<snip> On a different note I was trying to seek restructuring RfAR page. As in technically chipping out appeal part of the page (which now occupies a greater amount of space than actual requests). I am told was attempted not too long ago. The attempt failed only because arbitrators and clerks did not like it - or so I am told. For seeking to change it despite the arbitrator/clerk apathy towards people who have a very slow internet connection my initiative was labeled as trolling.
If I am not even allowed to change/criticize the technical aspects of arbcom and if such an attempt hits an iron curtain I wonder how useful arbcom is on actual controversies.

Actually, it wasn't just the clerks and the arbitrators who disliked it; many people who were trying to follow the cases involved found it difficult, as well, and it became another backwater page that few in the community were watching. While I do sympathise with the issue of slow loading (AN and ANI are worse, even on high-speed and T-1 connections), I think it's probably more important that the cases continue to be as highly visible as possible in the hopes that they might get some response.
