"we should probably stop replying to them"

Hello MSGJ,

Not sure if you intended this, but simultaneously asking people to stop responding while you yourself take the right to continue doing so comes across as hypocritical. You engaged with Teterev53 on their talk page and one hour later told me and others on ANI to not do the same. Please consider putting the same trust in other editors you expect us to put in you.

Hello, MSGJ,

I hate to send you CSD C1 notices but it looks like these categories were intended to be temporary. Hope all is well with you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 18:10, 8 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Ooh, that means DreamRimmer's bot has done its job. Thank you DreamRimmer! — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 20:16, 8 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Closing too soon

Just in case you missed my ping in a sea of notifications, I just want to point out that your community ban on Larry Singer was acted too quickly and is likely to be challenged. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 15:30, 22 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

It's a block not a ban — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 15:44, 22 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

No, it's a ban, because, per your own words, you were enacting consensus, and per our policies, consensus to indef is a cban. It says so right at WP:CBAN. Look, you pull the trigger, you file the paperwork. You need to either clarify that this is a unilateral admin block and not the enactment of consensus (bad idea! don't do it!) or else follow the procedures at WP:CBAN (which prob means undoing the block and waiting until the 72hrs is up). Levivich (talk) 16:08, 22 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I blocked per the strong consensus for the indefinite block at the time, but I was not invoking a community ban because (i) there were relatively few comments on that aspect, (ii) I recognise the additional bureaucratic requirements of a ban, and (iii) there was still discussion about other options including a partial block. Therefore I deliberately did not "close" the thread, to allow that discussion to continue. I have re-read WP:CBAN and acknowledge the potential confusion, so apologies if this muddied the water. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 07:46, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Are you going to release a statement on the block? Guz13 (talk) 16:11, 22 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

You really should - it's fishy to be absent in the entire discussion while enacting an out-of-procedure block and not explain yourself. ~2026-36357-96 (talk) 04:40, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
