[Foundation-l] AbuseFilter to be enabled on all Wikimedia wikis by default today

[Wjhonson]

Give me permission.
I am volunteering to head up the abuse filter team.

Thomas don't mistake my point for some other point.
I am not suggesting that admins AS EDITORS should veer away from content creation, but rather that admins using their clubs should not be given more clubs with which to club.

Let me rephrase in a slightly less trollish manner.
>
 Admins should never be given powers over content.

erhaps fittingly, the abuse filter has been active on English Wikipedia for
ome time. And even better, it is not a "sysop" group right. Instead it has
ts own group.
If you are volunteering to head up the abuse filter team and work to
mplement filters to  filter out the mass of junk and long term abusers,
lease let me know and I will be happy to give you the permission!
Otherwise.. perhaps get off the high horse? ;)

  Not now, not then, not ever.
 Admins have no business being involved in content of any type ever :)
 In every possible universe.

That sucks, I was trying to sort out the dire lack of coverage of my local
istory, but I guess you are right. Sorry - you won't find me near content
ver again. Sorry!
;)
Tom
