I'm submitting Izumi for an appeal for her permaban handed in 2007. The last actual vandalism by that user was years ago, and mostly due to conflict with Grim. Since then, the only thing the user ever has done was to edit her own group page [[Lockettside Valkyries]] - which wouldn't be a crime at all if it weren't for the ban evasion.

As the user still seems to have an interest into editing that page, I propose we give her a chance to do so legally and peacefully.

As this is bound to be a heated case, note that Permaban appeal only strikes the permaban escalation itself - all other escalations are kept. Just one infraction, and Izumi is again up for a permaban vote. Not much potential harm that couldn't be undone with a couple of button pushes. --'''<span style="font-family:monospace; background-color:#222222">[[User:Spiderzed|<span style="color:Lime"> Spiderzed</span>]][[User talk:Spiderzed|<span style="color:Lime">█ </span>]]</span>''' 19:16, 24 September 2011 (BST)
:Most of that is just factually incorrect. She committed a shitload of vandalism with her vandal alts (even if you don't count the ban evasion itself). Don't you remember all the instances of ''"you can't ban me (bwhahaha), and if you don't ignore my ban evasion, I'll wreck your wiki"'' type edits while vandalising admin and user pages? Grim was just the one who handed her the month ban, she earned all of her escalation up to, and past that point. She was fairly warned about the rules of the wiki, but she continued to edit other people's group pages regardless, and when finally banned, she just wigged out, creating hundreds of socks and vandalised even harder. The only reason she stopped, was because it had become painfully obvious to her that it was far easier for us to ban and revert her vandalism, than it was for her to commit it <small>-- [[User:Boxy|boxy]] 22:35, 24 September 2011 (BST)</small>
::Still not [[UDWiki:Administration/Vandal_Banning/Archive/2007_07#Izumi_Orimoto|reading]], eh Boxy? Once she knew that it was considered vandalism, she stopped reverting the edits, and was willing to take the case to arbitration to work it out. However, Mobius didn't want that, did he? You gave him exactly [[User_talk:Boxy/Moderation/2007#Why_Me.3F|what he asked for]]. --{{User:Akule/sig}} 23:21, 24 September 2011 (BST)
:::She knew it was against the rules.

It's not that big a deal, I admit, but worth a vandal escalation.

#Izumi shouldn't have been banned [[UDWiki:Administration/Vandal_Banning/Archive/2007_07#Izumi_Orimoto|here]], as both sides were in agreement that they would talk out the situation in arbitration, but despite the situation being defused, Boxy came in and ruled it vandalism without any other sysop input. It's not surprising however, since [[User_talk:Boxy/Moderation/2007#Why_Me.3F|Mobius asked boxy to nuke her]] by stating he was "being griefed", that she "needed a time out", despite not really talking things out. Oh sure, there was very little [[User_talk:Mobius187/Archive#SweetHikari|discussion]] before the "big gun" was brought out to weigh in, but you can clearly see that Izumi had no idea that editing the page was against the rules (''"Also, it is NOT against wiki rules to remove your own name from a page, be it group or otherwise. I know you probably believe you are more intelligent than me, but you are sadly mistaken. I don't dislike you or have any wish to offend you either. However, I will continue to take my name off of the list purely because I 'can'. Sorry for the inconvienience."''). However, when I look at [[User_talk:Mobius187/Archive#Promotion.3F|this response]] I can clearly see why Boxy was Mobius's go-to guy to get rid of people who didn't understand the rules of the wiki. No investigation to verify bad faith was done by Boxy. No consideration that the '''two sides were working it out themselves''', as '''clearly evident on the [[UDWiki:Administration/Vandal_Banning/Archive/2007_07#Izumi_Orimoto|edits on the 28th on the A/VB page]] AND on Mobius's talk page'''. Nope. Mobius asks for a ban, and gets exactly that. After all, a ban was faster for Mobius, instead of explaining the rules: "''Personally I would prefer not to have this go through the trouble of arbitration, if only because I know that it will only serve waste more of my free time.''" Once the rules were explained to Izumi: "''I'm willing to go through arbitration. All I want is my name off the damn list, I'm not trying to be "malicious" or cause problems! Arghhhhh!!!''" But, hey. It's easier to ban someone who doesn't understand the rules, when you are the only one ruling on it, right? --{{User:Akule/sig}} 23:09, 24 September 2011 (BST)
#Anyone who believes Izumi has any interest in vandalism severely overestimates her amount of free time. I genuinely believe that her sole interest is access to her group page and so forth, and from what little background research I've done my conclusion is that she wasn't treated fairly in the first place, which may have prompted her instances of bad behavior. I've also come across records of her attempting to seek administrative assistance in order to reach a less harsh punishment, only to have other administrators block her progress. I don't see the harm of giving her a second chance, especially considering it wouldn't take any effort to re-ban her.  [[User:Sage of Winds|Sage of Winds]] 06:08, 25 September 2011 (BST)

#No. Izumi is only fun because she turns up avoiding bans and there's always a bit of banter.

If there's anybody on the wiki who needs to stay permabanned, it's Izumi. Hell, I'd rather we unbanned 3pwv, at least he had class.

#Honestly, [[User_talk:Izumi_Orimoto|this]] would tell me everything I'd need to know if I weren't there for the case but, since I was, I can tell you for a matter of fact that while Grim enjoyed banning her alts so did Thari, Karlsbad, Boxy, and every other sysop at the time, he had no significant role in her escalations she earned those through legitimate acts of vandalism. Her ban wasn't Grim induced, although people did harass her ''after'' the fact through the alts she constantly made, and though Grim caught the lions share of those he was not a player of note in her banning, that's on [[UDWiki:Administration/Vandal_Banning/Archive/2007_07#Izumi_Orimoto|Boxy and Mobius]]. ''Izumi's behavior was consistently the same her whole time on the wiki''.

I supposedly have met the criteria for de-escalation, I think. I'm a bit rusty on this here wiki and out of touch on most of the rules. However, I'm told I can be put up for this, etc.

At the end of the day, at least it will erase that warning/ban I got in ancient wiki history (wikistory?) that was later overturned but never removed.

{{PolicyVotingRules}}
I'm submitting Amazing up for an appeal to his permaban handed in 2006 as per an informal promise I made to him via email. As was discussed in a recent policy discussion [[UDWiki:Administration/Policy Discussion/Unban Amazing|here]], there are many users wishing for Amazing to return to the wiki despite his permaban handed in 06 which has been arguably done under sketchy circumstances. I wasn't there so I won't take sides.

Anyways, many of the votes against him were more concerned with the way the voting was handled via A/PD and I don't think it was particularly reflective on whether Amazing was deemed by the community to be allowed back more than the way the vote was made on the wiki, and unfortunately the only one who loses out because of that is Amazing.

Description aside, chances are if you're interesting in this vote or Amazing's future you've already been involved in the voting processes behind the Unban Amazing policy [[UDWiki:Administration/Policy Discussion/Unban Amazing|here]] or the [[UDWiki:Administration/Policy Discussion/Permaban Appeal|Permaban Appeal]] policy recently approved to accommodate users like this, so I'll stop crapping on and leave the vote open.

N.B. I notice the lack of tact in posting this up a day after the policy I wrote just went through, but this is something I personally told Amazing I'd do regardless of bias or opinion and I'm already a month overdue on that promise, so please forgive that.

# I wasn't around during his banning either but I've tried to catch up on it as much as possible. I'm not sure what happened during the early history and why other ops got all uppity with him but what is clear is that they handled it poorly after the 48 hour ban. Perhaps they didn't have the proper tools to handle it properly but there was definitely some shitbaggery going on. For this reason, and because he has shown interest in returning, I think Amazing's Perma can be lifted. {{User:Vapor/sig}} <sub>17:02, 8 April 2011</sub>
