Once again, I was banned unfairly by the admin, Randall00 on Smashwiki, without warning and for no reason. He claims that I have "abused multiple accounts", which I clearly have not. This is not the first time he has banned a random user unfairly--as far as I have counted, he has bannned--without reason--four people before me. The last one he banned unfairly before he banned me now, was me; he was coaxing me to insult him, which I refused to, which is apparently a very serious offensive that leads to me being banned for half a year. However, after posting here, another admin came over a cleaned things up.

After being banned (as of now), I tried discussing this with another admin, only one edit, only one admin. However, a different admin permanently blocked my IP address for "abusing multiple accounts after ban," and follows up, in an insulting manner, that s/he "could not care less for the user."

I am unsure of the other admin that permanently banned me, but I can honestly say that Randall00 is a threat to Smashwiki. He only activity is not fixing or writing articles--it's fishing for a response from a person and banning them from it. To anyone with the power to do so, please look into this and be kind enough to un-ban me. I would really appreciate if you would also talk to Randall00 about this, and his ban-crazy attitude.

Oh, and I can't e-mail anybody, I don't have a valid e-mail account.

P.S.: The only edits I made while my IP was still un-banned was the acceptance of an offer my friend gave me, and an update in a Forum for a change for one of our Wiki's features.

Tha'ts what "show preview" is for. --Uberfuzzy 07:08, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

I know, I know. Sorry. I'm just trying to get into the habit of using it...I'll try to proofread more...Oops, I almost forgot my signature, too. CAFINATOR ^Gentlemen... 07:10, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

This, plain and simple, is getting very, very worse. The admin, "Clarinet Hawk", blocked me from using my page, so I'll have no way possible to discuss the ban. Secondly, the same admin deleted the last of my contribution to this Wiki, a poll on the front page. It was a playful topic on the Forums, about a Thread selecting a poll. Some other admins had supported it, and it was even in the news section of the Main Page for two weeks, there is no excuse for not knowing this was going to happen.

However, the admin deleted the poll because it would "encourage flame", and switched it to a topic which is based on another Forum Thread, that if you saw it, is completely overrun with flaming and arguments. Absolutely hypercritical. I really do need help, and I can't even contact SmashWiki anymore--they took away all my ability to do so. CAFINATOR ^Gentlemen... 02:44, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Just writing the wiki off as a lost case isn't an option? I can post stuff on your behalf if you like; you can also contact w:c:guildwars:User talk:Shadowcrest and see if he's got any ideas (irc chat, maybe?). Confirming an email address on the wiki also helps as you can email the admins, and they can email you. --◄mendel► 10:38, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

It's not the Wiki that I care about. It's the fact that Randall00 is an abusive admin, and he'll ban innocent users again and again. CAFINATOR ^Gentlemen... 03:50, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

I don't get it. I asked for help here before, and at least they tried, and managed to get me unbanned. But was that a one-time deal? CAFINATOR ^Gentlemen... 09:38, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

It's partly because these issues are best dealt with on-wiki. It would take hours of our time to find out every little nuance of the situation - which, unfortunately, we don't have. It does sound like you've got somewhere with your on-wiki discussions though, which is a good sign. Kirkburn  talk  contr    11:51, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Well, I'm not asking for someone to investigate. Just talk to Randall00. Everyone else either doesn't want to, or is afraid of being banned by him, and I can't talk to him now because he's ignoring me. CAFINATOR ^Gentlemen... 06:33, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

I just checked the wiki concerned and it looks like the admin has become inactive and the user is active again. So I think that this issue has been dealt with and Cafinator forgot to tell us. David Shepheard 13:18, October 12, 2009 (UTC)
