interaction ban not working i'm not waiting hours sorry i don't know if that even applies to everyone or just to the editors under the ban but i don't really care to be honest this is out of hand it's absolutely ridiculous what i p is turning into on wikipedia and it is largely a result of this interaction ban which is broken on a nearly daily basis it is pitting the two sides against each other and it has gotten worse than i have ever seen it the interaction ban is not working therefore i hope that you will do something else that can help this situation before it completely falls apart here are the newest violations of the interaction ban i know you are already aware of the post that was made at an i it had a direct mention of mbz by factomancer through diffs it was not a complaint about an interaction ban violation on mbz 's part so there was no reason for factomancer to be mentioning mbz you responded at that an i and didn't do anything about it so i guess you didn't consider it a violation for some reason maybe because she attempted to strike out and delete the request after the fact although personally that makes it worse in my eyes but clearly i'm not the admin anyway past an i she put the same violation on her user page here it is also a clear violation of wp up polemic soon after she also removed this information replacing the content with this stating that she is going on a long break she has done this before when she has gotten herself into big trouble only to change her mind after a couple of days and come back as we can see her temporary break in that case didn't change her behaviour as here we are once again i'm truly tired of dealing with this crap last year we actually had some sort of collaboration going on in i p on wikipedia before we had to deal with issues like this to this severity at least a combination of a few new users coming into the i p struggle relatively recently have turned it into a real warzone between the two sides and i don't like it i don't think other people like it either it is having an extremely detrimental effect on the encyclopedia in the i p area because not only is so much of our time wasted fighting and defending each other in constant ae and an i reports or sitting out short bans for minor infractions but even aside from that it just isn't rewarding or feasible to try to contribute and collaborate anymore there is no longer an expectation that posting something constructive on a talk page will lead to discussion from people who disagree there is no point of making significant edits to articles because they are simply followed up by quick reverts often with no edit summary i was planning on coming up with some conclusion to this complaint to convince you to take action but you know what typically as of late i've even lost my motivation to do that i just don't care it's a waste of time and probably won't get the atmosphere between editors back to what it used to be anyway the problem is that all you can do or are willing to do anyway is impose bans based strictly upon the word of the rules interpreted specifically based on the individual situation if you took a minute to look at the big picture and understand the impact that certain users are having on the entire i p editing community with their constant infractions and battles maybe you would think of a different solution
