Final Message to Wikipedia admins
Note: This is my opinion. Nothing more.

Why is it that editors who have actually changed their ways and learnt from their past mistakes get banned from this site? Let's say a dumb kid who was 15 vandalises Wikipedia because he's a dumb kid, people do dumb stuff at that age. And now let's say he's 22 now and is editing according to the rules, but is banned because a connection is found to that 7 year old account despite the fact that this was many years ago? I think it's disgraceful that people who have truly changed their ways get banned. The standard offer I don't think is the best way of resolving situations like this. If an account has a clean history years later, what's the point in punishing them? Yes, ban accounts who are still actively breaking the rules, but not the people who have changed their ways. Now I tried to reform. I did decide to vandalise Wikipedia 6 years ago on an old account. But recently I got banned for this connection after I had to admit it. I don't understand on what planet this makes sense. Wikipedia is not a good place for people like that. It only turns away legitimate editors in this situation. I won't be returning to Wikipedia after this, as I find this kind of behaviour wrong and unacceptable. Wikipedia isn't what it used to be. I tried to make a committed effort to good edits, but it never worked. So I take my leave. I hope Wikipedia reforms soon, and listens to its users once in a while. This is a great project with great people, I just wish it wasn't so hostile to it's ex-prisoners.

Thanks, Undisclosed Editor

PS. Why would you ever throw people who have done their time back in jail? That's makes no sense to me. Update: Then just censoring unblock requests isn't going to help anyone. Talk page access was revoked so I can't even appeal. Man screw this website. I'm glad I've quit.
