User talk:Devin Michael

Block
Right. Firstly, blocks are preventative, not punitive, and "indefinite" does not mean "forever". But you are going to need to make a few adjustments before you are unblocked. To begin with, you are going to need to suggest a new username, one which reflects you as an individual, not as a bot, and definitely not as a group or organisation. You can check the one you'd like against this list to make sure it's not already taken, and put it within this template on your talk page: You are also going to need to stop sending unsolicited messages en masse to dozens of users, because they're not going to find it endearing.

 * Thank you. I have decided to change my name to "Devin Michael", which is my more private middle name. Devbot (talk) 05:31, 14 June 2012 (UTC)


 * You'll need to explain something: you were advised more than once to stop canvassing/spamming. You appear to have removed at least one of those warnings, and simply ignored the others, then spammed another dozen or so.  On what planet is this appropriate?

 * I was never advised to stop doing anything. The only person who I had any kind of interaction with was user "WilliamH" and he and I responded back and forth about the article, but he didn't even say anything to me about spam.  To be honest I am quite confused by the whole thing.  Devbot (talk) 12:02, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

I don't bite
Your posts are considered spam here but I can see why you attempted it. I used to deliver resumes to every electrical contractor in town to get work. The one that hired me first called it something similar to spam and I responded that it worked because he hired me. There are many notice boards like the Tea House and help desk that can help you find editors. You should only post in 1-2 of those or they will chew you for cross posting. As to the name change, could the spelling be changed a little? DevBaught, DevBought, DevBaut, etc? I don't know if the case matters, but DevBoT may be acceptable. When I first saw JimboOnline say something to me it scared the heck out of me, but it was allowed.--Canoe1967 (talk) 21:15, 12 June 2012 (UTC)


 * I am fine with using my real name "Devin Fleenor" on here, it makes sense to me. I am also willing to be FAR more conservative with posting requests for help on here - I appreciate your candor.  Devbot (talk) 21:33, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you, and welcome to wikipedia.--Canoe1967 (talk) 08:43, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
