[WikiEN-l] Indefinite block and desysopping by User:Danny (Johntex)

[John Tex]

It seems to me that Danny should have marked his action as WP:OFFICE if he
meant it to carry the weight of an office action.  Not only did he leave off
the WP:Office label, he also left a misleading Talk page summary:  "This
article has been stubbed and protected pending resolution of POV issues."

That is very misleading and misleading the community is not a good way to
build trust or goodwill.

There should be no such thing as an office action that cannot be advertised
as an office action.  No one is asking Danny to explain WHY the office
action has to be taken.  Just tell us it IS an office action so we know not
to revert it.

Asking people to be mind readers is just wrong.

It's perfectly fine to suggest that maybe Eloquence should have contacted
Danny BEFORE reverting, not after.  But if we are going to hold Eloquence to
that standard, then we should hold Danny to it as well.  That means that
Danny should have contacted Eloquence before he banned him and de-sysopped
him.

Finally, I love the message for our attorney which explains the importance
of having an office policy, but does absolutely nothing to provide any
rational for why we should then FAIL TO FOLLW our office policy.  I guess
maybe that sort of speech fools some of the people some of the time.
