One idea I have is a ban for one day for each time the perp uses the words
"stupid", "trash" and "crap" to describe another's edit.
This could add up
to a year or two for some of these folks.

Subject: [WikiEN-l] Arbitration progress report #4
We've provisionally agreed on what rules will goven arbitration - IE, what
people will
be found guilty and innocent of:
----
The arbitrators will judge cases according to the following guidelines, which
they will
apply with common sense and discretion, and an eye to the expectations of the
community:
1) Established Wikipedia customs and common practices
2) Wikipedia's "laws": terms of use, submission standards, byelaws,
general
disclaimer, copyright license.
3) Sensible "Real world" laws
Former decisions will not be binding on the arbitrators - rather, they intend
to learn
from experience.
-----
We've also decided to tweak the Jurisdiction rules based on your feedback, so
that
number four is now: "The arbitrators will primarily investigate interpersonal
disputes"
Next up, we discuss which solutions we shall apply. I favour putting
troublesome
people in a dungeon and torturing them, but there you are.
-Martin
