appreciate much more how difficult it is to "kick out" people. You do
know that Lir is still around, right? How many times did we block the
guy? The fact that problem users become invisible in terms of
traceable identities doesn't make them go away. It makes the problem
worse. And you also remember User:Michael, I'm sure. I think that
experiment is generally considered to be successful?
I am not talking about trolls and problem users in this case, though. I
am talking about bad editors, editors who don't stop to think that
reverting someone who is trying to remove libel about themselves is a
horribly stupid thing to do.
Unless we want to radically reduce that level of
openness, we need to
stick to our usual patience in dealing with problem users.
Right, and I do not think we have a problem with that.
