Well, we could have a summary procedure for egregious cases, couldn't call it Kangaroo Court, maybe Duck Court. It could be evoked by Ed Poor and a few others of his status, say also Daniel Mayers. They could then briefly consider the matter and ban the offender until the matter could be considered by the mediation and arbitration committees. Kind of like a preliminary injunction. Grounds would be the likelyhood of permanent damage to the project resulting from serious offenses combined with a general refusal to listen.

I wouldn't leave it to Ed or I. I would feel far more comfortable with a quorum of the arbitration committee. In these cases, we could impose a temporary ban pending a full arbitration process on what to do next. But IMO, we cannot do such a thing until the submission standards go live on edit windows.
