I second that. I'm sure most of us here are, or have been, good solid IT people in real life, and care about this or any machine's health. As a 23-year career system programmer, I do hate getting handcuffed, but totally understand, and both pro-and-con lockdown comments do resonate with me. This deserves discussion.
Suggestion: (I'm sure that I have not been the first one with this thought.)
- My RACF profile, supposedly being nothing special, is in both the USER and ADMIN RACF groups, so I assume(!?) that everyone's is. Perhaps the site might want to consider assigning ADMIN membership to only those who ask for it??
Perhaps petitioners can pass a "board (a thread?) of review" by senior members. Don't know exactly what, but I'm comfortable with some more solid assurance that either (a) you know what you're doing, (b) you know that the onus is on you to keep it stable, and (c) there will be consequences (I hereby volunteer my Mafia connections
) if one tries to get fishy / furtive / "Z EOD"-ey / cracker-ish.
A responsible user/admin/sysop can, of course, make a genuine screw-up, and should be forgiven, provided it is not repeated.
