Request reason:

It looks like an overly broad and long block is causing collateral damage. Please assist. Thanks. 17:04, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Unfortunately, abusive users sometimes make such blocks necessary to protect Wikipedia. Your options are to wait the 19 more days, or for immediate access to editing most articles, create an account(which the block permits). 331dot (talk) 20:54, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

Request reason:

It looks like an overly broad and long block is causing collateral damage. Please assist. Thanks. Despite what 331dot said it does not appear that the block permits anyone to make an account, so please assist. 17:04, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

Decline reason:

This block does not prohibit account creation. You are also free to use WP:ACC. We will not be lifting this block. Yamla (talk) 22:06, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

Request reason:

I tried the "Create account" link and it just sat and sat and timed out. The block is stopping account creation. Please assist and not be rude.

Decline reason:

If "Create account" isn't working, I suggest you try Wikipedia:Request an account. PhilKnight (talk) 23:23, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

That's not how blocks prevent account creation. It sounds like an issue with your device or internet access. You don't have to believe me, check the block log. 331dot (talk) 22:40, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

Request reason:

I can see everything else in wikipedia I click on. "Click Account" just keeps waiting and waiting and times out. I am asking for help, not insults and ugly condescension. Please assist.

Decline reason:

Not buying this. If this was an issue, we would have more reports of it. It appears the block is working in it's intended purpose. RickinBaltimore (talk) 12:54, 7 September 2023 (UTC)

Do you get anywhere with this link? --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 03:23, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

Whatever is causing your issue, it isn't the block. You would get a specific message saying it was the block, if it were. This isn't "ugly condescension", it's just reality. No one here has been ugly with you. 331dot (talk) 07:55, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

The block log entry states "12:40, September 4, 2023 Tamzin talk contribs block blocked 76.142.0.0/16 talk with an expiration time of 20 days (anon. only) ({{rangeblock|create=yes}})" If the block prevented account creation, it would say "account creation blocked" next to "anon only". 331dot (talk) 07:57, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

@331dot Based on tone and gaslight-y approach, I'd bet you one month's admin salary that this is still the block's intended recipient. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she|they|xe) 20:45, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

No bet. 331dot (talk) 21:05, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
