And it's Derek Coetzee for
the win!
QUOTE
I was the one who unblocked the user. At the time I was not aware of the evidence Geni presented in this thread, and although I don't think it's grounds for an immediate block, I think it is a concern when the user attempts to directly modify draft policies to reflect their views, etc. In light of their conflict of interest, I would advice them to stick to discussion pages when involved in policy discussions related to child pornography, and to avoid linking offsite resources related to advocacy. I have no problem with them participating in relevant deletion requests, since DRs are closed by admins and a user's opinion there is weighed only according to its merit (and moreover, their opinions expressed thus far in DRs have been consistent with policy and the law). I believe if the user continues to be conscientious about acting in accordance with policy and the law, the need to block them will not arise. However, we should keep an eye on them, and warn them promptly if they begin to engage in any form of advocacy. Dcoetzee (talk) 21:54, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
I was going to bold the ridiculous parts, but that didn't leave anything unbolded.
Also, the same information that Geni posted in that thread was posted on Beta M's talk page under the heading "I have been blocked" when Coetzee unblocked him, so I don't know how he could have missed it. I wonder what alerted Coetzee to the block in the first place, since there was no unblock request posted. Perhaps a friendly Commons admin might tell us what Russavia revdeleted from the page. The edit summary was "chat log"...
Here's what the perfume salesman deleted.
I am also from Russia. What i am not doing is i'm not distributing child pornography, i am distributing [[Special:ListFiles/Beta_M|diagrams and photos]]. Apparently the admin didn't know how to check this. [[User:Beta_M|VolodyA! V Anarhist]] <small>Beta_M</small> ([[User talk:Beta_M|converse]]) 03:23, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

<Anarhist> hi, ppl, i'm being accused by an admin of distributing (or having distributed) child pornography, and thus blocked
<Anarhist> the admin sent me a link to the article talking about a person who's distributed child porn and said that it's me
<Anarhist> i want to know what to do now
<Anarhist>
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Beta_M my talk page
<Anarhist> i have contacted the newspaper, which has published the article, explaining the situation that it's used in this way.. but of course, i doubt that they'll do much. i've only asked for a clarification to be posted about how common this name is
<Anarhist> my name is in fact similar
<geniice> so your argument is that it isn't you?
<Dcoetzee> Anarhist: Are you stating it isn't you?
<Anarhist> i think that's what i just said
<geniice> Someone with the name VolodyA! V. Mozhenkov has anarchist views here and claims to be in prision (Federal Correctional Institution Elkton):
<geniice>
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/psy-op/message/2544?var=1 <geniice> A Vladimir Mozhenkov was in prision at that point
<geniice>
http://www.bop.gov/iloc2/InmateFinderServl...429-046&x=0&y=0 <geniice> A Vladimir Mozhenkov was convicted of downloading child pornography back in 2000.
<Dcoetzee> I'll unblock. This is stupid anyway. :-)
<geniice>
http://sptimes.ru/index.php?action_id=2&story_id=13283 <russavia> do you have evidence that this them geniice?
<Anarhist> i've read the article
<Dcoetzee> Anyone is entitled to participate in any deletion request discussion, even if it was that guy.
<russavia> if not, it is a bosh block
<geniice> russavia see what I posted
<Dcoetzee> Anarhist: Moreover, your DR !vote was correct and was the ultimate result of consensus
<Dcoetzee> Anarhist: Which makes me find the block even stranger.
<russavia> where is the on commons reasoning for the block?
<Dcoetzee> I am unblocking now.
<Anarhist> thanks.

<Anarhist> geniice, did i do something to you?
<Anarhist> i have gotten in my share of arguments, so i may have forgotten your nick
<Anarhist> if that makes you feel better, you aren't the first person to find that article, and i was banned from two forums due to it
<Anarhist> most people have managed to see through it very quickly, however.
