Perhaps the secret vs. private discussions have run their course - folk seem to be talking past each other.
Here's a specific instance from my case which I find a little concerning;
"the only significant off-wiki discussion in relation to the blocks (of which I am aware anyway) was me asking a small number of trusted admins, including arbitrators and specifically Jimbo, whether your use of alternate accounts was acceptable. Nobody said anything but "no". *Guyhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:JzG * (Help! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:JzG/help)"
I think it's a fair conclusion from that statement that you (Jimbo) and arb.s and other unnamed admins have discussed my case privately prior to my receiving any warnings or blocks.
When the matter reached arbitration, I would think that that should be disclosed. Wouldn't you?
best,
PM.
I would be concerned about such lists myself, if any of them existed. I am unaware of any.
