User blog:JCM/Concerning the rights of Ponyo Fan

Back in early August, Ponyo Fan was given a month-long Wikia-wide block for her actions in connection with a trolling organization. While I asked that the other members of that group lose their bureaucrat rights, I made no such request for Ponyo, because she was respected by many of our users, including me, as a veteran bureaucrat, and we were convinced that what she did was just a one-time thing.

After over a month of Ponyo being unblocked, she's shown us that it wasn't a one-time thing. Her constant use of R-rated language on the chat and sexual provocation demonstrates a lack of respect for the wiki's rules and has caused more than one user to threaten to leave the site altogether.

But the final straw for me was yesterday's prank, where Ponyo put up a notice on the main page saying that the wiki would be closing, which caused a bunch of unnecessary havoc and got Ponyo globally banned (again), this time until January.

What Ponyo did yesterday, and what she's been doing for the past month, are not the things that a responsible admin should be doing, and for that reason, I'm proposing that her bureaucrat rights be taken away to bring the wiki back to a place of stability and to show that her behavior is not the kind that we will tolerate.
