A barnstar for you!

The Admin's Barnstar

Dealing with unblock requests is tough. It was my main activity for a week or two, but I eventually gave up on an ever-increasing backlog and enormous amounts of time spent per case, just to be rewarded with people continuing to do what they did before the block. Thank you very much for your patience and frustration tolerance in preventing CAT:RFU from breaking down. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 21:00, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@ToBeFree: Thank you. It's reassuring to know that someone appreciates something one does, obviously. If it's of any interest, when I first became an administrator I made reviewing unblock requests one of my main tasks, but after a while I gradually came to do it less and less often, because I find in several ways it's very frustrating. I still do it reasonably frequently, but I am certainly not one of the administrators who do most of the unblock requests. JBW (talk) 21:43, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I didn't know you've done this since the beginning. I didn't dare for quite a while, I think.

Regarding frequency, heh.

Yamla needs a barnstar too, for example. I hope it's okay if I copy yours; you gave me the idea! ~ ToBeFree (talk) 23:01, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@ToBeFree: You seem to have found the main ones. It's an alarmingly small number, hich is why there's always a huge backlog of unblock requests, with blocked editors frequently having a very long wait, which is one of the reasons why I still sometimes help out.
