::Just to clarify, he was blocked more for ''intent'' than for ''actions''? If he had kept his mouth shut, or claimed it was simply a harmless attribution watermark, he would not have gotten a block? Or was it the ''number'' of images uploaded? If he had uploaded 14 instead of 1400 he would not have been blocked? – [[User:Jbarta|JBarta]] ([[User talk:Jbarta#top|talk]]) 00:56, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

:::No, the user was blocked for spamming. The user uploaded thousands of pictures with the same watermark, created a spam userpage, put numerous categories on each image so they would show up more places, and admitted that his purpose was to spam Commons. Before I examined the complete materials associated with this user, much of which is buried in revision history, I was content to assume good faith but the user is evading the spirit of the rules. I'd say the intentions match the actions pretty closely even though we don't have an explicit policy against this practice. [[User:Mono|'''Mono''']] 01:05, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
