Framming

That'd be basically asking for a framming for myself Infinitive: To Fram. I fram, you fram, he/she/one frams, etc. It could be reflexive also: He Frams hi...

Re: Nihonjoe Has Been Naughty
We don't want Arbcom making new policy, that is not their job. Their job is to arbitrate protracted problems that the community CAN'T solve, and find solutions that are equitable and put the interests of the Project first, using existing policy as a basis. Policy changes should happen by consensus ...

Or Beeblebrox.
I bet it does not. It's only because they are desperate to protect Nihonjoe that they are doing so (I think). BB and Fram were thorns in the side that they actively wanted to be done without!

Wikipedia will only really be concerned when those 14 start coming out of the active 100... if 14 Administrators who don't do a lot are desysopped, no one would really notice. Or are they active, the 14? Tamzin, the like?
