[edit] User:Centrx

After User:Centrx merge wigger into List of ethnic slurs without consensus or any notices on the talkpage, I revert his edits and post a thread on his talkpage reprimanding his alledgely POV pushing and lack of good faith. He responded by vandalizing my userpage and talkpage, post unjustified warning [[1]] [[2]], engageed in personal attack ie. accusing me of mass POV pushing, as well as stalking in an area he was previously uninvolved in [[3]]. He User:Tjstrf and User:E. Sn0 =31337= repeatedly removed my joke banner on my userpage and talkpage [[4]] [[5]] [[6]] [[7]][[8]][[9]][[10]][[11]] [[12]]

[edit] Please breathe, everybody

People, please let Bonafide have his joke banner, for crying out loud, what is the big deal? It obviously means something to him, I don't understand how it can mean so much to the people who keep removing it. Please, now. As for removing warnings, he's allowed to, yes. Please stop putting them back. Please avoid obsessing about other people's userpages. See "User space harassment" in Wikipedia:Harassment, and several threads recently on WP:ANI, e. g. this and this. Notice the consensus.

As for you, Boney, take it easy, relax, walk away a little, would you. please? Don't let this userpage stuff upset you. Focus instead on the much more important matter of Centrx warnings. I hope you read those carefully before you removed them? If I were you, I wouldn't have removed them at all, since a) it's rude to do that, even though it's permitted, and b) they're about important stuff. They mean that you're close to getting blocked. Breathe, man. And would you stop saying everybody's vandalizing, already? You know what I think of that. (=It's a personal attack, plus it's a pretty dumb thing to say.) Bishonen | talk 23:47, 3 December 2006 (UTC).

I absolutely concur with Bishonen. Removal of warnings is discouraged, but permitted. It has been discussed several times. I might add that to put a one-second block in a user's block log because of removal of warnings is extremely inappropriate, and is of its nature a form of intimidation, regardless of the intentions of the admin.

Thanks sooo much, Bish. I was about to post on your talkpage to request help but since you're on an admin break, I decided against it. You know what? I'm hanging by a thread here on wiki, it's crazy how people who got problems with your edits will do anything possible to just like totally piss you off. IT's not like the joke banner is that big a deal, if they ask nicely saying they don't like it, I might remove it, who knows? As for the warning, Centrx accusation was pretty personal, since he move wigger into list of ethnic slurs without consensus and then I moved it back. He's obviously upset over that. Anyway, I've been on this site for over 10 months now. Maybe you're right. I just gotta chillax a bit. But yeah, the more people care about the banner, the more I'm determined to keep it...--Certified.Gangsta 23:53, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

I must agree. Removing this message from people's user and user talk pages is extremely inappropriate. Centrx has also taken it upon him/herself to remove it from other people's pages [17] calling it deceptive and juvenile [18]. Regardless of one's personal belief, it does not give somebody the right to remove content from a user page, especially without leaving a note on that person's talk page. Yes, these pages are open for anybody to edit, but it is common practice that these pages are given extreme leeway. It is common decency to notify somebody if you alter their user page. -- AuburnPilot^talk 23:59, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Which really has nothing to do with the issue of removing warnings. We allow it so that you don't have to keep warnings from vandals, not so that you can ignore the warning and keep on doing whatever. Removing a warning from an admin is imo particularly bad. --tjstrf talk 00:02, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

I don't necessarily disagree with removing warnings is bad, but it has been recently discussed that removing warnings is not a block-able offense. They are still in history. I believe the templates that warned users not to remove warnings were deleted because people decided it was more harassment than anything. I actually asked this very question on WP:ANB. Altering warnings is considered inappropriate, removing them no longer is. -- AuburnPilot^talk 00:08, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

I was under the impression that the decision went that, since warning removal was blockable as disruption anyway, the warn removal templates simply were redundant and being abused by bad-faith warners. --tjstrf talk 00:26, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Warning removal is not blockable as disruption. A very small minority of admins, unfortunately, do block for that, but they are not supported by the majority. The kind of harassment I see from the history of this talk page could in my opinion be seen as disruption. I have no idea if Certified.Gangsta is a good and productive editor or not, as I only came to this page from something I read on Bishonen's; but the constant edit warring with a user over something that was fairly harmless can only lead to bad feeling (and I say that as someone who hates that silly practical joke). If a user is putting fair use images on his user page, or inappropriate images that are designed to shock, or personal information about other users, then by all means revert him. Otherwise, please, everyone just get back to writing an encyclopaedia. AnnH ♫ 19:13, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the support. Page history is itself an archive.--Certified.Gangsta 00:14, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Then you won't mind me adding a permanent link to the conversation? --tjstrf talk 00:26, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

• CG, your one-second block is being discussed here on ANI in case you want to join in. Remember how you also got a rather clever appropriate one-second block once? Now you have one of each (one good, one bad). Bishonen | talk 21:38, 4 December 2006 (UTC).

Thanks Bish.--Certified.Gangsta 07:08, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 1 second block further discussion/interview

recent episode: The thread on AN/I seems to be closing, so where do we go from here? Is any permanent solution gonna be made? Is there anyway that the unjustified/too harsh 1 second block could be removed? Is Centrx willing to communicate and discuss on the page move? He really seems to be ignoring the issue right now.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Certified.Gangsta (talk • contribs) 07:09, 5 December 2006 (UTC).

Hello, Certifiable, I hope you saw my reply on my page, the revived WP:AN thread, and the blocking policy edit? Bishonen | talk 23:08, 10 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Fair use images in userspace

Hello Certified.Gangsta. I've removed the fair use image image:18682256.jpg from your user page, because this is not an acceptable use of fair use images. See also Wikipedia:fair use#Policy. Thanks for understanding. Picaroon9288 22:30, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification.--Certified.Gangsta 00:36, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
