The Arbitrary Committee is now going after Betacommand/Δ for doing NFCC enforcement, and it looks like he'll be sanctioned this time.

There was a thread recently in ANI suggesting that since Betacommand refused to obey his sanctions, those sanctions should be lifted -- and this "argument" had substantial support from the usual NFCC suspects!

You mean the thread where "the usual NFCC suspects" correctly argued that it was pointless to restrict Beta from making more than 4 edits per minute?
