I have reason to believe that one of Betacommand's tools is currently violating the Toolserver's privacy policy by profiling individual users editing times and edited articles for comparative reasons as seen at:
http://toolserver.org/~betacommand/UserCompare/
This information would not normally be aggregated in such a way that it is easily obtainable and would require some effort and maths to do so.
"Tools that allow profiling of individual user's activity (beyond what can easily be achieved directly on the public wiki sites) must only be applied with the respective user's consent (opt-in)."
Whilst such information can be used against abusive editing, it promotes a gross violation of privacy.

Have you talked about your concerns to BetaCommand?
PS: You should have created a new mail for the new topic. Otherwise it gets threaded incorrectly. It is not an uncommon sin, but those people at least don't use to create a new topic by top-posting the new one.
