[WikiEN-l] SlimVirgin and CheckUser leaks

[David Katz]

It certainly doesn't appear that SV was given this information so that she
could block or report the person on whom the CheckUser was run. Instead, it
appears that she was told so she could tip off the person.

Perhaps we should just have a policy where users against whom a checkuser is
run have the right to be informed rather than have a situation where you
only find out if your friends with someone who is the friend of a Checkuser
who leaks info.
