all proposed

After considering /Evidence and discussing proposals with other arbitrators, parties and others at /Workshop place proposals which are ready for voting here.

Arbitrators should vote for or against each point or abstain.

  • Only items that receive a majority "support" vote will be passed.
  • Items that receive a majority "oppose" vote will be formally rejected.
  • Items that do not receive a majority "support" or "oppose" vote will be open to possible amendment by any Arbitrator if she/he so chooses. After the amendment process is complete, the item will be voted on one last time.

Conditional votes for or against and abstentions should be explained by the Arbitrator before or after his/her time-stamped signature. For example, an Arbitrator can state that she/he would only favor a particular remedy based on whether or not another remedy/remedies were passed.

On this case, 0 Arbitrators are recused and 5 are inactive, so 5 votes are a majority.

For all items

Proposed wording to be modified by Arbitrators and then voted on. Non-Arbitrators may comment on the talk page.

Motions and requests by the parties

Place those on /Workshop.

Proposed temporary injunctions

Four net "support" votes needed to pass (each "oppose" vote subtracts a "support")
24 hours from the first vote is normally the fastest an injunction will be imposed.

  2. Prefer 2.1. SimonP 17:37, 12 July 2006 (UTC) reply

Moby Dick may be blocked for continuing to harass

2.1) Should, in the opinion of any administrator, Moby Dick make any edit which constitutes harassment of Cool Cat or Megaman Zero, he may be briefly blocked, for up to a month in the event of repeat offenses. After five blocks, the maximum block shall increase to one year. All bans to be logged at Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Moby Dick#Log of blocks and bans. This remedy may be expanded in scope to include harassmennt of any other user if, in the opinion of at least three administrators, it is deemed necessary.

Support:
  1. This accomplishes the same (except for the last sentence, which I don't think is controversial) as passing remedy 2 and enforcement 2, except that I think, as with James' comments, it is preferable to leave absolutely no implication that anyone isn't already prohibited from harassment.

Proposed enforcement

Enforcement of subject ban by block

1) Should Moby Dick violate the ban on editing certain areas, he may be briefly blocked, for up to a week in the event of repeat offenses.

Discussion by Arbitrators Information

General

I am not particularly happy with these propositions. I am relying heavily on the judgement of Tony Sidaway and MONGO, see Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Moby_Dick/Evidence#Three_administrators_identify_Moby_Dick_as_a_probable_sock_of_Davenbelle. Fred Bauder 11:49, 2 July 2006 (UTC) reply

Motion to close

Implementation notes

Clerks and arbitrators should use this section to clarify their understanding of the final decision--at a minimum, a list of items that have passed. Additionally, a list of which remedies are conditional on others (for instance a ban that should only be implemented if a mentorship should fail), and so on. Arbitrators should not pass the motion until they are satisfied with the implementation notes.

Vote

Four net "support" votes needed to close case (each "oppose" vote subtracts a "support")
