User:Timeshifter/Unchecked admin misconduct

See:

There was a long Village Pump discussion about creating an admin misconduct noticeboard. I don't see how any objective reader of that 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.

The Village Pump discussion is useful in that it is a record concerning the scale of the problem. Many people posted and did not reply further. People posted and probably did not read much more than the comments near their post. If people now read the whole discussion it is clear that admin misconduct is a serious problem that is driving away a substantial number of editors.
