And I've been quite busy lately with uni work and mainspace editing (which you'll have seen, no doubt :P), as well as the fact that I don't get very much chance to look at the forums to spot violations, which WindStar7125 has plenty of time to do, so giving him the additional block tools seems like an obvious thing to do. I can understand that, and I believe that he does a great job as a Forum Mod. But my point is that he doesn't need to have highlighting or blocking capabilities as of yet, since those tasks doesn't demand instant attention that he can't just contact someone (like you) for those operations to be done.

Blocking users shouldn't be something done quickly. It should be done after a through analysis of the situation to see if it warrants such a harsh decision, instead of a "slap on the wrist".

Highlighting threads aren't also that demanding when it comes to timing... unless it is an emergency, which I believe will then have a lot of Sysops to highlight something as important, given the high number of Sysops and the actual necessity of said emergency.

I don't know if I'm being very clear, but if I come up with a better explanation, I'll edit this post.

Also keep in mind that by no means I think that Windstar is not capable of making the right decisions (mostly), but my opposition is stronger because I don't think we actually need another Forum Op. as of yet.
