There is no major problem. Get rid of Grims little "misconduct tracker" templates, and just weigh up each case as it appears. It's entirely appropriate for sysops to "bend the rules" within the guidelines, and such actions can be ruled not misconduct due to point two in the general conduct section of the guidelines which says that "should the exact wording of the policies run contrary to a system operators' best good-faith judgment and/or the spirit of the policies, the exact wording may be ignored". Such cases should be ruled upon on a case by case basis, and seldom is anything more than a "dressing down" needed. If actions by a sysop disturb other, regular users ability to edit the wiki, without them going through the proper channels, then it is appropriate that they are ruled against on A/M, and if they make a habit of hampering other users use of the wiki by such actions, then it should be expected that the rulings against them increase in severity also -- boxy talk • teh rulz 15:38 15 October 2008 (BST)
