[WikiEN-l] Rogue Admin SlimVirgin gaming the system

Mon May 30 22:53:30 UTC 2005

SlimVirgin sent me the following:

"Partial, complex reverts count as reverts like any other. The problem
with gaming the system, as you are doing, is that this kind of
miscalculation is inevitable from time to time."

SlimVirgin is the Rogue Admin who is gaming the system.
I followed 3RR policy TO THE LETTER:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3RR

"The three-revert rule is not an entitlement, but an "electric fence"; the 
3RR is intended as a means to stop edit wars. It does not grant users an 
inalienable right to three reverts every 24 hours or endorse reverts as an 
editing technique. Persistent reversion remains strongly discouraged and is 
unlikely to constitute working properly with others."

"If you find yourself reverting a considerable amount of edits by a banned 
user or a vandal, it may be appropriate to block the user or IP address. If 
you are not an administrator, you should list the person on vandalism in 
progress."

The user Yuber has an established history of being blocked for 3RR and for 
starting revert wars on Islamic topics. He was doing so yet again.

I warned him on the Dhimmi talk page.
I reported his attempt to start a revert war on the Vandalism in Progress 
page.

I warned him in his edit summaries about revert warring and asked him to see 
the talk page.

He submitted a bad-faith 3RR complaint anyways, and SlimVirgin blocked me in 
bad faith as fits her goal of persecuting me.

Additionally, my first and second edits are NOT reverts.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revert
I have only three reverts.

I expect to see an unblock notice. I am tired of being persecuted and abused 
by Admins with chips on their shoulders.
