User talk:Obvioustroll

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Obvioustroll (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

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.

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Final note - the IP block was manually released about 18 hours later. Porkchop 12:04, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
