'''Developer vigilantiism''' is the more serious form of [[sysop vigilantiism]] arising when someone with [[developer]] access "accidentally (or maliciously) abuse the developer powers (ie, installing a stealth block against someone they didn't like, altering edit histories without an audit trace, etc). [Here I use "developer" to refer to people actually maintaining the software and server.]" -- [http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Developer_Access Brion VIBBER 04:17, 27 Mar 2004] This form of [[technological escalation]] has been a serious problem at [[Wikipedia]] (due mostly to [[Tim Starling]]) and [[Consumerpedia]] (due to [[User:DanKeshet|DanKeshet]]). Accordingly, neither of these people should be allowed to play any role whatsoever in the [[Consumerium Governance Organization]].
