Thread:Project:Current issues/User:MZMcBride and sysopping of User:Fram/reply (110)

I agree. If someone is offering to help the community, and needs admin rights to do this, then I'm not sure how the community benefits by making them jump through hoops in order to get them. Some users would inevitably be driven away by this, which is a clear negative, and I haven't seen any arguments about what positive benefit this would bring? This is a wiki, after all, so surely in the very rare cases when a newly appointed admin causes problems, we can just de-sysop them and revert their changes, like for any editor who behaves badly.

Why do we need added bureaucracy, and haggling over exactly how many characters of non-white-space data a person has edited? What actual problem are you trying to solve here?

I'm not sure there is a consensus against it either. Why not give Fram the benefit of the doubt?
