Regarding your block of [[User:Vapmachado|Vapmachado]]

Hi.

I got an e-mail about your block of Vapmachado for "Intimidating behaviour/harassment". I looked very briefly at his contributions and nothing struck me off-hand (and there are no deleted contributions). Given that it was an indefinite block (with no prior blocks on this wiki) and that you didn't leave any kind of note on his talk page explaining your actions, it seemed rather strange. Were there particular edits or parts of edits that you viewed as problematic? What were those (can you link me to them)? Was there any other justification for the block beyond edits to this wiki?

I told him that I'd review the block even though I told him it was likely that I would find it deserved. He also asked for access to some subpage he was working on. I restored the page and moved it to his user space. Nothing on it seemed particularly problematic, though let me know if there's something I'm missing there as well.

Thanks!

Honestly, There wasn't that much of a thought that went into it. He wrote something creepy and abrasive that might or might not have had private info, but then added it as a subpage to the march update, giving the appearance that it was part of it. I found the references and the tone in the first 2 para before his suggestions - creepy and intimidating. He wasn't as active before that and has indef. blocks on several other wikis including Meta [1] for privacy issues among other concerns. At first, Indefinite Block might have seemed excessive, I agree and I would have re-considered, until he wrote his usual attack email to me. He did not request an unblock from me, until he either does that or apologizes for his tone in the email, I refuse to reconsider. There Is no sense in applying en.wp guidelines here, strategy wiki is not active, it has opted in for for GS under SWMT [2] and his x-wiki history can be a factor.

As for his 'open letter', I still find it quiet creepy and harassing. He's using references to PO boxes, and is being generally creepy in the second paragraph.

Hmm, okay. Fair enough. I think it's reasonable that he apologize and make assurances to not repeat his problematic behavior, particularly given his cross-wiki issues.

I'll say that the fact that this wiki is not active is all the more reason that what people do here generally doesn't matter, unless it's particularly harmful. That is, there isn't much to disrupt, so the threshold for indefinite blocks should be higher, not lower, in my opinion.

Thanks for the quick reply!
