Unblock redux

(e/c'd with your removal, but I did all that typing...)

Dreadstar, it doesn't matter whether you think it was a bad block. AE discretionary sanctions are written in a way that clearly outlines the avenues for appealing a block fot all editors. It clearly excludes the ability of other admins to decide on their own whether to reverse a sanction. I would strongly urge you to reblock and instead argue your position at the AE noticeboard. The relevant wording and wiki-history suggest you've made a mistake here, can you think about it one more time? Franamax (talk) 03:49, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
I think a reasonable course of action would be to re-block, for procedures sake, and then ask Sandstein to unblock, while posting to WP:AE for discussion. If ArbCom sanction blocks are that difficult to appeal, then they should have to be discussed first--or go through a more significant lead-up than a 2 hour warning with a block given before that period is up. If Ludwigs strikes that comment, then I think it will work out as if the 2 hour warning had been heeded and no block would have been needed anyway. Ocaasi (talk) 04:10, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
