[WikiEN-l] You Really Don't Get It

[Cascadia]

Overwhelming sense of entitlement?

David, you're missing my point in this whole thing. I am asking that admins 
be held accountable for their actions. For someone who was autoblocked for 
around an hour because someone decided to 'f'- policy and autoblock, thus 
forcing editors to either quit the discussion or out themselves in an 
attempt to be unblocked is a very troubling incident to them. Without being 
held accountable for his actions, he effectivly sends the message to all 
that an admin can block someone for any reason, even if their actions are 
well within the bounds of policy, have someone else unblock it and cause an 
uproar, and simply say I'm sorry and everything's OK. The only 
accountability is the collective memory of those involved who will remember 
his actions, and use it when/if the next time he makes a major mistake.

My personal opinion would be for desysoping, but ANY sort of accountability 
measure (a 24 hour block, something) would have been satisfying.

Whether or not we're professionals or not, volunteers or paid editors, it 
doesn't matter. In any organization, there must be a system of 
accountability that works, and that imposes even temporary discipline on the 
acting person.
