The response of Chrislk02 to betacommands username blocks

[edit]

When concerns were highlighted of more blocking issues with Betacommand, Chrislk02 (talk · contribs) looked further into these and uncovered futher issues with Betacommands username blocks which were not highlighted in Beta's Rfc. Upon seeing these, instead of simply unblocking these usernames, he requested community input by taking them to WP:RFCN [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9] (most of which have nowbeen unblocked). Chrislk02 then went ahead to alert the wider community of these issues by requesting comment on this issue at WP:AN/I. At no time did chris suggest that Betacommand should be blocked for these issues, and he even went ahead soon after to clarify that the username issues were from last month and that Betacommand should have been unblocked, he was simply requesting further comments on the issue before he undid another administrators actions. Chrislk02 did at no point misuse his tools, and neither did he suggest that anyone else should misuse theirs, he acted diligently throughout the whole process and thought of the whole community in his actions. An invalid block should not remain on an account, and this is the reason that Chrislk02 acted ashe did.
