Request reason:

The admin who blocked me did not provide a reason for the block

Decline reason:

Do you think one was really needed? Accounts used only for trolling tend to be blocked. Black Kite 00:20, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I was not trolling, I was trying to give a link to some advice that I think is helpful in situations when people are thinking of leaving. And yes, I do think one was needed. At least now I understand that it was considered that I was trolling, which I wasn't.

Decline reason:

There are legitimate uses for alternative accounts, but this isn't it. At worst you're trolling; at best you're deliberately avoiding scrutiny. I'll unblock if you include a link to your parent account here, but not otherwise. – iridescent 15:07, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I do not have another account on Wikipedia. The link that I added was in no way trolling, it was advice for users that are thinking of leaving an online community. Even if I did have another account, which I don't, exactly what kind of scrutiny would I be trying to avoid?

Decline reason:

The scrutiny of being sanctioned for trolling. Sandstein 22:28, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Once again I was not trolling, I was trying to provide a link to some advice for someone thinking of leaving an online community. Therefore there is no sanction to avoid, except in the minds of people who think I was trolling. And once again I do not even have another account! Please provide your reasons for believing that I was trolling

Decline reason:

{{subst:End of the line. This is a throw-away single purpose disruptive account.}} seicer | talk | contribs 02:17, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
