Bans being removed after short periods of time.
I find it remarkably sad that you chose to pick as "problems" three
rules and guidelines that illustrate just how well the underlying
philosophies of Freenode and Wikimedia mesh. You may wish to
re-familirise yourself with our mission in Wikimedia.

Ehm, mission? What has the duration of a ban or op status to do with
spreading of
knowledge? It's more about culture here :) The way we want to
behave, the values we share. But of course you are right that these things
are actually not strong enough in Freenode according to quite some
wikipedians... So funny that these are mentioned as bad :P
