sarsaparilla in brief here's his history he was involved in proposing with abd something called delegable proxy i wasn't involved in that but i gather that his contributions were perceived as disruptive and he was blocked indefinitely he used sockpuppets to evade this block eventually his block was lifted and he resumed editing openly as user obuibo mbstpo many of his edits with this account were perceived as very annoying he opposed all deletion for example and would make significant changes to policy pages without advance discussion citing wp bold and wp brd he also proposed new policies that could only be described as bizarre for example allowing people to treat wikipedia like myspace if they agreed to put google ads on their user pages some people wanted to re block him for this i continually argued against doing so he created obuibo mbstpo a hoax article about a fictitious nigerian parliamentarian when confronted about this he fabricated a source to defend the article he was blocked again he used sockpuppets to evade this ban he eventually took responsibility for the hoax article and fabricating the source once he did this i advocated eventually successfully for his unblock once unblocked he created an article on the easter bunny hotline a phone number which while existent was clearly non notable he was blocked again as a result i stated that i considered this block unjustified but that i wasn't going to exert any energy to get him unblocked since i was pretty sure he'd created the easter bunny article in bad faith he used socks to evade his blocks he expressed an interest in appealing his case to arb comm i told him that if he agreed to edit only the arbitration pages i would unblock him to do so moreover i stated that i would advocate for a partial unbanning under those circumstances he responded to this by declining my offer and continuing to sockpuppet it's true that he's never actually been disruptive in parliamentary procedure articles at least to my knowledge i don't care he's clearly here primarily to disrupt and the project needs him gone
