Yes.
What to do. Clearly we can't back down. We are already reciving far to many lible threats. If we back down here every obsevive with a grudge will try the same tactic.
There may be legal options but:
A) I doubt we can afford them B) Many of them will have no effect (I doubt he has any UK assets for example) C) They can only kick in once the information is out there
negoate with the guy.
Not posible. As outlined above we can't afford to back down and anyway what he wants can't be offered by anyone below board level.
Increase admin security.
Not much we can do here since most people will have a pre wikipedia trail. We could offer emails on the wikipedia but that does nothing for past stuff.
We should probably be doing more to warn potential admins of the downsides (we lose numbers but less burnout hopeful). Even at a lower level than phoneing (email userpage vandalism) you are going to get some theats.
Adminship may or may not be a big deal on wikipedia. To the outside world it appears to be and with the growth of wikipedia this is a problem. -- geni
