This policy would not allow a checkuser on CharlotteWebb
As explained on the RFA, CharlotteWebb came to my attention while I was investigating other abuses and abusers. His/her name kept showing up on the list of editors every time a TOR proxy was involved...
Okay, but part of the trust that's involved in a tool like checkuser is *not* paying attention to (let alone revealing) stuff you accidentally notice while investigating something else.
If I'm a system administrator who has access to everyone's mailbox, for example, and while investigating some mailbox corruption I happen to notice a confidential email indicating that an acquaintance of mine is screwing his sister-in-law, I'm really supposed to keep that to myself.
