One thing I expect is to know when checkuser is run against me. I expect to know about this before it happens, and I expect a chance to argue against it happening.
But, even if this were fixed I still doubt I'd feel comfortable with the system. I think I'd have to vote for abandoning the tool completely.
Anthony, When you were caught using a sock the folks who investigated the sock decided to extend you an assumption of good faith and took your claim, that you didn't intend the negative outcome which followed from, at face value. Your actions were not publicly disclosed in that case, even though only your reputation would have been hurt and not your privacy.
I just took a look. You're not on the checkuser list. So how exactly did you find out about this sockpuppet?
