What the HELL Happenend???

Wow. All hell broke loose on the site last night. I don't know where to begin!

It all seems to have started on the Admin Noticeboard, where an anon posted a massively naieve request for Rpeh to be allowed back. After a typically rubbish post from Elliot's Bitch, up steps The Great Deceiver himself!

Rpeh then goes on an image cleanup spree, fixing the worst examples of the images SerCenKing uploaded the other day, and - and here's the rub - leaving a post on SerCenKing's talk page. Unfortunately for Rpeh, it linked here!

There then followed just the kind of blatant administrative abuse that has become UESP's stock in trade in recent months. ^CEshe^V deleted the link here (" removing unnecessary link to inflammatory website inappropriate for many of the uesp's users") which, as Rpeh pointed out, is nothing to do with an admin on UESP (or anywhere else). We end up with Elliot's Bitch and Rawtwat the Vicious both removing the link too. The debate moves to EB's talk page (and thence to a sub-page) and briefly on to Rawtwat's talk page.

The whole thing ended with Eshe and Ratwar violating the Blocking policy (again!) by blocking Rpeh for a week, including fully-protecting his talk page.

I'm informed that at this point the debate moved to a private channel in IRC, but I don't know what happened there. Some anon also popped up and started trolling, but I can't be bothered with that.

The point is this: Rawtwat the Vicious is out of control. I've said it before, but the man clearly has no regard for wiki policy and issues blocks whenever he feels like it. It seems now that ^CEshe^V has joined him in doing that. For blatant abuse of administrative powers, both of them need demoting soonest.

And the kicker? SerCenKing didn't mind Rpeh's posts at all. Meanwhile, the site goes into the gutter.
