| === Globe's CheckUser Usage Discussion ===
| |
| Hello everyone, I would like to bring light to how apparently Globe uses CheckUser permissions to check other user's information without any actual evidence, just doing CU whenever he feels "suspicious" about someone.
| |
|
| |
| Zippy has told Globe in an internal volunteer channel that: "I don't like that you randomly run checkusers on people who show no behavioral evidence of needing a check with no reason attached."
| |
| For volunteers who has access - go [https://discord.com/channels/1299761391523205273/1494723448482693141/1503881626445152317 here] regarding about the message I am referencing.
| |
|
| |
| This is extremely concerning as PII should be handled securely and can't be done for any reason unless there is probable reason that Cross-Wiki abuse is happening via the usage of multiple user accounts.
| |
|
| |
| I would like Zippy/other uninvolved Stewards to explain more if there is additional details regarding Globe's CU usage and Globe to explain themselves.
| |
|
| |
| I genuinely believe Globe wants all the power to themselves and does not want the best for WikiOasis, as evidenced by him becoming a dictator and attempting to control volunteer's right to hold their opinions, keep the board's ability to appoint roles, and finally apparently doing CU unilaterally on seeming innocent users who has done nothing. Until Globe is completely removed from all volunteer positions, including being a Director of the WikiOasis Foundation Board, I may consider withholding information in respective volunteer channels as I cannot trust Globe since they have started arguments countless times for the dumbest reasons, alongside taking all the power to themselves and apparently doing CU on users with zero evidence and need to use it. --[[User:Fearless|Fearless]] ([[User talk:Fearless|talk]]) 11:48, 23 May 2026 (UTC)

| :This statement is concerning on many levels. {{quote|Apparently Globe uses CheckUser permissions to check other user's information without any actual evidence.}}
| |
| :Is simply not true. I frankly don’t use the CheckUser tool that often, and I’ve made exactly one check in the month of May. Most (90% or more) of my checks originate from the extension SuggestedInvestigations. It flags when multiple users originate from the same IP or user agent, along with a few other things like disposable emails. I don’t really look at user agents or disposable emails as warranting a check, but if I see 5 accounts with similar usernames, editing patterns, and they’re showing up in suggested investigations, yeah, I’m going to make that check. I have forgotten to place a reason in some of my checks (but they can usually be assumed to be “triggered by suggested investigations”), and for that I do apologize, but I am always willing to explain my checks to the steward team as the privacy policy allows.

| |
| :Further,
| |
| :{{quote|becoming a dictator and attempting to control volunteer's right to hold their opinions}}
| |
| :is also untrue. For context, Fearless is upset about me calling multiple statements of his in our public server (or those of Mira/our communities) unacceptable. Some examples:
| |
| :“I already told the stewards that I don't want the IBW to be here from the very start... IBW is just a massive mess and jank that I dislike having to deal with
| |
| :Asking an established wiki community of ours if they had been banned from Mira and why they chose WikiOasis over Miraheze
| |
| :“oasis is basically like a not so great training academy [for mira volunteers] but it works."
| |
| :“I do know so I can make the comment. But WO is in no position to host such a wiki (Italian brainrot wiki]. We have zero manpower."
| |
| :His constant demeaning of the Italian Brainrot Wiki and honestly WO as a whole in both public spaces (and private ones, which I won’t share for his privacy) is concerning. I have no issue with him (or anyone) holding an opinion, but being constantly degrading to people who are working hard on their wiki in public spaces is not the conduct I expect from a volunteer.

| |
| :{{quote|keep the board's ability to appoint roles}}
| |
| :More lies, unfortunately. I was the first to support the motion to allow the community to directly elect stewards, global sysops, and global patrollers. I was definitely initially skeptical, but ever since the first round of votes, I’ve been in support of it because of the great turnout.
