The whole "less red tape" section is a simple tack on to an unrelated policy. GTFO and put those that arn't already covered (sysops are free to move pages and warn users in the way you describe already) up for voting, individually, on scheduled deletions/protections -- boxy talk • teh rulz 16:03 15 October 2008 (BST)
One key problem with this (although I agree that sysops should be polite) is that the current crop of sysops have not been voted in by the community. They were voted in by the community of 2-3 years ago. Who voted in The General, for example? It wasn't me. Who voted in Nubis? Not me. Who voted in Conn? Not me. For that reason, the foundation language of this policy is untrue. They are not any kind of paragons of the wiki. They are, generally, old-hands from a bygone era who should all be re-evaluated by the current community. Maybe then, this policy would make sense in context. --Funt Solo QT

Ok, I'm going to brace for some sort of comment to come along and shut me down, but here goes anyway... Is this policy even necessary? I think sysops don't have to be polite, it's all up to them. Some do a better job by being an ass and others maybe are just simply mean. As long as they are not flaming people constantly, or attacking someone personally for no reason, or breaking the rules I say let them act how they wish. As for the Less Red Tape part, I've never actually seen an instance where filling out the report to do those actions was such a stress. We don't have quite as much red tape as people seem to think and if we enabled those powers they could be a huge issue with causing accidental deletions/protections and general confusion between users and the sysops. Just my opinion on stuff.--SirArgo Talk 19:29, 15 October 2008 (BST)
