I vote against
It is not one admin who should decide that
The community should
In case of urgency, there should be a poll, and if say 80% agree, the
guy is temp banned by a sysop
A sysop is not there to take decision for the rest of the community, he
is there at the service of the community. If the community widely wishes
a temp ban, a sysop will appropriately act as the community wishes.
If a sysop is allowed to unilateraly, temporarily ban of user, free of
any later accusation, I ask that
* from now on, no person is made sysop with less than 100% agreement
from the community
* that any sysop time is temporary, let's say 6 months. After 6 months,
the sysop should be reconfirmed. If any user oppose a vote to his
nomination, he should not be a sysop any more.
The sysop voice should not hold more weight than another user voice. The
sysop position does not allow to take decisions unilateraly. The sysop
is not a cop, allowed to pull out a gun whenever he feels like it, and
get out of it free.

How many people want admins to have the Authority to temp-ban any user
who (in their opinion) has violated a community rule? (Confession: This
is precisely what I did myself with Wik a couple of weeks ago, so there
is, er, "blood on my hands").
How many people want to decisions on banning (except for clear-cut
"simple vandalism" or "emergencies") to be handled Only By The
Arbitration Committee?
1. Please clarify whether you agree that these are the two alternatives.
2. Please indicate which alternative you want.
If enough of us on the mailing list have strong feelings about this, I
will create a policy polling page on the English Wikipedia, and we
cansee if a consensus develops that merits a change in policy.

P.S. I'm trying to be impartial about this, even though I have an
opinion.
