This is a request for clarification about admins and their powers.
There's been a clear case today and yesterday of an admin abusing his powers (unprotecting a page he wanted to edit), and engaging in what could be argued amounts to vandalism. Complaints about this have met with the response that, though it's agreed that this admin abused his powers, there's nothing that can be done about it, because admins aren't allowed to block other admins for an abuse of power. All editors can do in a case like this, we're being told, is begin the long process of RfCs, mediation, and arbitration.
Regardless of the details of this particular case, is it true that admins are not allowed to block other admins for an abuse of power?
If this is true, how do we go about getting that changed?
