I also disagree on a case by case basis.

If there's to be an amnesty, then it should cover everyone.

I think we as admins upheld the policies of the wiki hard in the lead up to the 50th anniversary and The Day of the Doctor. I think those policies helped maintain an integrity of the policies and the wiki.

However, I'm also of the philosophy that everyone deserves a fair go, even if they make a few mistakes along the way.

I agree that we should't "wipe the slate clean" (and can't in any case).

I'm not sure that Christmas is the time to do it, as Shambala108 points out Christmas is when we'll be getting a lot of new users, and very likely a lot of speculation (or maybe just squeeing, who knows). So maybe Christmas isn't the time to be opening the doors and removing the padlocks.

How about we parole everyone blocked from the start of 2014, new year and all that jazz?
