Regarding Your Recent Contributions

Welcome, ?!?! I noticed that you placed a vote on Wikipedia:Deletion review/Userbox debates. Participation in the community is encouraged, of course, but your status as a brand new user means that your vote might not be counted. Please understand that this is a common practice on Wikipedia, and that it is necessary to prevent deliberate misuse of our voting systems. Straw polls on Wikipedia are meant to measure community consensus, and should not necessarily be taken as literal one-member one-vote voting. However, please do make further contributions to Wikipedia, and express your opinion on policy matters.

Thanks for your concern. I am not a brand new user - I have edited anonymously for months. I was told that I could not add comments to the DRV without signing them, so I did. I believe that DRV is not about votes it is about process. And the speedy deletions of userboxes are an abuse of process. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by ?!? (talk • contribs) .

Yes, however your IP also has relatively few contributions: 70.213.229.55 (talk · contribs). I agree that many of these speedies were an abuse of process, but new voter submissions are typically not "counted" to limit sockpuppet ballot stuffing. Sorry for the inconvenience, but that's just the way it is. AmiDaniel (Talk) 05:01, 4 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am not chattel to be counted. I am to be heard - because I am saying something important. Not a matter of convenience - a matter of conscience. --?!? 05:06, 4 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also, this account is most likely going to be blocked for having an unsuitable username as soon as this disruption block expires, so I would encourage "?!?" to get an account with an actual name. --Cyde Weys 05:27, 4 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Luckily though, thanks to the inappropriate username I've found a bug in WP:VandalProof. It's unable to render "%3F%21%3F" correctly, something about more than two special characters in a row. Yay! More work for me to do! Thanks lol. AmiDaniel (Talk) 05:39, 4 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Glad to be able to help.. please don't block me. I am just a newbie, and I like my name. --?!? 04:54, 23 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
