I am assuming what Guy means is that he believes that you are doing something like the following Child goes to one parent and asks to do something Parent says no Rather than leaving it at that the child then asks the other parent the same thing hoping for a yes If the answer is still no the child goes and asks other relatives one at a time until the desired yes is obtained Now I am not saying that what Guy claims is true since I have not examined the content disputes Forum shopping doesnt have to involve multiposting over lots of peoples talk pages A hypothetical example might be a user who gets into a userconduct dispute with another He files a Wikiquette alert People say the second user did nothing wrong He then files a userconduct RfC alleging the same thing Gets the same response Goes to ANI with the same thing etc etc Now Im sure we all agree that doing that is a bad thing and is actually an attempt to game the system Hope this helps
