Due to your rampant confrontational behavior, and since you have shown little, if any, evidence of improving said behavior from the past year or two, you have been blocked permanently.
And you really shouldn't try accusing the admins for this. You only have your own behavior to blame.
He persistently asked for fanart/screengrab requests from us (mainly TeeJay87), even when we declined said requests.
Furthermore, even when he got said requests, he has welched out of reimbursing the artist, apparently under the impression that he can get this stuff for free. His ideas for payment have included buying cars and video games for us. Or even just giving drawings of his own, which were basically triangles (or pyramids, as he called them).
He has acted aggressively towards others when he doesn't get his way (hence the "rampant confrontational behavior" I mentioned above), especially with threats (this he's done with other people, like on the Community Central Wiki). He's said things like "I'm going to...
...sue you.
...send my father to beat you up.
...tell Chuck Norris/Donald Trump/whoever about you".
He has also claimed (multiple times) that his actions were done by either people he's made up ("Doc Boy Arbinkle") or by one of us impersonating him (namely Nermalfan316).
He has inappropriately relied on the wiki for multiple questions not related to the wiki, e.g. the nutritional value of flour, bank notes, aliens, Iraq not being mentioned in the Bible.
He got way into speculative ideas on here, e.g. that certain characters from The Garfield Show were the same since they are both voiced by the same person, or that one of the TGS specials (Into the Wild) would feature the title character of Curious George.
And despite his claims that he would improve, he has, like I said, "shown little, if any, evidence of improving said behavior from the past year or two."
You can find those things (among others) on the messages he posted on my message wall (as well as those of other admins).
Another thing he tended to do was constantly ask for personal information and get upset when it wasn’t provided. Even after he was blocked here, this behavior towards us continued on his own wiki. He’s also been blocked on multiple other wikis for similar offenses, mostly harassment. His current global block is for this, though.
He's misinterpreted how this block was done. He thinks I only did this because the other administrators forced me into blocking him so they wouldn't turn on me. Apparently the thought that I'd simply agree with everyone about him being too much for us to handle is (as detailed above), well, too much for him to handle. It looks like another one of his conspiracy theories where he blames everyone but himself (and me, it seems) for actions taken against him (I should note that he considers me to be his only friend because of this alleged reason).

Okay, I've officially cut ties with him. After putting up with much of his nonsense, like what I wrote above, and especially his stalker-like tendency to find out my personal information (as Luke mentioned). All these years, I've noticed him not knowing things that he should know by now, including what would be considered common sense. I've also been willing to give him a lot of chances to improve himself. But no more. He's finally crossed the line for me. He clearly doesn't know what it takes to be a friend, at least not online.
I understand he'll probably think I'm some sort of villain, like the others that have stood up to him. He'll probably even bluff some threat towards me, as he's done before. And that's too bad for him, if he's still hanging on to such delusions. I'd say he really needs help of some sort. I thought I could steer him towards that through our talks, but now I think he'd be more likely to do that without me.
So yeah, if that's how he's going to be, then it looks like he's not going to change, thus making this goodbye for good. A real shame, but that's not my fault.

Tim, I believe you made good choice. Personally, I'd had cut those ties with him much earlier, but at least we all have enough evidence, that certain individual doesn't deserve any trust.
Just because a person with apparently negative attitude considers you as "a villain", it doesn't mean that person counts as reliable source of information, especially when compared to his "proofs of heroism" composed of threats, bullying, rage attacks and nagging for requests. It's pretty much the same propaganda mechanism Joseph Goebbels and his henchmen used to depict Jews, Slavic people (including those from my homeland), British and Americans, just on lesser scale. Still, it doesn't make good excuse.
Like I said before: best we can do is leave that individual with his tantrums and treat him like an air. As long as he's (apparently) pleased with the way he functions in the cyberspace, we can't help him.

No, not yet, at least. I was talking to him on Google Hangouts for a few days last week before reaching the last straw (I had previously chatted with him there in late February/early March, which led to a month long break since I was getting fed up with his constant desire to talk).
Unfortunately, he's followed us to Facebook, where I've recently gotten a page for this wiki started. He's been trying to sabotage it, and...well, check it out if you want to see how well he's doing with that.

Like I said, depends on what the powers that be have to say.
Or did you mean just keep him out of sight as far as I'm concerned? I've already blocked him from Google Hangouts (hence my cutting ties with him). I tried doing that on Facebook, though it didn't help in regards to his "review".

- as well as below this message, by wishing me death from ISIS and accusing me of slurs I've never told you.
Like I said previously, I understand you have issues, but those are not valid excuses for Special Snowflake Syndrome. Hate to repeat myself, but if all humankind lowered to your level, this would bring doom to our species.
I won't apologize you for slurs I've never used against you.
Of course I'm aware that your psychobabble is nothing but your way to nag requests from me, as if you couldn't simply pay like civilized man of honor you claim to be - by using money.
I have discussed with the rest of administration about your ban period. We may shorten it, if you unconditionally and fully agree to my drawing policy http://garfield.wikia.com/wiki/User:TeeJay87#Misc.
This is your last chance to not misbehave towards us, as you have done before here and on your own wiki. Wikia’s Terms of Use covers some of what you have done:
Under User Conduct, one must agree not to “abuse, harass, threaten or intimidate other Wikia users”;
Under the Community Guidelines, “it's often unnecessary and even rude to bother anyone for information about their offline life” (in regards to privacy);
And you should not spam, which includes “repeatedly pasting the same thing on wikias or in chat, even if it's not an advert” (this would surely include your persistent asking for requests).
Therefore, if you misbehave again, we will report to you to the powers that be at Wikia. From there, you may get banned globally from Wikia. You may not take that potential consequence seriously, but the Garfield Wiki administration does. And don’t try blaming Luke for “bullying” you, seeing as how you have no evidence to back that claim.
Having read, what you have written here http://super-villains.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:2507#61 , I wanted to tell you one thing in your own Wiki chat you keep me invinting to, only to block from silly reasons. Thus I'm forced writing my message to you in public:
I'm sorry for you having Down syndrome, as you admitted in aforesaid thread, but it's not a reason to behave in disgusting way like you're doing. People with worse disorders than yours adapt to society, the society isn't adapting to them.
Hope you understand this statement, before you harm yourself really bad. And I'm not trying to intimidate you.
Your block will now end on February 1, 2016, as you have continued to harrass the Garfield wiki admins in varying ways, including, but not limited to, coercing one of them to join your wiki's chat despite his wishes and accusing another of framing you (a claim you have used earlier this year).
I would also advise not presenting threats and allegations as "jokes", which aren't really funny in the first place and get old fast. Furthermore, it suggests that you are backpedalling, surely to absolve yourself of any wrongdoing that you've clearly committed (I recall you expressing such denial before), which the administration also finds unimpressive (except, perhaps, for your persistance).
As far as at least I'm concerned, your request ban (up until 2016) should also include talking about what sort of requests you want. Activity on requests would include discussion about them. It can, and probably will, also be considered bothering who you're asking; that's something you should refrain from doing.
The ideal scenario would be if you don't even mention anything about requests until January 1, 2016.
Also, even though you can ask about requests again next year, we can still decline them. This doesn't mean you are allowed to harass other users again after this request ban is up.
We had to lengthen your block till 8th January 2016, due to the way you harass people on your own wiki:
- by using threats;
- by performing disgusting haughtiness (claiming that it has to be okay when you act nasty towards people, but opposite behavior isn't okay);
- by using foolish excuses for your behavior.
Low Spark of Lyman has already warned you on 25th July 2015 (see below), and his friendly warnings didn't help. Thus, it's my duty to execute the longer block.
You need to understand that such forms of conduct don't impress people, and don't bring the results that you intended.
Your block will now expire on October 3rd, due to your continued harassment from your wiki. This especially includes your allegation that an administrator somehow hijacked your account and did all the edits that got you banned in the first place. Since you have no legitimate evidence about that, yet still claim that it is true, I see no reason to believe it.
Since I understand that you think that idea will get you unblocked here, this should demonstrate that such attempts are counter-productive, hence making your block longer, not shorter. If you exhibit such behavior further, you can expect your block to be even longer.
I understand. Though I am concerned about how he'll react. It's one thing to be upset over an extended block, it's another to blame someone else (once again without legitimate evidence) for the offending actions.
