[WikiEN-l] The Lir situation

Sat Feb 8 20:22:00 UTC 2003

Zoe,

thanks for thinking about this. The thing is, while Lir has made many  
edits that justified her ban, as Mav and others have observed, her  
behavior has somewhat improved recently. I don't recall her calling anyone  
a moron under the "Vera Cruz" identity, for example. I also think that any  
ban should be temporary, and that we should give everyone an opportunity  
to reform.

Regarding your connected sysop request, I have no objections under these  
conditions, which every sysop should meet:

1) That you are not an editor, but a moderator;
2) That you do not use the "page protection" privilege in conflicts where  
you yourself are involved;
3) That you only delete pages which are obvious nonsense  
("aihwerjfoaijw"), or have been listed on "Votes for deletion" for a while  
without significant dissent.

Given these restrictions, I also find it hard to see what you could do  
regarding Lir's behavior with sysop privileges that you cannot presently  
do?

Regards,

Erik
