Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 16:16, 31 January 2010

Be reasonable

John, your latest sock is distinctly unimpressive. So I'm going to state this one more time and very clearly. Misplaced Pages:Standard offer is still on the table for you--for now. Note criterion 3 though: "Don't create any extraordinary reasons to object to a return." Jack Merridew is a former banned user who walked the walk and returned legitimately; he made an extraordinary candid statement at your recent ANI discussion. Since then I've offered to groom him for adminship--both for good work and because he's shown that he has what it takes to make that long journey. Since Rootology retired this site has been lacking a formerly banned admin. They bring perspectives and experience to the table that very few regular Wikipedians have--that experience could help you both in terms of advice and advocacy. Don't try to bring this guy down. He is exactly the wrong person for you to be targeting. He didn't cause your ban and isn't standing in the way of your return.

So from this point forward, per criterion 3 of the standard offer, here's the deal. Stop socking now and no special criteria apply. I'll nominate your return myself if you qualify. But cross that line with one more sock, and for each sock you create your term goes up by one month: 1 sock means you wait 4/7 months, 2 means you wait 5/8 months. And that term begins the day your last sock gets id'd and indeffed. But that's not all; there's a special condition. Do not target Jack Merridew. Jack is your potential ally. And if you don't intuit that, I do. If you bother Jack again in any way whatsoever, your timeout gets a one year bonus. It takes about that long to recover from a severe Clue deficit.

You'll never get an offer fairer than this, so consider taking it. My email is enabled. Durova 23:30, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

Yeah right, an offer to return to a wrecked site full of copyright violations, spammers, pedophiles, dumb asses, myspacers, and nutcases, while being sniped by stupid admins who have nothing better to do than pushing their weight around, and while the people at the top of the chain spend donated money on dinners and girlfriends and gold plated washing machines and jet planes, because implementing better software would be too much of a hassle. That's a great offer John32435 (talk) 01:20, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
