Many people have had negative encounters with overly eager speedy deleters. The problem is that a careless, hasty, or overzealous CSD can be much worse than a common vandal. Vandalism is extremely easy to spot, can be removed in a few clicks, in very short order, and everything is completely visible. An overeager speedy deleting admin's damage, however, is completely invisible to the common user. The questions thus become:
- Why do people have concerns about speedy deleters?
- What do speedy deleters need to know or do to prevent this feeling?
