Do you mean the threat to report you?

Don't worry about that. Staff do not just react to one person's report, we look at the situation carefully and take action only if it's necessary.

In this case, you have a good reason for protecting pages, even though we always push for wikis to be open. That's what they are for after all!

I would suggest you talk to SOAP (the new name for VSTF) and see if they can find other solutions, we have some tricks up our sleeves that can help 🙂

I think showing that you are trying to look after the wiki as best you can, despite difficult circumstances, will help others to understand. For example, you could tell this person that you will keep the protection for a X days, or until SOAP can help.

So don't worry about the threat to report you, just try to understand their point of view and find compromises that will allow people to edit while keeping the wiki safe.

However, I don't suggest making this user an admin as they ask. To go from asking for admin rights to saying they will report you in such a short time suggests that they are not going to work with you well.
