Shrug. Admins are never "obliged" to enforce
policy if it gives a stupid
result. ArbCom are "obliged" to make some sense out of what the policy
pages say, bearing in mind the good of the mission. Asking for 1500
admins to come up with a consensus position is fairly futile. Asking an
Arbitrator is consulting an informed person. I know what I'd think of an
admin who blocked a school project on this technicality. i'll concede
that what is recommended should be well thought through, but my feeling
is that this could lead to second-best advice being given.
You have some really big problems with your understanding of how
Wikipedia works... First, you claim that ArbCom should be deciding our
policy on role accounts and now you claim that admins should. You are
completely wrong on both counts. Policy is determined by THE
COMMUNITY.
