Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive329#ANI reform proposal. Interesting conversation in context of UCoC Enforcement. Freeform vs structured, dysfuntional vs not broken, ... but note especially the mention of a band-gap between ANI and ArbCom. (08:21 Sun 21, AEST)

Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Desysop Policy (2021). This may actually get up.

"Unfortunately, I don't have a good idea at the moment. Much depends on how events unfold. I did not breed this sizeable frog and I sincerely hope that it will not be me who will eventually swallow it, or kiss it, hoping it will turn into a lovely princess." March Man, [1]

“Of course at some point a user will make a mistake or lose their cool and say something out of order. Happens to all of us. The last thing we want is some hateful goblin sitting on our shoulder gleefully waiting for the moment when we slip up. Without the liberation to make mistakes now and again and be forgiven, we can't build the confidence we need to be bold and work in a dedicated fashion to make useful articles.” SilkTork 17:24, 6 January 2021 (UTC) [9]

Gawker

[edit]

So that's what happened to Gawker? Sued by Hulk Hogan and others backed by some billionaire Peter Thiel? Bought by Univision in 20116 to form Gizmodo Group, which has now been resold.
