{{helpme|How can I run a bot through my account?}}

I suggest you take a look at WP:BOT and Wikipedia:Creating a bot. I would advise NOT to run a bot through your account but create a separate account to run it through. But first, you should read up on those guides I linked. They should answer all questions. If you still have questions, I suggest to ask at the talk pages related to bot running on Wikipedia.

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:

Not sure why I've been accused of block evasion, no other reason's been given. And, I've made no purposely unconstructive edits or things that could be taken as vandalism to start with.

Decline reason:


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.

Request reason:

I still don't know why I've been accused. Even if this was his sock, it can't be called a sockpuppet, because a sockpuppet is an account used maliciously. This account doesn't have any unconstructive edits.

Decline reason:

Irrelevant. Please see WP:EVADE. By editing at all while blocked, you are violating policy. Creating multiple accounts to do this is only compounding the problem. — Hersfold (t/a/c) 15:29, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

It is me, but I have already said and cannot stress enough that no unconstructive edits have been made with this account, therefore it is not a sockpuppet. Also, can someone tag my userpage with the appropriate block template, please?

Decline reason:

You misunderstand. Your deceptive use of this account constitutes sockpuppetry. Your attempt at block evasion with this account constitutes sockpuppetry. Engaging in sockpuppetry in whatever form, malicious or not, while you are blocked is forbidden. As this is your third request, I am now protecting the talk page. — kurykh 18:17, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(my decline text, EC with above) The problem is that there is a block against your first account, and you have compounded any problems you initially were blocked for by evading that block with additional accounts. Regardless of anything else, your most recent violation is to evade your block. If you intend to edit constructively, you need to request an unblocking at the very first account that was blocked. You also, in that request, need to "come clean" with a full listing of all alternative accounts you have used. That would be a start. Creating new accounts is still a violation while your first account is still under block. — Jayron32.talk.contribs 18:22, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
