QUOTE(Nerd @ Mon 6th July 2009, 2:25pm) Seems Coren has retired. He has moved himself to the former arbitrator list, but has yet to actually give up adminship, checkuser and oversight. Wonder what's up with him. To the best of my knowledge, there is no policy that even encourages resigning arbs to give up checkuser and oversight. And seeing as adminship is granted in a separate process from arbcom, I don't know why he would give it up. It would be like saying that if someone who is on MedCom and BAG resigns from MedCom, they also should resign from BAG. Oh and of the arbs to leave since Jan 2008, UninvitedCompany - Kept YellowMonkey - Kept Jpgordon - Kept Jdforrester - Kept Sam Blacketer - Didn't keep Charles Matthews - Didn't keep Morven - Didn't keep FT2 - Kept Paul August - Didn't keep Deskana - Kept This post has been edited by MBisanz:

If the 2010 Arbcom keeps the same policy that the 2009 Arbcom put in place this year (always a big "if"), then Coren's use of checkuser and oversight will be reviewed in a year to see whether he is active enough to justify retaining the access. Lots of editors "retire", few actually retire. This post has been edited by No one of consequence:

OT: how do people do the userlinks? [ wp ] [ /wp ] and [ wpuser ] [ /wpuser ] Without spaces, of course.

QUOTE(Kato @ Mon 6th July 2009, 4:05pm) Coren showed poor judgement, in my view. He showed poor judgement in his answers during the arbitration election questions phase. And he showed poor judgement by putting himself forward as an arbitrator (effectively a public position), knowing full well he had an internet past that could easily be used against him (and Wikipedia) by an inquisitive media already looking to expose senior Wikipedians. There was also the disgraceful matter of him continuing to take part in arbitration concerning the actions of Aitias when he had been deeply concerned in one of the scandals regarding Aitias' actions. That was also poor judgment on his part, and also on the parts of the other arbitrators who were either not doing their jobs properly (and hence did not know about his involvement), or else thought it not worthy of comment.

Being on ArbCom should mean prompt removal of these privileges as a matter of course. The real-life analogy should be obvious: the job description of judges does not include issuing tickets, arresting people or carrying guns. Only after an illustrious career on the committee said privs can be restored in some magnificent ceremony of pure light. Or perhaps they can just re-apply for the bit(s), letting their good deeds and selfless service do the talking.

I believe the ArbCom is more styled after the Judge Dredd form of justice.
