Forwarding to WIkimedia-l since WikiEN-l is relatively dead. Since this message, an Arbcom member (SilkTork) stated that they weren't consulted, nor did this action was the result of Arbcom forwarding a concern to the office. [1]
The only non-response excuse from the WMF [2] was that "local communities consistently struggle to uphold not just their own autonomous rules but the Terms of Use, too.” even though there were no complaints on-wiki nor to Arbcom privately. The on-wiki discussion is taking place at the Bureaucrats and the Arbcom noticeboards. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Bureaucrats%27_noticeboard#User:Fram_banned_for_1_year_by_WMF_office <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Bureaucrats'_noticeboard#User:Fram_banned_for_1_year_by_WMF_office> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration_Committee/Noticeboard#Request_for_ArbCom_to_comment_publicly_on_Fram's_ban [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration_Committee/Noticeboard&diff=prev&oldid=901300528 <https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration_Committee/Noticeboard&diff=prev&oldid=901300528> [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Bureaucrats%27_noticeboard#Statement_from_the_WMF_Trust_&_Safety_Team Techman224 > Begin forwarded message: > > From: George Herbert <[email protected]> > Subject: [WikiEN-l] Fram en.wp office yearlock block > Date: June 10, 2019 at 8:54:34 PM CDT > To: English Wikipedia <[email protected]> > Reply-To: English Wikipedia <[email protected]> > > In case you're not following on-wiki - Office S&T blocked English Wikipedia > user / administrator Fram for a year and desysopped, for unspecified > reasons in the Office purview.
