what percentage of blocks/bans by Crum375, including the latest temp block against an IP for an extremely minor annoyance, are to editors who are in direct editorial conflict with SlimVirgin?

Percentage, not totals, please! ;-)

What I find odd is that this punishment is toothless. She gets the bit back after six months without having to re-run for adminship. Other admins running afoul of arbcom are stripped of their epaulets a-la Lieutenant Dreyfuss and are forced to either re-run or gain approval through Arbcom.

Why does she warrant special consideration, for her hard work writing partisan animal liberation articles?

Temporary desysopings have occurred before, are likely to occur as ArbCom looks to punish rather than rehabilitate. Gustafson got a temporary desysop, I am sure there have been others.

We are to suppose that temp-blocks are not punative but temp desysoppings are? hmmm.gif

The really proper thing to do with SlimVirgin would be to not desysop her for any timed length, but simply remove her bit and tell her she can initiate a new RfA any time she likes. And good luck.

And if she perennially fails to make it, that would be sort of like a "community desysopping," would it not? Kind of like what all those Kabbalistas suggested had happened (and continues to happen) to perennially pissed-on Everyking.

Of course, they'll never set it up this way for Slim to be retooled, because they know very well what would happen. It would indeed be a cold day in hell before she got the bit back, THAT way.

Now, I see the counterargument coming: that any longtime active administrator builds up enough skeletons and grudges that re-bitting by poll, would be impossible. But that's wrong. Any good amin should be building up goodwill even faster. In the last ArbCom election, plenty of active and longtime administrators were elected with high % of supports. That's proof if can happen. It's not possible for many of the admins we mock here are WR, perhaps, but it should be possible for many good ones.

Has anyone ever successfully regained adminship after having it removed by the Committee?

Yes, although, for different reasons, the two cases (Guanaco and Carnildo) are kind of the exceptions that prove the rule.
