I don't understand why you reinstated talk page access for this puppet account and removed access for the master account. I read the user's request, and it doesn't state the basis for the request. Normally, it's precisely the opposite, meaning we force the sock to restrict their requests or discussion of the block to the master account because otherwise it gives the false impression that the two accounts are different individuals. That might be okay when the puppet is suspected, but this puppet was confirmed by NativeForeigner in May of this year.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:17, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
- Does it matter? They have a preference of account from which to apply for an unblock, let them have a preference (like for like). It is documented in several places what is going on, so no false impressions. It will be resolved by UTRS, and they can take whichever action they so choose. Don't prejudge an appeal, let it take its place. CU is CU, it is not exacting and is part art and part science. — billinghurst sDrewth 13:34, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
- I don't object to an appeal. Perhaps I'm missing something, but I don't see why talk page access is necessary to use UTRS.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:23, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
- You restored talk page access so the sock could post this comment? Meh.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:06, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
- How is that a problem? I would think that it is a good indicator to anyone reviewing an unblock request. I didn't judge the appeal, and if someone wants to look foolish on their talk page, good luck to them, it is only a back corner user talk page. — billinghurst sDrewth 10:47, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
- At the end of the day it doesn't really bother me. So long as it's consistent between unblock requests. NativeForeigner Talk 01:40, 14 November 2014 (UTC)
