From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I am getting an error page that I cannot edit anymore because some admin named Majorly decided that I am a troll. The text which accompanies this says that I may not have actually done something troll like, but perhaps someone in my IP address range did.

So I'm supposed to politely I guess contact this Majorly fellow and kindly beseech him to de-trollify me or explain his sweeping gatekeeping of my suspect Ip range, except that since the software has decided my username is bad and I'm a bad person, I'm not allowed to email this Majorly dude.

I have no idea what the troll like complaint involves, so I can't really respond to that assertion. I also can't contact my accuser, Majorly, since that feature has been denied to me as well while I'm blocked.

Forgive me if my tone is a bit peevish, but this is really annoying and about as transparent as the TSA's "no fly" lists.

Since I can't do the first step of contacting Majorly, who did not bother to contact me at the time he decided I was a troll, I am taking the next step of appealing to a few of his nameless peers in the hopes that you can help me.

This blocked user (block log | autoblocks | rangeblocks | unblock | contribs | deleted contribs) has asked to be unblocked, but an administrator has reviewed and declined this request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock request while you are blocked.

Request reason: "Since I can't do the first step of contacting Majorly, who did not bother to contact me at the time he decided I was a troll, I am taking the next step of appealing to a few of his nameless peers in the hopes that you can help me."

Decline reason: "Edits like this show clear evidence that you are a troll. — Yamla 01:27, 2 November 2007 (UTC)"

Thank you for the update, and for responding, but I am not a troll despite the ONE edit you found which appears to suggest that. The post in question, probably an exercise in bad judgment, was actually part of a discussion about Wikipedia in which a TV journalist did a report to show how Wiki could be edited. So a lot of people then went on to her page to do similar things and show how they were largely self correcting, and the meaning of that, etc. I think you will find my other edits unexceptional, so I think a lifetime ban for this one transgression is excessive.

Yamla: I'd like to continue this discussion, do you read edits to this page here, since I can't email you directly as a blocked user or add to your talk page. Is there any way to continue this discussion, since other admins can't override your denial apparently.
