I came across in some posts with the idea thatgiving Zoe sysop status gave her more "power" or "authority" to deal with Lir. Forgive me if I missed something, but last time I checked the sysop was an administrative status, and we do not have power to ban registered users, and the protecting of pages is very highly discouraged, so, I do not see where that "power" could come from; unless now the title "Sysop" now has some hidden significance.
That's basically right. What we want to preserve is the co-operative spirit, without an atmosphere of powerful people lording over the weak.
We *are* working on a way for sysops to ban registered users, but this power should only be used as usual, i.e. for banning "simple vandals". This change is coming about because we had a vandal last weekend who kept a lot of good people busy for a long time repairing damage.
