Coren's retired Options

[Nerd]

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

There should be. 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.
