Well, I just
got an explanation for that:
1. Official foundation policy is that open proxies are blocked
* Why for logged in users?
Because there was only one way of blocking when the policy was created.
2. Any change from that should work and have no negative consequences
3. This change
does not work because people in countries with these IP
still
cannot work on WikipediaNL
4. This change has the negative side effect that people can create a
sockpuppet and use an open IP to edit from their sock puppet, which
makes
sock puppets less easy to detect.
* where is 'Assume good faith' ?
I don't think we have a rule 'assume good faith' on nl:. Apart from that, I
cannot answer questions about the opinions of people I don't agree with...
Do I agree with this? No. But I'm not a sysop, so my voice don't count. And
if I were a
sysop, probably anything I do would be considered wheel
warring,
with me voluntarily giving up sysop powers being the most likely
outcome.
* Always thought that sysops are for helping Wikimedians not only banning
:(
I guess that relationships are too much damaged on nl: to make that a valid
option. There's quite a few people who feel it's "us vs. them", with
them
being the sysops. Or at least are of the opinion that the sysops have too
much power.
