User talk:Acbraughler

A few years ago, I decided to take a hiatus from editing Wikipedia. This was not without reason. Something horrible happened. I had a friend (who shall remain nameless for reasons that shall become obvious) who I wanted to coauthor and coedit Wikipedia pages with. I had not read the rules, and so I shared my username and password with him. He proceeded to vandalize numerous Wikipedia pages, insulted a number of well-respected users, and used a number of obscenities. Being naive and much younger than I am now, I allowed this to slide. Suffice it to say, I would make account after account, would share it, would be banned, and the cycle would continue on. Please do not associate me with this activity. I apologize for any damage I did to the wonderful community here on Wikipedia. I have since separated myself from individuals such as him, have read the Wikipedia rules, and intend to be a productive member of the community here on Wikipedia.

Multiple accounts

 * If your story is accurate then you will need to get your original account unblocked, then request a rename or permission to edit under a new name. If there is private information involved and you cannot request an unblock on your original talk page, I would suggest you appeal via Arbcom. You would need to fully disclose all of your previous accounts to them and explain why you will need to edit under a new username should an appeal be granted. Normally requests including private info would be directed to WP:UTRS, however the connection of your original account to your real life name, coupled with the sockpuppetry, makes this case a bit more complicated.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 17:10, 14 September 2018 (UTC)
