(unindent) True, although that also diminishes the "promotion" aspect of sysopship, as almost everyone on this site is one. The use of "demotion" thus also serves to remind us that being a sysop is no big deal, unlike, say, Wikipedia. In regards to my above comment, I was thinking more along the lines of avoiding "my opinion is worth more because I'm a sysop"-type incidents with newbie/anon editors.

Please stop it[edit]
While in the middle of editing today, I have been vandal-binned twice (the second time immediately after I paroled myself) and blocked once twice by you. (The only explanation given was "Quit it" and "Unfunny vandalism".) The first time I let it pass as a harmless joke, but three four consecutive times is going too far.
Now would you please stop it? I'm trying to edit here, and I do not appreciate being hindered for no apparent reason. Radioactive afikomen Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments. 19:14, 9 February 2009 (EST)
Just sayin'...[edit]
Hey Mei, I noticed that you blocked RA for 3141 seconds. In general, a 314 second block is taken as a fun one, but the 3141 second block is reserved for cases of wandalism, and we generally try to steer away from using that option (and the ones under it) unless we need to. This is probabally a mistake born out of not knowing, but I am just pointing it out to you. ĵ₳¥ášÇ♠ʘ my sig is my own opiate!
Promotion[edit]
It looks to me, from the above series of comments, that this user really wasn't ready to handle the extra buttons. P. Hoover, how would you feel about reversing your earlier action? Any other opinions? Was "Mei" just "testing" them, or were they abusing them? Thanks, ħuman 19:49, 9 February 2009 (EST)
