This is in regards to the message you left me on Community Central. It's still showing me as being blocked there, but I think I saw a message earlier by another person that pointed out there was a delay in their unblock taking effect, so I'm not worried about it right now. I'll check back tomorrow to see if the wiki's cache has caught up to the block/unblock routine. If it's still stuck in a few days, I'll try to get someone to give it a nudge.

I think the adoption process got updated a while back to take in account expired blocks. It used to be that if you had any block on record anywhere, you were disqualified unless you could provide an explantion why it wasn't valid any more. In my case, two or three were placed by vandals on their own wikis in retaliation for me having to block them, one was because an admin was acting unreasonably (which I found out later was her typical behavior towards others) and one was because I was asking a question about something a vandal did and happened to include his name. That wiki's got it set up that if you do that, their blacklist kicks in and it's an instant permanent block with no editing privileges of any kind. Fortunately, in the latter two cases, other admins overturned the blocks.

Brightify's been a problem for a while and doesn't show any sign of changing, other than occasionally trying to take a jab or potshot at me by trying to take something I wrote for his own use. I'll just keep doing what I can to help clean up his messes.
