This matter is different from our usual case, as we have all encountered FuelWagon doing his thing.
It is only that general familiarity which could support proactive or summary action.
Often the first we hear about someone is when it shows up on Requests for arbitration and we are truly clueless about what is going on. We don't want the endless pile of evidence we are usually presented with (No one could actually read it all). What we need is a few examples which nicely illustrate the problem. This is not too much to ask for. You are writers. You are editors.

Is a "better way" to deal with this not to allow arbitrators to proactively take cases, as opposed to waiting for cases to come to them? If this situation is as you say it is, Sarah (and i feel like believing you rather than trawling through these evidence pages), then the damage that has been done will only continue throughout the process of arbitration. If arbitrators were to take and act on cases that they can see are being destructive, then they could make and delegate rulings with the collective force of a group (as opposed to the actions of one or two admins) in the way they feel appropriate, without having to have a long, drawn-out process that can be turned into a "circus". This is a dangerous suggestion, I know, but I felt I should make it.
