[WikiEN-l] Community Ombuds Department

[Geoffrey Plourde]

Let me rephrase, I was simply asking whether or not people were in favor of Jimbo's mandate remaining in effect.

I think we should try and limit the policy that gets created to things
that are absolutely required. See [[WP:CREEP]]. We should ask
ourselves, "If we don't implement this policy, how many people will
die as a result?" If that number is less than 5, no new policy. :)
Kidding! (not really!)

Anyway, I don't think we need any new intermediaries, if you have a
problem with anyone, just talk to them. Even Jimmy answers emails. If
you have a problem with a group of people, then the conflict
resolution systems in place seem more than adequate. They are pretty
much competing with each other now in some weird anarchic showdown,
RFC, or mediation cabal? ;)
