Kuby101, what tone? Where did I use harsh words?

Anyway, so let me see if I understand it correctly. So, basically, as long as they don't violate terms of use, an admin can block someone just because they feel like blocking someone? Like, block someone for nothing?

So, for an extreme example, an admin can block someone for being named "Jeff" because they don't like the name Jeff and the Terms of Use and Community Guidelines don't mention "freedom of name"?

Because, that seems to be what happened to me, in a way. I was blocked for receiving messages. I wasn't breaking any rule, nor was doing anything. I was just blocked for something I'm not responsible: receiving messages. No one is responsible for receiving messages, as they are sent by people other than you. Per Alex.Dowski's logic, it should be the guy sending me messages who should be blocked, not me, and even so, as far as I know, an admin is only supposed to perform a block if there's a rule being broken or vandalism happening. None of these conditions were met. Alex.Dowski didn't even tried to know what was happening like an admin is supposed to, he literally said "I don't care, BANHAMMER!" and ignored all messages I sent him trying to explain what was going on. That seems like abuse or harassment to me, and, honestly, an admin that blocks people without trying to track down what happened seems like a threat to any Wiki's stability. I mean, what if he funds another Wiki, keeps this attitude, and blocks people without actually reviewing what's going on?

Also, he violated the Terms of Use with the import tool, as he only imported the most recent edit, which doesn't properly attribute all the authors of the pages in Digimon Wiki.

By the way, sorry for bringing this up again after such a long time. I was kinda busy with studies, and this prevented me from continuing this discussion.
