At this point, it certainly looks like that. That, and the "f*** Arbcom" thing. If you know otherwise, please explain.

and you're *seriously* positing that the WMF would ban an admin for doing only what you describe?

The only case of "harassment" apparently cited here was "I kept writing garbage articles, and someone kept flagging them as garbage! Harassment! Bad!"
If you don't want your articles to be flagged as garbage, FIND YOUR
SOURCES
PRIOR TO WRITING THEM, AND CITE THEM. That's rather a requirement anyway. The editor in question repeatedly failed to do that, repeatedly had her articles flagged for failure to do that, and regarded that as
"harassment"
rather than her own failure to follow the English Wikipedia's policies. Next time, she needs to find the sources first, and write the article
only
after she has them in hand.

If someone is able to harass someone for years and nothing is done then clearly community procedures are not “perfectly adequate”

This misses the point, as others have highlighted already.
The WMF can and /should/ globally and permanently ban paedophiles, terrorists, system hackers and people making multiple cross-wiki
death
threats or threats of suicide. There are perfectly good and understandable reasons as to why the evidence behind these attacks
and
threats would be kept unpublished, it's seriously personal or
criminal
stuff.
The WMF making topic bans, interaction bans and limited project specific bans against Wikipedians is a brand new invention, which
goes
against the pre-existing understanding that the WMF do not replace existing and perfectly adequate community agreed procedures for banning bad behaviour on our projects. Once full time WMF employees start doing in parallel what volunteer administrators already do,
then
we should question why we do not *pay* volunteers administrators the same hourly rate and we are likely to see a mass exodus of administrators. After all, would you, say, deliver the post for free in your area for fun, but thereby take away decent full time employment with a guaranteed pension for your local postie?
If the reason for the WMF stepping in to ban Fram for a year is because the WMF do not trust Wikipedia administrators or Wikipedia's Arbcom to take sensible action in harassment cases, then they should be raising that honestly and openly with Arbcom. If the English Wikipedia's policies are not fit for purpose, or implementation of policy is incompetent, we need a much bigger discussion than whether Fram did something so terrible it cannot be named, but oddly was not worth a global ban but only the equivalent of a 12 month block on Wikipedia while they are free to do whatever they feel like on other Wikimedia projects.

An admin got desysoped and banned after repeated warnings? So
what? The
only ting to be learned is that some people believe they can do
whatever
they want and it has no consequences, and other people goes
ballistic
when
consequences happen.
I would have given desysoped fram and 14 days to cool off, and if
that
did
not work out repeated with one month. Banning someone for one year
is
like
telling them to leave and don't come back. Someone at WMF is
clearly
overly
sensitive, but not reacting would also be wrong. _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at:
