{{ivmbox|1=In remedy 2 of ], {{user|GoodDay}} was warned that "in the event of additional violations of Misplaced Pages's conduct policies (especially of the nature recorded in this decision as findings of fact), substantial sanctions, up to a ban from the project, may be imposed without further warning by the Arbitration Committee". It is apparent from the submissions in this amendment request that GoodDay has engaged in further violations of Misplaced Pages's conduct policies. Accordingly, GoodDay is banned from the English Misplaced Pages for a period of no less than one year. After one year has elapsed, a request may be made for the ban to be lifted. Any such request must address all the circumstances which led to this ban being imposed and demonstrate an understanding of and intention to refrain from similar actions in the future.}} | |||

* In one case, a checkuser inadvertently linked an account with an IP address when there were no grounds to do so.

The log entry linking the account with the IP address had separately been suppressed after a request to the oversight team. | |||
* In one case, no further action was required. | |||
* In one case, a steward had blocked an account after mistakenly selecting the "suppress account" option (which they have access to but are not permitted to use except in an emergency). The action was overturned and no further action was required. | |||
* In two cases, the complaint did not relate to the use of advanced permissions and was therefore dismissed. | |||
* In one case, a functionary was instructed to recuse from using their checkuser tools in certain circumstances (which will not be disclosed in this report), but no deliberate misuse of the checkuser permission was detected and no further recommendation to the Arbitration Committee was made. | |||

Off-wiki misconduct in Palestine–Israel topic area
