SuspectedReplicant
I've infinitely blocked SuspectedReplicant for revealing personal information about me (e.g. here). Sorry if I was overstepping any authority or whatever, but I was a bit upset. I guess the proper procedure is to hold a week-long vote or whatever so everyone can chime in, but is that really appropriate? -- Nx  / talk 13:47, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I think the best thing is a temporary block (a week), and a vote. But everyone gets upset occasionally, and the vote was started within the hour, so no harm done.-- 22:22, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I think a week is very long for a temporary block, & SR should be permitted to comment in eir defence if ey wishes to, before any action is finalised. 23:04, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
 * You're right, I don't know what I was thinking! Sorry, more like an hour or two for a temp block!-- 23:05, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
 * (EC) I think the circumstances were such that SR has forfeited the right to present his defence in person. I advised him to email a mod and his comments would be posted and attributed to him by that mod (if they were free of that personal information). 23:07, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
 * SR knows how to get in touch with me. I will post whatever he wishes. While I can't advocate for him personally, I do advocate fairness and being circumspect. 23:14, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Did he repost Nx's name repeatedly over a period of days or just a couple of hours? If it's the latter, I think he should be unblocked & allowed to comment onsite, on the proviso that he gets blocked immediately if he starts up the same thing.  If it was a recurring thing over days, I guess it's more likely he would persist & could be kept blocked as a precaution.  23:17, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
 * It was over the course of one day, so you may have a point there. He also went to CP and RWW, which furthered concerns. 23:20, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I've seen the diffs. How do you propose to prove that was him and not one of our resident troublemakers? If their conduct is indistinguishable we should start a witchhunt immediately. 23:31, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I haven't seen the diffs, but I don't think conduct outside RW should be considered unless we have proof. I just mentioned it because the privacy concerns were heightened because of it, not to single out SR. That being said, I would not entirely mind if a mod were to unblock SR until the end of the vote. 23:36, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I've reblocked SR with talk page editing allowed, so he can post to his talk page if he wants to. -- Nx  / talk 08:57, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
