:Since the use of some verbs by some users actually categorizes people or their work, the worst of these confusions is that between [[trolls]] and the (many) [[IP block]]s generated to slow them down: sometimes [[sysop power structure]] cannot actually tell the difference between the initial action ("to [[troll]]"), the [[Sysop Vandal point of view|opinion or process that leads to the sysop reaction]], the output of that action, e.g. an [[IP range block]], and the implication of what it means to edit from that IP ("to be [[trolled]]", etc.). These are all obviously quite different things, but it makes [[power grab]]s easier to deliberately confuse them. One could explain the confusion asa form of simple [[stupidity]]. However it could also be explained as a form of [[objectification]] or as a consequence of, say, [[Wikimedia corruption]] - these explanations would make sysops out to be more [[vile]] but less stupid. | :Since the use of some verbs by some users actually categorizes people or their work, the worst of these confusions is that between [[trolls]] and the (many) [[IP block]]s generated to slow them down: sometimes [[sysop power structure]] cannot actually tell the difference between the initial action ("to [[troll]]"), the [[Sysop Vandal point of view|opinion or process that leads to the sysop reaction]], the output of that action, e.g. an [[IP range block]], and the implication of what it means to edit from that IP ("to be [[trolled]]", etc.).

More generalized verbs like [[ask]], [[fix]], [[revert]], [[drive off]] and [[patroll]] are quite possible given a more complete understanding of the [[power structure]]. This would however be a [[social network]] design problem not a [[GUI]] one - it would involve much more understanding of some [[factionally defined]] terms and how [[faction]]s decide to collaborate to accomplish any given objective. | |||
