  • Comment. Concerning the proposal to create an admin conduct noticeboard. I don't see how any objective reader of that long Village Pump discussion over more than 2 weeks can not see that there are many people who believe that there is a significant problem with unchecked admin misconduct. Even if they are all wrong, a separate admin misconduct noticeboard would go a long way towards addressing the appearance of admin impunity and lack of accountability. I could spend the next few years having individual cases looked at by other admins through many admin talk pages, WP:ANI, etc.. But all that accumulated record of admin stuff would not be in one archive on a separate admin misconduct noticeboard. A total waste of a great record and resource. It would soon become clear that there are other problems too, such as some vague guidelines that invite abuse. So a record of that abuse in a single archive would be necessary to clearly illustrate which guidelines are the most vague, and causing the most problems.
