We had that. They called themselves the "Association of Member's Advocates." They were disbanded because everyone saw them as a huge waste of time with 0 net benefit. -Chad On Nov 26, 2009 8:56 PM, <wjhonson(a)aol.com> wrote: I already pointed out that you cannot impose "friendliness". Our current state is one in which any particular admin may sit on any particular editor with or without adequate cause and that editor has nearly no power to affect a hearing. There is no advocate for the editors who are not admins. Until that situation changes, we cannot claim to be moving toward a friendly environment. What we need is an Office of the Editor Advocate. Any arrested person has the right to an attorney, provided free of charge by the state. That is what we need. Advocate-attorneys who are on the side of the arrested editor. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists... _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
