Slim ownership of WP:V Options

[papaya]

After a loooong, drawn out compromise session, Blueboar comes up with a new formula to blunt the "not truth" dumb line, so when the discussion dies down and someone moves to close the discussion a few days early, SV seizes the opportunity to turn the whole thing on its head and attempt to force the whole process to start over.

Everyone seems to forget ArbCom's twin sister, MedCom. Jimbo set the two of them up at the same time, ArbCom for behavior, MedCom for content. MedCom is not binding so people tend to overlook it.

Everyone seems to forget ArbCom's twin sister, MedCom. Jimbo set the two of them up at the same time, ArbCom for behavior, MedCom for content. MedCom is not binding so people tend to overlook it.

Take a look at Arbcom's job description; you'll see (unless it's been changed lately) that Arbcom's brief is stated to include "complex content issues", at least in theory. In practice it's a different story. As for mediation: that can be a complete waste of time: named parties can simply refuse to participate, and the applicant can't do anything about it -- except endure the dispute dragging on interminably, or until it ends up at Arbcom, where the dispute is "resolved" eventually by banning the compainant.
