What's with the slowness? I know that ArbCom has always been a bunch of slowpokes, and that sometimes it takes a lot of thought to come to conclusion on a case - but does it really take 2 months to settle Allegations of Apartheid? There are cases where editors have allegations of being sockpuppets and the like made against them that have been open for over four weeks. One arb has been inactive since January. Proposals to help speed things along are met with very little discussion < http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_arbitration#Propose.... And whilst the ArbCom (I'm assuming) deliberates in private the parties are left to agitate and argue amongst themselves on talk pages. What's the point?
