Abuse of the de-sysop area
Lir, if you don't stop listing legitimate sysops for imagined (or trivial-at-best) slights, I'm going to protect this page, and do what Theresa tried earlier and move all your comments to the user-conflicts page. --→Raul654 22:59, Jan 30, 2004 (UTC)
There is nothing trivial about banning me. These three individuals are working together to prevent my participation on the wikipedia; they are doing this by abusing their powers. Lirath Q. Pynnor 23:20, 30 Jan 2004 (UTC)
FWIW, I agree with Lir on this point—he at the very least has a right to lodge a complaint against Hephaestos. I'm not saying I agree with that complaint, but it's not prima facie a ridiculous one: Hephaestos has blocked Lir twice in the past two days despite there being no consensus that he be banned, or decision by either Jimbo or the newly-constituted arbitration committee. The blocking was undone by other sysops (Tim Starling once, and Angela once) relatively quickly, which indicates that at least some other sysops agree with Lir that it was unjustified. --Delirium 01:43, Jan 31, 2004 (UTC)
I also agree that this is a situation that needs to be aired. It needs to be discussed, decided, and rectified, one way or the other. - Hephaestos 01:46, 31 Jan 2004 (UTC)
