:# The link is to Rd232's block log, which reflects three instances in which Rd232 blocked his own account to enforce a wikibreak (the last of these instances having been motivated, at least in part, by his dissatisfaction with the community's handling of MickMacNee). While self-blocks and wikibreak-enforcement blocks are not supported by policy, they are hardly a serious threat to the project, nor do I think they reflect use of the block button as a "toy." Rd232 has been an editor since 2004 and an administrator since 2005, has a strong record of positive contributions to the project, and through his input on the workshop page in this case has more than convinced me that he remains an asset as an administrator. I do not feel that it is necessary or helpful to criticize him in this decision; but for the happenstance that MickMacNee was before us, this situation would probably not have even warranted our discussing it. If we desire to address this subject in this decision, a principle reminding administrators that self-blocks are deprecated would, in my view, be sufficient.
