You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abuse of editing privileges. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:. --Vsmith (talk) 01:23, 8 October 2017 (UTC) --UTRSBot (talk) 15:22, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

Unblock me

 * Declined unblock requests cannot be removed while the sanctions are in place. If you continue to blank the declined UTRS appeal your talk page access will be revoked.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 00:27, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

That unblock request wasn't declined. This can be determined by the fact that it is highlighted grey instead of red. The request clearly says that the review was closed, not declined. As the administrator explained to me in an email, he wanted me to redo the request since I used the Unblock Ticket Request System even though my request contained no personal information. At the time I was unaware that was a requirement to use the system. If it is still a problem for me to remove it then please tell me so, and I won't do it again.Just A Regular New Yorker (talk) 00:35, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

Help Me
I have been warned that if I attempt to remove my first unblock request from my talk page, I will be blocked from editing my talk page for trying to remove a denied unblock request while I am still blocked. This confuses me because the unblock request I tried to remove wasn't denied. As an administrator explained to me in an email, he wanted me to redo it due to reasons that I was unaware about when I made the request. This is evident since the request is highlighted gray, not red and it says the request was "closed" not "declined". Has a mistake been made, or am I misunderstanding something?
 * Since regular users can't see the content of your UTRS request and are missing context, I've changed the help request template to instead of . Hope that's cool with you. Best,  AdA&D  03:27, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
 * The reason unblock templates need to be left in place when they concern an active block is because later reviewing administrators need to be able to see what the blocked user has previously said in their appeals, and what information has been previously given to the blocked user. Removing the UTRS template, even though it is closed, makes it harder for admins who are reviewing any future unblock requests to see what has already transpired with regards to the block. Therefore, please do not remove the UTRS template from your talkpage; the appeal, although closed with no action, is nonetheless part of the unblock process and needs to be available to future reviewers.

I am a blocked user who wants to use the standard offer to get unblocked. Do I need to do something to initiate the offer, or do I simply wait six months without sockpuppetry or block evasion and then submit a standard unblock request?Just A Regular New Yorker (talk) 00:54, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
 * The latter. Just wait six months, and then file an unblcok request as before (stating, when you do so, that you would like to take the Standard Offer). Other than that, there's nothing special that needs to be done. The six months start from your last edit, so you'll be eligible to request unblock under the Offer any time after April 19, 2018.

Just Saying Hi
Hi, Jarny. You can probably figure to who this is. I'm allowed to use a talk page like this, right? I hope so, Admins. If not, know that I don't mean to break any rules.

Block
Unblocked - play nice now :) Vsmith (talk) 16:12, 20 April 2018 (UTC)

A cup of coffee for you!
