Block evasion by User:Hastur

I propose that this user be desysopped and blocked for a period of 314159 seconds for evading his previous 31415 second block, which was a "serious" block imposed by User:LeftyGreenMario. This evasion occurred 3 times throughout the block, on the first two occasions he blocked himself immediately afterwards. This ended in him removing his own block, he didn't subsequently reinstate his own block. Whilst he was "unlawfully at large" from his block, his actions have included lame comments on a number of talk pages (including that of the blocking admin), plus totally lame, and unfunny vandalism of the RationalWiki:Sandbox with these two edits.

Another signficant edit done whilst he was supposed to be blocked was this edit in which User:Hastur archived the talk page of the moderation board. This was after editing that page with this edit and that edit. Kiko4564 (talk) 09:13, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

Who is that in that picture. And if I understand this correctly, he made that edit right? Gunther1987 (talk) 09:32, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

Yes he did. Larry Sanger I guess? He said that Sanger has taken over RationalWiki. Kiko4564 (talk) 09:37, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

I'm adding to this that he blocked himself and unblocked himself repeatedly for 30 minutes after this happened. Gunther1987 (talk) 10:58, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

Not... fully sure why this has to remain in the coop. Hastur's behavior (which is off-wiki mostly, with the parts on-wiki not violating the wiki guidelines from what I can tell. His off-wiki behavior does, but that's well, off-wiki) does not break the CS. Functionally, this block can be treated much the same way as a joke block, in that Hastur can technically choose to unban himself at any point without it violating our CS (he'd first have to be dragged over to here for a sysoprevoke for it to count if I understand our policies surrounding sysops properly). His choice to not follow the effective desire to basically go and cool off is concerning, but I don't think it violates our CS. Also uh "vandalizing the Sandbox"... you do know what the Sandbox is right? It's a functional free-for all. While turning it into discount ooer might not be entirely desirable for basic sanity reasons, I'm kinda having trouble seeing how it's vandalism given how it's a functional testbed. I suggest both of you familiarize yourselves with our Community Standards and our RationalWiki:Blocking policy. Techpriest ^{(I am Alpharius! / / / )} 11:29, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

Can you please define "both of you"? Kiko4564 (talk) 11:52, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

You and Gunther. Techpriest ^{(I am Alpharius! / / / )} 11:53, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

OK thanks, I've already read both of those pages and I would like to know what exactly your point is please. Kiko4564 (talk) 11:54, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

Then you should hopefully be able to conclude that Hastur's behavior on-wiki doesn't break the CS, LGMs block is allowed per the CS and so is Hastur unblocking himself, in accordance to the CS. Aka exactly what I said in my original reply. Techpriest ^{(I am Alpharius! / / / )} 11:55, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

OK thanks for explaining yourself but I stand by this request. In my opinion he should at least be desysopped. Kiko4564 (talk) 11:57, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

Why does this Coop exist? This matter is already been taken to the mod page. ☭Comrade GC☭^{Ministry of Praise} 12:17, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

That was a separate issue though. Kiko4564 (talk) 12:19, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
