== Page ban vacated ==

Hey, Bugs, just letting you know that, after the AN discussion, and after reviewing the close myself, I've decided to vacate your page ban from the Reference Desk, given the lack of apparent consensus for them in the original discussion. Keep in mind that the interaction ban between you, Medeis, and TRM is still in force.

Hi, Bugs. Those don't all look that heinous to me, it varies. But some do. If I'd seen 54.224.35.46 's stuff in late December, I wouldn't have hesitated to block. Even more so with 54.224.206.154 on December 31 (and I'd have given Onorem a rocket too.) Too late now.The more recent stuff, like 54.196.70.85's contributions, tends to be more harmless, unless there's some damning context there that I'm missing.
No doubt it's likely that the harassment all comes from one individual, or maybe a bunch of chums. I'd certainly consider blocking the whole range, if it were possible, but it isn't; it's huge. Can't be done. Or not by me, maybe by someone able to subdivide it into several manageable little ranges. Please feel free to alert me if you see similarly offensive trolling anywhere. If it's fresh, I can at least whack a mole, not that that'll probably be much use. Bishonen | talk 02:32, 20 January 2014 (UTC).[reply]
Thank you for looking into this. So far, about all I can do is try to raise awareness. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots03:10, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
