Block review: Dronebogus

I blocked Dronebogus for 1 week to force them to disengage from this AN/U thread after I warned them that they were becoming disruptive. The triggering edits for the block are these three. As I am already far more involved in this mess than I'd care to be, I'd like some less/uninvolved admins to weigh in. Good block? Bad block? Too short? Thanks, The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 00:04, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'd have issued a two week block. For sure, it's an appropriate one. Bedivere (talk) 02:35, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
just ban him at commons and user talk name space with 2 week i guess? huh? and with extra, if he continues talking about the issue at other name spaces just ban all along? modern_primat ඞඞඞ ----TALK 14:06, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What other name spaces? Trade (talk) 17:47, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
maybe he will use edit summary? modern_primat ඞඞඞ ----TALK 17:49, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I dont feel like accusing other users of "shit stirring" is appropriate language for someone to use with the Block log. Regardless how one feel about him--Trade (talk) 17:52, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

bilerek ortalığı karıştırma""""
https://tureng.com/tr/turkce-ingilizce/shit%20stirring
that "bilerek ortalığı karıştırma" actually means: "to cause confusion on purpose". but, this is google translate. i still believe we have words in english that not to use "sh.." word. so, that information make to come an idea my head. im gonna... give a warning to admin as a part of the community!! modern_primat ඞඞඞ ----TALK 18:04, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Shit stirring is a relatively benign colloquialism, which it appears I incorrectly assumed is more well known than it is. Wiktionary defines it as "troublemaking, especially by provoking negative behavior from others", which I feel is an accurate description of their behavior leading to the block. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 19:53, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"shit" is bad word. end of the disccussion. modern_primat ඞඞඞ ----TALK 19:55, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I stand my point. It's still an vulgar and unprofessional thing to include in the logging Trade (talk) 20:22, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
yes, it cant be changed and will be stay forever. modern_primat ඞඞඞ ----TALK 20:24, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
