Socking again

What's the point when you're just going to get blocked? Just like to troll that much? Flyer22 Frozen (talk) 08:07, 2 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Unblock

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

These days is it possible for someone to even edit articles of a certain subject consistently, like childhood/adolescence and animated TV shows, without users jumping to the conclusion that they're a sock? Why is it that new editors editing those aforementioned topics will always be assumed as socks? Maybe they just have a coincidentally same interest. And why can't a super new editor be experienced without the assumption that they're a sock as well? It's possible that they heard about Wikipedia long before joining and read the guideline pages before joining, which is why they know so much about the interface and manual of style for a new user. Also, being caught in a similar IP range as a sock doesn't always mean that someone is that sock; they could be a relative or close friend of them without even knowing who they are on Wikipedia. Regardless, that doesn't make them a meatpuppet because they have no control over their friends or family's activity on WP, and there's no proof that they're making edits on behalf of a banned user unless they admit it on a Wikiproject. I'd like to hear what User:Flyer22 Frozen has to say about my raised concerns.

Decline reason:

See WP:MEAT. When two accounts edit about the same subject matter in the same manner, we must treat them as if they are each operated by the same person. It's also possible that other family members are editing about the same subject matter as you are, but as we have no way to know who is sitting at the computer operating accounts, again, we must treat them as the same person. This request boils down to "it wasn't me" which is insufficient. It is possible that you became familiar with Wikipedia before joining, but that would be a rare thing among new users. Possibilities and maybes are not sufficient to unblock, and as such I am declining this request. 331dot (talk) 08:51, 2 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
