change the CSD to include particularly stupid templates.
What do we do about users --- most of them newbies, most of them bound
up in some way with the userbox debacle --- who think Wikipedia is a
democracy, and any opposition is rogue admins gone Fascist? Standing
over them and saying "Jimbo says such-and-such! Respect his authority,
damnit!" probably wouldn't do much good.
Well, I have just made a proposal to the infamous ArbCom case now
reflecting this. Provided this passes, you can point them to this and
say we are not impressed by people messing Jimbo about.
