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.

/When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_law and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
/Could you please cite an example of *every* example you listed so that a candid world will know. Thanks.
