The arbitration process is currently in a state of fairly major meltdown. COFS sat there for well over 2 months, and it took so long one remedy had to be scrapped as it became irrelevant.
It was being discussed. Attempts to get it closed earlier were made.
You may have tried to get it closed earlier. I know this quite well. The point is that you failed. Miserably.
Allegations of apartheid is still there, still split, a collective monkey on everyone's backs. Bharatveer, an open-and-shut case if ever there was one, is just sitting there. SevenofDiamonds is split and seems to be going nowhere. Attack sites seems dead in the water.
You are not being fair about "attack sites". If the issue were trite, why would so much discussion result? And the monkey is on the Arbitrators' collective back.
So much discussion? Why? Because people are idiots. As a community, we clearly need some resolution to the matter of attack sites. And yes, it is a trite issue: how hard can "link to reliable sources, but nothing else (and god help you if you break this rule)" be?

Fine, then. Deny the problem. Collective unrest will grow, and when the ArbCom commands no respect heaven only knows what chaos will result.
