OTRS access

Could you please explain why you no longer have OTRS access? Ryan Postlethwaite^{See the mess I've created or let's have banter} 13:01, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

It was removed by Cary Bass. He informed me he had recieved an email - he did not say who from - advising him that a) I was a Wikipedia Review user, and b) was engaged in harassment on that site. The first fact is wholly correct, the second fact is wholly false. I sent subsequent emails to Cary asking for further details - such as a link to this purported harassment - in a bid to clear this up. I never recieved a response, and after the second or third time of asking, as well as leaving a note on his meta talk page (also ignored), gave up. That kind of dismissive non-response is something I would never provide were I elected to the Arbitration Committee - I know how frustrating it is. fish&karate 00:09, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for taking the time to answer that question. I must admit I've never seen you being involved in harassment on WR, although I'm not a huge fan of potential arbs having banter with some of the people on there - There's more genuine people to befriend than some of the guys over there (don't get me wrong, many are fine foke with genuine concerns, but IMO the site is let down by the few that are disgruntled and merely trolling). Anyway, I wasn't aware of the exact history with that but it's given me something to think about - I actually thought it was a lot worse than that, but I see it was only minor.
