Strongly agree with Danny.
I took a look at the Star Chamber ArbCom page and saw the latest effort against 172. Guess you never get tenure around here.
I disagree there is elitism here and 172 did have tenure, after all he had recently been sanctioned by the arbcom, a couple years ago he had been "temporarily" desysoped, and yet he retained his sysop powers to abuse again. Some people don't have the proper temperament or discipline to be entrusted with sysop powers. Perhaps if he had not been tempted by power, he would still be here contributing. There should be zero tolerance for personal abuse of sysop powers (as opposed to mere mistakes of fact or interpretation), instead of tenure. I am pressing for such a policy. -- Silverback
