Review of old SPI
It's been 2 years since I was warned about sockpuppeting, and I was hoping to have the issue reviewed. I didn't do so at the time because I didn't want to appear disrespectful of admin authority, but I have been consistently frustrated by the false charge and the stigma it has given me on WP. The Appeals page recommends I speak to the enforcing admin first, so I thought I'd run my reasoning by you. 2 years ago Vzaak(they since left WP) and I had several disagreeable interactions while editing, and they began stating I should be removed from WP.
- Shortly afterward they filed a charge against me in SPI, with a huge list of circumstantial "clues" they had compiled indicating my guilt, mostly based on the editing IP and my alma mater both being in Long Beach, CA. Never having faced an SPI, I don't think I responded to their many accusations very well, and I was warned for sockpuppeting.
- Vzaak then initiated an AE against me, which was set aside.
- Vzaak then initiated another SPI against me, using an almost identical huge list of clues to prove that I was again sockpuppeting (and issuing death threats) from Long Beach, CA... except I was hundreds of miles away before, during, and after the supposed socking activity, as confirmed by admin Checkusers. When the admins dug a little deeper, they also found that the other accusations Vzaak had leveled against me (that I was "suppressing edits" in some kind of warring behavior) at the time were completely false.
As a side note, two of the editors who at various times supported Vzaak's claims against me (Barney and 76) were later sanctioned and/or blocked for inappropriate personal attacks.
Would you please consider reviewing the warning I have on record? To this day it is difficult to resolve any policy discussion without someone referring to me as a "sock" and disregarding any points I was making. The initial SPI originated from an editor who had a clear hostility toward me, charged me with various infractions over and over, and was eventually proven to have been citing inaccurate information. Please let me know what you think. Thank you! The Cap'n (talk) 01:45, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
- Given the time which has elapsed I'd be willing to remove the restriction on you alerting others to the discretionary sanctions if you can tell me how you'll avoid encountering issues with that, as what occurred last time. Regarding the one account restriction, I'm not as convinced that that should be removed, but I'm willing to be convinced. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 06:37, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you for your response. I honestly have no problem voluntarily abstaining from any new accounts or bothering others with discretionary notices. The only account I have any desire to use is this one, or occasionally my IP if I forget to sign in (which I clarify afterward). The only times I was ever accused of that behavior was in Vzaak's SPI's, and as I mentioned, his "evidence" of my socking ended up getting solidly debunked. I may have a strong voice (and could be accused of being a WP:OGRE), but in every circumstance I've always tried to uphold WP policies and guidelines to the best of my ability, have publicly announced all CoI's, tried to maintain WP:CIVIL, etc.
- My main concern is to be exonerated of the socking charge and be able to remove that notice from my Talk Page. In 7 years of editing Vzaak was the only person who ever accused me of socking (though others have called me that since the notice went up on my Talk); I've never had any accusations of acting illicitly before or since. People disagree with my positions, sure, but no one else has charged me with deliberate violations of WP policy.
- To sum up, socking has never been in my pattern of behavior, my initial SPI conviction was not supported by a Checkuser, and the following SPI (using the same type of evidence) confirmed with Checkuser that I had no possible connection to the supposed sock, and that Vzaak's other charges were false as well. If there are lingering concerns about disruption, I'll voluntarily submit to random Checkusers, restrain from using other accounts, notifications, or whatever else seems reasonable. I just want to stop being vilified for something I didn't do. The Cap'n (talk) 17:29, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
- This much time after the event it's unlikely that you'd be exonerated, especially since the evidence presented convinced both myself and another administrator.

ACC CU Backlog
Hello old friend, there is currently an ACC CU backlog of 15+ requests at the time of writing this. Any assistance would be appreciated! -- Cheers, Riley 02:00, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Riley, nice to see you again! I've cleared out the backlog. Regards, Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 07:34, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
Some advice
Hi, Callanecc, I was hoping to get some advice from you. This week, I've run into three relatively new editors (2-3 months) who spend most of their time posting on user pages and user talk pages. They are either young or pretending to be young. I've posted the "Misplaced Pages is not a social network" message on some talk pages and at least one editor is taking the message to heart. But for the editors who continue with this behavior (which includes asking other editors to offer personal information to them), how long is this tolerated? This could be a new editor who doesn't understand the purpose of Misplaced Pages or it could be a troll, wasting our time. How much rope/time is given before showing a clueless editor to the exit?
