So MZMcBride is temporarily banned for an unspecified amount of time. I have some concerns: a) The fact all these are secret is a recipe for FUD and misunderstandings. From accusations of partiality of the committee to people being unblocked because people think its an accident, are all natural consequences of things being secret. I think this is bound to create a negative environment in the long term.
This.
b) What is the point of blocking him temporarily and not telling him how long he's banned for. That's just silly.
I'm going to quote someone out of context here, but I think it establishes the point I'd like to make:
"temporary solutions have a terrible habit of becoming permanent, around here"
