This is your only warning; if you remove or blank page contents or templates from Wikipedia again, as you did at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. John from Idegon (talk) 06:36, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I was the one whose comments were removed John. You're targeting the wrong guy. VALIDALTguy (talk) 06:43, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Can you read the link before posting

U posted a link claiming I filed an Spi. I don't see any Spi that i filed. So what are you rambling about? You seem to be totally clueless on what you are speaking. You clearly are trolling here. --DBig Xrayᗙ 07:08, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I only read your comment. That’s why I named you. I corrected it. VALIDALTguy (talk) 07:26, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Unblock account now

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).

VALIDALTguy (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Normally won't bother but when User:Zzuuzz blocks me falsely as WP:ILLEGIT and allows someone himself accused of sock to remove accusations against him, this needs to be taken up. Read Privacy under WP:LEGIT: A person editing an article which is highly controversial within his/her family, social or professional circle, and whose Wikipedia identity is known within that circle, or traceable to their real-world identity, may wish to use an alternative account to avoid real-world consequences from their editing or other Wikipedia actions in that area. Although a privacy-based alternative account is not publicly connected to your main account, it should not be used in ways outlined in the inappropriate uses section of this page, and if it is, the account may be publicly linked to your main account for sanctions. If you are considering using an alternative account under this provision, please read the notification section below. As this account is created for the purposes of privacy and the nature of the dispute is controversial, there is nothing wrong in trying to protect my real identity or escape persecution from those I'm complaining. This account should be unblocked, if the admins have any more conscience.

Decline reason:

This is not a valid use of an alternate account. The justifications you appear to be citing from WP:LEGIT are Security - which applies only to the use of an alternate account where your account could be compromised due to the way in which you access Wikiepdia - and Privacy - which applies only to the use of an account to edit potentially controversial articles (not noticeboards) where your real-life identity might be discernible from your main account. Neither of these justifies your use of this account to maintain a vendetta against another editor. Yunshui ^雲 _水 11:45, 6 September 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.

Zzuuzz I suggest you read WP:LEGIT - Privacy and instead of letting people use your action to delete accusations against themselves, try to take right actions against everyone. Even if others read it, someone who has been blamed shouldn't remove it. I'm not a real sock anyway, but I think me risking my long-time real-named account is stupid for this thing.

Anyway unblock or not is up to the conscience of the administrators. VALIDALTguy (talk) 11:38, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again. I'm sorry you took it so badly - there are different types of blocks and you received one of the most generous available. I'm not even bothered about pursuing any action against your other account nor even its identity. As Yunshui points out this is not a legitimate use of an alternative account. The policy you quote concerns "editing an article", moreover, it says it "should not be used in ways outlined in the inappropriate uses", and as I pointed out in my block reason WP:ILLEGIT #2 describes editing project space as an illegitimate use. This is a longstanding policy, confirmed in arbitration, and if it inconveniences you then as I say it's just tough. For the record I don't think User:DBigXray should be removing that content, but after examining it closely I came to the conclusion that there was more noise than signal and it wasn't worth reverting. -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 12:57, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
