Rights revoked

Hi TrustedInstaller,

Sadly, I have had to revoke your administrator testing user group right as your first action (aside from a test block of the Google Public DNS server IP address) was to undo @Naleksuh:'s block of a long-term abuse IP address, as you did with this log action.

It will not be reinstated, until you can satisfy, to Naleksuh's and my satisfaction, of your valid reason for unblocking that recently blocked IP address.

Thanks,

Hello, that IP was open on port 8080 proof. http://108.30.102.177:8080 is now closed. Therefore it is impossible for the LTA to connect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TrustedInstaller (talk • contribs)

I don't see any evidence that the proxy is closed. Either way, undoing an lta block only four minutes after gaining admin rights is a very bold action. Naleksuh (talk) 01:03, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

I have tried to connect and it is indeed closed. TrustedInstaller (talk) 01:05, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

(edit conflict) I concur with @Naleksuh: completely. Moreover, as you explained in requesting testing rights, you wanted to test the MediaWiki interface, which this certainly wasn't that. Dmehus (talk) 01:05, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

Alright, sorry. But I can guarantee you there is no open proxy on that IP anymore. TrustedInstaller (talk) 01:07, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

Still, I'm inclined to think it's best for you to take a brief pause before rerequesting administrator rights (at least two weeks). Dmehus (talk) 01:09, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

It was blocked for long term abuse, not blocked solely for being a proxy and nothing else, meaning that unblocking for the proxy being closed is not okay. I would be willing to re-grant administrator in two weeks per rope as long as it is used properly this time, but would avoid granting bureaucrat for a while. Naleksuh (talk) 01:11, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
