 * , your new appeal does not appear to address the concern mentioned in the previous decline. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 03:01, 21 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Okay, that does indeed alleviate my "no relations" concern; I'm sorry for not having believed your explanation before. I hope the initial thought is understandable ("how would an entirely unconnected person have known about the video and the channel in the first place"). So you have randomly stumbled upon a relatively unknown website and decided to share the hidden gem with the world. Where else than Wikipedia would be the best place for doing so, of course. The idea is understandable, yet incorrect, since Wikipedia is not for promotion and the volunteer encyclopedia community is averse to spam.
 * Let's put all the "relations"/"no relations" questions aside. What remains is an account that has been used solely, from the first minute after its creation to today, for promoting a website – this even extends in a lesser way to the unblock request.
 * I won't be the reviewing administrator of the new appeal, but I'd like to make a recommendation:
 * Accepting that the block was necessary to enforce the community's policies and guidelines, even if you disagree with them
 * Agreeing not to continue similar behavior, and especially agreeing never to edit Wikipedia about that specific website or channel again, even if you don't really like this agreement
 * Providing examples for edits you would like to make in the future, proving that the block currently prevents contributions that the community actually considers to be useful.
 * If you manage to do that, even if it seems to be completely unfair, there is likely no reason to keep up the block. The block is meant to prevent further disruption, not to change your mind.
 * Best regards, ~ ToBeFree (talk) 03:41, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
