Problem is the out of process blocks. In that case the problem is two
fold. When something is within process it looks like everyone is
working from the same rulebook and for the most part admins can avoid
takeing flack since thier actions are not really personal.

Once you step outside process you have the problem that it appears the
rules only apply to the little people and that it looks a lot more
personal. Worse still it may be more than apearence.
