editHello, please stop making new accounts to use here. I'm fine with you continuing to use this one, but I'll start blocking any additional ones you create. People need to be able to identify users by their username; they can't do that if you make a new account every week. – Ajraddatz (talk) 21:01, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
- I wanted a cleanstart account without any blocks - Even if this one is blocked, I will only use this and 1984 cadillac and hartconan. No others. XenrøsE 03:36, 25 June 2018 (UTC)
- OK, that sounds reasonable, so long as you aren't using this account to evade blocks elsewhere. – Ajraddatz (talk) 04:12, 25 June 2018 (UTC)
