User talk:MatchedBettingTips

October 2023[edit]

Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because your account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. Also, your username gives the impression that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

If you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization, you may request unblock and a username change. In your reasons, you must:

Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement; and
Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked; and
Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked; and
Provide a new username.

To do this, post the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken and in use by another account. You can go here to search and see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is available to be taken.

Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 19:26, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Dear Wikipedia administrators,

I sincerely apologize for any confusion or perception of promotional intent my previous username might have created. My choice of "MatchedBettingTips" was driven by a genuine interest in sharing knowledge about matched betting. I intended to provide helpful insights and tips, and I did not mean to advertise or promote a specific business or website. I understand the concerns raised, and I'm committed to ensuring my contributions align with Wikipedia's guidelines. I'm not being compensated for my contributions and have chosen the new username "boscaned" to avoid any future misunderstandings. Moving forward, I aim to make constructive edits that enhance the quality of Wikipedia articles and uphold the platform's integrity. I appreciate your consideration and look forward to contributing positively to Wikipedia.

Decline reason:

I don't believe for a second that you aren't a paid editor. Note that does not require specific compensation for contributions, employment counts. Please tell what contributions you will make now that you know you won't be permitted, in the short term, to edit about betting. 331dot (talk) 21:51, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
