Can someone please explain to me why admins feel the need to protect their archives or their talks, despite the fact that various non-admins have archives and nearly all moves of talkpages not by their owners would be vandalism? Unless you wish to protect everyone's archives, the parallel between such actions and [[SW:YAV|YAV]] are amusing. --<span style="font-family:vivaldi; font-size:12pt">[[User:Shadowcrest|<span style="color:#4682b4">Shadow</span>]][[User talk:Shadowcrest|<span style="color:#4682b4;">crest</span>]]</span> 22:58, 6 January 2009 (UTC) | Can someone please explain to me why admins feel the need to protect their archives or their talks, despite the fact that various non-admins have archives and nearly all moves of talkpages not by their owners would be vandalism?

:Move vandals have an unpleasant tendency to target admins' user pages/talk pages, and some have had archives vandalised. It's not intended to counteract YAV in any way.

::They have a tendency to target people that revert their vandalism, actually. Which would include all the rollbackers by default- that's what rollback is for, isn't it?- as well as various other users who do not have rollback that revert anyway. So there goes that argument. | |||
::I realize that you and the others don't do it to spite YAV, but that's what it does. Unless you wish to retroactively protect others' archives, I don't see why admin's archives and the like should remain protected. Prot isn't a tool that should be used willy-nilly either. --<span style="font-family:vivaldi; font-size:12pt">[[User:Shadowcrest|<span style="color:#4682b4">Shadow</span>]][[User talk:Shadowcrest|<span style="color:#4682b4;">crest</span>]]</span> 23:12, 6 January 2009 (UTC) | |||
