[WikiEN-l] Blocking badlydrawnjeff (was Re: Thoughts on #wikipedia - threat or menace?)

[Joe Szilagyi]

Didn't David Gerard just ask today what should be done about IRC?

Boggles the mind that people aren't responsible for any and all words spoken
in there or actions that spawn from there. I.e., if people told the blocking
admin, "Blocking Jeff would be good," in any wording, who did it ought to be
named. Why get a free pass? Note it on their permanent record on-wiki as
individuals of dubious judgement.

Those IRC channels need to be either fully public and logged, with all
Wikipedia policies applied to them, or disowned from the project, cast off
into a no-man's land, and removed from references on-wiki.

Regards,
Joe
