Stop icon
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because your account is being used only for vandalism. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

In short, I disagree with being blocked because while the edits were definitely harmful and all that stuff, they were not m own edits. I'm not sure who exactly accessed my account, or where they did it. I became aware of what was going on when a user told me that they'd gotten rid of my "childish edits," upon which I was alarmed. Disclaimer, the quotes are his word, I"m not downplaying the seriousness of the edits. Immediately after reading this, I logged out of my account on this computer, because I'm pretty sure that the person who made the edits did so from this computer. I'm a 9th grade student in 4 honors, and so was very busy. I wasn't really that concerned about someone using my accounts to have fun. However, later on that night when I logged in, I was informed that my account was indefinitely banned. I'm here to say that those edits were not by me. I'm pretty sure the first edits were made on this computer, but have no clue about where the second clues were. As I'd logged out of my wiki account on this computer, the person'd have known my password and could have logged back into my account in this computer again, or maybe in another device. However, if that doesn't convince you, please let me try to convince you that an indefinite ban should not be the consequence for what the person using my accounts did. While I agree that a ban is necessary, to deter the person who did it from doing any more vandalism, I definitely disagree with an indefinite ban. I know that this may not completely convince you that I wasn't the one who made the edits, but I at least hope that I convinced you to reduce the ban. thank you, burrito777 (talk) 23:40, 9 June 2016 (UTC)burrito77[reply]

Decline reason:

If your computer was hacked as you claim, the block should stay as you account has been compromised. PhilKnight (talk) 01:17, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]


If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

(edit conflict) @Burrito77: I’m not an administrator, so my opinion here is only worth the electrons it’s written on, but there’s a Wikipedia adage that blocks are preventive rather than punitive; deterrence is only a minor part of the rationale. I think your request will be more likely to succeed if you undertake to treat security more seriously and state how you intend to prevent a future recurrence, because a compromised account represents an ongoing risk of vandalism—‘a bit of fun’ is no big deal in the grand scheme of things, but the fact remains that other editors’ valuable time is wasted in dealing with it.—Odysseus1479 01:29, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} While I do agree that my account is compromised and that it should be blocked in case the person who made the edits returns, I disagree with the ban being indefinite. The solution is simple really, just my changing my password. Moreover, my computer wasn't hacked, it was probable just one of my friends who was here, as we were working on a project. Thank you for your consideration and time in this matter. Also, how is @odysseus1479 able to see what I post right after I post it? burrito777 (talk) 22:30, 10 June 2016 (UTC)burrito77[reply]

@Burrito77: As for your second question, see Help:Watchlist. It's typical for users who warn vandals to keep that vandal's page on their watchlist (as you can see, odysseus1479 isn't the only one). As for the "I'll just change my password" bit, I'll note that you've said the same thing before, and yet vandalism continued afterward. Assuming good faith (i.e., that you're not just feeding us a line), you are apparently incapable of maintaining even basic security on the computers you use. I am also not an administrator, but I feel the block is appropriate. Antepenultimate (talk) 22:41, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
