Johannnes89 blocking to avoid answering questions

[edit]
Off-topic --Superpes15 (talk) 17:33, 31 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

An issue with this candidate's behaviour was raised at Talk:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation on 20 January and again today. Each time he alleged "Long-term abuse", removed the question and blocked. It's not for him to rule that an allegation of abuse against him is "abuse". Can the election committee look at this behaviour (on en:wp only the election committee can remove questions). His behaviour is a clear violation of en:WP:INVOLVED and of the Universal Code of Conduct (Article 2.1) which he is so fond of quoting. 2A00:23D0:6EA:DB01:3D32:231E:20A4:4F3F 13:33, 31 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Not a case of INVOLVED but rather en:WP:RBI towards en:WP:LTA/VXFC, starting with Special:Contributions/80.5.88.70 ([1]) and many IPs to follow (e.g. [2]). All of those IPs (or their IP-ranges) are noted at en:WP:LTA/VXFC#Known IP ranges. As this is an election page I will obstain from removing this post myself, but recommend that the election committee or other admins do so per RBI.

What happens on en:wp stays on en:wp. As an aspiring Steward you know that perfectly well, so why link to it if not to make trouble? I just checked contributions of "VXFC" on both wikis, and it hasn't edited either of them. Your second link throws up another name - that editor has never edited at Meta but is GLOBALLY LOCKED. Why? 2A00:23C7:9C8C:4E01:CD53:7C39:2C81:20FD 16:07, 31 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
I don't see any bad behavior by Johannnes89 here. Also this is not related with the election so, please, stop complaining about legitimate actions on Election pages. I'm not deleting this for archiving purpose but, if someone wants to, I'm not opposing! Thanks Superpes15 (talk) 16:27, 31 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
For heaven's sake! Questions were asked about the legality of IP masking and instead of answering them Johannnes89 removed them and blocked the questioner for a year. What behaviour could be worse than that? 2A00:23C7:9C8C:4E01:CD53:7C39:2C81:20FD 16:31, 31 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
Being an LTA and trolling or posting question evading a lock :) Superpes15 (talk) 16:36, 31 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
Are you aware that a global lock is not permitted under policy? That policy does not allow events on one wiki to be taken into consideration when administrators on another wiki are imposing sanctions? How can an editor who has never edited be an "LTA"? 2A00:23C7:9C8C:4E01:CD53:7C39:2C81:20FD 16:49, 31 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
As I said, you are off topic here, please read global lock if you've doubt and stop making unnecessary and futile controversies, or the next step will have to be deleting this page, since it's getting clogged up with off topic comments. You asked to review an action, we made it and didn't find any issue, so please stop. Superpes15 (talk) 16:58, 31 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
