*The problem with the arbitration system is the Arbitrators. Arbitrators need to realize what is a legitimate case and what isn't.

It's become clear through my observations that people have issues with arbitration and the misconduct systems and/or the people using it, yet we don't seem to be doing many things about it past highlighting the issue. I've created this open discussion in the hopes that we can get something accomplished, be it policy, guidelines, behaviour change or all of them.

Try to refrain from personal attacks and don't RE anyone in the problem sections.

Arbitration

Problem

Add what you think the problem(s) are, but keep it short and to the point.

  • It takes too long / can be drawn out.--  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 21:19, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
  • No problems with it. The only "problem" at the moment is that certain parties are taking great pleasure in abusing it. That's not a problem with the system. --Cyberbob 21:23, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
  • Yep, I agree with Cyberbob here. The problem is people aren't doing things in they way they're intended because it's not in their favor, and instead bitching about how it's not right.--SirArgo Talk 21:30, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
  • Too many loopholes, if a person doesnt want the case they just have to decline all arbitors.--'BPTmz 01:37, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

  • It can take time to get a clear ruling, particularly in cases that are grey areas. -- Cheese 21:22, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
  • No problems with it. The only "problem" at the moment is that certain parties are taking great pleasure in abusing it. That's not a problem with the system. --Cyberbob 21:23, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
  • See my comment above.--SirArgo Talk 21:31, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
