Playing a bit of devils advocate here, but why would Gman need to surrender his Bureacrat rights now of all times when 1) He's never had to take them away since his departure from the administration (which was quite a long time ago) and 2) He had, and continues to have, full possession over the account that he unbanned.

This wikia is not as active as it used to be by any means. If his intention was to test you, he did his duty as a a former part of the GFW administration. He helped each moderator and sysop determine whether or not they are competent enough to handle their position, determine if they themselves are "rusty," and if they follow their own guidelines when handling something like this if it were actually someone malicious.

He is a gentleman and a scholar for aiding in the betterment of this wikia - even if you can't see that for yourselves.
