Ban appeal

Hello! I'm angerxiety, discord id 738447190527180891. I was banned about a year ago from the Discord which I inquired about here. I held off from submitting any ban appeals from then as per this talk's main page. "...moderators expect to see a recent and consistent history of good content contributions before considering appeals."

Responding to eariler comments

"The issue is that you didn't think what you put there was problematic at all. And if you deflect and cannot express why it was problematic, we can't trust it won't happen again." I fully understand that putting lyrics from a Nazi military march was especially problematic, considering it was placed in my about me/bio. Since it was placed in my about me/bio, it seemed to outside users that I expressed, participated or supported Nazi thought, which is completely incorrect.

"...and if so, can you elaborate on the meaning of it?" The reason I had the song lyrics in my bio I do not remember fully. All I can really say about that is back then I enjoyed German and these type of songs (military marches), which I expressed quite wrongly by using them in my about me.

"but in that case I'd also be interested in why you changed it." I stated this previously in the talk page section, although I believe the stated reason is erroneous. The true reason I changed it was due to a recognition of guilt after user Enterprisey had reminded me what I put in my about me. This also plays back to what user ferret said, which is that I didn't think the content I put in my about me was problematic. I recognize now that putting such content in a space intended to show information about a user is very problematic and forces assumptions from other users about me as a person. I will reiterate that I do not express, participate or support Nazi thought.

Recent contributions

Ever since May 19, 2023, I've made tiny but decent contributions to a few English Wikipedia articles, such as Nutaku, Saikhom Mirabai Chanu, Patrick Breyer, and George Arents/George Arents III. I'm much more active in the Simple Wikipedia, where I've made a bit more contributions as well as created a few articles. Angerxiety 19:44, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

Banned from Discord

Hello, recently I've been banned from the English Wikipedia Discord server. I talked about contentious topics in chat and as such I got banned.

I believe I can come back to the server as long as I will not discuss these topics again. This server greatly helped me with my journey on Wikipedia while learning how to edit, and I want to come back to the server. I will not repeat the same mistakes again. I will also stay on topic and only discuss topics that are related directly related to editing on Wikipedia. My Discord name is echopeak01 Alon Alush (talk) 10:57, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

You got a timeout and a clear final warning in August for bringing up CTOP stuff in the server, following previous issues. Then not even a week ago you did it again, resulting in your ban. Forgive me if I have doubts about your ability to not repeat these mistakes, so soon after repeating them. You can appeal again in six months. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 14:41, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

In the recent incident, I immediately apologized and deleted the messages. Then a few days later I was greeted to a ban from the server (even though I deleted the messages immediately thereafter). Alon Alush (talk) 17:37, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi Alon. We're not going to debate the sequence of events here, we've given an answer. -- ferret (talk) 18:26, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Mentioned

I have just brought up Discord as a potential real time help channel (to supplement or supplant IRC) in the Help desk header template. Maybe I should have asked here first? Input welcome at Wikipedia talk:Help desk/Header § Reformattings. Folly Mox (talk) 17:46, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
