to evade bans results in the ban timer being reset and may further lengthen it.

I'm sorry, but it's hard to assume good faith, particularly from an editor with a "secret vandal project" with an adult writing style who claims to be 9 years old. Please go away. -- The Anome 00:20, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I AM NINE YEARS OLD. And I apoligize for what I have done. I love Wikipedia - I've gone here for research, for almost everything, and I spend almost half my time on the internet on here. I do read and write at an adult level, but I am nine years old. If you don't believe me, you can ask Pizzachelle - she is my aunt. I actually introduced her to Wikipedia, and I encouraged her to become a Wikipedian after she said that had a lot of good information, and is very helpful. I WILL NOT VANDALIZE AGAIN. I will do anything - I am very sorry for what happen - me and Cute 1 4 u can just call this whole secret vandal business quits. I actually was trying to revert vandalism when I found out that I had been blocked. I will assume good faith, and I do not want to go away. I believe there is no other website to go to if you block me for life. Please unblock me - I, once again, apoligize and I will do anything. Thank you. --S-man 00:28, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sadly, there is nothing we can do to help you. Even "jokes" about vandalism are taken seriously on Wikipedia. We remind you that we are not blocking you for your age, but your actions, even if they may have been false. Ryūlóng 00:32, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

But I did not contribute any serious vandalism to THIS Wikipedia, in fact I have only contributed very few vandalism to this Wikipedia. The vandalism was not a "joke". I need Wikipedia - I don't really know where else to do things. I come here all the time for everything. Can you please at least just make it a week-long block or a 24-hour block? I will never vandalize any wiki again. --S-man 00:36, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot do anything. Despite whatever you state concerning your innocence, your actions are still forbidden on any Wikipedia, in any way shape or form. Ryūlóng 00:44, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

But can I please contact an admin to see if we can make this block a 24 hour block or a 2-day block? --S-man 00:48, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Admins will not unblock You S-Man you vandalised and threatened to vandalise. *Shakes his head* Æon ^{Insane Ward} 22:39, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This user has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia, per ruling of administrators, Jimbo Wales and/or the Arbitration Committee. See block log.
(toolbox: contributions • page moves • current autoblocks)

What's all the hubbub about S-man being blocked? What did he do wrong?

S-man, I am really User:Kitia. Since you are my friend, I am here to help. What happened? I will contact my good friend and admin Mangojuice if anything is wrong. Uncle Kitia 20:12, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

My reason is stated below. Please read. I love this website and I once again apologize. Thank you.

Decline reason:

Please see above. Already declined. — —Pilot guy cleared for takeoff 14:04, 8 April 2007 (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.

Apparently, I'm blocked because I'm ten years old, or at least that's what I understand. I don't know what all this vandalism stuff is about. I've treated Wikipedia just like anybody else would. I just wanted to edit. Yes, I'm ten now, about to enter intermediate school. More school means more projects, and more projects mean more research, and that's why I use Wikipedia now. I really wish I could come back. I am truly sorry for whatever it is I did. Also, an "adult writing style"? I started reading and writing when I was two. I'm in a GT program. Does that answer all that stuff about my "adult writing style"? I was really working hard on Wikipedia, even trying to reach admin status. I guess I should just give up, though. Kitia, thanks for trying to defend me, but I don't think there's anything anyone can do anymore. I guess I have to accept now that I'm a vandal, not a Wikipedian. Again, I apologize. Thanks. - Shaun, 3-9-07.

Also, your friend said he would not unblock me unless I put up a request myself and apologized for my behavior. I have done both of those things, and both have not worked. If there's anything I'm trying to prove on this talk page, it's that I'm a good person, I do good at school, I have lots of friends, and I'm a regular kid. I don't understand why everyone thinks I'm this bad, evil vandal who can attack any minute with his hundreds of sockpuppets. Please, I would just like to come back as a Wikipedian, and put all of this behind. I once again apologize for everything - vandalizing, rudeness, whatever I have done to disappoint someone. I love Wikipedia. My parents or my aunt could watch me or discuss this with you guys. Sorry, but I just can't "go away". I want to come back.

I don't see why this user was blocked. The "self admitted vandal" reason does not seem to justify the block or sockpuppeteer tag. Could someone explain so I can handle the unblock request? Prodego ^talk 03:42, 8 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You followed the link, looked at the deleted page including scrolling down? Seems to also be connected to another banned user. --pgk 07:18, 8 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just so that non-admins can evaluate what this is about, here is the content of User:S-man/Vandalism Invasion (many empty lines omitted):

This is a secret.

For WikiVandal Club members only.

That's me and Crystal.

What?

You want to become a member of our club?

Just leave me a request on my talk page.

Don't SCROLL DOWN UNLESS YOU'RE A CLUB MEMBER!!

I'M WARNING YOU!!!!!

STOP!!!!!!!!!

SERIOUSLY.

Me and Cute 1 4 u were just bored one day. So we decided to just randomly go to a bunch of different wikis (except for Wikipedia because we love Wikipedia) and start vandalising. And vandalising. So I'm creating a list of wikis I've vandalised in this invasion, excluding Wikipedia :

The (2nd) Weird Al wiki
Simple Wikipedia
Wikinews
Wookiepedia

As to the merits of the block, I can't determine whether this is just childish nonsense or something more serious. Since the user has not even addressed this announcement of vandalism in his apology above, I'd be disinclined to unblock at this point. Either way, his main purpose here seems to misuse Wikipedia as a free web host (see User:S-man/My_Wikipedia_Pets and User:S-man/Userpage#My Subpages). We are an encyclopedia, not a playground. Sandstein 13:49, 8 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't scroll down... yep, decline. Prodego ^talk 16:48, 8 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fantastic. But it seems my aunt has been blocked. What she did do? Anyway, I've alerted my father and aunt, who are both Wikipedians, because it seems I am not welcome here. I'm sorry for even trying to get unblocked. I am permanently leaving. Looks like I will be forever known as the "ten-year-old abusive Wikipedia vandal and sockpuppeteer.". Thanks a lot. Also, I hope you know I never actually vandalized any of those wikis, although if I ever did, I never did significant damage. I guess I'll have to go back to administrating Stripespedia. My dad is at User:BikeDog. Better block him, too. Goodbye, friends, although most of my friends have been blocked as well, it seems. Goodbye, adminstrators, Wikipedians, and vandals. -- Vandal, April 2007 P.S. Take a look at what I really want to do to Wikipedia --> http://editthis.info/stripespedia/Main_Page .

Someone should really unblock this guy sometime soon. What he did was wrong, yet I don't feel we should block him forever. We have to be more forgiving as Wikipedians and let this "secret vandalizing project" go to rest. Just give him one more chance and if he messes up again, well... BLOCK! ''[[User:Kitia|Kitia'']] 16:14, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, just a second chance. If I screw that time, then feel free to block me as long as you want. I made one wrong decision, can't we get over it? I mean, I'm ten now. I'm just starting middle school. It's been that long since I've made a true edit to Wikipedia. Vandals are bad people that make Wikipedia a bad place by making countless bad edits on articles until someone finally stops them. I'm not one of those people. My intention was never to make my userpage a free web host or anything like that. About this "Vandalism project" or whatever... I never vandalized any of those wikis. If I did, I do not remember it. I don't know what I was thinking when I made that, I'm never like that. I am sorry for that, and for anything else. I'm also still looking for a good reason to why you blocked my aunt. She didn't do anything, I merely made her userpage because she was new, and I wanted to be a good person and help her out. Thank you, Kitia, for supporting me. I, again, agree with her idea of a second chance, and then if I mess up, indefinite block. I have learned by now, that I made a bad decision. I am very serious about this issue, and I am not giving up because of ANYTHING. Also, someone said I seem to be connected to another banned user. I'm assuming by this, you mean Crystal. I don't know what exactly you mean by that, but Crystal was just a Wikipedia that I enjoyed talking to. Apparently, she recently employed the use of abusive sockpuppets, something that I think is very wrong, and that I would never do. If any administrator wants to ask me a question, I will do my best to answer it. Thank you. Also, any administator can email me as well, if there a serious issue or something you have to discuss with me. Thanks, and please, again, I'm only asking for one more chance. One more. And if it does not work out, then indefinite block. That's it. - S-man 23:39, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
