You people all suck, with your even more slightly less pathetic "de-op <insert admin>" proposals.

Against. The obvious flaw is that once bureaucrat group is added, it cannot be removed by anyone except the bureaucrat you're trying to remove it from. I can hardly see them doing it themselves. --

- Damn, you've spotted the flaw. Well, in fact, there is another way. Somebody would have to bribe Sarahdopp, since, as far as I understand Special:ListGroupRights, she(?) is the only one who could do it. Schamschi, 09:51, May 18, 2011 (UTC)
- EBIL WIKIA staff could do the de-opping, so it wouldn't be as problem. --Mn-z 00:13, May 19, 2011 (UTC)
- Really? Where does it say so? The only right of staff members that looks to me as if it could have something to with it is "batchuserrights", and there is no explanation what that means. I would also have thought that staff members could de-crat crats, but the only group I can find where that right is explicitly mentioned is "Helpers". Schamschi, 00:30, May 19, 2011 (UTC)
- "batchuserrights" is probably what gives the power to change user rights. I believe they are the only ones who can give bot flags, and I'm sure they can de-crat. They can also change what the user rights levels can do, for example, non-autocomfirmed users lost the power to move pages about a year ago. --Mn-z 01:00, May 19, 2011 (UTC)
- "Batchuserrights" is one of the eleven German words for "sneeze". "Batchuserrights" is one hard enough that you poop. Not too much. That would be "batchuserrightsbunchen". True story. Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 08:03, May 19, 2011 (UTC)
