Contesting blocks

In cases where an account is making vandalism-only contributions, blocking indefinitely is appropriate; warnings are optional. If the blocked editor wishes to make legitimate contributions they can request an unblock and explain why they should be allowed to edit here in light of their past behavior. Editing wikipedia is a privileged, not an inherent right.--Isotope23 ^talk 15:40, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Whatever! There is a lot of abuse of power on this website and so I am going to keep monitoring what goes on here and reporting it Foofiles 15:43, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

It's nice that you're willing to assume good faith, but accounts that do nothing but vandalize in their first few edits are unlikely to change and blocks prevent further vandalism. If a user feels they were blocked unjustly, the unblock template serves to give them a chance to explain their actions. Leebo ^T/C 15:46, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Blocked

I'm sorry if you thought my comment at Wikipedia:Administrators noticeboard/Incidents was agressive and unnecessary, but I can assure you, that no offence was meant to you or anyone else. I do, however, think that one must see all sides of the story, for example the blocked vandal may have created inappropriate pages which were speedily deleted (as it happened, he/she did), and deleted pages do not show in Special:Contributions, however mass creation of bad pages is a call for a block, provided they have been warned correctly. Please do not take offence to this, I'm in no way saying you acted wrong, I was merely giving advice. Cheers, :) Qst 16:14, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
