Agree with your concerns about inexperienced admins.
The point of this
policy is to make sure that more experienced admins get involved by
requiring discussion on AN or AN/I. Some ideas for community sanctions have
been dismissed when presented. Currently blocks and user talk page
protection are used with little oversight by more experienced admins to try
and deal with problems. I see this as the community having another less
rigid and brutal tool than exhaust the patience bans, cool off blocks, talk
page protection.
You say that "some ideas for community sanctions have been dismissed
when presented". Well, yes, I think they still should be. Any
arrangements like this should be on a strictly one-to-one basis, not
imposed down by some consensus of the community. Any other method
will not work.
I also strongly disagree with issuing more process for admins to
follow when they are using their initiative.
