Improv

Howdy. I'm Improv, and have been on since late 2002 (initially under the username Pgunn). I've been a mediator since Jan2005 and an administrator since Feb2005. I also have been a Usenet moderator for a number of newsgroups for over five years. I should state that if I become an arbitrator, I will retain my post on the mediation committee, and continue to mediate as well, as I see no conflict in doing both (although I will abstain on any case that made its way through my mediation unsuccessfully). I don't have a platform, and promise only to be fair as I see it and to put in the effort needed in a timely fashion to prevent delay. All I can say on policy is that I think banning has a place, but I don't think it's possible to say anything useful as to how it should be handled in general. I will also suggest improvements that I think will be productive. I plan to write and make public an opinion on every case I participate in explaining my reasoning, things I have signed on to, and areas where I dissent. --Improv 00:28, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

  79. Support - Since Improv decided not to serve on both commitees at once, I'm happily changing my vote from oppose to support. Please note that he didn't have to change his mind - only 2 people objected for this reason. He changed his statement because he thought it was right, and that says a lot to me. – Quadell 02:41, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

  15. Oppose per Radiant. Also, RfM and RfAr are opposed. RfM puts being nice and letting things slide way over article quality or user conduct. Blocking use explaination too vague. We need someone a bit more bold when it comes to laying down the hammer.Voice of All 18:58, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

  24. Oppose. Candidate does not adequately address the nature of arbitration in their candidate statement. In ignorance: I must oppose. With so many candidates, the statement is the extent to which I can engage in becoming an informed voter. Any candidate so contemptuous of the demos as to make it difficult for me to become an informed voter: I must oppose, it bodes poorly for their capacity to take on social responsibility.
