:::I think the suspicion is [[User:RadMatter]] as well, for more context in making this decision. Personally, I'd be inclined to give 'em one more chance on the sockpuppet issue. And I do mean one more. But that's me. I've defended DiS more than most on here reasonably would, for some bizarre reason.

::::See also [[User:FanSurfer123]]. DiS has made many excellent edits regarding stories and series that seemingly no one else is interested in covering. At one point an interesting idea was floated of a namespace-specific block, such as banning from Talk and User_talk pages but continuing to allow Main namespace edits. Najawin, I agree with you about another chance. – [[User:NateBumber|n8]] ([[User talk:NateBumber|☎]]) 14:43, 25 October 2023 (UTC)


I've never been a fan of these amnesties. A block amnesty would unlock everyone, including several outright trolls/vandals. It's better to individually assess each user instead of freeing everyone, including the guy who used to regularly attack [[User:Doug86]] or the guy who lied about being the wiki's founder so he could access admin rights.

And the problem with sock puppetry is users trying to get around blocks. It makes the block useless if someone is allowed to continue editing, though under another name. [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 01:13, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
