Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Titan submersible implosion. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. --Hammersoft (talk) 04:40, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

December 2023

Your account has been blocked indefinitely because your username is a clear violation of Wikipedia's username policy – it is obviously offensive, profane, violent, threatening, sexually explicit, disruptive, attacks or impersonates another person, or suggests that you do not intend to contribute positively to Wikipedia. Please see our blocking and username policies for more information.

We invite everyone to contribute constructively to Wikipedia, but users are not allowed to edit with accounts that have inappropriate usernames, and we do not tolerate 'bad faith' editing such as trolling or other disruptive behavior. If you believe that this block was incorrect or made in error, or would otherwise like to explain why you should be unblocked, you are welcome to appeal this block – read our guide to appealing blocks to understand more about unblock requests, and then add the following text to the bottom of your user talk page: {{unblock-un|new username|your reason here ~~~~}}

@Cullen328: my username is my last name, I don’t understand how it’s a problem? Can you please unblock me? Scathole (talk) 13:35, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

You will need to precisely follow the instructions in the block notice and file a properly formatted unblock request that will be reviewed by another administrator. Please explain your edit to Titan submersible implosion and be prepared to explain why my extensive Google search for use of "Scathole" as a surname produced no results. Cullen328 (talk) 17:59, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

@Cullen328: Ok, thank you Scathole (talk) 18:30, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

@Cullen328: What do you think would give me the best chance of getting unblocked? Scathole (talk) 18:32, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

Telling the truth. Cullen328 (talk) 18:35, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

@Cullen328: I think it’s very important for people to tell and live their truths, so I agree with that wholeheartedly. Scathole (talk) 18:37, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

@Cullen328: Also, I’m not surprised that you can’t find my name in the search engine. My family takes steps to protect our online privacy. Thank you. Scathole (talk) 18:36, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

Go ahead and file an unblock request that will be reviewed by another administrator. Cullen328 (talk) 18:43, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

@Cullen328: After compiling my thoughts, I intend to do this forthwith Scathole (talk) 18:45, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

@Cullen328: Will you put in a good word for me? Scathole (talk) 19:03, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

@Cullen328: Which admin do you think would be the most likely to unblock me? I really really want to start editing again. Scathole (talk) 19:18, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

@Cullen328: I’ll send you my appeal and you can give me feedback, does that sound ok? Scathole (talk) 19:50, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

No, your appeal will be considered by whichever administrator chooses to do so. Cullen328 (talk) 19:53, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

@Cullen328: I understand that, but what I’m saying is I will email you with a draft of my appeal, and you can give me feedback on what I should change to make it more likely I will be unblocked. Scathole (talk) 21:46, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

@Cullen328: Go ahead and check your email. Thanks Scathole (talk) 22:05, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

Your email

Please do not email me again. File an appeal, and another administrator will evaluate it again. Cullen328 (talk) 23:19, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

@Cullen328: I understand what you’re saying. So I’ll email you to follow up after I make the appeal? Scathole (talk) 00:11, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

No, do not email me again. The communication should take place here on Wikipedia, out in the open, and you will be dealing with another administrator from now on. Cullen328 (talk) 00:21, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

@Cullen328: I’ll make sure you’re included in all the correspondence. Thanks for your support. Scathole (talk) 02:38, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

@Cullen328: Also, I wanted to clarify that I wasn’t going to appeal to you by email. I just wanted you to be able to help me through the unblocking process. My appeal will be here on my talk page but we can coordinate by email. Scathole (talk) 02:40, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

Stop thinking about my opinion, and focus instead on what the reviewing administrator will think. Do not confuse the role of the blocking administrator (me) with the role of whatever administrator reviews your unblock request. Cullen328 (talk) 02:44, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

@Cullen328: Ah, I understand. You’re saying I should bring you into the appeal so you can vouch for me. Thanks! Scathole (talk) 03:58, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

No, I am not going to vouch for you, because I do not believe that you should be editing Wikipedia. File your appeal and stop pinging me. Cullen328 (talk) 04:05, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

@Cullen328: Thanks. Do you think I should mention that I am genderfluid and autistic in my appeal? My idea is that it would make me look better if Wikipedia is trying to be more diverse and representative of marginalized people. What are your thoughts? Scathole (talk) 04:09, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

I asked you to stop pinging me and now I must insist. File your own appeal without my advice. Cullen328 (talk) 04:34, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

@Cullen328: Do you think I should wait for a few days or just file it now? I really really want to start editing again but I know I shouldn’t be impatient or I could risk my chances. Scathole (talk) 13:05, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

Scathole, Cullen has twiced asked you to stop pinging them, yet you insist on continuing to do so. If you do so again, I will block your talk page access since you are abusing the privilege. Either follow the instructions above for adding {{unblock-un|new username|your reason here ~~~~}} to this talk page as a valid unblock request, or your talk page access will be revoked. Similarly, if you abuse your ability to email, that access will be revoked as well. Do not ping me, do not email me, do not ping Cullen, do not email Cullen. Consider this a final warning. --Hammersoft (talk) 19:19, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

@Hammersoft and Cullen328: ok, I will refrain from pinging or emailing either of you until I file my appeal and I’ll ping you both there so you can support me if there are concerns. Scathole (talk) 05:43, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

@Hammersoft and Cullen328: Please confirm, thank you. Scathole (talk) 12:29, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

@Hammersoft and Cullen328: Can one of you please add {{User:Ninjalemming/userbox/IQ|122}} to my user page? I seem to be unable due to being blocked. Scathole (talk) 12:39, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

Since you've chosen to continue to abuse your talk page privileges, they've been removed. If you do so with email, that will be removed as well. This ends. Now. --Hammersoft (talk) 13:38, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
