[WikiEN-l] Arbcom

[Vee]

What's with the slowness? I know that ArbCom has always been a bunch of
slowpokes, and that sometimes it takes a lot of thought to come to
conclusion on a case - but does it really take 2 months to settle
Allegations of Apartheid? There are cases where editors have allegations of
being sockpuppets and the like made against them that have been open for
over four weeks. One arb has been inactive since January. Proposals to help
speed things along are met with very little discussion <
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_arbitration#Proposed_rule_changes>.
And whilst the ArbCom (I'm assuming) deliberates in private the parties are
left to agitate and argue amongst themselves on talk pages. What's the
point?
