Wiki's dispute resolution process is fucked-up. The whole wiki community is fucked-up. The problem is those who participate. At all levels, we allow the unqualified too much voice. We allow an endless revolving door of returning bad actors. Who's winning, really? The idiots, the trolls. They love it when they get the serious to turn on each other. As Jimmy said, we have been too tolerant, for too long, of toxic personalities (and no, I'm not endorsing it re Bish;). But toxic personalities are a problem. It's fatal. It's not just Grawp, Chester Markel, and the other usual prats; it's those that are inside, may have clean block logs, but are still "toxic" (cf: assholes). Some have been made "admins", some made it to higher levels, too, i.e. the old-guard. The restrictions the AC has imposed on me for years—and intend to maintain in perpetuity—make it impossible for me to continue to effectively participate in this project. The little shits, and the big shits, target me. A clean start is not open to me ('restricted') and, as Iri confidentially pointed out to Malleus, clean starts require you to effectively create a new personality... which is effectively the same thing as socking. What a fucked-up project. I've defiantly edited as a bunch of socks and as various IPs because the renewed restriction on me is bullshit; I'm just pissing on it. I spent years abiding by all they asked, was commended for a clean return, and then kicked in the teeth. Fuck that. If they can't bring themselves to ever resolve my case, I will. When I sought removal of the old restrictions, my intent was simply to reach the level of any user in good standing. My request that my old accounts be returned to me amounted to a desire to be made whole, again. Since they've taken all viable options off the table, I'm going to flaunt all their rules. That doesn't mean I'm a vandal, or going to speak in multiple voices in discussions ;> The edits I've made with undisclosed accounts are good and useful. The wiki is entering a totalitarian stage. They're now making it even harder for users to return (although I believe some should never' return; Ottava, for example). No one that gets entangled with "GovCom" is ever going to emerge un-neutered. My advice is don't bother trying to abide, just move on, either to a new account, or to something else. The meta-picture is that for years the trolls and vandals have encouraged a "fight" culture and it's become ambient. Most energy now is directed at dealing with disputes of one sort or another. It's been quite peacful editing with undisclosed accounts; much like the project was back in 2004. Not terribly viable, of course. Huge numbers of The Hounds of Zaroff infest this place; it's all hunting real people to them. Target shooting, with live targets, some of whom are pilloried.
