Request reason:

I welcomed a new editor and warned him/her not to make the mistakes so many here have, when it was clear to me he/she was just new, was already being ganged up on, and didn't know what was going on. I clearly implied that I couldn't talk about Acupuncture, but that I could only offer general editing advice. If it is deemed that this block was fair, I have no problem with that, but I would love to know the specific wording I used that was problematic. Am I not allowed to even mention to other editors that I've been T-banned? That seems to be the implication, and that certainly seems absurd. I've only recently been T-Banned so I'd like to know what not to say going forward. LesVegas (talk) 15:09, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Pretty clear violation of your TBAN. In my opinion as an uninvolved administrator, this edit contains extensive references to your TBAN. Now, I'm not necessarily saying I agree with preventing someone from discussing a particular ban. In my opinion, it might be appropriate to allow you to discuss it solely here on your talk page, or provide you a way of objecting to it. It's not clear to me whether or not that's allowed. But bringing it up in a welcome message on a new user's talk page? What were you thinking? What good could come of that? Given the block is for 60 hours, I decline to unblock you.

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

• @Yamla: Just FYI, they can appeal at WP:AN once enough time passes for them to be permitted to do so. I didn't see this appeal, but the block was largely based on the seeking out of an editor new to the topic area they've been banned from to welcome them and provide this area-specific warning. Discussing their ban is certainly part of the violation, but I find the clear intent to communicate with editors related to the topic area about the topic area itself to be more significant. ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 16:01, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
