asssiveego has posted his RfA and I have blocked him for it  Hello I have blocked Masssiveego for his antics on WikipediaRequests for adminshipMasssiveego which seems like a clear attempt to draw fire from people bitter with his own antics on RfA with a minimalist nomination and tongueincheek answers to the questions He seems to have induced a bite from Pschemp at least This lasts for a week I previously did this for WikipediaRequests for adminshipThe Mad Bomber for trolling his own RfA Please review and feel free to protest on my talk page Blnguyen  BLabberiNg   Sounds about right Cyde Weys       Good call  Samir            I dont see any issues with this block Pure WPPOINT Can we close the RfA Or does it need to be a crat alphaChimp laudare   I was thinking of blocking him myself so obviously I endorse the block Its rather obvious that hes trolling for attention with all this RfA stuff lets just not feed him and move on Wmarsh   RFA has been closed Support block  Chacor                   Hey should I close it then Its already WPSNOWballing with opposes and he is blocked after all  Glen   shit   edit conflicts later its been done S                      Sheesh if you use the shortcut at least shorten the verb to WPSNOWing I want snow P  Chacor                           I added an extra day to the block for  and  CanadianCaesar Et tu Brute   edit  Exhausting community patience  Once again its time to bring this up Hes coming close to exhausting the communitys patience in my view Thoughts  Chacor       Not yet I would not have blocked him at all for starting the RfA In fact i think SNOWing this RfA was a bad idea Rather I would have let it run the full  days Having  opposes might have finally gotten through to this editor that he needs to reconsider his approach But with the RfA snowed hes got ammo to say we arent treating him right etc Lar tc           Perhaps but there just isnt a reason to let trolls stay  Chacor               Is this user a flat out troll Sure close the book right away Or is he rescuable if rescuable is it worth the effort thats how I evaluate the question of whether community patience is exhausted I dont think ME is a flat out troll His contributions are light so not a LOT of effort is justified but Im not convinced he is not rescuable Contrast with Tobias next thread CLEARLY not a troll has a big contribution record therefore worth a fair bit of effort but Im starting to think not rescuable Make sense Lar tc   Would we simply be gratifying him by letting the RfA run Blnguyen  BLabberiNg       Hard to say Im not too sussed either way but I did want to throw out that on balance gratified or not this is one time that SNOW isnt the right thing to do In my view anyway Lar tc           I think closing it was the right thing to do to avoid disruption Blocking him I dont know whether hes a good faith user or not and I suspect probably not but Im generally upset by the level of blocking going on in Wikipedia at the moment The Land        I think the Masssiveegos RFA voting is a problem and unhelpful but I think imposing blocks for it is a rather drastic measure A much better penalty would be for the RFA closing bureaucrats to systematically disregard his votes Regarding the RFA I agree with Lar that I would not have blocked him for that either and that a hundred opposes on what is in effect an editor peer review might convey the message far more clearly than a block ever will Sjakkalle Check       I agree with Lar and Sjakkalle Haukur       Users are allowed to use whatever criteria they like in RfAs His are high and somewhat arbitrary but thats his perogative He feels that there are problems with some admins and thus that the process should be more strictchanged He has a right to that opinion and should not be persecuted for it Obviously his RFA selfnom wasnt meant to be a serious attempt but I also dont see where it caused any significant disruption justifying a block CBD            It was obvious
