Administrator desysopped

The Arbitration Committee desysopped Archtransit on Tuesday, February 19, after concerns about the user's administrative actions led to a checkuser, the results of which showed that Archtransit likely controlled many sockpuppets, some of which he had blocked and unblocked previously (possibly to remove the "autoblock" setting that might have revealed his sockpuppet network). A discussion regarding the situation is underway at the administrators' noticeboard.
