I said it was power abuse, because the user who opposed said we should just ban people for removing one thread from view. That's just needless and creates a feeling of censorship, not something this site needs in any form.

Blocking people should only be done if they're actively vandalising articles or repeatedly causing disruption in the forums: one or two acts of hiding posts and threads is not disruptive or even close to vandalism, hence it would be an abuse of someone's ability to go and block that user.

Now if they were doing it with the intent to disrupt the forums (eg: User:Yu-Narukami), then I wouldn't care: but blocking for just mere removals that aren't intended to be disruptive IS an abuse of a persons ability to block users. That's like Dantman blocking me on the wiki just for making one mistaken revert, or Snapper2 blocking me, just because he doesn't like the opinions or counter-arguments I make in consensus threads like this.

The user who I referenced in my OP was not attempting to disrupt anything on this site, nor was his actions malicious and yet you think it's not an abuse of power to go and block him for something he wasn't even aware was against the rules?
