Partial Credit

Yesterday, I received two partial bans—one on the US site and one on the other platform.
I was informed that the primary reason for both strikes was my involvement in the chat, which apparently became excessive in the past.

However, that behavior is largely behind me now.
Over the last few months on the second platform, most of my activity has been limited to the chat thread (and music discussions, though I doubt those should cause issues).

On the US site, while I do participate in the chat, it is usually tied to an ongoing discussion—essentially just building upon what others have already said.
Again, this hasn't been frequent; for the most part, I have followed the rules. It was just general chat, some music talk, a Q&A thread (which should be permitted under the guidelines), and astrology.

Is there any possibility of reconsidering these partial bans, or perhaps at least removing one of them?
Since receiving any kind of strike, I have made a sincere effort to correct my conduct and ensure I don't repeat the same mistakes.
I have also tried to avoid conflicts—or more accurately, to steer clear of people I simply don't vibe with.
The improvements I've made, particularly over the last couple of months, should be fairly evident.

I would be very grateful if the administration could take a look at my request.
Thank you in advance.

ps. I will continue to be extra cautious moving forward.

Can we give Wikipedia one more shot? There’s zero malice there, he just gets a little carried away in the chats sometimes. If someone just gave him a heads-up when he crosses the line, or slapped him with a yellow card, he'd chill out.

We all talk too much here, even when it’s unnecessary, and we certainly have a knack for dressing it up with a little trolling. You can't say the same for Wikipedia.
Maybe it's time to consider lightening his sentence. If nothing else, just let him get off this forum. 🕺

I’m adding my voice to the requests here. In my view, Wikipedia is one of those rare users who doesn't go out of their way to offend anyone. They aren't aggressive, they aren't rude, and they don't attempt to disparage others either directly or through subtle jabs. They are one of the few people you can actually exchange ideas with in a pleasant, tension-free manner, knowing full well that the conversation will remain civil from start to finish.
If there was any chatting involved, it certainly didn't cause anyone harm or malice, which makes such a severe penalty feel entirely disproportionate.
It would be a genuine shame to penalize a long-standing, loyal, and—above all—positive member of this community, especially at a time when the boards seem to be overrun by vulgar, hostile, and completely inconsiderate individuals.

I’m getting nowhere with women without seeing his horoscope first... just unban him already. I feel like the absolute bottom of the barrel, like the leftover scraps on a plate that nobody even wants to touch...

I'll even agree to act like a kid until November 2019, just please get rid of the ban on the guy from San Francisco, I'm begging you...

I told you, Rachel Richardson, just stick to the History section—look how polite and helpful everyone is being over there! 🙂

Honestly, you can't even talk about the USA without bringing Wikipedia into it, regardless of what anyone else might think🥳

Trying to do something and actually doing something concrete aren't the same thing. 😁
I have nothing against you, but I'll tell you why—at least in my opinion regarding these moderators—your request probably won't go through.

First off, the chat. You can "try" to fix yourself, but you're the type of user where 90% of your posts on this entire site are in the chat. I see you've passed the 80,000 mark, and I'm sure you realize those posts were almost certainly in the chat. If you look at your recent activity, it's still mostly chat, and very little actual participation in specific threads. 😁
Accordingly, and I believe the moderators will agree, placing a partial ban on your handle in those subforums is justified because you're still essentially chatting, just in threads located elsewhere on the forum instead of at the top. So, your "efforts" to reduce it don't really help your case.

Second, when I was more active on the US subforum, there were plenty of frictions and arguments, heated debates, and people bringing up private matters (not necessarily from your side), but the US subforum became a pretty unpleasant place to hang out back then. There were definitely reports and everything, since reporting is practically a way of life there. 😁
And your handle showed up in those discussions and arguments quite often, plus likely in reports, so it's easier for the moderators to just remove you than to constantly hover and watch to see if someone is going to start a fight, especially since the US subforum is like a powder keg; one tiny spark and everything goes to hell. 😁

Finally, since you've continued with the chat in other parts of the forum and your lifestyle stays the same, I think the partial ban won't be lifted, at least for the next 6 months, until things settle down. The users you talk to in the chats can just move over to Reddit and keep the same pace because, ultimately, it's just chat. 😁 I mean, if your profile looked different and you were a user who actively participated in all sorts of topics with a lower percentage of chat, your request would probably be taken much more seriously.

Just some friendly advice: maybe don't get so deep into arguments with completely irrelevant people on this site. It isn't worth it, and you really shouldn't feel the need to justify your actions. Doing that just drags you back into the fray, and then you end up right back where you started, begging for a partial ban. I guess it’s fine to clash during a debate and take the heat for it, but I’ve always felt like you have this compulsion to explain yourself and convince everyone that you aren't the person they're "accusing" you of being. Honestly, there probably wouldn't be so many fights if you just told them all to go screw themselves and focused on the people actually worth your time—whether that's here in the threads or in private messages. 😉

It’s not—chatting isn't banned in the discussion threads, provided you aren't breaking the rules...

I guess there was some chatting going on in other threads, too. 😁
I’m not saying nobody should defend chatting within a dedicated thread—far from it. But when people start bleeding off-topic chatter into other discussions, it just dilutes everything and kills any actual debate. I guess we shouldn't pretend this hasn't been happening; let's be real, I've done it too. But then comes the moderation, the warnings, and the bans that most people just ignore or don't take seriously. Then, once things finally blow up, everyone suddenly acts all polite and follows the rules, almost like they're trying to make up for what they knew was wrong in the first place. 😁

As for his ratio of chatter to actual content, that’s just how he operates. But honestly, people don't really take those types of users seriously when most of their posts are just mindless small talk—especially when they turn around and complain about things they caused themselves, whether they meant to or not. 😁 If excessive chatting was already an issue for the moderators due to certain users constantly spamming, then this decision seems completely standard and expected. On the other hand, he filed his appeal normally, without ramping up the tension or flooding the board with links claiming others aren't being punished for the same thing. But I guess if warnings and strikes on individual threads weren't enough for him, then this appeal probably won't be much of a relief either. Maybe I'm wrong. 🙂

Lol, saying you have nothing against someone and then tearing them apart point by point.
And then there's people who actually think they can read my mind.
Kids.

Let's ask Mickey how many people will actually stay active.
The whole "who has more posts" argument is basically just kids arguing over whose dad is tougher. Mind your own business and hush.

mistyhound94, I’m aware of the situation regarding special privileges and the heightened sensitivity toward offenses following a partial ban.
These are pretty extreme circumstances—I don't intend to repeat them...

I believe I’ve made some actual contributions to both PDFs outside of standard chats or one-on-one conversations with certain members...
Generally speaking, I have started quite a few threads on this Reddit community.
A couple of those ended up in these two PDFs—some were heavily visited and commented on, covering points that went far beyond simple chatting (or horoscope talk)...
On the USA side, they include:
Breaks
Lessons from past relationships

And on the other site—which I’m still hoping for, though it isn't showing much potential right now:
Best sex of my life stories

Similar themes were covered over at the other forum;
Conflict resolution styles and handling disagreements

I shouldn't be viewed as just another mindless chatter who contributes nothing to the community.

Of course... I mean, how many posts do you actually have in the History section? A million, probably. And yeah—I don't think a single one of them shows up in the History chat room.

If anyone actually does hang out in the chat, I certainly don't remember seeing you there. 😁

I really love this Wikipedia thread. If nothing else, it’s at least a place where I can actually vent. Not that I was ever holding back on the other boards, though I definitely went way off-topic in the Offtopic section.
And look at me now, acting all high and mighty, lecturing everyone and playing by the rules...
Honestly, Wikipedia, you’re like a tumor—spreading fast and just destroying everything in your path.
There isn't a single thread where your posts haven't completely taken over, which is honestly one of the main reasons I decided to leave the forum. Don't go thinking the site lost anything because I left, but it certainly gained something long-term once you were dealt with.
God, you even managed to spark a whole debate about romantic poetry just by constantly chiming in on everyone else's music taste. And don't get me started on how you dragged astrology into everything, or how you picked fights with people over their right to start chats, citing your post count like it actually matters...

In your defense, maybe the partial ban is a bit harsh. I’d love to see them lift it if you could just limit your posting to stuff that’s actually readable and interesting.
Otherwise—as mistyhound94 puts it—if your only goal here is to compulsively spam posts, then thank God you’re temporarily blocked from doing just that.

You contribute to the site, I see—mostly regarding history and linguistics, plus some small stuff for the US and those other files. But that doesn't exactly change your reputation here. When you jump into a debate, you just turn it into a chat session. Don't get me wrong, I'm no saint, and I won't pretend nobody does this—myself included—but with you, it’s nothing but pure chatting. That's just a fact. It feels like the US and those files only lost someone who chats, which isn't much of a loss for the community. A real loss would be someone who contributed to countless different threads, including the chat, since that's part of the forum too. But for you, the chat always comes first.
I don't know if you're doing this on purpose or not, but maybe try actually reading the posts in threads you didn't start. When a discussion starts moving, you just jump in with some quick chat wrapped up as a reply to someone. It dilutes the whole topic. People lose interest in reading when things get cluttered like that, and then the thread just dies because it turned into nothing but mindless chatter or off-topic nonsense.

I’ll say it again: there were definitely warnings and strikes issued multiple times. If you still haven't realized you need to tone it down after all that, then I guess you've just dug your own grave and you're trying to wiggle out of it just to stay relevant on the subreddits where you used to be active. Honestly, maybe you should just take six months off—from the internet entirely, if needed—it might do you some good. Then come back when you're ready, because I doubt many of your appeals regarding partial bans will hold up; those don't get overturned easily. I know from experience, though I was much more aggressive and difficult with the moderators on Reddit, so a partial ban was inevitable for me too. But even here, I can tell the mods are getting sick of listening to the constant whining and reading through reports. This is just their way of reminding everyone that this is still a forum; this isn't real life, and people should probably start using the ignore button. 🙂

I should probably have a much larger footprint on this forum overall. 🕺

If you check the reply count on any given thread, you can see exactly who has contributed or how many times someone has weighed in.
I am certainly not the person with the most posts in any specific category.
Lately, my activity has been concentrated mostly on those four topics I mentioned earlier—one of which was about poetry—and that’s really it.
I apologize if it seems like I'm overposting; it isn't my intention to just pad my numbers for the sake of it.
Nor do I intend to get into arguments with anyone—I have no desire to waste anyone's time.

In any case, my focus will be shifting moving forward.

Look, Wikipedia, speaking as someone who’s been exactly where you are right now, I’d suggest reaching out to the moderators via private message to see what's actually going on. Just from what I saw the other day, watching you go head-to-head with one of the biggest drama queens and instigators on this site—and seeing how she brought someone else in just to stir the pot—it's pretty clear. It feels like things were set up against you, even if you did overstep the mark yourself. You know how it goes. It's not just on the person who talks someone into jumping off a bridge; it's also on the person who actually takes the leap. And you took that leap.

I’ve come to sign the book of mourning.
Trying to put a number on Wikipedia's contribution to this Reddit is basically impossible. It’s the kind of headache that’s going to plague amateur philosophy circles for years to come. Some people in the backchannels are already calling it the final great dilemma of the early 21st century.

I’ve been spiraling down this rabbit hole myself. I’ve wasted countless hours just staring at the screen, trying to make sense of this random phenomenon known as Wiki. You’ve got a guy who seemingly has a full life, yet somehow spends every single spare second chatting away. It's like he's spitting in the face of physics; the guy clearly found a glitch in the space-time continuum that lets him be present everywhere, all at once.
But let's try to wrap our heads around the moderator's decision:
If you ask an objectivist, someone who spams every single sub-thread is clearly breaking the rules, and big violations deserve big consequences.
A logician would probably point out how hypocritical it is to call others out for breaking rules while you're busy breaking them yourself.
The absurdists? They'd say Wiki's constant presence is just proof that we live in a confusing, nonsensical mess, and his activity is just part of the universe's inherent chaos.
Marxists would argue that Wiki is just the latest tool of the bourgeoisie, standing right between the proletariat—that's us users—and the monarchy—aka the mods. But who cares about that?
Personally, I'm leaning toward utilitarianism. At the end of the day, this place should actually serve a purpose. That means users should try to keep their posts somewhat relevant to the topic at hand. And with Wiki's posts? That rarely happens.
