Actions by Praxidicae
Hi all! First of all, I am not pleased that this situation got to the stage when stewards need to be involved but I am left with no choice, so I ask stewards to look into following set of events. Being admin on ukwikibooks I descovered that User:Baranov107 was baned indefinitely by global sysop Praxidicae with rationale "Spambot". Straightaway I thought that it looks weird because 1) user certainly does not look like a bot 2) two years ago user had decent contribution uk:b:Гітара (which involved link to other website but it was not off). Later I dicovered that user was banned on all small wiki projects. In conversation with global sysop I discovered that reason for ban were spam contributions to OTHER projects. These edits indeed look spammy but I do not see clear reason for bans on small wiki projects. On ukwiki, user also had some not bad contributions. I understand that at least some of edits were definiely spam, such bans on small wikis seems to me as rushed decision, better to be held by local admins, who understand language. I ask stewards to give their opinion on this situation. reNVoy (user talk) 13:35, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
