User talk:Matttest

Block appeal

@Q8j: I am quite concerned about your recent block towards me with only a reason “clearly not here to test tools”. There are several reasons below about why I believe this block and your actions against me is inappropriate:

1. Is there a specific policy saying that users here must test? It seems no. If non-test actions are prohibited here, then stewards and bureaucrats who have done non-test actions should all be blocked at first. From my edits, I have made 2 constructive edits in the community portal, participating in discussions. Can you state what is wrong of my edits?
2. Let me bring out something happened recently. Apex have been blocked after adding profanity consistently for 2-3 months, during the period numerous warnings are placed. However, an indefinite block have been placed towards me after 2 constructive edits of mine, with no warnings. Is this correct even my edits are inappropriate?
3. When you use the rollback tool, it is a must that the edit is either vandalism or spam. However, rollback is used to my questions and comments on the community portal, which doesn’t fall into the categories above. Can you explain why you use such a tool? Blocks are not meant to get rid of a user’s constructive opinions, and so an undo should also not be made to my edits.

As such, I believe this block is inappropriate and should be removed at once. Cc @MacFan4000: for steward intervention on this block. -Matttest (talk) 03:46, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

•  Comment: Since it seems you already send notification to MacFan4000, They'll decide what to do with your block. There's nothing for me to say. I'll leave it to them.--Q8j (talk) 04:29, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
•  Comment: I believe this block was indeed unjustified. @Q8j:, this was inappropriate and inconsiderate. From what I can see, this user has not vandalised nor edited under bad faith. Their only edit was done to the Community Portal, in which, they were directing a question to a request for Stewardship. I will be removing your block, @Matttest:. Apologies for this unjust action.

  Thanks for removing the block. -Matttest (talk) 08:59, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

No problem. I apologise for it happening in the first place. Sav • ( Edits | Talk ) 09:03, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

Steward comment: Technical evidence is absolutely clear here: Matttest is the operator of several impersonation only and vandalism only accounts. I'm conferring with MacFan4000 on the outcome, but my recommendation is for an indefinite CheckUser block here. Dmehus (talk) 22:07, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

For greater clarity, the CheckUser-confirmed sockpuppets were as follows: MаcFan4000, Dmеhus, and Vagvgabgag. I'm working with the real MacFan4000 to enable transwiki imports on Test Wiki, so we can import the sockpuppet and sockpuppeteer templates from Meta Wiki on Wikimedia.

DarkMatterMan4500, no problem. :) Dmehus (talk) 22:47, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
