It is addressed but by a rather complicated and demanding process. See Wikipedia:Dispute resolution. Not really workable for new users who bump up against well-established users who have bad habits, or have learned that nasty behavior pays off in being able to control content.
Removing the mediation committee from that process might streamline things a bit. I notice the mediation cabal has closed its doors since the last time I looked.

I confess I'm not up to date; hardly anyone ever tries to seriously argue with me; and, often, if they do, I find something more productive than arguing with an idiot. (See, I am a very bad citizen). The Dispute resolution pages should be up to date and reflect current practices, whatever they are; in many cases matters that once would have been considered for arbitration are now handled by administrators.
