Hi, I saw you blocked an IP as an open proxy. Hiw did you determine that it was a proxy and why are they not allowed here? (I know the IP was vandalizing, I was just wondering why open proxies in general aren't allowed here) [[User:Seiyena|Sei]] ([[Special:Contribs/Seiyena|<span style="color:red">My changes here</span>]] | [[Special:Newsection/User talk:Seiyena|<span style="color:#0080ff">Drop me a line</span>]]) 18:27, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

Hi, I see you removed my admin privileges for the reason that I was removing a steward's block. I intended to restore the main block once I was done with my testing, I was just experimenting with different block settings. Can you please give me my admin privileges back please?

{{Outdent|:::::::}} Though behaviourally speaking, this block was a bit weak and best left for a [[Test Wiki:Stewards|Steward]], [[User:Q8j|Q8j]]'s "gut instinct" ended up being correct in this case. '''Matttest''' has been confirmed as a 100% technical match to the recent impersonation only and vandalism only accounts, and has been CheckUser blocked indefinitely. Note this had concurrence from both Stewards. Thank you, too, to [[User:DarkMatterMan4500|DarkMatterMan4500]] for their diligence in reporting the impersonation only accounts.

::{{Ping|Q8j}} - Hello! I wish to apologise for not taking your side when it came to the block of Matttest. You did very well with sniffing out the suspicious contributions and for that, I applaud you. Once again, I am sincerely sorry, keep up the great work.

:::{{Ping|Sav}} Thank you for your understanding!
:::As all of you said, though Matttest was sockpuppeter, my actions were '''not''' 100% right. I could have leave it to stewards, but I didn't. It's because I wanted to avoid it affect ongoing voting, but I could have, for example, set partial block for Community Portal only and ask stewards to endorse, expand blocking.
:::When I blocked the account in question, I was calm. But after you, whom I trust, removed the block and objected that, I was lack of calmness. For that, I owe you an apology as well. I'm sad to see you thought my action was "not in good faith", but it's partly my fault.--[[User:Q8j|Q8j]] ([[User talk:Q8j|talk]]) 08:56, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
