So I'm asking what those expectations are, with as much detail as possible. Then we can work on something which doesn't piss people off.
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.
You don't get that, any more than you get to object to a sysadmin looking through the logs of a server they are charged with administering. Checkuser is essentially a sysadmin function. (But then, you know this, having read the manual.)
Or any more than I get to object to (or even know about) a warrantless search of my phone records when George W Bush decides to go on a terrorist hunt. (But I know that, having read the lawsuits.)
