David, I saw an email sent to this list on the admin who was removing the unblock request from the page of a user he himself had blocked. YOU declared it a nonissue. I'm sure that the affected user, who by our arbcom rules is the "only" one allowed to make such an arbcom case,
I've seen arbcom cases started by those not directly involved.
This is a larger problem I have with our policies, though. Every policy we have on the matter is designed to make it impossible for an aggrieved user to make any protest against abuse.
My experence suggests otherwise. In fact at the moment most of our policy appears to be focused on when stuff can be deleted.
