Hello colleagues,

There is currently a small amount of discussion happening on an ENWP arbitration page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Clarification_and_Amendment#Clarification_request:_Discretionary_sanctions regarding what ENWP calls "discretionary sanctions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee/Discretionary_sanctions" practices. Does anyone know of research regarding the effects, good and bad, of the Arbcom authorization of discretionary sanctions? If not, then I suggest that this be a topic of future research, particularly for researchers involved with WMF's work on community health.

Thank you,
