We've been told we can't complain to the Ombudsman commission because they only deal with violations of the privacy policy, not the checkuser policy. We've been told we have no right to know whether we've been checked. Attempts to introduce such a rule have led to the checkusers saying they will not follow it. And when we do find out that we've been checked, the only concern of the checkusers is to find out who told us, and to punish that person. It really is a very bad situation for the Foundation, one that's bound to lead to trouble sooner or later.
Sarah neglects to note that there is a body that can answer this, that being the Arbitration Committee, and that the matter is currently with this body after Sarah brought it up in a lengthy and accusation-filled but evidence-poor thread on wiken-l (she refused to file a case even while making extensive accusations, so someone else did):
