QUOTE(LamontStormstar @ Wed 18th July 2007, 1:43am) Jayjg is high enough in the cabal to get away with murdering Jimbo Wales. Hmmm.... Maybe, but I doubt he'd do something that would carry such a high risk of exposure after the fact. After all, those ticker-tape parades do tend to reduce one's personal privacy a tad. QUOTE Even when they de-admin someone, all the bad things the admin did are left to stand. Whaaaa...? Are you saying they won't give User:CharlotteWebb a new and "unprejudiced" shot at an RfA, in light of this severe draconian punishment they've mercilessly meted out to Jayjg? Surely this cannot be?

I am happy they didn't try to institute a TOR-ban. Not that I use it or anything. (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/tongue.gif)

How does that help if the IPs are blocked? she can always use new ips. Not always so easy.

QUOTE(LamontStormstar @ Wed 18th July 2007, 12:13pm) QUOTE(gomi @ Wed 18th July 2007, 10:14am) Not that I expected anything different from Arbcom (especially with Jayjg still on the Arbcom mailing list), but this just formalizes the embroidered "ABOVE THE LAW" merit badge that Jayjg wears. As noted, his mis-use of Checkuser is widespread, and he routinely checkuser's people who oppose him and SlimVirgin in content disputes.
Seriously, though, Jayjg is the single most abusive admin for whom we have no idea of a real identity. More works needs to be done here.
Do we even know Jayjg's location or IP address? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Granatstein ? Jew in Toronto.

QUOTE(Infoboy @ Wed 18th July 2007, 2:40pm) Victor_Frankenstein was a mad scientist in Geneva, but I don't know if he was Jewish. (Probably not...) All this speculation on Jayjg's identity is a bit silly, really. I mean, sure, if he's got all these fancy powers and so on, then the proper thing for him to do would be to identify himself, so as to end the speculation. But what if it turns out he's exactly what he says he is? Wouldn't we be, like, really disappointed and stuff?

QUOTE 2) Jayjg is reminded to avoid generating drama by making public proclamations of misbehavior before attempting private discussion and resolution of the issue. Passed 7 to 0, 01:16, 18 July 2007 What's interesting is how that ties in with various comments recently on wikien-l from those on the "clique" side, to the effect that "drama" is the most unspeakably evil thing that could happen on Wikipedia or its related forums and lists... it's supposed to be a dull, boring encyclopedia, after all. It provides the latest in the ever-changing array of justifications for suppressing so-called "attack sites"... now what's wrong with them is that they "generate drama". This ruling fits right in. I can almost see the wheels turning in the minds of the cliqueistas... they've decided that it's politically necessary to give Jayjg at least a slap on the wrist... with a light feather, of course, since he's One Of Them and must not be seriously punished in any way, but there needs to at least be a slight hint that he might just have possibly conceivably done something that somebody might judge to be at least a little off. So they had to decide what "offense" to do this over. Not invasion of privacy, misuse of checkuser tools, unfair scuttling of an RfA... Ah... here's the thing: "generating drama". The beauty of it is that it creates a citable quote from ArbCom that might have utility in the future as a bludgeon by the clique against its enemies, like various past ArbCom rulings that have been treated as "policy" when it suits the needs of the clique. Now, whenever anybody expresses too many uppity opinions that the clique dislikes, and seems to be starting to rally some support, they'll be hit with "The ArbCom has determined that generating drama is against the policy and best interests of Wikipedia... so cut it out!"
