As compared with many other big wikis, TARDIS has a tiny percentage of blocks amongst its registered user population. Once you remove the blocks that are done for inappropriate names, only about 50 material violations of policy blocks remain.

That means that our block rate of registered users is only about 0.56%. That's a fantastically low percentage.

By comparison, Harry Potter is at 1.6%, Memory Alpha is at 5.5%, and Wookieepedia sits at 8.1%.

My wall has some appeals requests on it, yes -- but this is because we have a formal appeals process at Tardis. It's only to be expected that I will have a few appeals on my wall, and they have occasionally resulted in blocks being lifted.

I will not be lifting your block, however.

I disagree fundamentally with your characterisation of the exchange with Danniesen as "a request". He was clearly uncomfortable with giving out his email address. And instead of backing off or answering his reasonable questions, you left 7 messages on his page, within a brief period of time. Some of them insinuated that his caution was unjustified. Your response to his wariness over email viruses was flatly hostile. "What sort of question is that?! Can you please just send me an email?"

Really?

He doesn't know you. You can't just pop onto people's talk pages and say, "Email me!" and then fail to answer them when they ask you questions. That's incredibly frightening and off-putting. He has no guarantee whatsoever that you won't spam him or send him viruses.

So I believe that a common-sense reading of that event is that you hounded him until he appeared to relent.

I'm sorry, but I just can't allow that kind of behavior at Tardis. At the end of the day, T:SAFE USER says that user pages should not include "anything else that can be used to quickly identify you". An email address is something that can "quickly identify you".

And in cases where one user is harassing another user for personal information, admin do not have to give one bit of warning at all. One of the chief responsibilities of the Tardis admin team is to protect users. We must take it very seriously and act quite decisively.
