Trying to protest a ban. Issued by Crazy sam10 for "Inserting nonsense/gibberish into pages."

The only instance I can think of where what I did could be called this was when myself, and many others, were having a good laugh at the repetitive NPC phrases in New Vegas by posting some examples. This was on the comments section of a blog post though, a place where I've noticed things are a little more relaxed. I certainly was not vandalizing random User pages or articles. Maybe Sam didn't find what I, and a few others, were doing funny. That's fine, not everyone needs to understand my sense of humor as it can get a little weird/warped at times. We certainly weren't hurting anyone, hurting the site, or causing any problems. Deleting my comments, well, I suppose I can understand that one. But a one day ban over this seems overly harsh and a simple "You did this wrong, don't do it again" would have served much better. Because, as it stands, this is only a guess at my alleged wrongdoing. I don't even know if this is why I got banned!

So please, I'd like to know exactly what I was banned for. Why what I did was so wrong of me, a long time resident of The Vault, that it warranted a one day ban. And if at all possible, I'd like this ban overturned. Panzer89 19:00, July 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * You were given the ban because yes you spammed on the Blog, doing this is against policy so you got the approprite block, just because your "a long time resident of The Vault" will not change how long the ban stands for, you saw what was happanding and you had a choice, tell an admin, do nothing, or get invloved, option A and B would have left you unblocked. - RASIC Talk User blog:Crazy sam10 19:14, July 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * I still believe a warning along with an explanation of what I did along with a nice "Don't do this again" would have been sufficient. It's really sad to see my speculation over the reason of my ban was correct, it was a simple, harmless one post, joke. It's not as if we had worked to fill the entire front page of the blog comments up with one quote or I had collaborated in the malicious spamming of a page. But hey, if that's how things are going to be around here I guess I'm done attempting to have any fun or make any jokes. I also guess I'll need to report anyone I see trying to have a laugh or make a joke as well. Panzer89 19:25, July 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * What you did wasn't funny, it was spam, every comment there was spam, and you choose to get involved, as such you went against policy and I banned you, I have no reason to give you a don't do it again as you were one of the people who put the comment there about 20-30 times over, so you clearly wanted to do it. - RASIC Talk User blog:Crazy sam10 19:33, July 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * Like I said, you don't have to find it funny. But just to clarify, posting a comment once is fine, but your estimate of 20 - 30 (Which I highly doubt I even did that much, not like I can even check now though) is not. Well what about 5 times? or 10 times? I mean if repetition is part of the joke, it can be funny, maybe not to you, but to me and others it is. So where do we draw the line?

 * Now your being funny, I looked at that comment and you had put it much more than 5 or 10 times, also you said yourself you contemplated telling an admin, if that was the case you shouldn't have got involved, instead you chose to get involved in the event and, surprise surprise, an admin blocked you. - RASIC Talk User blog:Crazy sam10 20:07, July 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * Again, I'd like to know where the line is. At what point does repetition based humor become spam? Panzer89 20:11, July 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * You can't see it because it's been deleted, and as I said it wasn't funny, so without humor it's just repitition, and just repitition on a blog is spam. - RASIC Talk User blog:Crazy sam10 20:21, July 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * 25 times repeating the same line is beyond humor and can well be considered spam. I've taken a look at the wiki's policy which states that spam will be deleted by staff and can be grounds for blocking a user. The duration of the block is up to the discretion of the admin. Sam has decided to apply the rules and decide for a 3-day block. JspoelJspoel Vault Boy.png 20:23, July 14, 2011 (UTC)

Wow, this is just getting sad. Panzer89 20:31, July 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * Why? Because your clearly in the wrong and now 2 admins are having to tell you that? - RASIC Talk User blog:Crazy sam10 20:40, July 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * Ignorance of or failure to follow the policies of the Vault is no excuse. The rules exist for a reason regardless of if you agree with them. If you break the rules, then you have to accept the fact that there will be repercussions for such action. The rules are blind to such things as humour for very good reasons, because humour is subjective. User avatar tag.gif Avatar talk.png

I just love the way it wipes all your typing when someone else adds a comment, I just love it. As much as I love an Admin gangbang, I'm not talking myself into a permaban. I'll accept my three ban and do so smiling. Not because I agree with you, but because I respect the rules of the site and enjoy using it. So cheers! See you in three days!

 * For insulting other editors in your last comment, the block has been extended to 5 days. JspoelJspoel Vault Boy.png 21:22, July 14, 2011 (UTC)
