Since when did arbcom set precedent?
Leaving, .. no problem. Using threats of leaving to manipulate and
otherwise spread ill will.. very uncool.
I like the notion of automatic desysoping for anyone who 'quits'
simply because we can handle it in a straightforward and dispassionate
way. It will give people cause to pause for a moment before they bring
out the hysterical reaction. ... but until we become more fair about
resysoping people, I'm not sure that the results would be good.
And, we've then got less potential disgruntled former admins running
around screaming "omg censorship". Why is is that adminship on en: is
effectively for life? While I don't think that they need to be
reconfirmed, certainly people should lose it if they're inactive.
