Fred, a banned user could cause a lot of trouble if he
got elected to
ArbCom using open proxies and a concocted admin account, built up
easily by doing lots of vandalism reverting. There has to be some
minimal accountability with admins, in part because they can be
elected to these positions, and in part because they can cause big
problems even without these extra powers.
And so could an UN-banned user. The current program doesn't strike me
as being accountability per se. Everybody being accountable to one
group of admins is inadequate.
The other thing about the harping on banning and identification is
that it's rather too obvously about preventing particular people from
editing, and not about the editing per se.
