Thank you for your understanding above AChildOfGod!

I wish I could stay out of this problem, but I know that my requests to the admins of the khan-chat wiki may be at the root of your request here, so I will provide what I know, and allow the admins there to respond as they wish. Once my block expires (or is removed) on that wiki I will copy/paste this response and move it there, as it is more appropriate on that venue. For reference, the link is here: http://khan-academy-chat.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:866

I reached out to some members of the admin team there several times because I was personally the victim of harassment.

For context, I have only had the need to post on this wiki twice (both times in 2015 (before the person harrassing me had ever joined I believe)), and once later I gave kudos to a thread in the forum that I supported (here, but my kudos is removed).

Other than posting, I have been in the chat there several times, but I believe my last time in chat there had been Feb 14. I am not certain about this, however, and I apologize if I am mistaken. After a conversation in chat that day (2/14), an admin blocked me for reasons I do not agree with, but understanding that different people see things differently, I respected their block and waited patiently for it to end (NOTE: just as I expect people to do when given a chat ban or block here on this wiki, even if they disagree with it).

So, Feb 14, I was blocked for three days. Despite not posting there or interacting again for almost a month, on Mar 17, I was blocked for a year out of nowhere as far as I know! Less than two days later, on Mar 19, this block was changed to 1 week by that person. Again, please note, that in the time since my previous block expiration (2/17), and this current block (3/17), I had not posted any messages there, so certainly nothing harrassing.

I requested an unblock and was granted one later on the 19th because of the fact that I had not posted anything (harrassing or otherwise) there, but later on Mar 19, I was again blocked for 1 week.

I requested an unblock again, and was again awarded one, but yet again on Mar 19, I was now blocked for 2 weeks. This block is still being served, but since I know how I interact with others, I am certain that once it ends (or is lifted) I will not likely be blocked again!

Separately, one might wish to look at the "chat ban logs" there because they also provide interesting timing issues. In particular, a "two-week" chat ban against myself expired on 3/17, which might explain why the user needed to find a reason to block me again for something, since now I was technically free after respectfully serving all blocks and bans.

I am not the only one to suffer similar injustices. Another user was blocked by this person on 2/23 for "being a go-between for me", but it was lifted shortly later on 2/27. And yet another user was blocked on 2/20 for "association with me" but this person was unblocked by another admin stating the blocks must go through the active administrators. Of note, both of the users in this paragraph and myself (three people) have posted on that wiki a grand total of two times (both posts occuring before that person joined that wiki).
