Findings[edit | edit source]
We have attemepted to link to as much public evidence as possible but unfortunately some evidence will remain private.
- Examknow has incorrectly declined wiki requests.
- Examknow has acted in an overly blunt manner towards users including when declining wiki requests.
-
- Special:RequestWikiQueue/9547 (same as above in decline reason as wiki request was duplicate)
- Special:RequestWikiQueue/9548 (see above note)
- Special:RequestWikiQueue/9549 (see above note)
-
- Examknow has mislead users due to overstating his knowledge and ability to be active as well as other lies.
- We found that when questioned by us, Examknow made statements that are likely to not be full truth and sent investigators round in circles regarding whether logs existed.
- We found that he made this edit where he changed a visible template to be incorrect and effectively policy without discussion.
- This diff shows that he claims he wants to be a sysadmin but is not clear on our protocol that has stood for a while.
- These diffs shows that despite being experienced with mediawiki he lacks knowledge on the use of a signature and pings.
- At his wiki creator request, following this comment, where he had already claimed he would be active, he became inactive for the remainder of the request and a period after totalling over 3 weeks.
- Examknow has likely broke the Code of Conduct while using a Miraheze Cloak on IRC and is therefore reffered additionally to the Code of Conduct Commission.
- IRC discussions that remain private show he could have violated in channels the Miraheze Code of Conduct and acted in an immature manner.
- Examknow's actions may have brought Miraheze into disrepute and/or discouraged users from participating as during first interactions they may have faced unnecessary rudeness and challenges.
- Based mainly on points 1-3.
- Examknow has been evasive to questions on occasion.
- Answers to some questions asked took a long time to arrive and did not answer full questions. Also, when asked multiple times about how his bot works when requesting it in ##miraheze he has never answered us.
- Examknow likely lacks the required competency for roles he holds and has requested.
- Shown in points 1 and 3
- An interviewed simple wiki administrator said he would have not given Examknow the patroller and rollback rights due to CIR issues.
- This shows that he is not following instructions when told and does not have the competency to check on why Phabricator failed.
- Examknow has engaged in hat collecting.
- He has when told to wait requested permission and his sysadmin access request was significantly way ahead of when it should be.
- The interviewed simple wiki administrator also said he believed Examknow engaged in hat collecting.
