Developer vigilantiism

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.]" -- Brion VIBBER 04:17, 27 Mar 2004
