 * Please reconsider the above


 * For a start I was not "repeatedly spamming established users", this would imply I was leaving many welcome templates on the talk page of a single user, and then repeated this act for a large number of established users. I did not do this, and if you actually check my contributions you will find that I posted the occasion welcome message on the talk page of an editor who had not received one before in between welcoming new users. This act was merely to spread the warmth of the project and was intended as a nice gesture, if you check the archives it was generally received well, and only one user came close to complaining (and this was in a very cryptic message left on another user's page).


 * The person who "warned" me had already jumped the gun and wrongly blocked me as a sock and was providing advice which was contrary to the general feeling I was getting from users who had actually gotten a template. I think I could be forgiven if I did not hold her caution in the highest regard


 * I did not "blatantly ignored that block", the block was a wrongful block implying I was a sock puppet, it had nothing to do with posting welcome templates


 * Again I was not spamming templates, a quick count reveals that I posted 68 templates to new users and only 12 in a nice gesture towards established users, of these 3 appreciated it, 1 gave a slight indication that it was not welcome (although no issue was raised with me) and others were reverted under the wrongful premise of trolling before their users could respond. Given this track record I believe one can only hold my edits in good faith


 * How can I make constructive edits to the mainspace if I'm blocked???


 * I think it is quite clear that an admin needs to take these factors into account before jumping on the bandwagon WelcomeMachine 10:30, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
