I hope you won't immediately dismiss me for trying to come back at all simply because unlike last time, I'll be honest as to my identity from the beginning of my plea of forgiveness. I am Chantal71, who was blocked by the user OluapPlayer on November the 4th of last year, and I come to attempt to plead my case today, on the 1st of April, because if this attempt to end the multiple blocks that I have had inflicted upon me by my actions and the reactions to my actions were to fail, at least you'd be able to pass it off as an April Fool's joke, as from the time when my actions were made known, I have been considered a liar, and as such, I certainly must be so. I hope to make clear in the following statements in a reasonable tone that although I can understand why I deserved a block at least for my most recent incident, my actions did not merit a block of this length, and to explain as many reasons as possible as to why, all the while hoping to end the stigma against me from some of the more well-known users on this Wiki.

It would be fair to begin with an explanation of my current block, for the first of my indefinite blocks has already been resolved, and therefore should not be implicated, although it is largely responsible for the first escalation involded in the current block. Having apologised to those whom I had harrassed shortly before recieving my initial two-week block, I had also pointed out a certain point of similarity between the user who gave me my first indefinite block and the user who gave one of the harrassed his/her indefinite block, precisely one year ago from this date, and criticised both for this and the similar nature of their actions towards us. While I can understand the subsequent warning for cross-wiki drama that I recieved, and could argue that criticism should be accepted by people in positions of authority to help better, among other things, their judgment, I am more strongly opposed to what took place two days later, but can nevertheless that even then, I had a hand in it due to a fault in my own judgment.

On November the 2nd, I made a thread as an anonymous user to attempt to communicate with an acquaintance from another Wiki, but then went to the IRC to ask for it's locking, as I had subsequently decided not to pursue communications with him. It was also then that the aforementioned incident for cross-wiki drama came to light, if I'm not mistaken. Two days later, on the night that would become that of my current block, he had made his own thread to communicate with me, beginning a particularly foolish and wasteful act on my part, in that I once again went to the IRC, at a time of which the previous revelation of my actions had made most of the users hostile towards me. I had hoped to get the thread I made two days earlier unlocked to talk to him there, which was futile because I could simply have continued on the thread that he made, but I was concerned that if I were to talk on my own account, that people from his community would find me as well, which I did not want due to a recent cessation of activity, and along with it, an opportunity to stay hidden while observing progress there, as a few months earlier, I had planned to go on a hiatus from their roleplay. However, although I could've simply asked the communicating user to keep this a secret, I had instead hoped to keep the conversation secret by other means, but the users in the IRC disagreed with my flawed chain of thought, and urged me to continue on the existing thread. The reason I did remain in wait on IRC despite that could be considered largely questionable, in that I chose to wait for you, Wormulon, to tell me, as I was uncertain as to who on the IRC was an administrator or not, as given their standing on the Wiki, they all seemed to be on the same level, and I therefore paid no further attention to their Wiki statuses. Furthermore, although I do not remember if Technobliterator had been involved, I'd likely have ignored him/her as well despite knowing that he/she was an administrator from my previous indefinite block, due to mistrust from that incident. Even afterwards, I stayed for a short while afterwards to respond to the hostile comments given to me by the users who were on then. I particularly remember mentioning something about desiring to eventually leave the Internet, but owing to the tightness of the situation, I was not given the chance to elaborate before recieving a block with a description relating to those comments of mine. I now believe that a suitable explanation for what I tried to say would be closure, in that I have brought content to this Wiki's fictional universe, and in so doing, I seek to be able to reach a plausible conclusion that I know to be that which I have planned for and made happen.

I do not remember for certain if I was still in the IRC when they blocked me from it, but I know that I was not there when they blocked me from this Wiki as well. While my warning from two days earlier regarded cross-wiki drama, which was technically involved in this block itself, but apparently not directly, OluapPlayer's block regarded intimidating behavior and/or harrassment, yet the irony is that I do not remember directly insulting anyone there, nor using offensive language, while according to my memory, he/she had used a profanity at one point. I assume that your IRC has a complete archive, so I think it would be possible to verify these claims of mine. I'm certain that in the eyes of the administrators, even if this situation weren't mine in particular, the blocked user's offenses, even if unrelated, would still be part of the same problem, and therefore both meritorious of a block when within the warning's period of effect. Even then, what I've done, essentially an exercise in free speech followed by two unnessecary requests, isn't so unforgivable as to block me in potential perpetuity. Perhaps upwards of a year or two, but why should anyone block me indefinitely for crossing his/her path the wrong way if it isn't anything as bad as, for example, spamming or genuine acts of harrassment? Even ThunderLord1234, who's been harrassing and sockpuppeting in the space of the past week, has a comparatively shorter block than what I've recieved. I also have reason to believe that past offenses on my part, although entitling me to a long duration of a block, doesn't nessecarily merit a potentially eternal block. Cumulatively, the quantity of non-indefinite block time I've recieved since joining in 2014, both under my username and as an anonymous user, has been one month and two weeks. Again, I can see why a repeat offense following that could get me blocked for half a year, perhaps a full year at the most, but I don't understand the reasoning behind blocking me indefinitely, on either occasion that it's happened to me.

To end my explanation of my past actions and my views on them, I would like to ask that the circumstances surrounding my current indefinite block be investigated, so that a fairer block can be given. I hope that this block can be altered to something finite, and that if that ever happens, that I be given a permanent chat ban afterwards, to segregate myself from those who are hostile against me and prevent things like this from happening again. All in all, all that I ask is that these consderations of mine be acknowledged, and that I be given a more reasonable punishment for my actions against the SporeWiki and it's userbase. Thank you for at least taking the time to read this past the mention of my usual username.

Our mutual mistrusts should be put aside.
