Okay. I've read about the AbuseFilter. Let me ask you these: Yes, I do know that AbuseFilter is not blocking a user, but rather prevent a new user from editing the page, simply because they prevent vandalism.
 * 1) You did not configure the AbuseFilter, it's working correctly to prevent adding certain keywords, which is on that page, which is why the user cannot edit it.
 * 2) VSTF set up the filter. If staff were to remove it, they would ask us to fix it instead of killing it, since it is preventing vandalism.
 * 3) The user is NOT blocked, his autoconfirmed status is NOT removed, which means he CAN message the admins over that wiki.
 * 4) * The abuse filter is just preventing the edit, on a specific page, with specific keywords, to pass, not block the user completely.
 * If VSTF configure the AbuseFilter, how is it possible to edit the page? Do they really have to wait for days to be able to edit (and I'm not talking about auto-confirmed) the page? If a user message an admin, how does the admin able to let the new user edit the page?
 * Are Staff really make a VSTF to remove the AbuseFilter if the AbuseFilter was really a problem on a wiki? The staff does me that "the staff" remove the AbuseFilter. The staff said, "I have removed it from your wiki".
 * Yes, I know that an admin need to contact a staff if they wanted AbuseFilter to be enabled in their wiki. If a VSTF configure the AbuseFilter on a wiki, do they notify the admin about that?

This is what I know about AbuseFilter: This is what I'm questioning about:
 * They also prevent a user from "replacing content" and "removing content".
 * Prevent new users from editing the page, regardless of they have any right or not, even admin or bureaucrat right.
 * If the new user was an admin, it also prevent them from deleting or moving page. I've tried this in my second account, and I receive the same message because of AbuseFilter.
 * Since I was joining a wiki, the AbuseFilter was already configured. I've told an admin about the AbuseFilter, but it didn't send to an admin. Instead, it wrote, "An error occurred when sending a message". It doesn't matter who I was sending to. I tried to send people a message on the other wiki and it works perfectly fine. When the AbuseFilter didn't prevent me from editing the wiki anymore, I am able to send a message on the wiki. I was wondering for days if the AbuseFilter really prevent a user from sending a message. I was creating a second account (as my bot account) to send a message to my first account. Yes, the error message popped up while I couldn't edit the wiki page in my second account, because of AbuseFilter. Once I waited for days, I was able to edit the wiki from my second account and I was able to edit the page as well as send people a message. People in my wiki told me about the AbuseFilter. I told them, "Why you don't just send me a message?" They've said, "The error message pops out as I send you a message. The message was sent successfully once I'm able to edit the wiki." After that, I believed that the AbuseFilter really prevent a user from editing the wiki as well as sending people a message. I always believed it was true until you said that the AbuseFilter does NOT prevent a user from sending a message.
