Statement by User:Dtobias

A "community ban" supposedly occurs when no admin is willing to unblock an indef-blocked user. However, as in this case, when an admin does wish to unblock the user, there are many who start chiming in about how horribly wrong this is and that it warrants an emergency desysopping. Thus, the definition of a "community ban" seems to end up being "the ruling clique wants him/her banned, so all the admins had better toe the line." *Dan T.* (talk) 23:13, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
