Requests for Comment/Reverse community ban on User:Lawrence-Prairies

Reverse community ban on User:Lawrence-Prairies
I would like to request a reversal of the RFC that banned me from the community. I was banned unjustly and I believe that I do not deserve to be permanently banned from the community. As this request for comment is designed regarding the future of myself and my actions, I reserve the right to:


 * Remove any comments, support or oppose, that insult, threaten, discredit, or otherwise harass myself
 * Disallow addition of new proposals. I determine what the proposals are - and if none of them pass, it can be assumed that things will be left as is, with no action being taken at this time.
 * Ask for further clarification on a comment, and the user who made the comment must do so.
 * Challenge the factual accuracy and/or bias of a comment, and the user who made the comment may defend themselves

Initial reason for this appeal
I apologize for the actions that myself, MatthewPW, and Amanda have engaged in that caused trouble to Miraheze and its staff members. I can't really explain the reasoning for such actions at this time. Looking on them, I myself think that they were uncalled for and unjustified, and have no reason whatsoever to support what I/we did. There is absolutely no reason whatsoever for a user of Miraheze to attempt to ban out the staff members from their wiki just because they did something regarding the global community that they did not approve of. It is also not appropriate for one user to try and make big changes in a community repeatedly, even after they have been denied. I honestly do not understand and cannot comprehend what we were thinking/doing in the past months.

I hope that you will forgive us and will accept this sincere apology. I really have looked just about everywhere and there is nothing out there as good as Miraheze in terms of MediaWiki hosting.

Proposal 1

 * Only one of us three will contribute to Miraheze altogether
 * That one person will create a brand-new account, username TBD
 * The new user will request a brand-new wiki
 * The new wiki will be the only area of contribution. No participation in global matters at all.
 * "No participation in global matters" also includes Phabricator and IRC
 * Excluded is the ability to make GitHub PR's for our personal wiki

Oppose

 * No, not under any circumstance. GethN7 (talk) 01:11, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
 * You evaded your ban to ask that the ban be lifted - this shows that the ban should be maintained. You go on to "reserve the right to" do particular things - this shows that you do not understand why the ban was put in place in the first place. In my opinion, you should have no place here and should never have a place here. --Robkelk (talk) 01:33, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Let me clarify one thing. I didn't "evade the ban to ask that the ban be lifted". told me that this was the proper way to go about appealing. In fact, I can provide the evidence from the IRC logs:


 * <4:31 pm JohnLewis> You're clearly able to evade, so use the evade to appeal instead of fucking making things worse.
 * <4:37 pm JohnLewis> The process is to write an appeal on the wiki or where ever


 * Do you think that I'm not going to do what a steward told me to do in this situation? I can't use my original account nor any of the other accounts I created, as they are all globally locked and/or locally hardblocked. Prairies-Lawrence (talk) 01:42, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Fine - you evaded your ban, then asked that your ban be lifted. The important part is that you evaded your ban. Also, do not change my comments without my express permission - which you do not have. --Robkelk (talk) 01:50, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

Comments

 * You are a troublemaker and have proven yourself a blight on this wiki farm. You have engaged in actions harmful to the harmony of the community here, attempted to sabotage operations here, and have threatened users and staff because you were justly punished and you could not tolerate that. I believe Miraheze is better off without you in any shape or form. GethN7 (talk) 01:11, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

Proposal 2
Still only one of us three will be contributing to Miraheze, however we will be involved in global matters, both on Meta, on Phabricator, and making GitHub PR's for other users. However, with this proposal, we pledge the following:


 * We will not request checkuser, oversight and/or steward access
 * We will not request that new extensions be reviewed/installed
 * We will not try to disable preinstalled extensions
 * We will not sanction stewards or sysadmins in response to global issues. They will only be sanctioned if they directly violate local policies on the specific wiki (not on Meta)
 * We will not attempt to override global user permissions assigned to stewards/sysadmins

Oppose

 * No, not under any circumstance. GethN7 (talk) 01:11, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

Overall comment on the entire RfC
It has only been 27 days since the decision was made to institute this ban. Why are we discussing this at all? --Robkelk (talk) 01:40, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Because I/we strongly believe that I/we was/were banned unjustly in the first place. Prairies-Lawrence (talk) 01:46, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
