They do have a private mailing list, you know. From what I've heard it's not exactly under-used.

Arbcom takes a lot of time to make quick and rash decisions. You hardly see extensive discussions by arbitrators on workshops or proposed decisions anymore

I take it you object to the fact that "They give a lot of leeway to

were that to happen?
I suspect quite a lot of users would agree that we should take a harder line on some people; however, I'm not sure that there is wide agreement on WHICH people. One person's troll is another person's unfairly maligned good user, I find.
Arbcom suffers from the well-known and far from unique problems of committees (slow to decide, cautious). However, being quick and rash isn't necessarily the right thing either.
