Has enough time passed that I might be allowed to return? I will adhere to any restrictions that you want to impose. --GoRight (talk) 00:58, 12 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I will point out that in your block history that you have been unblocked 3 different times based on the condition of you behaving and those were all prior to your ban. What exactly will be different about the 4th time? Chillum 01:01, 12 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I understand the concern. I admit that my history is not good. It has been 4 years since I was banned and 3 years since my last appeal. I have made my apologies to those that I have wronged during the last appeal (off wiki) and have left them on public view since that time.

4 years is a long time to reflect. I believe that I have truly learned my lesson and I understand that any return to controversy will be a certain permanent ban. I learned that socking and dishonest behavior will only bite me in the end. I shall avoid such mistakes in the future. I shall not abuse the message boards. I shall avoid contentious interactions, especially with anyone with whom I have had a checkered history.

I have not edited on other projects in the interim. So I have no way to demonstrate that I can behave other than to be given yet another chance. I understand that any such chance will entail a short leash and will have final consequences should I stray from a good path. --GoRight (talk) 01:19, 12 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Here is the discussion thread from my previous ban appeal. --GoRight (talk) 02:03, 12 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I remember that discussion very well, and the one leading to your ban and several discussions before that. There were a lot of such discussions back then.

If you want I can post on the administrative noticeboard that you are asking for a community ban appeal, if there is a consensus to unblock then it will be done. If this sounds okay I will post there for you. Chillum 02:23, 12 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Heh, not sure if you remembering so long ago is good or bad.

I tried sending a request to BASC about a week ago but I used the arbcom-1 email list which I now know was no longer correct. I have not received any response from them so I decided to try here instead. Likely they would just do the same as before so let us once again go to the community directly. This is where it all started anyway. I won't get anywhere if people still object and no one is willing to offer another chance.

Please go ahead when you have a chance and thanks for your assistance. --GoRight (talk) 02:45, 12 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, here it is: Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard#User:GoRight_seeking_return_from_community_ban. Chillum 02:52, 12 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. At the last appeal I purposely stayed off wiki to demonstrate that I could avoid the drama and the controversy. I believe that this is a change from my previous behaviors. I responded to that proceeding off-wiki as a means of trying to atone for my prior behaviors. I believe the fact that I have stayed totally off wiki for so long can be taken as a confirmation of my sincerity.

I intend to follow a similar path this time as well. I will simply let the discussion run its course without creating any additional drama from here. If anyone has a direct question for me they can ask here on my talk page and I will address it here.

Since the Wikipedia Watch blog may be discussed I would like to point out that I stopped posting there more than 2 years ago, although I may have updated a few links since then to point to the archived discussions. I think that this too can be viewed as a sign that I have let go of the past. --GoRight (talk) 03:13, 12 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
