I think we need to get back to the issue. All the staff requires, at minimum some ground rules. For one, they actually have to hold up to all all members are equal rule. No more blaming users for misdeeds conducted by mods. If a staff member insults someone, or starts a fight, no more of this "they had it coming" or saying that it has equal blame. Infractions and warnings have to be an absolute last resort. And they have to be discussed first before making one. Bad infractions and warnings, even if they are reverted, are still on someone's record. And this hurts people. This history can, will, and has been used against people in the past. I never, ever deserved any of the warnings or infractions I got. The staff has largely agreed eventually that they were unwarranted, but they were still there on my record and it was used against me, mods and admins have used them to say I have a "history" of getting infractions even though it's not really true. And what about brand new staff members who have NO idea what happened? What about if its forgotten? Then they look at the records and see them in there and use that as a justification to say punishment is likely warranted for a "first offense", even though it isn't. Or if it is warranted, they might use it to justify a harsher punishment for that one case. It is not cool. These accusations leave a permanent mark that does harm. It shouldn't be so casually thrown around and it never should be taken lightly. SOMETHING should be done to point out how individual infractions and warnings weren't valid if we're not willing to find a way to actually delete them. I know it's possible in a roundabout way of accessing the database. Not convenient. But from my wiki experience, I know it's possible to write php code that could automate it.
