Request reason:
I noticed my account's been blocked indefinitely for abusing multiple accounts, but my IP address expiration date is set for 3 March, 2016. Could someone elaborate what this means per se? Meaning am I eligible for another account when my IP block expires, and why was it blocked for abusing multiple accounts? I use one account for every edit. Thanks a lot.

Decline reason:
The behavioural evidence alone makes it clear beyond all reasonable doubt that this account is a sockpuppet, and on top of that a CheckUser has found technical evidence, so you are not being unblocked. In answer to your question about being " eligible for another account", the answer is "No": unless and until your original account is unblocked, you do not have permission to edit Wikipedia at all, no matter how many sockpuppet accounts you use to try to evade the block. The IP autoblock will be lifted after a while so that if the IP address is allocated to a different person they will not be affected by your block, not so that you can create another account to evade your block and continue with your disruptive editing.

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.
- We've already been over this, you and apparently every other Wikipedia administrator fails to realize this. There is no unblocking or altering my original account. Period. They don't even give me the ability to log in, so please save that for someone who hasn't racked their brain trying to figure out how. If you have any suggestions on how, realistically helpful ones, I'd be more than happy to listen. If you intend to say the same things that everyone else says, which ultimately get me nowhere and provides no help, don't bother commenting at all. Thank you.

- OK, here are a few suggestions which may be helpful to you.
- Advice as to how to apply for an unblock of your original account is on the talk page of that account, referring to the Unblock Ticket Request System and the Arbitration Committee. It may be that you have not looked at that page since that advice was posted there, in which case I suggest you look there now.
- It is unlikely that you will be unblocked unless you first comply with the requirements of the standard offer. Each time you are found to have used yet another sockpuppet account, that postpones the date when an unblock may be considered.
- You make it more unlikely that you will be blocked every time you make statements such as "I use one account for every edit", which I can only interpret as a denial that you have used other accounts, as any administrator will be able to see easily that you have, and is unlikely to unblock you as long as it looks as though you are being dishonest.
- I understand your frustration, but I suggest trying to resist the temptation to say things like "If you intend to say the same things that everyone else says, which ultimately get me nowhere and provides no help, don't bother commenting at all" to someone who has acted in good faith, even if you think what he or she has done has been unhelpful. Saying things like that may give the impression that you are likely to be uncivil and uncooperative with other editors, which will reduce the likelihood that you will be unblocked. Personally, I wouldn't give much weight to that, because I do understand how such remarks can come out of a feeling of frustration, even if you genuinely want to cooperate, but another administrator might well attach greater importance to it.
- If you are to be unblocked, you need to deal with the reasons why you were blocked in the first place, and make it clear that you are not likely to continue editing with the same problems. An unblock request which does not mention the problems which led to the block, such as the one above, is unlikely to succeed.
- I hope some or all of those comments will be of some help to you. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 17:46, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
- Well first off, thank you for understanding my frustration. If it's something I haven't received from an administrator thus far, it's comprehension and it's greatly appreciated. I'll work on making my frustration less visible, for that I apologize. I can't even log into this account it's so blocked, globally is how it's described. So there's no possible way for me to appeal, and when I attempt to unblock through the Unblock Ticket Request System and they tell me my account is not blocked. How can this be? Thank you.
