Please read this notification carefully:
A
community discussion has authorised the use of
general sanctions for pages related to the
Gamergate controversy.
The details of these sanctions are described
here.
General sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

Tyler,
You raise some interesting ideas in your talk page post, but essentially what you're asking is something Wikipedia fundamentally can't do. Our articles, by foundational policy, are based on information that is verifiable by dint of being published in reliable sources. If all the reliable sources are biased, as you contend, then Wikipedia's articles will necessarily share that bias.
However, I'd suggest that you seriously think about what you are claiming — that effectively every major mainstream media outlet has some sort of inherent "bias" against your position. Do you understand that this appears to outside observers as a grossly-overbroad and evidence-free conspiracy theory? Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. What evidence, much less proof, do you have to support this contention of yours? Moreover, why do you think such a broad-based coalition of people would all come to the same conclusion? I'd encourage you to do some soul-searching about what it is you really believe and what you think others really believe. What do you think Gamergate stands for, and what do other people think Gamergate stands for?

I know editing others' talk page comments is generally considered rude, but I took the liberty of fixing the link you attempted to the AN request (I assume it was just a copy/paste fail, but you actually linked to the editing form for the same section on DS' talk page). 76.69.75.41 ( talk) 10:04, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
We have more than enough drama whores mongers who have substantive contributions to the encyclopaedia, we really don't need new ones who don't. I have blocked this account indefinitely. Feel free to request unblocking, which I will gladly support on the proviso that you undertake to avoid all articles related to gamergate (broadly construed), sexual identity and gender politics (broadly construed), editors and media involved in the aforementioned, including on Wikipedia noticeboards. In other words: contribute to the encyclopaedia, or get lost.
Sorry to be brutal, but seriously, we have had enough. Guy ( Help!) 00:17, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

I am currently trying to avoid Gamergate-related discussion, but I'll provide my 2c since I was pinged. TyTy, whom I have not interacted with, has mostly been posting along two themes: that blocking/banning should be supported by policy, and discussing how to correctly apply WP:V. If "long-time Wikipedians with wide experience" were performing their roles properly, it would not be necessary to say these things. Being single-purpose is not an actionable offense, and it is particularly egregious to try to use blocking to extort a promise to avoid a topic area when there has been no disruptive editing.

@ TyTyMang: As I'm unsure if "email disabled" in block means that you can't contact the arbs for appeal, I've gone and asked for a review of your block at WP:AN. Hopefully sensibility will prevail. // coldacid ( talk| contrib) 19:38, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
