Thread:Project:Current issues/User:MZMcBride and sysopping of User:Fram/reply (46)

"For perspective, bureaucrats can grant sysop rights ad-hoc on this wiki, without a RfA; one chose to do so, which is how this happened." Well, this is a defacto practice; whether it is the ideal solution of course can be debated. See Special:UserRights/Billinghurst, Special:UserRights/Legoktm, and Special:UserRights/Krenair for examples. (The extra log entry is because Billinghurst accidentally desysopped himself on Meta with steward tools when running a spambot check, and MZMcBride restored the rights).
