• It's all very simple. Not taking an administrative action is considered an action. Therefore, before taking any administrative action (including taking an action that is not an action), you should consult with all the administrators who did not take action.

• It could be simpler even if people would talk to a user before reporting the one to enforcement, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:54, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

• It seems that Gerda Arendt is the type of editor who always places a higher priority on kindness, communication and one-on-one dispute resolution before frequent ANI complaints and quick application of the block hammer. We would be better off with more active editors sharing those attitudes of hers. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 06:33, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
• @Gerda Arendt: I concur with your thinking. Too much block first, talk second these days,. Should be talk first and then block (the latter being only if disruption persists after discussing the issue(s) properly). Sportsguy17 (T • C) 03:19, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
