He's apparently determined to consistently dismiss any communications from other editors. I see this as being fundamentally incompatible with a collaborative project. Thus, I recommend an indefinite block until he changes his approach, but as he's a long-time contributor, this probably shouldn't be done lightly. I'm open to other approaches or venues (RFC?) but I'm not sure it would help- he knows exactly what the problem is, and he chooses to continue being unresponsive anyway. I've seen this general issue as an ongoing problem for probably at least a year, but apparently it's getting worse lately. See also ]. I can't think of many realistic options at this point. ] ] 22:00, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
:Well an indefinite block certainly isn't a realistic option, it's somewhat akin to trying to put out a fire with kerosene. ] 22:08, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
::This is a dispute over the user of administrator powers, not editing. The level of concerns has been drawn to his attention increasingly within the past couple of days, and already he has made some adjustments in his behavior, though there is more that needs to change.

:I don't think that an indefinite block is at all neccessary. We usually reserve such measures for people who have solely used their accounts for "trolling" or who are long-term abusers of Misplaced Pages policy with extensive block logs. I think that a reasonable solution to this issue would however be desyopping. From the user's own contributions and admin log he's shown a consistent attitude of not adhering to ]. He has already stated that he has no intention of changing this attitude and attempts to engage him on his talk page have resulted in the user going as far as to delete his talk page in order to remove diffs of these engagements. I think that if this were not an admin user we would have all demanded at least a block long ago.--] 22:14, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

:Seems like overkill to me. ] 22:17, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

I suggest desysopping with the user remaining in good standing. I think a nice rest (no, not an enforced Wikibreak) away from Misplaced Pages is probably a good idea at this time. ] 22:19, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

:These kinds of situations are really why we need a mandatory recall process for all admins. Regardless, I too suggest a voluntary wikibreak and users should just avoid (at least from the time being) responding on this user's talk page.--] 22:23, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

I don't think reporting another administrator at a noticeboard and suggesting an immediate indefinite block is productive at all, and is only likely to produce drama. Such an act of insensitivity would only inflame the situation, and likely drive away a contributor, rather than solve anything. Premature block requests instead of dispute resolution look like nothing more than drama-seeking, and are likely to drown out the legitimate concerns at hand. I suggest this thread be archived to prevent that outcome, and the people involved pursue a constructive line of discourse instead. ]·] 22:34, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

:Yes, please close this thread. If dialogue with Jeffrey doesn't result in a positive outcome, then start an RfC. The suggestion of an indef block is premature. ] (]) 22:42, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

'''Problem'''
Rex has a history of being disruptive. ] is an arbitration case involving Rex. If you look at ] part of the arbitration case, you'll see that he has 6 blocks since his ] has started. He has 1 block during the this case. He continues to exhausts the Misplaced Pages community. ] and ] are two examples of that. If you look at his ] and his ], he clearly goes against this ]. Action is clearly needed for this guy.

'''Solution'''
*Permanent block

Wow, that was "kurzer Prozeß". Here's what I wanted to write in the meantime: I have a much longer history with Rex than Kingjeff does, and I'm also a little surprised that this here is the fourth initiative of Kingjeff vs. Rex within a week or so, with the other two still going on, with me trying to provide some input from the top of my head. Thus I recommend to put this request here on hold or to reject the case for now. Kingjeff (and I, and others) have to learn first about the proper procedures and ways to present such a case with more patience and thorough preparation. Yet, I am convinced that someone somewhere will angrily call for a block of Rex again sooner or later, though, as Rex has made himself many enemies, and will continue to make new ones, there is few doubt. --&nbsp;]&nbsp;]&nbsp;&nbsp;]&nbsp; &nbsp; 17:46, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

:See my remarks . ] 17:48, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

I have likewise a long history with Rex. This is a problem user, but not one that should be banned without going through rfar. If he continues in his present vein, he will end up with a longish block, but this is not a case of blatant abuse or one requiring instant action. His blocks will increase in length as probation continues, until or unless he learns his lesson. There is no need to short-circuit this process. ] <small>]</small> 18:11, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
:I wonder if this entire fuss could go for libel. Because That Kingjeff tries to list my name on nearly every Wiki noticeboard there is. If anyone is seriously thinking about undergoing action note that User:Matthead is the real problem user, and a history to show for it. His anti Polish and anti Dutch attitude speak for themself.] 18:22, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
::Also, for your information. And this I swear with my hand on my heart, I do not make or seek enemies as allegated here, they find me, and when they get in the way of wikipedia being or continueing to be reliable, then problems arise. ] 18:23, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

I am not at all happy being drawn into this by Kingjeff through a post on my user page. I feel strongly for putting some restrictions on his canvassing as proposed above.
For the rest, indeed I have encountered Rex, and IMHO he is stubborn and tends to overreact on German (nationalist) issues. It is however more often the aggressive/stubborn form of his editing rather than the ideas that he is adding that lands him in problems. While Rex makes enemies this way, and is not always as constructive as possible this is hardly a reason for a permanent block. Actually proposing such a block and posting this discussion seems like a directed effort to demonise an editor by the original poster (KingJeff) of this discussion. ] 18:25, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

:Bringing in Arnoutf is just another instance of canvassing/forum shopping/]. On a side note, I have interacted with Rex G when we were both more or less newbie editors (solved a conflict via MSN chat) and based on that experience I agree with everything Arnoutf is saying above. (I could hardly miss this situation since I have a number of noticeboards on my watchlist). ] 18:35, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

===Sanction Kingjeff instead===
Looking at Kingjeff's block log, one has to wonder ... is it time for community sanctions on Kingjeff? Five 3RR blocks, two harassment blocks ... from my perspective as an uninvolved user, the only answer can be yes. I propose that he be given a one-month ban, and be placed on indefinite revert parole. Thoughts?]] 18:46, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
:My only thought on the matter is that he's already currently blocked. There's no harm in seeing how he behaves once that block expires. If he causes more problems, ''then'' we can worry about it. But there's really no need to concern ourselves with too many 'what-if's. :) ] 18:48, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
::I just think that when you've racked up five 3RR blocks and three blocks for disruption/harassment, it's time for stronger measures. ]] 19:00, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
:::I'd rather not go there for the moment. There seems to be agreement that Rex can sometimes be a problem but that these problems don't warrant blocking at the present time. Kingjeff should be pointed to ] if he wants to take action against Rex. ] 19:10, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
::::Also, he (Kingjeff) says he's left. Bit pointless sanctioning someone who's both blocked and quit. ''Nil de mortuis'' etc. ] <sup> ]</sup> 19:23, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

==]==

This arbitration case has closed and the final decision is available at the link above. The parties to the case are strongly encouraged to enter into mediation arrangements regarding any disputes over article content that may still be outstanding. All parties are reminded in the strongest possible terms that Misplaced Pages is an encyclopedia and not a forum for conspiracy, personal attacks, nor the continuation of ethnic disputes by other means. "Parties who continue such behaviour, and parties who consider it their moral duty to call out such behaviour, will be hit on the head with sticks until the situation improves."

{{user|Rama's Arrow}} is desysopped, but is welcome to apply for reinstatement at RfA at any time. As always, administrators should not use their administrative powers in conflicts or disagreements they are involved in. Administrators who are parties to this case are reminded that they should find an uninvolved admin to determine if blocks or other actions against any other parties to the case are appropriate, and should under no circumstances take such actions themselves. Any party that violates the ban on admin actions imposed in this case will be summarily desysopped once the violation is brought to the attention of the Arbitration Committee.

This notice is given by a clerk on behalf of the Arbitration Committee. ] 15:50, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
:A long story which has come to an end? I hope the parties would understand how hard that was for everyone. -- ] - <small>]</small> 16:17, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

I've about had it with this fellow. I blocked him a while back for 9RR. At the time I left him a big message about needing to watch his step in future. Clearly, he did not pay attention, because he's just been blocked , and his block log is very lengthy, nearly all composed of 3RR blocks. He is clearly not getting it.

Therefore, I suggest that as a community we place TJ Spyke on revert parole. He is limited to one revert per page per week, excepting obvious vandalism. Further, he is required to discuss any content reversions on the page's talk page. If he violates this, he may be blocked for any length of time up to a week. After three such blocks, the next block length may be indefinite. ] <sup> ]</sup> 17:14, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

    This was the community sanction noticeboard. This forum was previously used for the discussion of community bans, prior to consensus at Misplaced Pages:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Community sanction noticeboard (second nomination) that another venue would be better.

    Though the history is retained so that previous cases may be referenced, new issues should be raised at Administrators' noticeboard (for new ban discussions or other long discussions) or Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents (for more specific incidents relating to previous sanctions).
