If Arb Com gains when it refuse to hear a dispute between parties who can't show where they have tried to find common ground.
Some would consider the time taken for an extra step to be a loss. But there's nothing wrong with a little patience.

Suppose we did require cooperation with mediation and consider how the user conducted themselves and sanction those who don't cooperate. What do we gain, what do we lose?

That's why I want to breath new life into the Mediation Committee. I think Mediation shouldn't be another step towards banning either party but a genuine effort at resolving the problem.
Absolutely. Many people see mediation as only an annoying formality to skirt around before going to ArbCom. Mediation needs to be seen as an end in itself.
And an uncooperative attitude in mediation could be a factor in an arbitration decision.
