Tigerlily extended my block by an additional year. Why?

Also, when have I ever violated a rule after I have been warned not to?

My first warning was when you ordered me to stop asking for the removal of page protections. I have heeded that warning despite my disapproval of it. Asking for the removal of certain page protections is common wikipedia protocol; in fact, there is even a page dedicated to these types of requests: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_page_protection. Regardless, I did not continue to ask.

My second warning was when you told me to stop publishing event scenarios. After I was warned not to, I did not reinsert any of the dialogue back into the pages. What may have constituted as a breach in policy though was when I wrote: "I'll add in the event scenarios whenever I can." This could be misinterpreted as: I'll add them in regardless of the rules. This was poor word choice by me in a heated conversation. My intent was to state: I'll be willing to add in the event scenarios when I can -- as in, I would offer my services in writing the scenarios if allowed to. (The event scenarios were originally removed in the past because no one bothered to write/update them.) This was poor word choice by me, and my sentence could be misinterpreted as a statement of intent to break the rules, but technically speaking, I did not re-add the event scenarios.

Another warning was when Tigerlily warned me that "chilidish behavior will not be tolerated" after I posted a controversial message on my profile. First, I received a warning for this behavior, but then was banned after I corrected it. The one edit I made after the warning was that I wrote the phrase "filler" on my profile page to fill up white space (Tigerlily had previously blanked my profile page). Nevertheless, Tigerlily banned me after I corrected my behavior, probably because she realised she had banned the wrong user. To get around the need to issue a warning, Tigerlily categorized my offense as "intimidating behavior/harassment." According to wikipedia, harassment is "a pattern of repeated offensive behavior..." One potentially mean comment does not equate harassment. Harassment is a behavior, it has to be repeated. Although the comment I wrote was controversial, one would have to set a high bar of intolerance to consider it harassment. My comment was addressed to new wikia contributors warning them not to edit on DG wiki because the admins would revert all their edits. In my case, that was true. The edits I have made to articles include: adding the medal count to "How do Events work?", adding tags to "1M Downloads! Rainbow Maid", adding scenario dialogues to "Mayday in Space" & "Tea Party Event", inserting a redirect for "Pal Points", adding placeholder text to "February 2017 Synthesis Items", and adding a date to "Tonight You're Mine." Out of all of those edits, all of them except one (the redirect) have been reverted or modified by you or Tigerlily. My comment was controversial, but it was my opinion, and it didn't attack any of the admins or any specific users. I did not specify any specific user, and I did not name call or shoot deragatory insults at any of you. At what point does banning me become censorship because the admins do not agree with my viewpoints and suggestions?

The message I wrote on Tigerlily's wall in a seperate wiki was my ban appeal and also an apology. I stated that I was sorry if I had accidentally offended her. If one looks at the content of my message, I doubt it could be construed as harassment. However, wikia policy does state that to appeal a ban I should write it on my profile page. However, because Tigerlily blocked me from leaving comments on my message wall and profile page (in addition to the standard blocking restrictions), I had no way to appeal a ban on DG wiki. I thought it was convenient to message Tigerlily on her DB wall. However, because I was a novice on Wikia, beacuse I was unaware of the standard protocol to message her on Community Central, I sent her a message via another wiki. I know better now, hence why I'm messaging you on Community Central. However, messaging a user on a different wiki after a block is still not harassment unless it is "to continue a conversation... after being blocked from the user's main community" (http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Harassment_and_Bullying). Because I was writing a ban appeal, not trying to continue a prior conversation, it does not constitute harassment by Wikia policies.

If you do not want to continue this discussion, merely close the thread or do not respond. However, if you do respond, I'll assume you want the conversation to continue, and I will reply to your message.
