Bug #: 28713
Summary: Request to have the right for administrators to issue
indefinite blocks removed
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.17
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Blocking
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Per this link:
http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:AAA#Unban_User:Ungoliant_MMDCCLXIV
I wish to make an application for the Wiki software to be amended to remove the
right of indefinite ban against any user, and for this function to be
restricted to bureaucrats only.
I've had it made quite clear to me during a conversation in #wikinews that
administrators do not have the right to decide that a user has no redeeming
qualities, regardless of what they've done in the past or what they're doing
now.
As such, I feel that administrators should not have this right available to
them, since we're clearly not capable of deciding what a user is doing wrong is
worthy of what we apply to them.
