User:Jonpro/Xwestsidex
The following is my attempt to explain the "xwestsidex" situation to anyone who was not around when it began or was not aware that it was happening. I attempt here to be as objective as possible, but obviously I am biased toward defending myself, so I provide as many links of edits as possible to prove my point. My purpose is solely informative and this should not be construed as an attack on anyone.
It all started back on April 5, 2007, with the video Lying Bastards, when User:Xwestsidex uploaded "Image:Mmm...fish taco.JPG". Immediately after, Xwestsidex added the image to Lying Bastards. Next, he added a caption. User:Misty shortly afterwards changed the caption to something else. The next day, the action broke out again when Misty modified the caption somewhat and Xwestsidex changed it as well (note that 152.163.100.209 is Xwestsidex's IP). It was then changed a couple times by User:Chelseyrl and Misty. Sensing that this could be a problem, I posted a comment on Talk:Lying Bastards in an attempt to resolve the issue. A lengthy discussion followed, after which a compromise was eventually reached. During this, however, Xwestsidex edited the page again, changing the caption to what he wanted it to be and putting "fuck you! I put up the picture! I should be able to name it what I want!" in the edit summary. The caption was later removed by an anonymous user. At the same time, Misty uploaded Image:166 no ho in mexico.JPG. She then changed the image in the video and also re-added her old caption. Noticing that these were identical images, I added (sorry, you need to be an admin for the link to work, but there's nothing I can do about that) a delete tag to "Image:Mmm...fish taco.JPG". A few days later, seeing no objections to the deletion proposal, I deleted the image.
A few days later, on April 9, Xwestsidex (now using IP 75.26.20.124) added a caption to the video Hug It Out. He then modified his caption, putting "editing caption...dont FUCKIN change it!" in the edit summary. Although User:HyeMew had changed the caption, claiming "We need a better caption than the gangsta southside one", I still felt that Xwestsidex's edit summary was inappropriate. So, I posted a comment on User talk:75.26.20.124 requesting that he use the talk page to work things out. A couple of days later, he replied on the same page, but not before yet again changing the caption on Lying Bastards with an edit summary of "Imma keep changing it, dont try it." Seeing that he was refusing to participate in the discussion, continuing to change the caption despite being warned, and claiming that he would continue to act this way in the future, I made the decision to impose a one-week block on his account, providing the following as my reason: "continuing to change image captions against community consensus and general disrespect toward other editors". I then posted a comment on his talk page basically telling him that I had blocked him and to "Have a fun week off!". Less than a day later, he used another IP address (207.62.208.2) to make a post on the same page asking me to say "Sir, Im sorry I was hatin on you, and you are the biggest pimp daddy on the LG15 forums".
Since then, Xwestsidex has made multiple edits, very few of which have been productive, attacking LGPedia editors and posting inappropriate and irrelevant material. Of course, all of the edits are reverted quickly and the IPs are blocked, often with just "xwestsidex" as the reason.
I hope this provides some background for those who were wondering and that the links help to tell the complete story. Although I have this as a subpage of my userpage (as it isn't really LGPedia material), I encourage others to feel free to edit this page. The original form of this page is certain to be biased as I myself wrote it, but with more authors, more objectivity can be attained. Just make sure your edits improve the page rather than make it worse. Respectfully yours, Jonpro.
