Not sure if you have my page watchlisted

I won't yet, as I am going to assume good faith, but I do have a strange feeling about this. 声 援  --  The   Hyb  rid  21:54, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

At the moment I would like to keep as much info to my self as I can until I do some basic investigation. It is nothing that anyone will notice, or that will affect you. Don't worry, 声  援  --  The   Hyb  rid  22:01, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Well, you aren't who I was thinking of. Now, how did you find my RfA? 声 援  --  The   Hyb  rid  22:11, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

How did you "just find it"? RfAs are fairly obscure. Did you click on a link somewhere? If so, where? 声 援  --  The   Hyb  rid  22:25, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Can't....

 * I have no idea what you are talking about. --Yamla 22:25, 27 February 2007 (UTC)


 * That username is too close to User:Can't sleep, clown will eat me. Prodego  talk  22:36, 27 February 2007 (UTC)


 * There are very long odds that that user would pick that name without knowing about CSCWEM, and that account probably is only going to be used to attack him. Therefore, it was blocked. Prodego  talk  22:40, 27 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes, but this account was properly blocked because it is too close the CSCWEM's name. It therefore is a probably attack/impersonation account. For more common names we are more lenient, but that is a very distinctive name, unlikely ever to be picked. Prodego  talk  22:47, 27 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes, but there will be problems with the name, due to its similarity to CSCWEM. That user can just create an account under a new, better name, and can edit that way. Prodego  talk  22:51, 27 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Low, the threat is that the account will be blocked due to the name again. Prodego  talk  22:56, 27 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Highly doubtful. I suggest you contact the blocking admin, which is Persian Poet Gal. Prodego  talk  23:11, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Unfortunately User:Can'tEatClownsWillSleepWithMe is way too similar to User:Can't sleep, clown will eat me. Registering a name very similar to another username is considered inappropriate because it could easily be confused with said contributor or be considered as an impersonation account; even if the intent was not malicious, (see this part of the WP:U policy). Its considered very uncontroversial to block such names on sight. I had a spoofer once called User:Perpan poe pal. One could argue to assume good faith yet it was also blocked for being an impersonation account due to the similarity in its reading. However, it is very considerate of you to remind how important it is to assume good faith and not be too quick to fire any trigger buttons when dealing with new users. In this case though, I believe it was safer to follow WP:U and block the account for direct impersonation.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 23:42, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

unblock
I don't see anything on your block log...were you autoblocked? Please provide the block message you are currently seeing.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 23:43, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, it was an autoblock. I see that now. Hunted by A.K.G. 23:44, 27 February 2007 (UTC)


 * You need to tell us the block message, or we can't unblock you. Prodego  talk  23:45, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

here it is

 * I notice this, and that you two posted unblock messages 2 minutes apart. The IP is static. Is "Ivebenndead5000years" someone using the same internet connection as you, probably right now? Prodego  talk  23:51, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

I use a local wireless network with one address. Once before, when the kid up the street used it, I was autoblocked. I used to edit as an anon. Hunted by A.K.G. 23:53, 27 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I suggest you secure that network then. Unfortunately the probability of sockpuppetry is too high for me to feel comfortable unblocking. Note that the block will expire in 24 hours though, and any other admin can make a different decision. Therefore, I am leaving the template up. Prodego  talk  23:58, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

I am not an administrator, and as such, can't close RFCNs. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 02:15, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
