Rlevse is talking about taking away Ryulong's rollback privilege for 6 months. Oh, the inhumanity! Is there no revenge too great! It's cruel. It's unusual. It's really..... wierd.

Speaking of weirdnesses, here is ArbComm Love Potion #9:

Blocking
9) Blocking is a serious matter. Administrators should be exceedingly careful when blocking. Blocking may only be used to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, and not to punish users; that is, blocking is preventative, not punitive. Blocks should be made only if other means --such as warnings-- are not likely to be effective. Even when reversed, blocks that appear arbitrary or capricious, or are based on poor methodology and evidence, have a chilling effect on people's willingness to contribute to Wikipedia.

===================================

If Arbcom does not make policy, what is all the wanking above, about? What is there to "support" or "oppose," if the principle is already written down someplace (which I believe it is) and Arbcom can't change it? Why not just refer to it by title and statute or something? And say they're putting it down because they think it applies to a violation of it by User:NumbNuts, or something. Which I think is actually the point of the above, but I cannot be sure, because it's written in Wikipedian-- a language I'm not fluent in, and which Bablefish won't handle.

It's for comic effect, maybe?.........

But seriously, after reading a lot of crap surrounding Ryu's battles with Mythdon, I'm still
in the dark about what the hell they were doing to each other. This tells me little, except
they were pissing at each other over Power Rangers articles. (What a pathetic thing to
be desysopped over. Ryu deserves a barnstar for Trivia Whoring or something.)

Or in his case, a Barnstar of David for Jewish trivia. But that's okay, WP isn't paper. If he'd really spent all that time beavering away on synogogues, nobody would have noticed. We all have our stampcollections. Yes, I know WP is NOT a stamp collection. Except, it sort of is. Which is okay.

Yes, we do each have our stamp collections, which is one reason why I try not to criticize the editors involved in building the Power Ranger, Kamen Rider, and Pocket Monsters articles. Those articles, though, have a lot of issues. They're often sourced to fansites, which is apparently ok for articles on fictional subjects, but it still looks kind of bush league. I guess, though, until the "Definitive Guide to the Pokeman Universe" gets published in English, that they're stuck with what they have to work with. I'm not sure, however, how Ryulong's heavy-hand on the ban button was related to those articles.
