Exactly. Some of the people with checkuser can't be trusted. Answer me this: has AB ever been checkusered? Have I?
I'm sure there is at least one checkuser you trust. Ask them.
I've just asked every one of them that's on this list.
The last time I alluded to people with checkuser abusing their power I was told privately to contact the privacy ombudsman. But recent discussion on foundation-l has concluded that the privacy ombudsman has no power over inappropriate use of checkuser, because inappropriate use of checkuser is not a violation of the privacy policy.
Try ArbCom, then (yes, they are much the same people, but I still think you would get somewhere - assuming you have more than just a gut feeling).
No thanks. I'm not interested in having my name permanently libeled in *that* forum (again).
