I would also like to request my account be wiped of the contributions that caused it to be banned if my account was to be made active again. I would make another username but I'd really like to keep this one if at all possible. All responses will be greatly appreciated. Thank you again.

We can't divest your account of its contributions- though most editors will realize that they were many years ago and that people change. Personally I might need to hear out what other admins think should happen here(I have some thoughts, but want to hear others) but I am curious as to why you waited almost four years to make your intial appeal and why you decided to lie in that appeal, if you remember. 331dot (talk) 20:16, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

Concerning the amount of time that passed before my first appeal, it was most likely that all those years ago I had no intention of contributing positively so I just left it alone. I lied because I thought that the only way to get the ban lifted was to make it seem like I didn't do it. I've done a lot of growing up since then. I appreciate everyone taking the time to respond and for letting me back into the community. --Soad2237 (talk) 00:37, 4 June 2021 (UTC)


 * My opinion, loosely held, is that more than enough time has passed since the initial block. I'm inclined to support an unblock request here. I'm not the same person I was in 2008 and I very much understand Soad2237 claiming the same thing. Normally I'd refuse to unblock under WP:COMPROMISED, but given the specific edits in question here, I'm inclined to believe the above explanation, too. But alternatively, if you (331dot) support an unblock, the block could be changed to allow account creation and then they could create a new account and disclose as per WP:SOCK that it's a new account. --Yamla (talk) 10:55, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I was kinda thinking that. Soad2237, would you be okay with the block being changed to permit you to create a new account? 331dot (talk) 14:20, 1 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Just to note that I don't believe this account was compromised, so I'm happy to support either an as-is unblock or just authorising the editor to create a new account Nosebagbear (talk) 16:09, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
