[http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wikien-l/2004-February/010712.html Sysop vigilantiism] is the process equivalent of [[sysop vandalism]]. As sysop vandalism degrades the material using the [[sysop power structure]]'s bias, '''sysop vigilantiism''' degrades the trust in that structure itself. It is a major problem at [[Wikipedia]]. The term was actually coined by Wikipedia's [[GodKing]], "Jimbo" Wales. " I am not aware of any discussion which has reached a rough consensus in favour of allowing [[sysop]]s to block "obvious [[trolls]]". Rather, it appears to me that some sysops have decided amongst themselves to act as "vigilantees"." - [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/JRR_Trollkien Martin Harper] See also the more serious [[developer vigilantiism]].
