Thread:Project:Current issues/User:MZMcBride and sysopping of User:Fram/reply (93)

It seems like a particular odd way to become an Admin, like a Bishop laying hands on a priest and, Boom!, they become a Bishop.

Don't Editors become Admins on this wiki through consensus? Isn't it inappropriate to give a user tools to use while they are blocked?

Despite Fram's insistence that he won't use tools, he also never asked to become an Admin. So, I can't figure out why MZMcBride took it on himself to grant him this status while there was a heated discussion going on on his Talk Page about whether or not his behavior warranted a block. The timing of this decision is bizarre, it's almost like From was being reprimanded and given a reward at the same time.
