  • Mclarenfan17 (no edits since June) has been editing while logged out, in contravention of their interaction ban with Tvx1. As such, per Tvx1's AE complaint, the sanction is reaffirmed, directing admins to block any IPs belonging to Mclarenfan17 with immediate effect, at least until some form of communication is established. Added Feb 25: archive link to 7 Feb AE complaint and permanent link to Feb 12 one. As well, permanent link to discussion on my talk page with Mclarenfan17/IP, last comment Feb 24. El_C 09:17, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Feb 18 developments collapsed. El_C 16:45, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
:*{{Noting that an IP identifying as Mclarenfan17 did engage in some limited discussion on my talk page, but it has since fizzled out, with evasion continuing (on ranges that would result in too much collateral if blocked). As such, semiprotection seems like the way to go here, with an indefinite semi just applied by me to 2021 World Rally Championship, with other related pages likely to follow. El_C 19:06, 18 February 2021 (UTC)}}[reply]
    • Noting also that I have indefinitely blocked the Mclarenfan17 account due to continued socking. El_C 22:56, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Feb 24 developments collapsed. El_C 16:45, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
*{{{New small protection batch: 2021 Supercars Championship, 2021 Super2 Series, 2022 Supercars Championship, (same as above).}} El_C 11:04, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
{{Also noting that Mclarenfan17/IP keeps showing up on my talk page to post lengthy comments, as of yesterday on Feb 24 (permanent link), partially to violate their IBAN by speaking against their opponent, but also to make strange claims about how it would take them 6 weeks to get a registered account approved (is that even a thing?), which they feel isn't fair and so on. Meanwhile, they continue to edit the topic area via IP hopping on still too wide a range to block, as of Feb 23 (diffdiff), even though they know they shouldn't (I expressly told them so, repeatedly). So, not much confidence on that front (that we can end this whole whack-a-mole), unfortunately. Oh well. Sorry for the length of this! El_C 11:04, 25 February 2021 (UTC)}}[reply]
  • El C, discretionary sanctions are not authorized for this case, so these protections should not be labeled as AE actions, but regular admin actions. The only thing that needs to be logged here is the block of Mclarenfan17 for violating the IBAN remedy. – bradv🍁 13:34, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Bradv, ah, understood. Thanks, will keep that in mind moving forward (duly collapsed). El_C 14:56, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      • As there's no AE in this area, I've removed protection from most and any that looked possibly contentious (e.g. as though the protection was doing something (i.e. current seasons)), I added an expiry date of 1 January 2022, after which we can see if it is still necessary.
