Netoholic

Unfortunately, the present "Arbitration" process has become increasingly legalistic and punitive - more like a criminal court. Re-establishing the proper focus is the compass by which I will measure my work as an Arbitrator.

  • I will reject all requests for arbitration which are made to the Committee by persons who are not directly involved in the dispute. The proliferation of "district attorney"-type requestors must end and the spirit of true arbitration must return.
  • I will expect that all parties entering into arbitration will accept the binding outcome. If any party chooses not to enter arbitration or chooses to defy the binding outcome, then other processes, like mediation or adminstrator action, should be employed.
  • I will accept all complaints of misuse of adminstrator rights, so long as the prima facia case seems solid. I fully endorse granting our administrators greater privilege in neutrally dealing with problems, but likewise want to reassure the community that admins can come under review, as well.

I'll expand on the last item. More problem users should be handled by community/administrator consensus alone. If they feel unfairly restricted by an admin, they can appeal to the Arbitration process; but both (implicitely) must accept the binding decision. Admins who are neutral and explain their reasoning will have the support of the community and the ArbCom. On the other hand, if that user is being treated unfairly, then ArbCom review of that admin becomes much more accessible. In short, I seek to give more responsibility to the good administrators, while making it easier to review the bad ones. -- Netoholic @ 22:33, 4 November 2005 (UTC) (revised 21:53, 8 December 2005 (UTC))

  56. Oppose. Despite the possibly misleading name, participation in arbritration is not and should not be voluntary. If problem editors are allowed a veto on whether they have any sanction on them, I suspect this would reduce the arbcom workload to close to 0. The number of wheel wars between people i'd characterise as 'good admins' we've seen lately belies any hope with the latter points. Morwen - Talk 11:58, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

  96. Oppose. Point 1 is great. Point 2 is sucky, as there is no other compelling form of action, and the candidate either shells the action down to mediation (which is entirely voluntary, and any action raised to arbitration must of necessity be irreconcilable, and thus beyond voluntary binding) or up to Fiat. Misplaced Pages is not an enlightened despotism. One of the very few informed oppose votes I have cast this election: the candidate lays out a genuine platform. Fifelfoo 22:42, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Neutral

  1. I would support, but I am disquieted by the second plank; should problem users who attempt to ignore ArbCom be subject to its jurisdiction or not? Septentrionalis 19:44, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
