No, in fact only privacy policy breaches can be brought to the Ombudsman committee. There is no process, as I understand it, for dealing with checkuser misuse, except taking it to a full ArbCom hearing, which is why no complaint was brought against Lar, the checkuser in this case. The editor and two admins who were checked-usered by him, and I was one of them, didn't have the time or energy to start an ArbCom case over it.
It would and should be rejected.
There are editors who have argued that it should be mandatory, a view I'm increasingly coming around to myself.
So, tell me: what is the violation you feel you have been subjected to? Use as many words as you feel you need to.
