Here are my claims simplified:
- TBSDY was speedying large amounts of images labeled as "fair use"
as being copyvios. 2. There are no CSD provisions for speedying images as copyvios (or at least, were not any at the time he was doing this; I haven't checked them since then). 3. TBSDY claimed that Jimbo gave him the right to speedy images as copyvios in a private e-mail. 4. TBSDY produced the e-mail, and it said that TBSDY could nominate the images for deletion (the proper policy), and if that failed, Jimbo might decide to speedy them. It did not say TBSDY could speedy images, or any other admin, as copyvios.
My conclusions: TBSDY did not, in fact, have the authority to speedy images as copyvios, and was acting against policy. I'm perfectly happy to assume good faith on this and assume he misunderstood Jimbo's e-mail or something like that -- nothing dishonest is posited.
Seems like an amount of misunderstanding.
Can we see the email?
