another wiki, not an account created for the sole purpose of causing trouble and insulting people. At the very least, I suggest the indefinite block should be turned into a definite block (say, a week), or overturned completely. But the best thing to do might be to wait for Neil to comment, because I would like to see a note in the unblock log to the effect that the account was too new to properly judge whether the contributions might improve (ie. "No good contributions" is excessive), and that the allegation of creating an account to attack others is not sustainable when you look at the creation history. It was created by someone arriving here from another wiki over a year ago.

did not intend to be a personal attack. Sorry if it was taken that way. P.S.- I remember someone (I believe it was Neil) citing my message on an anon's talk page against me because of my comment "I'm looking into your identity.". There's a misunderstanding here. I used to write for a school newspaper and I was doing research on a school computer (not logged in). I found that the IP of the computer I was using had done some bad edits in the past. I decided to write an article about it and also attempt to find who was vandalizing the pages- since it was someone at my school- I never meant it as a stalker-type thing. Sorry if it was taken that way...

notice better. I was still considering how to answer Mets post on my talk page (where they say that their question has already been answered - so why did you ask then?) when I saw that Mets had been indeffed. I am a little surprised at the severity of the response to Mets' actions - but that is being discussed extensivley elsewhere by others ;) I would support removal of Mets block, perhaps with some kind of a warning.

Guys, sorry for any trouble I caused. I just started using my Knowledge account recently. When I read about the secret mailing list fiasco- I wanted to know the truth- so, not knowing that it was decided (for whatever reason) to stop pestering Durova with questions- I asked a simple question- which I

As far as the news article goes, (almost) everything is on the public record here and you can find and decide for yourself the truth and un-truth of all the statements therein. It is not as easy as asking a simple question, for sure, but I guess you have the time while we wait for the blocking admin

It's bad form for us to simply undo an admin's block and he's offline now so please be patient. Your best bet in the future is to contribute to the encyclopedia content more, and make off-color comments and poke your head into touchy situations less. Hopefully you realize that now and this can be

Hi Metsguy234. I'd like to apologise for how all this was handled. I see that you have experience on another wiki. Let me know if you need a hand finding out how things work around here. If you reply here, the first step would be to work through the loose ends from what you said, and correct your

Anyway, as I'm sure you know, Knowledge is a very large place, so keep reading and help out with editing where you think you can. 870:
I have informed Carcharoth (or any other admin) that if they want to unblock you and take responsibility for your actions, they are free to do so. I hope if they do, you will respect the above editors' good faith in you and behave from now on.

Yeah, I said some pretty dumb stuff that I shouldn't have said. I know how a wiki works (Wikihow)- but does Knowledge have any totally different policies? If so, can you please tell me the important ones?
