Why Wikipedia policy needs serious and immediate reform

This user is asking that their block be reviewed:

Knotweed (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I have been blocked as a sock, apparently for having the audacity to question the sentiments expressed in an essay about socking. There was no SPI or even ad-hoc discussion, no rationale was provided, no evidence was proffered, no sock-master has been implicated, and no advice about how to fight this slur given. Knotweed (talk) 06:37, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Notes:

In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks. If no block is listed, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead for quick attention by an administrator.
Please read our guide to appealing blocks to make sure that your unblock request will help your case. You may change your request at any time.

Administrator use only:

If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, replace this template with the following, replacing "blocking administrator" with the name of the blocking admin:

{{Unblock on hold |1=blocking administrator |2=I have been blocked as a sock, apparently for having the audacity to question the sentiments expressed in an essay about socking. There was no SPI or even ad-hoc discussion, no rationale was provided, no evidence was proffered, no sock-master has been implicated, and no advice about how to fight this slur given. [[User:Knotweed|Knotweed]] ([[User talk:Knotweed#top|talk]]) 06:37, 7 August 2014 (UTC) |3 = ~~~~}}

If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following code, substituting {{subst:Decline reason here}} with a specific rationale. Leaving the decline reason unchanged will result in display of a default reason, explaining why the request was declined.

{{unblock reviewed |1=I have been blocked as a sock, apparently for having the audacity to question the sentiments expressed in an essay about socking. There was no SPI or even ad-hoc discussion, no rationale was provided, no evidence was proffered, no sock-master has been implicated, and no advice about how to fight this slur given. [[User:Knotweed|Knotweed]] ([[User talk:Knotweed#top|talk]]) 06:37, 7 August 2014 (UTC) |decline = {{subst:Decline reason here}} ~~~~}}

If you accept the unblock request, replace this template with the following, substituting Accept reason here with your rationale:

{{unblock reviewed |1=I have been blocked as a sock, apparently for having the audacity to question the sentiments expressed in an essay about socking. There was no SPI or even ad-hoc discussion, no rationale was provided, no evidence was proffered, no sock-master has been implicated, and no advice about how to fight this slur given.
