I apologize if I’m being disruptive currently, but I’m wondering if I could have my ban reduced from 1 month to two weeks (which would make me banned for 2 more days). My ban was a weird case, since while it was an April Fools joke that was done during the festivities, it’s also one that many deem offensive and innappropriate. While I understand being blocked at all (frankly, I did deserve one because it was innapropriate), 1 month is a tad bit extreme. It doesn’t fully fit into the mold of vandalism, since it was done early during April Fools, and the joke, while innapropriate, was not done with malicious intent. It was simply a pun that I thought was funny (because K.K. Slider only needed an extra K to become a joke, not to mention the white fur), and I truly apologize for offending many people from that joke. I thought the joke would only be offensive if it was actively praising the KKK or calling K.K. Slider a white supremacist, not by simply mentioning the group. Reading through the official block policy, a month-long ban is only for severe or multiple offenses. I’m aware of my checkered past of warnings on multiple subjects, but looking through my contribution history shows that I usually stop repeating the offense after a single warning.

:You stop harping on one issue but start another to avoid blocks. I want to be clear, if it weren't AFD, it would have been an infinite ban, and no amount of appeal would have swayed me. The block policy isn't a policy, but a general guideline for admins to get an idea for the "how long" question, especially when starting out. I'm sorry but no, the block stands as is. <span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva;border:outset #083 2px">'''[[User:Serpent King|<span style="color:#083;background:#ed0;padding:1px">Serpent</span>]][[User talk:Serpent King|<span style="color:#ed0;background:#083;padding:1px">King</span>]]'''</span> 15:21, April 12, 2019 (EDT) | :You stop harping on one issue but start another to avoid blocks.

::Had I not made that joke on April Fools, that would have been vandalism, so of course I would have been given an infinite ban considering the innapropriateness of the joke. I’ll stop trying to reduce my ban, but I do want to clarify 2 things before leaving for the remaining two weeks of my ban: | |||
:::1. While I do continuously flock over to different discussions and perseverate over almost every single one I participate in, I’m making an active effort to improve myself. Usually, multiple of these issues are all in the back of my mind when editing the wiki, but I just start or massively contribute to one of these issues to keep attention focused on that one and that one only instead of having multiple half-dead discussions going on, not to avoid blocks like what you believe I’m doing. If that’s not a good standard, then I’ll make an active effort to fix that too. | |||
:::2. Despite being blocked, I intend to make meaningful contributions outside of April Fools. Looking over your proposal for the birthday template, I '''Support''' it, as most of the info on the main page is completely stagnant anyways (as the forum and the youtube channel are both dead, and the featured article and “do you know” section haven’t changed in quite some time). You can choose whether or not my input on that proposal would be counted. I apologize for discussing something outside of my ban for that, but I do want to make useful contributions in good faith.
