"Without further review" is unclear to me - you mean that the
desysopping takes place immediately (sounds ok), or that there is no
potential for review of this action afterwards (sounds like trouble).

Sounds unnecessarily harsh. Maybe first-time offence warrants a one
week a suspension, then subsequent offences give the treatment you
suggest?

Any chance of sysop suspensions for blatant breaches of policy? Eg,
protecting pages you're working on, blocking users for personal
disagreement, etc...
