 * Ok, I've removed the autoblock, I'd probably have let the name through but I guess the blocking admin thought it was inappropriate, I have a gweat fwiend in wome.... --pgk( talk ) 17:33, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Ok, thanks. I guess that fwiend didn't wank high enough :-)Raymond Luxury Yacht 17:38, 4 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Well as the username policy says "Fairly or unfairly, the line between acceptable and unacceptable user names is drawn by those who find the username inappropriate, not by the creator of the name". --pgk( talk ) 18:55, 4 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Yes, it seems so, but that same policy also says "Co-operative contributors should normally just be made aware of our policy via a post on their talk page. Voluntary changes (via Wikipedia:Changing username) are preferred: users from other countries and/or age groups may make mistakes about choosing names -- immediate blocking or listing on RfC could scare off new users acting in good faith."

I would have changed my name with just such a notice, but now I'm not even allowed to ask why this happened. They are accusing me of trolling, which I don't even really know what means.Raymond Luxury Yacht 01:51, 5 August 2006 (UTC)


 * You weren't an active contributor at the time, it was blocked on creation as inappropriate, if someone believe it to be inappropriate enough that is the standard course of action. The reference to trolling is that you seem to want to make a big issue out of nothing, you've a new account now and nothing to stop you becoming a useful contributor. --pgk( talk ) 09:00, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Exept a bad feeeling, beeing nice doesn't cost anything. An answer such as you just provided would have been perfectly acceptable, as a beginner I didn't know that blocking wasn't such a drastic measure. But don't you agree that they as sysops could have been more tolerant and polite, and not just answer my requests for dialogue with "I'm not going to debate this with you, here or by email.". After all, as long as I'm doing it in a polite manner, what harm do I cause by just talking? Now I feel like I have been harassed and abused here, by two people that should be acting like role models. The other one even has a sign "This user helps beginners".Raymond Luxury Yacht 10:06, 5 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Unfortuntely we get 1000's of users created per day and many are just to bait people, provoke a reaction etc. etc. experience suggests that most people are understanding of the reasons we block inappropriate names and simply move onto their new account and continue to edit the encyclopaedia, those who spend time trying to argue about why their name should be considered acceptable aren't really that interested in adding to the encyclopaedia merely seeking some sort of attention. That is a broad generalisations for sure, but with 1000s of new accounts be day there is a certain inevitability to that. I suggest the best course of action is to ignore the past, get on with contributing to the encyclopaedia and demonstrate your worth to the project under any user name. --pgk( talk ) 10:49, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

User desires to leave the wikipedia community...Raymond Luxury Yacht 00:58, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry to hear that, we don't delete user talk pages nor accounts when people choose to leave, of course this will still be here if you change your mind and any point in the future. --pgk( talk ) 08:21, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
