They could just unblock themselves anyway, unless it was a non-admin Oversight...which I suppose is possible.

'Special' rights aren't blocked, only editing is. It'll only take another second to strip someone of his oversight rights after you block him. The real fun starts when blocking sysops: they can unblock themselves if you don't remember to de-sysop them as well.

Fair enough. Strange system where admins can unblock themselves.

Reopening this bug. Blocked sysops should be able *only* to unblock himself, other actions (like deletion) should check for block status.

What sense does it make if a sysop performs the action or they unblock themselves and perform the action anyway?

So it makes harder life for sysops-vandals :)
