You have new messages (last change).

This blocked user (block log | autoblocks | unblock | contribs) asked to be unblocked, but one or more administrators has reviewed and declined this request. Other administrators can also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy). This unblock request continues to be visible. Do not replace this message with another unblock request.

Request reason: " Since no reason was given for the block, and I was blocked within 90 seconds of registering, consider me mildly pissed off."

Decline reason: "This appears to be the same person as the ObviousTroll user on Hulver's site, who has posted a diary about being blocked on Wikipedia here. They are not a troll on that site. Unfortunately, what may be a valid username on others sites is not appropriate on Wikipedia. See Wikipedia:Username#Inappropriate_usernames. You are most welcome to contribute to Wikipedia under a more appropriate name."

Administrators: This template should be removed when the block has expired, or after 2 days in the case of blocks of 1 week or longer.

Right.

Because you should always judge people *before* they have a chance to do something.

I particularly like the way: a) no warning is given before blocking that a name is in appropriate, b) no reference to "inappropriate name list" was given by the blocker and c) my attempts to re-register with a different name are also blocked.

I'm sorry, but this is a stupid way to work. If nothing else, the lack of a warning guarantees yourself a stream of angry, annoyed, former potential contributors. --Obvious Troll 10:30, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

I can't find any record of an autoblock preventing you from creating a new name. I know this does happen, and I'd clear it if I could. It may be that I can't find it because it's already expired, and I see you made an edit under the new name you refer to at Husi, so I guess you're good to go.-gadfium 19:32, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
Final note - the IP block was manually released about 18 hours later. Porkchop 12:04, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
