 * Your attitude towards the people who have tried to help leaves a lot to be desired. ST47 (talk) 19:35, 15 February 2020 (UTC)


 * There's nothing wrong with the process. The block is necessary to prevent extensive vandalism and block evasion, even though it does affect innocent people. We said that you were not directly blocked- as in your account itself was not blocked, not that you weren't blocked at all.  We could not help until you provided the entire message with its IP address, as you did above.   A CheckUser needs to examine this block before you can be given an exemption. 331dot (talk) 10:23, 16 February 2020 (UTC)


 * this is a CU block of yours, so can you look at it and see whether you think there is justification for some change, such as IP block exemption or making the block anon-only?
 * Ggggt years ago I was once prevented from editing by an IP block which was no fault of mine. That was, of course, very frustrating, just as this block must be for you. However, I didn't rant on about how unreasonable the blocking administrator was, or how foul the blocking process was. I accepted that, unpleasant though it was for me, the block was necessary to prevent damage to the encyclopaedia, and unfortunately there is no way of blocking IP addresses without sometimes causing collateral damage to innocent bystanders.

 * It is a fair criticism that my tone was unhelpful. I contend the information is opaque and logic flawed. I accept you are consistent with your procedures and values. I can wait until the block expires. Eppur si muove Ggggt (talk) 19:27, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I certainly don't think that either the blocking process or the unblocking process is perfect, in several ways, including lack of clarity in some of teh information presented to blocked editors. However, as far as your situation is concerned, my impresssion is that you probably are genuinely suffering collateral damage from a block that is nothing to do with you, in which case something should be done to enable you to edit again; perhaps temporary IP block exemption. However, only a CheckUser is allowed to deal with a CheckUser block, and I am not one, so the best I can do is to ask a CheckUser to look at the block. As you can see above, I asked Berean Hunter, the administrator/CheckUser who placed the block, to look at it, but I now see that he has not edited for several weeks, so waiting for him may take a long time., I see that you have been editing recently, so would you be willing to look into this?

 * I bet if edited now, they would discover that they are no longer blocked; their most recent edit shows their IP has changed and is no longer in the blocked range. --jpgordon&#x1d122;&#x1d106; &#x1D110;&#x1d107; 17:20, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks, . If I'd known you were going to come along I wouldn't have pinged Ponyo. Sorry, Ponyo.
 * Ggggt, in view of what Jpgordon has said I am closing your unblock request, to prevent further administrators from wasting time coming here to check a request that is no longer relevant. However, if you find you are still unable to edit then please restore the unblock request. JBW (talk) 17:29, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
