MZMcBride desysopped, Next case Options

[Cla68]

Apparently, MZMcBride is being desysopped. I didn't think that he was an abusive admin, but he made some serious mistakes in the way he went about doing admin work.

I guess if we want to try to relate this to the "big picture", it shows that Wikipedia, in my opinion, needs a more formal, structured system to help guide its admins in how they perform project maintenance.

Seeing MZMcBride get desysopped while other actual abusive admins are able to retain the bit is just ridiculous. It's also good to see where some of the Arbs stand on the matter, and I'm a bit surprised by a couple. Should be interesting to see how some of these arbs vote in the future on desysopping motions.

All I can add here is that arbcom is a place to bring cases of admin misconduct and misuse of tools, so people concerned should do so.

Tell that to Viridae, among others, of course. Maybe tell it to some current RFC commenters. I'm not sure how many would agree.

Or maybe it's better to just say something like "While it's a place to bring such cases, it's not necessarily a place to expect results."

I'm sure there are a few other applicable responses, but I'll just stick with those two.

In case you haven't noticed, this ArbCom is quite a bit different than last year's in both composition and philosophy. It's much more law and order. If you have a case of administrative misconduct, I believe that we will apply these standards across the board.

Hmmm. Then how to explain that Jayjg still has an admin bit (gone, but not forgotten), and SlimVirgin just got hers back (forgotten, but not gone)? Come to think of it, how do you explain Raul654 at all?

C'mon, even Gomi must have noticed the difference in ArbCom this year:

I think the odds of Jayjg being topic-banned, despite his obvious partisan position on the subject, are slim and none. Or should I say, SlimVirgin and none. It would not surprise me if Slim weighs in to carry water for J.

There are more covert New Labour spindoctors this year.
