I sympathize with this POV for two reasons:
1. Because Steve was recently taken down a peg (he
lost his sysop
rights) but he STILL is contributing to the
encyclopedia and trying to
find ways to improve the community.
I have not "lost [my] sysop rights." Anthere
(properly) acted to remove my sysop rights on a
request (a premature and perhaps partisan one) after
the "vote was closed." I had my "RFA" reopened because
I thought it should benefit from my input. Hence
Anthere's decision to desysop was neutral, and the
decision to not immediately resysop was nominal one,
and one that I did not object to while the RFA
continued.
The RFA failed to find consensus to desysop, and more
correctly it rejected the Arbcom's use of the RFA (and
its 70% threshold) to render a decision which it
(admittedly) could not come to --"deadlocked" case,
etc. Though I could have waited, I have asked Anthere
to restore my sysop status per the "unsuccessful
de-RFA aka my "successful RFA", aka the "remand
decision."
Sincerely,
SV
