Wrong Plato. At least in theory.

In theory, the community makes policy. Individual sysops enforce it in short-term, no-brainer cases, the Arb committee enforces it in more complicated cases, and Jimbo steps in and says "whoa" when any of the above screw up royally.

Unfortunately, I don't see a lot of *any* of that going on in practice. Just in theory.

No rick, NO. Jimbo and the Arb commitee make policy not the indivdual sysop.
