You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for persistently making disruptive edits.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Bbb23 (talk) 00:56, 25 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Bbb23,

I am sorry. I will never change an Afd ever again. If it is possible for you, you can even ban me from editing those specifically. However, can you please unblock me so I can make general edits to articles? At the very least, could you please change the block time to one week or two weeks or something definite? I am sorry. I will never edit any Afd ever again.

Decline reason:

Unfortunately, I don't think a simple apology is sufficient to clarify the issues with your editing here. You were given multiple opportunities to adjust your behavior from more experienced editors (see [1][2][3][4]), and you even acknowledged that you had read this advice when you removed them from your user talk page. In fact, Bbb23 specifically stated that he would block you if you made another inappropriate AfD close; not more than five minutes after you acknowledged his message by removing it, you closed an AfD.

To me, this indicates a problem that goes deeper than just AfD closes. You don't seem to be interested in listening to the advice of fellow editors. In a project which often demands collaboration among a diverse group of individuals, this is problematic. In order to be unblocked, I'm afraid you will have to explain in more detail why you decided to ignore the advice of others in this situation. Mz7 (talk) 06:50, 25 August 2018 (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.
