User blog:Username5243/New Instant-Block Policy (Temporary Measure)

Okay, this Edwin Shade business has been going on FAR too long. I have no clue what's driving this dude to troll this place for almost TWO YEARS, but here we are...

As they say, drastic times call for drastic measures.

It's time for drastic measures.

I never really wanted to do this, but it's going to happen anyway, because this is stopped being entertaining a long time ago.

From now until the Edwin Shade crisis ends, any account whose first contributions include comments about Edwin Shade will be getting blocked. No questions; you will be blocked as an edwin sockpuppet. If you want to join in here an be constructive, please start out literally ANYWHERE else.

If you think you were wrongfully blocked under this policy, you can still edit your talk page. You can edit there and say why you shouldn't be blocked. You'd better be awfully convincing, though.

In addition, any comments made by users blocked for this reason will be deleted. This is an attempt to basically "erase" the fact the account in question even existed except in Deletion and Block Logs.

This policy will be coming into effect shortly. We had two accounts earlier today who started commenting on an Edwin-related thread. They will be the first casualties of this policy. (Such a shame, one of them even spent time making a whole Google site...)

I didn't want to do this, and I am sorry to inconvenience anyone who want to be helpful. If you have any objections (and are not Edwin), please respond in the comments below. If there is enough backlash from the rest of the community, I may end this policy, but for now it will be enforced.

Note: this post counts as "Edwi related" and first-time editors commenting here will get blocked as Edwin sockpuppets as well.

This policy will be in effect until I judge that Edwin Shade has stopped screwing around. If he then comes back after I have ended this policy, it will be activated again.

That is all.

Good night.
