User:PetyrB has been blocked

User:PetyrB has been blocked. He was Markman. It will be much harder for him to give a repeat performance. And if he manages to give a repeat performance, it will be very short lived. Conservative 17:14, 7 July 2014 (EDT)

He blocked everyone except me. I feel left out. PeterKa 22:23, 7 July 2014 (EDT)
I wasn't blocked either. GregG 22:58, 7 July 2014 (EDT)
I notice that he blocked you three times last year. Perhaps he's mellowed. PeterKa 00:09, 8 July 2014 (EDT)

Becoming an editor of good standing may become harder for someone like him, but I fear that it will be next to impossible for an honest newcomer! Without a strong motivation (for me, it is the my outrage about the disservice the CBP does to the Bible - and a bewilderment when reading about physics), you won't have the dedication to overcome the obstacles into which you are running here at Conservapedia: It took me quite an effort to find a way to appeal my first blocks!


It's at Catch-22 situation: If you make errors - as any newbie will do - you get blocked, and most probably just quit. Newcomers who don't make errors are most probably reincarnations who learned the ropes in a couple of earlier lives. --AugustO 17:41, 23 July 2014 (EDT)

Short note

If you ever get banned again, let me know at HERE and I will unblock you. Conservative 13:57, 11 July 2014 (EDT)

If he is blocked he will not be able to notify you. He will have been blocked surely? There really does need to be a better way to contact admins here in the case of parodists like markman blocking people imo. Davidspencer 14:27, 11 July 2014 (EDT)
He can create another user account solely for the purpose of contacting me at another IP address.
Ok, I will remember that in case markman comes back. He previously banned me several times as well Davidspencer 14:41, 11 July 2014 (EDT)
Fine, just be patient. I am not sure how often the mailbox will be checked, but it will definitely be checked from time to time. And you can always contact other admins too. It makes sense to mitigate any damage caused by a rogue blocker whose blocking privileges are short lived. Conservative 14:50, 11 July 2014 (EDT)
From the Conservapedia commandments page: "Administrators have discretion to act on matters not specifically mentioned here, such as vandalism and sockpuppets."[1] Common sense discretion can be exercised by Conservapedia administrators. Conservative 14:39, 11 July 2014 (EDT)


Has hope he will be more amiable should he return

User:Conservative, you blocked me arbitrarily for three days ("needlessly being quarrelsome"), and then you unblocked me, equally arbitrarily. Are you really thinking that this leads to amiability? No, it stirred my curiosity. I reread our exchange at Talk:Generalized linear model and digged a little deeper into the matters discussed:


content created by User:Conservative User:AugustO and subject to Conservapedia's copyright policy Why was this page deleted? From my personal files:

AugustO, I thought you were merely whining. You said you wanted the article improved, yet were unwilling to do the work to improve it. Conservative 18:42, 23 July 2014 (EDT)
How does your petty insult ("whining") justify the deletion of this talk page? Below I showed my willingness to improve the sorry state of this article by collaborating with you! --AugustO 07:46, 24 July 2014 (EDT)
I may write articles on Correlation and dependence and Spearman's rank correlation coefficient and Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient in the future. By the way, Vox Day wrote an interesting article entitled Statistical misleadings. Conservative 13:51, 24 July 2014 (EDT)

--AugustO 16:34, 24 July 2014 (EDT)

While you still haven't answer my question about the deletion of the talk-page, I came to the conclusion that my mentioning of the Question evolution! book for middle school students triggered the deletion of the revisions and my block. You seem to be on an Orwellian campaign to erase this book from memory, a campaign which bodes ill for the trustworthiness of Conservapedia. --AugustO 18:42, 27 July 2014 (EDT)


This is too complicated for an outsider to follow. The important point is that AugustO, who earned the respect of many CP editors is back, and I welcome his contributions. I hope that we can all learn to live together in content-creation-harmony. Wschact 19:38, 27 July 2014 (EDT)

Harmony is important, but honesty, too - especially at a trustworthy encyclopedia. --AugustO 19:45, 27 July 2014 (EDT)

Project

Would you like to collaborate with other editors on a wiki project to help Conservapedia be a strong resource for a given topic.

The topic could be decided by the editors participating.

If you are interested, please go to: The collaborative project. Conservative 22:02, 25 December 2014 (EST)

I'm a little surprised by this "project". A wiki should per se be a collaborative project: I tend to jump on subjects which pique my interest (without an additional layer of administration.) Major obstacles for collaboration on Conservapedia's articles are for me:
  • Some sysops think they own certain articles, and will keep up their preferred version without engaging in a meaningful discussion on the talk-page (see e.g., E=mc²). Some sysops even prevent editing of their pet articles by locking them - I think that you, User:Conservative, are the main culprit when it comes to this tactic!
  • Collaboration prerequisites a certain degree of maturity and honesty. You, User:Conservative, don't have at least one of these characteristics: for example, the "we are many" - charade is just infantile. And how do I know that you won't create new dummy accounts to manipulate discussions? You haven't come clean about User:Historybuff, therefore I don't know whether you will take such crooked steps again.
--AugustO 08:11, 28 December 2014 (EST)
Are you claiming that merely one person is editing using the User: Conservative account? If so, considering your insistence that merely one person is editing using the account, what proof and evidence do you have for this claim? Your little tirade here is not impressive. Also, if you are such a big fan of collaboration, why can't the totality of User: Conservative's edits be a team effort? If "User:Conservative" allows a conservative friend or friends to also use the account, what is that to you?
Next, a very small percentage of my/our articles are locked in terms of editing them. Conservative 22:07, 30 December 2014 (EST)
