User talk:Dreamerforever

Blocked
If you wish to contribute to Wikiversity, that would be welcome, and your status on other projects is not relevant. However, you may not use Wikiversity as a platform from which to attack other WMF projects or users, see. I have accordingly indef blocked you. If you wish to request unblock, please request it here. Some Wikiversity users -- including myself -- are banned on Wikipedia. So what? You will be judged here based on your behavior here. And the same is true for the user you attacked. --Abd 00:43, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Too late now, but Abd probably misread Dreamerforever' edit because Dreamerforever didn't put quotation marks around the quotation. Adding the comment to the user page instead of talk page may have made it look worse. Abd took a slight glimpse and banned. 135.0.167.2 (discuss) 17:15, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
 * I did indef block, a relatively rare action for me. Re-reading the triggering edits, I would still defend the action. The comment was classic disruption. It would have been inappropriate on the user talk page as well, it is simply worse on the user page. It's not an attempt to communicate with the user, but to attack the user, to impugn his intelligence and integrity. It has nothing to do with quotes.
 * This is not Wikipedia, and this is not the place to complain about Wikipedia. It is disruptive. There are places and contexts where Wikipedia itself can be studied here. The user page of a Wikipedia administrator is not one of them.
 * This editor was, then, a vandalism-only account. As it is, the editor had nothing invested in the account, just as the IP has nothing invested in a drive-by comment.
 * It was pointed out that the user would be welcome on Wikiversity, even if banned elsewhere. Had the user requested unblock, it would have been considered, and the user advised further about how to proceed. If the user did not know how to appeal the block, they would only have had to ask, and I'd have assisted further. The user was not banned here, but only blocked indef, which does not mean "forever." It means until something else happens. The user, from the description of the admin's behavior is considered banned on Wikipedia.
 * So, more of the story, I do not know if I investigated then.
 * Dreamerforever, as an SUL account, has only edited here and on en.wikipedia.
 * Dreamerforever was hard-blocked on 14 October, 2011, for ban evasion, referring to Simulation12, and saying "confirmed by checkuser." There is no checkuser report, but MuZemike is a checkuser himself, and this user effectively acknowledges ban evasion, for the user wrote in the cited edit
 * But over at the English wikipedia He keeps blocking people for no reason on every time I edit. If I try to edit, within a day or even an hour or two I am blocked every time by this same idiot. He blocks people and does not give any reason.
 * Dreamerforever is acknowledging being blocked by the same administrator. But MuZemike only blocked Dreamerforever once. Therefore Dreamerforever has edited with other accounts, which were blocked, and Dreamerforever then registered a new account and edited. That is called "block evasion," as a minimum, but if the alleged original account is banned, so it is then called "ban evasion." Block evasion is sufficient reason to block. I called the Wikipedia block "hard," because talk page and email access were shut off. However, an editor can still appeal in other ways.
 * Dreamerforever, here, acknowledges interchanges that did not happen with Dreamerforever, they must have happened with a former account, and the user gave us no clue where to look. If the admin wrote what Dreamerforever alleges, it would be a problem, though not our problem here.
 * Let's give Dreamerforever the benefit of the doubt. Suppose Dreamerforever is not Simulation12, that someone made a mistake with one of the former accounts, and is not simply replicating the error. Dreamerforever is not following procedure for handling errors like this, but is instead attacking the administrator who very likely had good reason to block by this point, if not before.
 * Now, there is something interesting here. Simulation12, when indef blocked (Simulation12 is not actually banned, MuZemike was not using the word carefully), claimed to be 7 years old in 2009, 6 when first editing. Very young editors often get blocked for vandalism or other inappropriate behavior. It is a shame that the editor did not appeal here. About 9 at the time, roughly, we could have guided him to becoming a useful editor, if the personality issues were not too severe. Obviously, he didn't try to edit his user talk page here, upon being blocked. Basically, he barged in yelling and was told to shut up. Did this user ever learn? Maybe. He'd be about 12 now. Could be a Wikipedia administrator, or started doing something useful. --Abd (discuss • contribs) 22:15, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
