Local blocks
Hi BertH, I'm an administrator here and I just want to clarify some things here, in regards to the local (and apparently global) blocks you just issued. While I'm not opposed to blocking troublemakers, whether that be locally or globally, local blocks are the local administration's jurisdiction and it's quite troublesome that staff choose to encroach on that&mdash;especially when our view towards staff action should be well known. Now, I'm understanding that these local blocks were issued to notify the users in question seeing as global blocks don't show up in logs, but I still would appreciate if there was some communication from staff before these kinds of actions are taken. Especially when a senior Wookieepedian with 33,000 edits is blocked for "disruption and trolling" despite zero apparent disruptive wiki edits or discussions posts, it raises some questions among the admin team. I don't know what's going on behind the scenes in Discussions, but I would hope that the local administration is at least informed if staff chooses to issue local blocks. I hope you can see where I'm coming from here&mdash;communication is imperative. If you would like to discuss this, my talk page/IRC/Discord are all available.
