test on the appropriate pages. If testing categories, use the general test page, not random ones. Please acknowledge and you will be unblocked. ✖ - (Talk • Contributions) 01:28, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

Also: Apologies for the block, I admit it wasn't really the best or friendliest thing I could do, I'll try to use blocks as an absolute last resort to prevent disruption from now on. Justarandomamerican (talk) 01:33, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

Yes, blocks are meant to prevent ongoing disruption, not as punishments. ✖ - (Talk • Contributions) 01:36, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

I was attempting to do that, but there are other less stringent measures that can be used to prevent and deter disruption, which is why I was wrong to go straight to blocking. Justarandomamerican (talk) 01:39, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

I'll try to do the right tests on the right pages here. And thanks for being willing to unblock me. Piccadilly (talk) 02:15, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

Final warning before indefinite block

Your recent edits have been identified as disruptive. Please be sure you are following our policies, especially the testing policy. Failure to do so may result in your permissions being revoked, or in extreme cases, your editing privileges being removed.

You have continued to test on talk pages even after being repeatedly warned and blocked. If you do it again, you will be blocked indefinitely and your rights will be removed. Please stop. ✖ - (Talk • Contributions) 12:29, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

Blocked?

Hi, I am just wondering why I am blocked now. I know I shouldn't make random talk pages, but I thought the talk page for the general test page was okay. Since it's part of the general test page. Piccadilly (talk) 13:20, 2 June 2023 (UTC)

No. We have told you many times to not test on talk pages, and that they are meant for discussion related to that page. If you want to test deletion, use deletion test. I won’t remove the block, but once another steward comes online, we’ll discuss it on the private wiki. ✖ - (Talk • Contributions) 13:24, 2 June 2023 (UTC)

Can I please be unblocked?

I would really like to be unblocked here so I can continue testing, if possible. I am sorry for not heeding the numerous warnings I got about the talk pages; I thought that as long as I deleted them right afterwards, no real harm was being done. But I can see that I should have just obeyed the warnings and advice I was given. I will accept any conditions or partial blocks that might be imposed if I am unblocked, and I understand that this would be my last chance here.

Thank you. Piccadilly (talk) 11:25, 3 June 2023 (UTC)

Weak support unblock I would say that no harm has been done given you deleted them, but it shows up in recent changes and also takes up a small amount of server space each time. I would want conditions of, last warning, next time indef block, no TPA, no email, no anything, and it will be the last chance, with no other conditions assuming that this is the last chance.

On hold Pinging: @Justarandomamerican: and @Matttestzh: for comments. Or we can discuss on the private wiki. ✖ - (Talk • Contributions) 12:12, 3 June 2023 (UTC)

Block reduced to 1 week. Due to your history of disruption on this wiki, you will not get a further chance to be unblocked using promises alone, and you will have to prove your capacity to contribute to an encyclopedia positively and majorly if you wish to be unblocked in the future. You may be blocked for an indefinite duration by any sysop for any form of disruption, no matter the severity of it. Justarandomamerican (talk) 18:10, 3 June 2023 (UTC)

I understand. Thank you for this last chance. Piccadilly (talk) 19:10, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
