That strikes me as an unusual "remedy".
There seems to be a theory that "you can only lose your admin powers by using
them". Not quite sure where it comes from, but it's a rule of thumb. I don't
entirely agree with this theory. I suppose ArbCom remedies are supposed to be improving
matters, rather than being punitive.
This does have the problem that things can't be done for deterrent effect/pour
encourager les autres. The snag there is that the more roguish the admin, the less the
available slaps on the wrist do deter.
