Removing semi-protected tags when the article is still protected doesn't sound like it's a useful kind of editing. Why would you want to do that?

All I got is this from Jimbo Wales: "Cory,<br> Reoving semi-protected tags when this article or articles is still protected that you're not allowed to do that is against Wikipedia policy.<br> There are reasons:<br> 1. Wikipedians who kept removing semi-protected tags will be banned permanently from interactivity on Wikipedia.<br> 2. If you're firing Brad Patrick (permanently), I'll get Donald Trump, and he'll fire you for bothering him.<br> Wikipedia enforces a zero tolerance policy in regards to wiki vandalism in Wikipedia. There is a possibilty that you will be banned from interactivity on Wikipedia if you continue to vandalize any wiki stuff. If you have questions, mailto:wikispeaker@gmail.com email me. It should be noted that replies to this email will go unanswered and your only course is emailing me!<br> --Jimbo" In fact, they didn't request unbanning, in fact, you could get away with wiki vandalism, right? Then you say, "Oh, shit!"

Also, Jimbo's grammer is better than that. Parts of that email were almost completely incoherent, but I've never had any trouble understanding Jimbo before... Is this a joke by RCT or on RCT?
