Thank you for running for the hardest and most thankless job on the project. I am rehashing most of my 2015 questions because I don't think that these issues have been resolved over the past three years. Enjoy!
Current Disputes and Cases
What are your standards for banning someone from the project compared to a topic ban or some lesser sanction?
Nearly every case involves
violations of the civility policy in some way, shape, or form. At one time, a remedy called a "Civility Parole" existed but it fell out of vogue. Today, the only tools in the current Arbitrator's toolboxes to deal with civility issues are interaction bans, topic bans, and site bans. What new and creative ways would you bring to the table to solve this problem?
AGK fills the NYB/Institutional Memory slot on my bingo sheet. He is someone I haven't always agreed with but I know that he is trying to do his best for the community.
