::::::::: '''Concur completely.''' [[TestWiki:Bureaucrats|Bureaucrat]] should require a [[TestWiki:Consuls|Consul]] to grant, given the level of trust required for that role. {{ping|TrustedInstaller}}, you can re-apply at [[TestWiki:Request permissions]] for [[TestWiki:Administrators|administrator]] on or after '''20 August 2020'''.

:::::::::: I've just seen this and TI is right here. A 6 month block would not have been appropriate had it not been an open proxy. That situation does seem to be resolved bar some blacklists caching it. Revoking sysop rights for unblocking someone when the situation is resolved is not an appropriate reason to revoke. If TrustedInstaller wishes to gain his rights back, I see no reason why not. The only thing I'm wondering is how he knew to go straight for that block to remove.

::::::::::: To add to my discussion on [[meta:Discord|Discord]], my reason for revoking the rights wasn't simply because TrustedInstaller unblocked an IP address, but it was the fact that he focused on ''that'' particular IP address used, presumably, by an LTA that Naleksuh monitors over on the Wikimedia projects or other wikis. Perhaps I should've questioned the original block of the IP, but it seemed consistent the block length used by [[meta:Stewards|stewards]] when blocking anonymous users for LTA and related issues, so simply opted to defer to you on that when you reviewed the block logs for TestWiki. Because of that, I was concerned that TrustedInstaller may continue with unblocking further LTAs, so removed the rights, at least in the short-term, in order for the user to provide a satisfactory explanation for the removal of that block and also why one of the user's ''first'' actions was to unblock ''that'' IP address, which didn't jive with the reason for requesting rights (i.e., "to test the MediaWiki interface") at [[TestWiki:Request permissions]]. I agree, though, I should've been more ''direct'' with TrustedInstaller in, and better articulated, my concerns. In fairness, I ''did'' hesitate on placing a two-week moratorium for re-requesting [[TestWiki:Administrators|administrator]], but since you're satisfied, I see no problem with TrustedInstaller re-requesting that right immediately, with either a strong recommendation that they test the other administrator tools (since they seem to be familiar with blocking/unblocking IP addresses).
