Carol's productive contributions outweigh the trolling she's been put through and occasional policy issue she has run in to, at least not to the point of warranting a site ban. Neotarf is being topic-banned from a project they were a productive contributor to on a handful of flimsy diffs. I'd bet $20 that either no civility block sticks to Eric or it ends in another arb case within four months. Eric's a prolific content contributor who has for at least two years regularly used the same gendered slur and refused to acknowledge a problem with it or with his behavior in general. Like Betacommand, the content contributions driven off by his behavior greatly outnumber his own. The decision as it stands is ENWP's arbcom explicitly saying they don't care about one of five aimed metrics WMF to back strategic priorities.

That's a gross misrepresentation of the case outcome.
The case is ending with Carol Moore being banned off for reasons which should be obvious to anyone reading through the case documentation and knowing of her previous case before this Arbcom.
Neotarf (who has made it clear that they have never identified as male or female) is being topic-banned from participating in the GGTF.
Eric Corbett is going to be under a new regimen of non-appealable civility blocks under the aegis of Arbitration Enforcement.
Sitush has been warned for his creation of a Carol Moore biography.
That's pretty much it.
No "bunch of women" being singled out and stricken for no reason. A couple people judged to be disruptionists are being shown the door. The summary Kevin makes is ridiculous.
