Name a case where that happened.
I should have added, name a case where that happened where the person bringing the case was in fact innocent and then wrongfully sanctioned. It would be absurd to only look at the accused and not the accuser. That would encourage bad actors to request frivolous arbitrations.

The ArbCom process should already be able to handle this. Let's look at the process:
1. Conflict resolution fails 2. User requests ArbCom decision 3. ArbCom members vote on whether to accept the case 4. ArbCom procedes and looks into the matter at hand
At step 3 the user submitting the case should be examined. If its determined that the user is requesting an Arbitration case in bad faith the arbitrators reject the case. If the user continues to file frivilous requests a seperate ArbCom request is submitted against that user and they are stopped at the source.
This has already happened with CheeseDreams. It worked admirably.
