:: {{ping|BlackWidowMovie0}} Put simply, you ''were'' given multiple chances. You certainly had multiple chances to stop editing disruptively and did not take them, exhausting multiple warnings and even reinstating undone disruptive edits. Any new user would have been blocked for that as well. In addition, your sockpuppet accounts such as [[User_talk:Quarter4VCS]] also received such warnings even when others were not aware it was you (although it was identified as a sockpuppet of you before enough had been exhausted to warrant a block). You have been given what is frankly far too many chances, and used up all of them. [[User:Naleksuh|Naleksuh]] ([[User talk:Naleksuh|talk]]) 23:55, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

::{{ping|Naleksuh}} I wasn't given multiple chances. Originally, in my RfA, before I had made ''any'' edits, you said I should be here under a one-strike policy. That isn't ''"multiple chances"''. Maybe in your retelling, you gave me 100 chances, but in real life, you didn't even give me one here before suggesting a one-strike policy. See [[Test Wiki:Request permissions#BlackWidowMovie0 2|here]] for proof. {{ping|MacFan4000|Void}} I would request Steward input in this conversation.

: Simply stating that you "have reviewed policies" is rather unconvincing, ideally you would address the reason for the block and show why the incidents will not occur again. Regardless if there was only a day left, it would have been simpler for you to wait the rest of it out. [[User:Naleksuh|Naleksuh]] ([[User talk:Naleksuh|talk]]) 18:05, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

== Talk page access restored ==
Your access to your talk page has been restored at my discretion due to the very real possibility that you have changed over the past 2 years. Any potential unblock request must include: An explanation of your disruptive editing, and what productive contributions (including tests) you will make  in the future, an agreement to an indefinite block being placed by any bureaucrat in the event you resume disruption, and it must be convincing enough that either I or another Steward agree to unblock you.
