Hi Lodewijk,
You say:
*"My main takeaway from this discussion would be that it's good if there is a neutral review option for actions by the T&S team (or the WMF in general), such as an ombudsperson."*
I think this is a very good idea, last Saturday we talked about an internal audit for this, same idea I think. I know of several instances where the T&S team had to act/ was asked to act, and reviewing procedures from time to time should be a normal in a healthy organisation.
Vriendelijke groet, Ciell

(forking the discussion to allow a focus on more general line, rather than the specifics of who wrote what, why and when) My main takeaway from this discussion would be that it's good if there is a neutral review option for actions by the T&S team (or the WMF in general), such as an ombudsperson.
A detailed discussion or evaluation of specific sanctions by the Trust and Safety team is not the kind of conversation to have publicly - I think most people agree on this. In conversations like this, there is always at least one party less comfortable to discuss the matter in public (or even discuss it at all, indeed).
At the same time, if actions are so severe, it's good if there is opportunity to have a review of the actions taken by a third party, to confirm to the person against who sanctions have been laid (or complainants in case no sanctions were laid), that appropriate processes were followed.
(This is perhaps stating the obvious - and I should acknowledge that I don't know enough about WMF processes today to know for sure whether this has maybe already even been implemented in the WMF structures a long time ago. I do get the impression though that if this is the case, not everyone is familiar with this option.)
Best, Lodewijk
