So where is the Wikipedia jail? Right now, the accuseds are allowed to continue what they were doing, willy-nilly.

When there is very strong suspicion of crime, he can be maintained in jail before the trial actually occur.

That's ridiculous. TWO WEEKS? When a logged-in user is causing chaos and an attempt by anyone to do something about it will lead to THEIR being banned or having their sysop privileges taken away? That is NOT hasty, that's molasses slow. I see no reason why anything more than three days is necessary.

I think the way you hold power in your own hands it that you, who are in contact with the problem, can initiate the conflict resolution procedure, beginning with talking to the party, asking for mediation, then arbitration.
The arbitration committee (who if they are careful, are not in contact with the situation, at least not slugging it out) can if a case comes to us, rather rapidly decide a matter and prescribe a remedy. (A week or two is very rapid indeed in this context, even hasty).

Could someone give an update on a timeline for action?
Something will be done about Plautus when you do something about Plautus. The timeline for action on Plautus is roughly:
- You decide to act.
- You act.
I liked your answer But...I have another question
Some people think that something should be done about Lir.
Question they ask : When will something be done ?
Answer they received from UserA :
- There is no problem with user Lir. So, you have no problem
====> Answer of the type : your opinion is irrelevant
Answer they received from UserB :
- We are busy thinking about the matter. Please be patient, do not do
anything, we'll fix the problem for you, that is our job
====> Answer of the type : please, hold on, you are not in charge, we are in charge. Go back to your own business
Still, nothing happen
What they do
- They decide to act.
- They act.
Answer they received from UserC
- Your action was incorrect. You are out of the game. Next time,
refer
to suggestion of UserB instead of trying to decide and act by
yourself.
Comment from Anthere
When general guidelines are inconsistant, and that half of people say ''you are in charge, take charge'' and the half say ''do not do anything, those who have responsa bility here will take care of the matter for you'', is there proper consistancy in our message ?
The vaccum cleaner hole is more than a hole. People just do not know, whether they should refer to a group of user from now on to fix their problems Or if they should manage to deal with problems themselves
So, yes, that is a good answer, but at least people from the
arbitration
committee should be consistant in their answer, to those of us
who are
wondering what action power we still hold. At least, to know whether your answer, Martin, is the correct one, or the incorrect one.
(I can have my own answer, but I suppose I would be the one to find myself in front of arbitration if I applied it, so will I dare ?)
