Czechout,

I know that you will probably disregard this, but I would strongly advise reading this whole message before you write me off.

It has been about seven months since I was banned for my blatent misbehaviour on TARDISWiki. It sounds childish to say that I'm ready to return, but I nevertheless feel that this is the case. I apologise for all that I did, and I assure you that in the event that you decide that I may return to the Index File, I WILL play by the rules.

The rules of Tardis Wiki state that if a User intends to submit a request for unblocking (or mitigation thereof), they must admit that they were wrong in the first place. I readily agree to this; my actions were inappropriate, immature and downright WRONG in every respect. Needless to say, I will not do anything of the sort ever again.

Although this is not required, I think that a full explanation of my actions, as well as a description of my performance on other Wikis since then, are also in order.

My first offence was committed out of sheer frustration, with a bit of ignorance mixed in. However, the sockpuppeting incident was committed with me KNOWING it was wrong. Sure, I may have been ignorant of that rule to begin with, but even then, any idiot knows that circumventing a ban is about as illegal as breaking out of jail. But when you called me on my wrongdoing, I had the stupidity to try and perpetuate the deception. Why I did it in the first place? Part of it was that I didn't want to get back to contributing, but the more important reason was that back then I was apparently harbouring the delusion that I was ABOVE THE LAW. A pity that these actions caused me to learn the truth the hard way.

Fortunately, in the seven months since then, I have seen the errors in my ways, and decided to change them as I continued to be an active member other Wikis. I now follow the local rules, and I try to be as respectful and diplomatic as I can to other users, regardless of whether or not they do the same.

I think that my efforts at self-rehabilitation have been successful; I am now one of the leading Admins on the Invader Zim Wiki (not a walk in the park), and have recently earned the status of Rollbacker on Wikitroid. You may check those sites as you wish, to confirm that what I say is true. However, I am not the one who makes the final judgement in this case; that luxury is yours, and yours alone. The rules of TARDIS Wiki say that any ban-ee is eligible for a review, including those who are in my situation.

This whole request may seem rather flowery and long, but every last word of it is sincere. It is my devout hope that you will take all that I have said here into account when you decide to make a well-reasoned decision regarding my fate. Do as you will.
