Hallo, Fut.Perf! I wonder whether you'd consider reducing the current durations of desk-(semi-)protection. We get so many genuine questions and also helpful replies from non-registered people, that I'm getting a bit worried. Queues of edit requests have been forming at [[WT:RD]], but, more unfortunately in my view, shutting out this portion of contributors and querents might also mean they won't come back soon, or ever. I think we're pretty ok at responding to (as in removing) the more nefarious trolling quickly, given the number of regulars who have and check the desks on their watchlist. Thank you for your consideration. ---[[User:Sluzzelin|Sluzzelin]] [[User talk:Sluzzelin|<small>talk</small>]] 22:08, 9 November 2015 (UTC) |

: Well, I disagree about us being "pretty ok" at removing the socking – it has regularly been a pain in the ass having to clean it up (with multiple sections being reinserted by edit-warring socks multiple times, sometimes for weeks, keeping old threads from being archived because of all the bogus sock traffic on them, with the sock edits then often getting superceded by other people's edits or getting responded to so that rollback or even undo was no longer feasible. As for the edit requests, most of the traffic there appears to come from a single "regular" IP editor who refuses to register an account, so I'm honestly not too much inclined to bend over backwards to accommodate him. Personally, I'd keep the bords semiprotected at least until the threads that were most recently subject to the sock attacks have safely slipped away into the archives.

Doubtful edit request
Hi there. This smells very like Vote X For Change to me, but I'm not experienced enough to call it. May I ask for your expert opinion? Tevildo (talk) 21:04, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

He seems to be promising to use socks if banned (see ANI). Doug Weller (talk) 12:23, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
