Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism. Thank you. — MShabazz Talk/Stalk 02:36, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because your account is being used only for vandalism. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice:. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 03:37, 1 February 2015 (UTC) --UTRSBot (talk) 12:33, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

Note, you are not permitted to blank previously declined unblock requests while your block is active. --Yamla (talk) 17:04, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

Please stop giving me petty reasons for not unblocking, I've gone around in circles with emailing and all sorts, just to get this years-old block taken off, there's no need for all this "please try again.." business. If you read carefully, I haven't threatened block evasion. For the final time can we please act like adults and allow me to edit Wikipedia.
 * Really ? "As I would be able to make edits using a proxy anyway" = block evasion. -  FlightTime  ( open channel ) 17:20, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

Yes but for crying out loud, that isn't a threat, it's an appeal to your sense of LOGIC - i.e. if I can edit the pages anyway, then why not let me do it legitimately? For crying out loud, I'm a normal decent human being, and you guys are acting like gods by pushing me back a step each time I ask to be unblocked. Can we please get some perspective, instead of turning this into a debate over semantics. Also, I have been honest, I didn't deny anything, I owned up to what I did, but you mods are looking for reasons to decline me. I hope one of you will see through the power trips going on here, and for the 5th time accept my unblock request. Thank you.
 * If you want to have any chance of success with a new unblock request, I strongly suggest you change your tone and drop the continuing bad faith accusations. Your editing was predominantly vandalism, the block was a good one, you have *not* addressed the totality of your vandalism, and you are not going to get unblocked by making these demands in the way you are doing. In fact, if you continue with your attacks on other volunteers, you are going to lose your ability to edit this talk page too Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 17:39, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

The only reason you're sensing a bad tone is because I've been trying to do this for ages and I keep being declined, but without a decent reason, other than admins misunderstanding what I've written. If I didn't admit the full extent of vandalism it's because it was years ago and I don't even remember. I edited a euro rap group's page which is why I was blocked. This was a long time ago, and since then in my communication here and via email, I've explained calmly that I did make those edits and have no intention of doing anything similar now. I have explained that I was not making any threats. It sounds like I am expected to break down and beg or something, but we are all adults here and I'm not sure why everyone reading this is acting so hostile and defensive. I don't deny the block was a good one, but years have passed and that's why I am requesting to be unblocked so things can get back to normal. I'm not here to upset volunteers or to get into any kind of arguments. I have explained myself, I have asked in a civil way to be unblocked, and I don't know what else I can do as the power is all in your hands. I have already been through this via email and my block was apparently revoked. I should not have called the original blocker 'grumpy'. Please for the last time, can an admin see what is going on here and just let me edit, as otherwise I would consider this to be very unjust and unfair. Thank you
 * Let's look at a few things here...
 * You have been trying to get unblocked for ages? Special:Contributions/Eclef shows everything you have done with this account, and I see no edits whatsoever from the day you were blocked until today. So can you explain why all these alleged previous attempts to get unblock aren't showing? (I see evidence of one contact with WP:UTRS, but that was the wrong venue, as I expect they told you).
 * "I edited a euro rap group's page which is why I was blocked" is not correct. This edit was in August 2014, and you were not blocked until your later spate of vandalism on 1 Feb 2015. The reason for the block was your multiple acts of vandalism.
 * "If I didn't admit the full extent of vandalism it's because it was years ago and I don't even remember" - I've shown you where to find it, so go check it and you'll understand why we're not swallowing the "It was just one little joke" routine.
 * "I have asked in a civil way to be unblocked ... I should not have called the original blocker grumpy". You think that was civil and that the "grumpy" is your only attack? What about "over-zealous" and "really quite pathetic"? And how about accusing us of "acting so hostile and defensive", of "giving me petty reasons for not unblocking", of "power trips", of "acting like gods"?
 * You are the one who turned up here with a shitty attitude, and your two unblock requests had absolutely no chance of being accepted - and that's your failing, not ours. If you want to try one more time to get yourself unblocked, post a proper unblock request (so that another independent admin can review it), and in it address *all* of your vandalism (you know where to find it to refresh your memory). And drop the attitude - you've started to moderate it in this latest comment, so you're nearly there. Actually, as one final suggestion, you sound a bit pissed off right now, so how about sleeping on it and thinking about what I'm saying here, and then come back tomorrow and try again?
