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.

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.

I'd like to see temporary, article-level bans as one solution.
