Hello IP. I understand that just from looking at my user page, it appears that I'm trying to block evade. However, there's a lot of context to my situation. Please see this talk page of my IP and you will see me describe my full situation to Prolog, who said I should just create a new account. He is an administrator, and has been one for 16 years, so I followed his advice. SmokeSomeDrinkSomePopOne (talk) 23:43, 29 August 2023 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments
I blocked RitualRites as a vandalism-only account in October 2022. The user recently appealed under their IP address and stated they no longer have access to that account, to their original good-hand account or to the block-evading sock they admitted to creating in February. The appeal looked good to me, so I advised the user to create a new account if they wish to contribute constructively, effectively accepting their unblock request.
