Exactly. The big problem with community desysoppings is that any admin doing their job properly will have enemies. The longer you do the job, the more enemies you will have. Whenever you block someone, you annoy the blockee. Whenever you delete an article, you annoy the creator. Whenever you protect an article, you annoy the person whose version you didn't protect on. If you let those people be in charge of the desysopping process, we won't have any good admins left doing even slightly controversial work (which, as I've explained, is pretty much all admin work). _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
