Archive unblock requests 2011

 * Time has indeed moved on, can you just confirm, for the record, that you have not been editing here at all since your previous unblock request.  Ron h jones  (Talk) 12:53, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Why should we trust you this time, given that you've been given a second chance already? I remember unblocking you before, that did us no good. -- Luk  talk 12:54, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

I have been editing at my own Wiki which is here: http://samwiki.wikkii.com/wiki/Main_Page

This shows that I can make constructive edits and I am no longer a vandal.--Samlaptop 13:00, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

For what it's worth... last week I blocked an IP sock of Sam at Simple English Wikipedia. Looking at that IP's global contributions, it appears he was editing here as well. Additionally, the "Sam's Wiki" that he links to showing that he can make "constructive edits" is little more than a playground, not a productive, collaborative wiki. either way (talk) 13:29, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Yeah. At least i have been making constructive contributions and when my account is unblocked I'll be able to improve on articles that I know a lot about.--Samlaptop 13:40, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
 * So you're saying the fact that you sockpuppeted (even though you promised in your previous unblock requests you'd never do that again and even though you were blocked for sockpuppeting in the past) shows that you can be constructive? You need to get a clue.  I don't think flaunting "I broke the rules but broke them constructively" is a good argument to be making when requesting an unblock (especially after our last unblock of you failed miserably).  either way (talk) 13:55, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Well this time, I know that it's perfectly wrong to vandalise and I wiil not fail misserably this time. I do have good knowledge in games and electronic games and there are several games such as Loopz that I can create an article about.--Samlaptop 16:33, 31 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Well you have failed miserably, as no one seems prepared to unblock a prolific socker. You only route is now is to e-mail as suggested by User:Fastily above, or appeal to the ArbCom - Appealing_a_block. Frankly IPv6, where we can all have one static IP address won't come soon enough...  Ron h jones (Talk) 22:00, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Ordinarily I would happily give a 2nd chance, but that's already been given, albeit long ago. Can you give examples of constructive edits you would make? Other admins need not hesitate due to my reticence, should they desire to accept/decline. Dlohcierekim (talk) 10:47, 30 July 2019 (UTC)


 * Pinging User:Dlohcierekim just in case you missed this --kingboyk (talk) 01:05, 1 August 2019 (UTC)

Hi Dlochierekim. Here are some examples I like to change to the Bop It article. I have managed to find some references for each new Bop It game that has been released since Bop It Tetris in 2013.

Bop It!
In 2008, Hasbro secured the copyrights to the instructions for Bop It!. At the 2009 London Toy Fair, Hasbro allowed attendees to try out Bop It!. Bop It! has a new optional input "Shout It", which requires a player to shout into the microphone. The Bop It! has three difficulty levels: "Novice", using only voice commands, "Expert", using a random mix of voice and sound commands, and "Master", calling out voice, sound, and color commands. If the player scores 100 points in either of the less difficult modes, the next most difficult mode is unlocked. Players that achieve a score of 100 points in "Master" mode are considered to have beaten the game. Hasbro also added a multi-player game called "Party" where all the Bop It commands are replaced with body parts like "foot", "hip", and "arm". Bop It! requires 3 AAA batteries to operate.

Bop-It! Bounce
After securing the copyrights to the instructions in 2009, Hasbro made announcements regarding the newest member of the Bop It game line, entitled ''Bop-It! Bounce'' during the 2010 Hasbro Toy Fair. This toy features a ball and a small hand-held trampoline. There are six games that may be played on ''Bop It! Bounce'' including three games that emphasize the speed or number of bounces and three games that emphasize the player's ability to control the height of the bounces.
 * Max Bounce - Players compete to achieve the greatest number of bounces in 30 seconds.
 * Infinite Bounce - Players compete to achieve the greatest number of bounces without a time limit.
 * Hang Time - Players compete to bounce the ball the highest.
 * Right Height - The player must listen to vocal cues from the Bop It! Bounce, calling for higher or lower bounces until the correct height is achieved when a chime sounds.
 * Little-Middle-Big - As with Right Height, the player must listen to vocal cues from the Bop It! Bounce calling for bounces of "big" height, "middle" height, or "little" height.
 * Free Form - The toy produces different tones as the ball bounces to different heights.

Bop It! XT
In 2010, the instructions for the ''Bop It! XT'' were copyrighted. The ''Bop It! XT is the fourth edition of Bop It Extreme'' with the same commands but adding a new command, "Shake It". Also, "Spin It" is now orange. The game was demonstrated at the London Toy Fair and was released in 2011. The ''Bop It! XT is based on the gameplay of the Bop It!'' and returns the "One on One" mode and adds the new Pro level. In order to beat ''Bop-It! XT'', the player is given a set of three commands to remember and must perform them in order with a mix of voice, sound and color commands 100 times.

Bop-It! Smash
In 2012, Hasbro introduced Bop-It! Smash at the New York Toy Fair. Bop-It! Smash features color changing lights in a central area called "The Zone". Players score by "smashing" two Bop-It! buttons together when a zone light is either green or blue. Bop-It! Smash has 3 various game modes: Solo, Pass It and Multi-player.

In Solo mode, the player scores five points for smashing a blue light and one point for smashing the green. If the player smashes the amber light, the voice will say "Yow!" (followed by a negative comment such as: "Try harder!") and a game life will be deducted. After 4 rounds, the level is completed and a Bonus Round will begin. The player can get 5 or more bonus points. During a level (except bonus rounds) the player can earn a life back if they smash another blue light after smashing an amber. In the Pass It mode, the player has three attempts to try and smash a green or a blue. If they smash an orange light 3 times, then the game is over. In the Multi-player mode, up to 6 players can play. The winner is the last one surviving after all other players have lost all their lives.

Bop It! Tetris
In January 2013 The Tetris Company have announced that they have signed a deal with Hasbro to make some real life Tetris themed games with their brands. In August 2013, Hasbro launched a Jenga themed version of Tetris and a Bop It themed version of Tetris. It features a "Marathon" mode and additional modes based around different gameplay styles (Blast, Double Drop and Shuffle). In the Marathon mode, the player can take advantage of the bonus rounds to score over 800 points. The highest score achieved so far is 860.

The highest score in Classic is 263 and the highest score in the DJ mode is 147 if played in the Expert level in the DJ Party mode. The game also has a Remix mode on which you can play any action sound effect you want on the turntable of the game.

Blocked
That's it, you are done. You were warned about your continued violations of WP:COPYRIGHT and WP:FAIRUSE. I told you to stop immediately. You agreed. Then... again, another upload, another violation of WP:COPYRIGHT and WP:FAIRUSE. Enough. Your block history is littered with blocks for your disruptive behaviour, followed by unblocks after you promise to stop. This has been going on for more than a decade. WP:GAB will tell you how to contest this block, but please understand that I don't expect any unblock request to be successful at this point. --Yamla (talk) 21:09, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

No I don’t want to be blocked just for uploading files. All I wanted to do was to upload samples to show the meaning of the article. I would like to help make constructive edits to Wikipedia and upload images of handheld games without violating the policies here on Wikipedia.Samtastic 08:20, 14 December 2019 (UTC)
 * You were warned. You agreed to stop. You broke your agreement. This isn't the first time. Or the second, or the third, or the fourth. If you want to be unblocked, you know how to make a request. I strongly oppose lifting this block. Also, it looks like you engaged in block evasion as . --Yamla (talk) 12:44, 14 December 2019 (UTC)
