I retained my moderator privileges not because he gave them to me, but because the administrators approved of the action after the fact. He has no undue sway or authority, and to anyone who has not come to know him as I have (a relationship which long predates LMBW), I firmly believe you'd find him as trustworthy and honorable as any. And in his defense, I don't think the fact that you don't know him well truly means he cannot be trusted with the responsibility altogether.

I don't want him to not be check user because of Administrator power abuse (even if it was accidental). I don't want him to be check user because I don't want my IP added to the already-detailed text doc he has dedicated to me on his computer already. Not to mention the seventy other users here.

JSYK, if he wanted your IP, he could have obtained it long ago. IPs are about as easy to find as your username. If you're concerned about privacy, then CheckUser should be the least of those concerns. Not only do we have very specific guidelines on how it is to be used, we have a log to make sure that no one is checking anyone that they shouldn't be. Honestly, the only way you would get CheckUser'd, is if you created a duplicate account. Considering that your reputation is already established, I don't see the account RePeat ever getting a CheckUser run. But if you were to create another account, that account could get it. (hint: don't create a dupe ) Thanks Drew, you've made me feel so much better.

Whoops. JK. But, on a serious note, I have heard over and over about this log, and I'm sorry, but it makes me feel nonetheless safer for whatever reason.
