This account was blocked for pedophilia-related disruption. In particular, the creation of userboxes to self-identify as a pedophile was unacceptable. Dmcdevit·t 00:56, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
- This account has been unblocked because a permanent block strikes me as a serious over-reaction. --Carnildo (talk) 18:14, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

- I have reblocked. Direct questions to the arbcom. Matthew Brown (Morven) (T:C) 21:30, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
- Unless I'm missing some evidence here, this was a overreaction and a poor show of Wikipedia's self-regulation. At worst the templates violated WP:SOAP, and, to be honest, I've seen worse. The escalation of this into an arbitrated permanent ban is unreasonable and unfair. I see no grounds for it.
- I had hoped that even if the user was a pedophile, there would be a more forceful reaction against this. Nevertheless, I really can't blame everyone, because apparently paper-thin connections to pedophilia are enough to expel them from the project indefinitely. --Estemi (talk) 00:46, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
I wonder what that "fight" would have entailed. *** It is alarming that the Arbitration Committee still permits Carnildo to continue act so irresponsibly (trumping its new policy, him of all people), without according it even a single word of warning, or any other consequence. *** Therefore, I will be appealing to reopen the Arbitration case (preferably publicly) in the immediate future.

- I've just been informed that the AC has already reopened the case privately (which might actually be for the best), as per these concerns. El_C 22:31, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
