::I strongly advise you to be more careful both inside chat, and out. And on not just the Community Central Wiki, but on other wikis, to prevent such a thing from happening to you in future. I hope you will realise that I do not, nor have I ever harboured a grudge against you. If you genuinely thought that what I did was not right, then I am sorry if I judged the situation too harshly. ― '''[[User:C.Syde65|<font color="maroon">C.Syde</font>]]''' ([[User talk:C.Syde65|<font color="black">talk</font>]] &#124; [[:Special:Contributions/C.Syde65|<font color="black">contribs</font>]]) 11:38, August 16, 2016 (UTC)
:::Alright, first of all, let me break down your argument. Your first two paragraphs are about my behaviour on the Community Central Chat. Your next two are about why you blocked me and your last one is an apology, conclusion and a piece of advice.
 
:::Now that we know that, I can move onto my rebuttal.
 
:::You say that blocks are not meant to be issued as punishment, and are just meant for preventing disruption. This is most definitely untrue. I have heard numerous reports of users being blocked for their past conduct, even though they claim that they have changed. Blocks are meant for punishment. I'm sure Wikia has a page about blocks that can testify to this. And if they are meant for preventing disruption, then you issued it incorrectly, as I did not disturb the wiki. I just revived a thread. That is it.
 
:::Now, about your description of my behaviour on Community Central. I was only banned for spamming. You can check the ban logs to verify this. My "harassment" was non-existent, my "annoying others" was not worthy of a ban and my "playing the victim game" never occurred either.
 
:::A lot of the things you say about my behaviour in Community Central is simply untrue. There is no other way to describe it.
 
:::Why do I say you are harbouring a grudge? Because you said so. You said that you only acted harshly because you found me annoying. ([http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:1091848 Evidence]). You were banned from Community Central Chat because you overreacted when I did something.
 
:::In your next two paragraphs, you describe your reasons for blocking. You say that I refused to follow advice. I did not. I simply restored the thread. I acknowledge k6ka's suggestion (that I should have contacted you), but that is not refusing to follow advice. You also say that you blocked me because you wanted me to understand consequences. Doesn't that sound unjust? You don't go around imprisoning people to show them how they shouldn't steal.
 
:::You also say that you contacted users to verify that a block was okay. What users did you contact? Did you contact other admins? Or did you just contact random users on Community Central and on the Sims Wiki? Knowing your past behaviour, you probably did the latter. This is not the same as collaborating with other admins. It's not the same as building a punishment system on collaboration. It is equivalent to deciding whether someone should be imprisoned or not by conducting a random survey or asking your friend who lives down the street. 
 
:::You also say that showing reason would encourage me to display bad behaviour. This is wrong. If you had shown reason, contacted me and explained why reviving old threads is wrong and then if I had continued to do it, your block would be justified. But neither of these things happened. You were not in the right.
