Never heard of it but it looks like a worthy effort. [[Wikipedia:Probation]] provides that any administrator may enforce probation. There are errors in their setup, for example the notion that a banned users in on probation on their return (Not an arbitration committee idea). I suggest everyone work with this and make the most of it. Violations of probation may be reported to [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard]] but not every administrator may be ready to deal with someone on probation despite having the authority to do it. A specialized group could help. In fact, demonstrated finesse in dealing with users on probation would make an excellent recommendation for further responsibilities. It is possible the arbitration committee would consider this group as a resource if it turns out to be well organized and competent. Fred On Nov 12, 2005, at 6:02 PM, Carbonite wrote:
