After the Soms/Elaragirl Saga, I remained blocked for a couple months.
I created an account named Two-Sixteen one day and began editing articles. I was courteous to everyone and was never warned for any reason. My intentions (although grand) were to edit excellently, become an administrator eventually, and then reveal myself to be Flameviper. Hopefully, the fact that an indefinitely-banned user could become a sysop would show everyone that I wasn't that bad after all, blah blah blah.
Two-Sixteen brings up the issue of Flameviper to CattleGirl, a sysop. I deliver a message to CattleGirl through e-mail.
The issue of my unblocking is brought up at WP:AN or some such board by SOMEONE OTHER THAN TWO-SIXTEEN. I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH.
There is actually a discussion held, which results in a consensus to unblock me. Through the entire discussion, the user Metros continually takes every opportunity to attack me ("major stability issues", "is a troll").
Flameviper is unblocked.
Jpgordon performs a random-ass checkuser and finds that Two-Sixteen and Flameviper are the same person.
Both accounts are indef-blocked.
checkusers are free to check whoever they like (as long as they have good reason). rfcu is just a convenience.
There's a difference between performing a checkuser, and using the result to unilaterally act in a manner contrary to what had resulted from what appears to have been a consensus arising from a discussion.
