Hi all, been away from this place for awhile, but I just went on Wikipedia and saw that Burntsauce was banned for the second time as a sockpuppet of myself, this time permanently.

Just shows you that any well-meaning user can be banned, because I'm sure as hell not this guy...

Yeah, this is really weak:

Burntsauce disrupting per a banned user

2) Burntsauce (talk · contribs) has been advancing the disruptive agenda of the community-banned vandal JB196 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · block user · block log).

The key points of evidence were disagreeing with articles filled with trivial crap and enforcing BLP on wrestling articles.

Burntsauce is sock of a banned user

3) Burntsauce (talk · contribs) is very likely to be either a meat- or sock-puppet of another banned user, per evidence submitted privately to the Committee.

It was right to ban Burntsauce, but not on the basis of the allegation of sockpuppetry. There was enough in his editing history to warrant it.

Yes, but it's easier to ban someone based on secret evidence of sockpuppetry, because it's harder to argue against.
that one guy
And does anyone remember who submitted said secret evidence? wink.gif

What basis was there to ban Burntsauce that did not involve allegations of sockpuppetry?
