Revision as of 02:50, 31 December 2009

Template:Moderationnav

While the wiki community attempts to work on the basis of encouragement and cooperation, there are occasions where wiki users find themselves unable to reach accord. In the event of this happening, the Arbitration Team may be called upon to intervene, and attempt to find a reasonable compromise that, while perhaps not satisfying both parties, may at least assist in defusing the situation, thanks to the unbiased third party.

Guidelines for Arbitration Requests

In assisting in Arbitration, we generally suggest that both parties agree to the Arbitration. This is not, by any means, a requirement, but we do require that both parties be represented in proceedings.

Any Arbitration request should provide at least the following:

  • The aggrieved parties. Either person vs person, or [list of people] vs [list of people].
  • The reason for the arbitration. This should very specifically be without reference to people, as that information has already been provided. It should be a short paragraph indicating the causes of the aggrievement, and why both parties feel it requires arbitration
  • Any pages affected by the aggrievement. This should be a simple list of links.

Once the Arbitration commences, the Arbitrator will request statements from all parties involved. Any evidence to back up one's statement should be provided in link form. Each party will then have an opportunity to rebut their opponent's statement. After these two steps, the Arbitrator will then consider the case, and reach a conclusion, and determine the outcome that is required. It's the duty of the Arbitrator to move a case he accepted to a subpage of UDWiki:Administration/Arbitration, and to update the status of the arbitration case in the Arbitration Cases in Progress section.

As a note, by requesting an Arbitration, all parties are thus obliged to accept the outcome of the Arbitration. Not doing will be considered Vandalism, and such vandalism attempts will be treated as if the vandal has already received two warnings.

After the Arbitration is over, it will then be moved to an archive page. As publicly accessible pages, they may be used to establish precedent in further, applicable cases.

Current Arbitrators

For guidelines on how to arbitrate, see Arbitration Guidelines.

The following users have placed their hand up as users who are willing to be contacted to act as an Arbitrator. The role of Arbitrator is not restricted to the Administration Team; any user can be contacted as an Arbitrator (even if not listed below) and use this page for the arbitration, so long as both parties agree to the Arbitrator. Users who wish to place their hand up as an Arbitrator should place their name below on the list, using *{{usr|YourUserPage}}

Also note that not all listed Arbitrators are active on the Wiki.

Lelouch vs Zombie Lord

I'm tired of him constantly deleting my templates, and I've warned him to stop. Call it editing another user's comments, call it harassment, call it whatever you want, but I'm tired of it and I'd like it to end. My endgame would be a ruling for him to stop deleting things I put up; if he really thinks it shouldn't be up there, he can('t?) talk to me about it in a civilized manner.

Give it more time, L. That suggestion was only a day old; no need for a removal notice that early. --Bob Boberton TF / DW Littlemudkipsig.gif 00:38, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
It had been up there for quite a while without a single comment. If he really wanted it to stay so bad, he could have just posted something in the discussion area and bumped it. Lelouch vi Britannia is helping make Ridleybank green_ and gives Achievements 00:40, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
Shit, I don't have time to have a civilized conversation with you every time you do something retarded, LeDouche. It would be my whole fuckin LIFE.-- | T | BALLS! | 01:15 31 December 2009(UTC)

Can't accept you Yon. I feel too much like you're an involved party. Lelouch vi Britannia is helping make Ridleybank green_ and gives Achievements 00:56, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
I haven't commented on any of his involved suggestions, or on your templates. But if you deny me arbitration, then I recommend SA.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 00:59, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
You're kidding right? I might be a bit phobic about letting you in due to the whole involved party thing, but SA is a whole 'nother bandwagon. I trust him about as far as I can predict him: not at all. Lelouch vi Britannia is helping make Ridleybank green_ and gives Achievements 01:03, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

I volunteer to arbitrate this mess. I can't promise the end result won't be messy though. Nothing to be done! 00:59, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

I don't like the sound of that messiness, but don't have any reason not to accept you as arbitrator, either. Lelouch vi Britannia is helping make Ridleybank green_ and gives Achievements 01:04, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
HAHAHA. No. Pick someone NOT from your biased Troll Gang.-- | T | BALLS! | 01:48 31 December 2009(UTC)
I resent the accusation that I'm organised enough to have a gang. Nothing to be done! 01:49, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
Ok, Disorganized Troll Mob.-- | T | BALLS! | 01:51 31 December 2009(UTC)

HAHAHA, nerd court is now in session. Get a fucking life, loser. Ok, I will accept SA.--

Nerd court ftw. Also i'm barely active and have no idea what the hell this is about, so i might as well volunteer (spelling?) to arby this thang. xoxo 01:38, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Taco2 v. Iscariot

Excuse me, I'm new so I apologize if I did anything wrong. One of the administrators here (In the UK Rage) came into my talk page and started leaving me abusive and foul messages because I didn't do something on my page correctly. In addition to calling me all kinds of rude names, tHis person also made threats to "run me off the wiki." I would like to report this person's behavior because this is the kind of thing that makes people leave and no longer participate. YOu can read it on my talk page under "admin pages." I will refrain from responding to this person any longer. Thank you for treating my complaint seriously. Sincerely, --Taco2 19:51, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

I didn't start this case, so I really fucking suggest you remove my name from being first. Also, did you move this from misconduct and remove my comment for no reason? Because that is vandalism and could lead to you getting banned. Or did you start a brand new case and remove an in progress misconduct case? Because that's vandalism as well.
I'll deal with the rest of the amusement of this case when you've sorted all of that. -- To know the face of God is to know madness....Praise knowledge! Mischief! Mayhem! The Rogues Gallery!. <== DDR Approved Editor 20:14, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
I imstructed him to remove the misconduct case of a non-sysop and bring it to the relevant page. A/M is not for disputes like this. Nothing to be done! 20:16, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
So it's a move and he removed my comment? Bob seems to think that's vandalism. Why is this still titled as if I started it? I consider that impersonation, which is another count of vandalism. -- To know the face of God is to know madness....Praise knowledge! Mischief! Mayhem! The Rogues Gallery!. <== DDR Approved Editor 20:19, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
FFS... "Did you just report yourself for misconduct? Do you remember what I said about reading the page before you posted? -- To know the face of God is to know madness....Praise knowledge! Mischief! Mayhem! The Rogues Gallery!. <== DDR Approved Editor 20:05, 27 December 2009 (UTC)" - From previous mispost on A/M. Nothing to be done! 20:22, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
Great, can we now deal with him changing the header? As he's changed it without note it makes my comment nonsensical and is therefore yet another count of impersonation. -- To know the face of God is to know madness....Praise knowledge! Mischief! Mayhem! The Rogues Gallery!. <== DDR Approved Editor 20:25, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
He did exactly what you asked him to do. Stop being a fucking pedant. By the way this comment and yours now count as notice that the header once read "Iscariot vs Taco2" and now is in reverse. Nothing to be done! 20:32, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
Spot who's gotten snotty with power. I await him to progress with the case, as he can't even start a case in the correct manner I shall sit back and wait for the comedy to start. -- To know the face of God is to know madness....Praise knowledge! Mischief! Mayhem! The Rogues Gallery!. <== DDR Approved Editor 20:39, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
Or, you know, who understands manners. Anyway, he's progressed. He asked for an apology and for you to let him be. If you don't want to give him either, start naming arbitrators. Nothing to be done! 20:41, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
It appears I'm just an innocent bystander in this person's angry vengeful crusade against some people in charge here. I apologize for whatever page I may have inadvertantly messed up. It wasn't purposeful. But, whatever it is I did, I am quite sure that it can't be in any way as disruptive as letting this person go around and leave his foul and abusive grafitti on new user's talk pages. I have a child and we were having fun playing this, but I don't want her to read this kind of stuff, especially having someone call her mother a "cunt." Can it please be hidden in some way. Thank you.--Taco2 20:42, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
It's perfectly acceptable for you, or any user, to remove comments on their own talk pages, as those are considered personal spaces for their owners. If you wish to censor or remove anything you don't wish on your talk page, you're perfectly within your bounds to do so. Nothing to be done! 20:47, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
If you want to take a screen capture of it as evidence, go ahead. My daughter isn't here today. I'll wait until you tell me to delete it. BTW, you are very professional and I appreciate your assistance. You restore my interest in continuing to participate with my UD Wiki activity. I hope I can do so without any further harassment from this individual. Happy Holidays again!--Taco2 20:53, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
Go ahead and do it now. All pages have a history of logs, so we can access previous versions of a page should we need to. Nothing to be done! 20:59, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
What would you seek as the result of this arbitration? Mutual barring from each others' talk pages and from non-vital response to each others' comments elsewhere seems to me a good compromise. If both parties want to agree to this off the bat we can settle this, if not you'll both need to decide on an arbitrator to settle things in more detail. Nothing to be done! 20:13, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
Hello, I don't know who this person is. I would like an apology (but I doubt I will get that). So, if there is a way to stop this person from harassing me any further, that would be acceptable to me. P.S. I never left any messages on this person's page. And it seems that they just revel in abusing new people and I'm just a new target. Seems to me the kind of person that likes to pull the legs off spiders. I'm a woman, by the way. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Peace on Earth and Goodwill toward men and women.--Taco2 20:16, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
Yeah, happy new year and all that. If you wish to have him barred from your talk page, then this is the place to do so. I offer to arbitrate in this case.-- Adward  21:23, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

I offer to Arbitrate. personally, I'd recommend Mis, because he's been going along with this case, but he isn't on the list of arbies, so he may not want to. I also doubt Iscariot will let him.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 22:01, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

I believe I'll take a page from MisterGame's play book and not accept Mis, Drawde or Yonnua as arbitrator. -- To know the face of God is to know madness....Praise knowledge! Mischief! Mayhem! The Rogues Gallery!. <== DDR Approved Editor 22:24, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

Great idea, works too, at least you eventually gave up out of an obvious disinterest. This case isn't necessary anyways, unless you somehow have the need to continue to contact her (don't). --Umbrella-White.pngThadeous OakleyUmbrella-White.png 22:46, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

I hate everyone and would LOVE for a few people needing arbies to pick me, as no one ever does. PLEASE PICK ME GUYS I KNOW THE DAMN TALK PAGE RULES AND PRECEDENTS.-- ¯\(°_o)/¯ 13:42, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

I reject you as arbitrator on grounds that you hate me. -- To know the face of God is to know madness....Praise knowledge! Mischief! Mayhem! The Rogues Gallery!. <== DDR Approved Editor 05:00, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
I accept your rejection with a heavy heart and a sad soul.-- ¯\(°_o)/¯ 11:56, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

I will also volunteer to arbitrate. --Maverick Talk - OBR Praise Knowledge! 404 06:49, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

Me too, though I expect to witness the second coming of Christ, as an atheist, before Iscariot accepts me.--Umbrella-White.pngThadeous OakleyUmbrella-White.png 23:36, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

Also, I have asked Taco2 about the continuation of this case. This to prevent this case to sit inactive for a month, as happened in the past. --Umbrella-White.pngThadeous OakleyUmbrella-White.png 23:42, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

I offer to arbitrate. -- Cheese 23:59, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

I offer to arbitrate as well. Also, I suggest that if both parties agree to arbitration but refuse to select an arbitrator in a timely manner, an arbitrator should be chosen by an uninvolved sysop from among the many users who have already volunteered. Arbitration shouldn't be circumvented by a staunch refusal by either party to select a willing and qualified candidate for arbitration.--GANG Giles Sednik CAPD 19:05, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
