I totally disagree. Arbco. Decisions have a huge impact on the community even if the majority of the community doesnt see it. Since you mention discretionary sanctions, that is an area where i have seen abused many times. Some admins who like power frequently hide behind ds's and use them as a means to get rid of editor they dont like. They are too broad, too discretionary and too "broadlt construed". It makes them open to abuse in a project where its nearly impossible to remove the tools from even the most abusive admin.

Subject:Re: [Gendergap] Arbcom election
if we organize now, we could run a civility slate of candidates.with a view of block voting in next year's election?one take away is how few voters there are.we have a lot of feminist editathons coming up
should we consider recruiting at events to get new editors over 150 edits,
