User talk:Kimberton

RE: Local Ban Appeal
Now I have submitted this already to Staff but this user is evading bans and has been doing so for a long time. He will come back and fixate on a couple of articles and when nobody agrees with him he will spam the same stuff over and over and then edit the same aticles over and over. He is disruptive and won't leave things alone. Now, we have Bleach Wiki:Blocking Policy clearly laid out for him and he has been told multiple multiple times to leave issues alone. Now he's creating accoutns to add the same spam to peoples pages because we have the pages he's targetting, locked. He is making more work for us, deliberately so when we are in the middle of trying to get new things working on the Wiki as the Series recently came back. Even since message you, hes created more accounts. User:Newbirth2 (added the same message to a user wall again) and User:Sidya Touré. Sorry it's not enough to "want" to contribute to a Wiki, when someones conributions cause more work because he can't cite his work or because he wants his opinion added or because he can't accept that there are policies that everyne is beholden by, it's not fair to just let him run wild. I have already submitted about this user to Staff because he's now making socks to post on a single users wall when said user wants to move on and actually allowed me to lock his page (discussion in Discord) because he will not stop. Hope this helps.


 * What SunXia and everyone else said, Kimberton. While I may have developed a phobia of dealing with Staff members ever since one of you blatantly abused their power over me, I refuse to let a fellow, productive editor on this wiki be the victim of unfair accusations and harassment by a known sockpuppeteer. If you have an issue with SunXia doing her job and enforcing our wiki rules, you have a problem with me as well. Also, might I say that I find it extremely unprofessional that you, a STAFF MEMBER, does not~bother to sign your posts. Timjer (talk) 19:24, 30 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Hey Tim, it's ok, I know this is a trigger after certain things happened but the guy reported me to staff and it's their job just to see if it was abuse or not, he's just asking. The user looks like he has been Globalled. Fingers crossed this is the last of it.


 * You're right, Sun. My brain knows that Kimberton is just doing her job and investigating a claim. My emotions however, are afraid that the same thing will happen as what happened to me; a global, instant block without any proper investigation. Timjer (talk) 20:02, 30 August 2021 (UTC)


 * To be clear, I was not advocating for, or against, any user. It is my job to make block appeals when users request them, which was the purpose of my posting; I simply just wanted additional details about the block. Timjer, I do not know what situation you are referring to, and I certainly do not "have a problem" with you or anyone else on the wiki. Since the time this ticket was sent in, the problem solved itself when other evidence was found and their socks blocked. And my sincerest apologies for not signing my posts, in my haste to attend to my ticket queue I neglected signing. Kimberton (talk) 18:06, 30 August 2021 (UTC)


 * I suppose I do owe you a bit of an explanation for my outburst. Aside from the fact that the defending sockpuppet has been getting on my nerves here (especially with daring to act like the victim), I can say from personal experience that Staff members are still fallable humans. Let's just leave it at that. And you're commenting without signing was simply the straw that broke the camel's back here, as it made me believe you really didn't care enough to be professional. Glad to know it was just a minor mistake. Timjer (talk) 20:14, 30 August 2021 (UTC)


 * I know past experience can often influence how we react and behave but there does need to be an accountability process for people who do abuse their power. Said user had messaged me on Community Central threatening to tell Staff on my alleged abuses of power. For some, this guy knows, even the mention of staff can worry some over getting banned and such, so even just the allusion to it is a power play for these kinds of people. Don't let them win, part of a block is considering whether or not its justified, sometimes on reflection it might be harsher than I intended (etc). I read the update about people being able to appeal and yeah I'm pretty confident in my decision on this one and staff are now aware this is a tactic said user will use to get their way. Fingers crossed he gives up, for his own benefit more than others, this level of fixation is unhealthy. Dealign with a long term troll can cause tension so glad we got that out for all sides.
