Thread:Project:Current issues/User:MZMcBride and sysopping of User:Fram/reply (28)

Personally, I'd like at least sysop flag changes to be briefly discussed (even just for few hours) or notified after-the-fact on a RfA subpage, so that comments like this by Jasper Deng can take place there; however, this is not policy or even guideline as far as I know (didn't check) so we can't blame the bureaucrat. To the contrary, I didn't like to know of this complaint from Meta: in absence of such a local page, questions should have been asked on the bureaucrat's talk page.

On the merits: I've only seen Fram's name in some self-reverted edits of the last few days on pages I watch, but I see he or she is a 2005 user, presumably sysop since a few years ago, with a clear block log and no flamewars on their talkpage than I can find in less than a minute (I only see a talk peak in November). Considering that we have plenty of local sysops without any experience of the tools usage, 40 sysops without less than 10 actions ever and 67 without edits in the last month, I'm having some problems convincing myself that I should be bothered by this specific flagging (and I'm trying).

This said, I don't really like anyone getting sysop flag on this wiki with less than, say, a couple hundred edits to show experience with the local customs and/or a specific need, so I'd appreciate if Fram could clarify if the flag is actually wanted and roughly why. I read above "I don't plan to take any admin actions here in the foreseeable future"; but of course 1) log actions are not the only reason to have a flag and 2) experienced sysops typically end up getting some experience editing etc. and then helping a bit on any wiki they have the flag on, as byproduct: both things that should make us happy, for the good of this wiki and the activity happening on it.
