The Arbitration Committee is seeking public commentary and suggestions pertaining to an ongoing problem: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/RFC
Everyone should read and consider this. We've had *lengthy* discussions on this matter on wikien-l.
Basically: most of the really poisonous arseholes have in fact been kicked off en: Wikipedia, and when new ones show up they are ejected in reasonable order. (In a lot of cases, it's not even reaching the AC as they're dealt with as obvious vandals and trolls by WP:AN/I.) So now the AC is getting a lot of grey-area cases that are really a proxy for a content dispute. What to do about this?
