Hey Itty - a good staff member would consult other staff members before reporting users to FANDOM and banning several, over issues that were known. It really wasn't cool reporting users to FANDOM and banning them without

1. Thinking for a second and realizing that the offenses were done before the rules prohibiting them were explicitly stated. This allowed the users to find a loophole which they sadly exploited. You can use the "common sense" thing all you want, but it doesn't change the fact that at the time, there was a loophole exploited - the "admins/staff can bypass some rules", coupled with the fact that people dislike vandals and pasta believers. If you want, we can go and punish France for atrocities committed in the past like torture. Or we could go on and make the US pay sanctions for stuff that they did to the Indians a long time ago. Or we could prosecute literally any country for vile shit it did in the past, back when the stuff it did was legal. The possibilities with this type of "backwards justice" are endless!

2. Permission and insight from the general community before reporting high-ranked users to Fandom. It's a drastic step, and some major community consensus is always great.

Now for your points.

1. We could also apply this to the pasta believers and others who you unbanned without asking for permission from the original user who banned them. I'm sure you don't want that, right?

2. We could also do this for every user about to be unbanned, ever. To be unbanned, the person who advocates for the unban needs permission from 3+ other admins. The reason we don't do that because we trust the admins/bureaucrats to act on their best judgement. We trust you the same way, and we trust the others the same way. When you reported users to Fandom without permission to avenge some people from 8 months ago, you acted on your best judgement. Unfortunately, judgement is sometimes wrong.

I know that you probably want to stir up a controversy around the userpage vandalism so you can be the hero of the story, but don't worry, many people do that. It's fine, it really is.
