[WikiEN-l] Arbitration Committee

[White Cat]

Is there any point why we even have arbcom? They do not seem to be doing
much of resolving disputes lately. Granted they accept cases and close them.
But by the time case is closed very little of the dispute is been resolved.
Often disputes continue as if the RFAR wasn't filed.

They often do not respond to inquires in a timely fashion or at all. They
ignore evidence or at least make statements that are directly contradicted
by hard evidence. The remedies they pass generally are common-sense
statements and nothing more. For example, they will say that meatpupperary
is disruptive but they will not pass remedies in prevention of it.

They are not fair. They give a lot of leeway to long term trolls yet they do
not give a fraction of that to good standing users. For example they will
decline a case if is is not adequately engulfed in disruption. If you want
your case to be heard by arbcom you need to be revert waring left right or
else you will not be given much attention even if you exhaust dispute
resolution.

Maybe it is time to dissolve arbcom.
