Let's not continue subject tags that imply someone is guilty. Most of
the time it's a baseless complaint from someone who was banned or
blocked for a very good reason.
I have changed the Subject in the e-mail thread as follows:
* Tag-teaming (was: Fvw's abuse of admin powers)
And when you reply to _this_ message, please strip off the part in
parentheses, so it looks like this:
* Tag-teaming
Thank you.

It does, and I agree. It blocks you
for 24 hours, even if the
block is less then 24 hours. I have no idea who thought this
was a good idea...
3RR was intended to be a protective measure
against
destructive revert
wars, and instead has been turned into a kind
punitive
measure which
often is only unilaterally applied. Some people
have gotten into the
habit of simply gaming the system, by getting a buddy
to assist in tag-teaming someone else --producing an
apparent greater culpability on the part of the one
individual over the other group.
If they are tag teaming, then the article can be
protected to
force them to discuss it. Additionally, gaming the system
about 3RR is actually against the 3RR, if you read it
closely. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----
