banned means banned, Don't they understand how sick they really are? Options

[mbz1]

If you don't want people googlestalking to find your page still it's probably best to ask to get your user name removed from the image descriptions too, and you can probably ask for the account name to be changed -- when you look in the history of the page it is all still there, you need them to do wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:REVDEL

I could ask for the account name to be changed, but it will not be granted. Banned users are not not allowed to change the name of the account. Besides it will be something like RTV, and IMO it will be kind of cowardly of me to ask for this.It will be as recognizing I've done something wrong, and want to hide behind a new name. And I have done nothing wrong. I am proud of what I have done, and if I knew in advance what wikisickos will do to me, I would have done it anyway.

Changing the name on my images... Well, it could be done even by myself. I am not blocked on Commons, at least not yet, but there are a thousand or so images. I have neither time nor strength to do it.

So, if everything that is left from my contributions on wikipedia is that badge of shame at my user page, so it be.

The only thinks that saddens me sometime is that even after I die, my Wikipedia user page will still have that template.

I miss Moulton. This calls for an Ozymandias parody.

You can do it ask one of the bot people politely - wikipedia.org/wiki/User:JaGa seems a nice guy he runs the hugebig disambiguation one

and yeah........ I don't think it's really worth a parody tho, more poignant

IN Egypt's sandy silence, all alone,
Stands a gigantic Leg, which far off throws
The only shadow that the Desert knows:—
"I am great OZYMANDIAS," saith the stone,
"The King of Kings; this mighty City shows
"The wonders of my hand."— The City's gone,—
Nought but the Leg remaining to disclose
The site of this forgotten Babylon.

We wonder,—and some Hunter may express
Wonder like ours, when thro' the wilderness
Where London stood, holding the Wolf in chace,
He meets some fragment huge, and stops to guess
What powerful but unrecorded race
Once dwelt in that annihilated place.
– Horace Smith.

Looks to me more like a stone monument to Jimbo Wales...."sorry, we tried to crowdsource the design, and this is what they made...."

Hopefully mbz1 is feeling a little better by now.

I must have missed that, arg. Wow I hope so, yeah.

They did get the template off her page, but I still think they should revdelete really, and remove the links to the banned profile from the images uploaded (I mean, if they're not deleted, they're positive contributions so there's no reason for there to be a big "this user got banned" statement a click away), it should be a matter of process for bots to do that when they ban someone under a real name probably, I dunno. Then again it kinda shows how messed up the system is that people who otherwise make huge contributions like her photography did get banned because of all the political drama that gets in the way and sucks people in.

All my contributions were positive contributions only, and exposing a bully admin who bullied a 16 years old kid to the extend he wanted to commit a suicide was the most positive of all.

I emailed Jimbo and asked him to remove the template not only from my user page, but from user pages of another banned/blocked editors. In particular I mentioned Ottava Rima, Proofreader77 and Will Beback. I told Jimbo that these templates "demonstrate to the whole world that Wikipedia is an insane place." In my particular situation I did not mind the template, but I minded it was linked to a lynch mob's lynching. Sickos who banned me lied about me, and I hated these lies to be linked to from my user page.

[Ottava]

A few days ago I told my friend that, when a user is banned from wikipedia, his user page is replaced with banned user template. She looked at me, and asked "why?" I was not able to explain to her "why" because a normal person will never be able to understand it anyway.

Even before I was banned, I observed how a "little shit" Daedalus969 (T-C-L-K-R-D) and other "little shits" were doing this, but today a sitting arbitrator AGK (T-C-L-K-R-D) did it too:
"banned means banned; barnstars, and his actual userpage, are in the history"
Why, AGK, did you do it? What is wrong, if below the banned user template there would be barnstars? What are you afraid of? Don't you understand how sick it looks to normal people?

And suddenly I realized that "the banned user template" is the only thing I'd like to be associated with me in the insane asylum that calls "wikipedia" http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?titl...0&oldid=3513926.

My objection in this case was to the use of an invented barnstar gallery. The banned template was not replaced or added above Will Beback's previous userpage.

I see you circumvented your English Wikipedia block by adding a message on my Meta talk page. Please stop using other Wikimedia websites to participate in Wikipedia, at least until you're willing to act in that project's benefit.

By the by, I may be a sitting arbitrator, but I was inactive on the TimidGuy case and I played no part in the decision-making process for the case.

AGK - on the matter - how do you feel about people editing my user page about TFAs, notices of FAs, DYKs, etc? Not "barnstars" of course but things dealing with content.

And technically, anyone can post on any other WMF wiki and you can't say no. Just because they are banned on en does not make them banned elsewhere. One of Meta's founding principles was to allow for people to still communicate when there were no other options (especially no neutral ones). You'll find a lot of backlash from communities like de if you tried to change that on Meta.

No, not really, somebody just emailed me this link, in which sicko tarc mentioned me in a thread about pedophiles!
It will never stop. I have been lynched more than a month ago, but sickos will never stop spreading their sick lies about me. I do not know how low these sickos could get knowing that a human being they torture cannot even respond!

Ah I misunderstood that at first, but I get where you're coming from, he's saying the administrators were acting abusively by letting you appeal. What...

I just looked at Tarc's reply you linked there, and he is actually supporting you if you read carefully! "{{u|Mbz1}}'s RfC shenanigans at Meta, where Meta admins long uses to their cozy corner didn't like having a spotlight shined on their activities. Here, we have a collection of administrators and users who are used to doing things their own way and don't like the rest of us poking in."

No matter how I read it, it is attacking me and compares my situation to the situation of pedophiles, and their situation is better than mine, and it is what really makes me sick to my stomach.

Pedophiles are dangerous for the kids, but bullies with administrative tools are too.
I am Proud of my rfc. If I knew in advance, what sickos from govcom and sickos from drama boards would have done to me, I would have still submitted that rfc anyway , but it is hard to be lied about over, and over, and over again.

BTW the person, who emailed me the link called that link an irony, and it really is. Here's they explained why:

Tarc (who first nominated your RfC to be deleted on 7 Feb)
is saying on Jimbo's page (in the context of "Child protection")
that some people are sweeping things under the rug.

And what was your last information about Gwen Gale?
that she was bullying a minor - causing emotional harm.


Of course Tarc wants THAT swept under the rug.

So, the point isn't that someone is saying something bad about Mbz1.
The point is that the idiot saying something bad about Mbz1
is missing the point ...

Hence the irony.

And the bottom line that WMF wants to do nothing about either pedophiles, editing their sites, or about sick bullies with administrative tools, or about hard porno. They left to deal with these issues to anonymous volunteers!

Back to the topic of the thread this user who used to be an admin on a few wiki projects asked to lock his account himself. Nowhere, and I mean nowhere his user page was replaced with misleading template except of course English wikipedia, where a little shit Night Ranger  (T-C-L-K-R-D) did it.
This template is unneeded. Maybe somebody will be kind enough to undo the grave dancing.

Well I guess you don't have him to worry about any more. He just ragequit when someone removed the banned templates he'd been putting on user pages.

Mbz1, instead of moaning about the long since IDd Gwen Gale and your bans, why not join others in identifying Wikiland's administrators? That's the only thing that ever moves them. You can accomplish much more by accepting that you're on the outside and running with that. It means you have the freedom to act without regard to Wiki norms and power structures.

This is even stranger and This one is too Ah, I see, it was a reaction to somebody threatening to take a favorite toy of the sicko away:

Please stop adding tags to blocked users. It helps no one, and can cause problems. In particular, don't add tags that are incorrect, but even tags that are technically correct, like the one you added to [[User:DeFacto]], are not helpful. --[[User:Floquenbeam|Floquenbeam]] ([[User talk:Floquenbeam|talk]]) 01:45, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

What does "IDd" means? And what do you mean under identifying Wikiland's administrators? Thanks.
