Or not. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=..._by_Ottava_Rima But time has passed so you may get another chance from Arbcom.

You obviously haven't bothered to follow my case at all. Asking for the standard offer is what caused them to change my block from 1 year to indefinite. They were supposed to come up with terms of "probation" after 6 months and the terms they came up with was "never allowed to ever edit again." It only gets worse and worse witht he new set of Arbs as many of them are more problematic then the previous group. Michael QUOTE Perhaps you're joking Only a perhaps? Gesh. You obsess over all things ArbCom related. Of course it is a joke. >.< This post has been edited by Ottava:

QUOTE(Ottava @ Sun 11th November 2012, 11:30pm) Here, Michael, I will salvage your thread by making it interesting.
How about someone ask the following question: Do you believe the Ottava Rima case was handled appropriately to begin with, after the one year mark, and currently? Do you think the approach by the ArbCom vs the approach by the Community is related to the current problems Wikipedia has in attracting high quality content editors compared to those with a history of trouble and without the same level of content that was kept because of factional reasons?
Wikipedia's founding community created a techno-anarchist, ultra-libertarian, ultra-egalitarian, quasi-communist, and anti-intellectual society. It's a strange place for academics and writers used to a more structured academic and professional environment. The dispute resolution process (of which Arbcom is a part) is not to solve the underlying cultural, moral, and philosophical problems that plague the project. Their purpose is to stop "disorder," i.e., anyone that causes people to be upset. If you, Malleus, Giano, or anyone else cause "problems" by pointing out issues and upsetting people, the goal of the community will be to get rid of you as a troublemaker and ignore the deeper issues. I studied a major textile labor strike while in college. It amazed me how the media, the textile owners, and the local government never thought to research or investigate the reasons for the workers striking. They just assumed they were indoctrinated by "foreign agitators," Yankees, and communists. The workers were causing "disorder" and had to be crushed. I'm not comparing all the arbitrators, administrators, and other bigwigs on Wikipedia as being "strike breakers," but they are a part of system that punishes those that do not fit in with Wikipedia's culture, even if those "troublemakers" are right.It's a sad story that has been and continues to be told. (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/sad.gif) I guess that means Ottava is like Eugene V. Debs (T-H-L-K-D)? (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/unsure.gif)

The nomination process has ended.
The incumbents David Fuchs, Elen of the Roads, Jclemens, and Newyorkbrad are seeking new terms. Casliber, PhilKnight, SirFozzie, and Xeno aren't seeking reelection.
Former Arbitrators Carcharoth and Coren are seeking to return to ArbCom.
The non-sysops running in this year's election are Count Iblis, Pgallert, and YOLO Swag. All other candidates have the powers and responsibilities of sysops.
The candidates that I haven't named yet are Beeblebrox, Guerillero, Jc37, Keilana, Ks0stm, Kww, NuclearWarfare, RegentsPark, Richwales, Salvio giuliano, Timotheus Canens, and Worm That Turned.
Feel free to share your feelings on these candidates.

In order of people who should be there (I'll do a top 6). 1. Casliber 2. David Fuchs 3. NuclearWarfare 4. Elen of the Roads 5. Xeno 6. No one (there are too many now anyway).

I am leaning toward just voting for Worm That Turned and Newyorkbrad but IMHO the ArbCom Reform Party platform has promise. Some of you may recall YOLO Swag (fmrly NWA.Rep) ran last year. He was bullied and subsequently quit the project.

How many heated situations has YOLO Swag defused? I didn't like the way the Wikipedians were treating YOLO Swag last year: http://wikipediareview.com/index.php?act=findpost&pid=290396http://wikipediareview.com/index.php?act=findpost&pid=290721http://wikipediareview.com/index.php?act=findpost&pid=292787But I don't believe that YOLO Swag would make a good Arbitrator for reasons that should be obvious. For starters, he or she doesn't handle pressure well. The mere fact that the other ArbCom Reform party candidate Count Iblis is encouraging people to vote for YOLO Swag shows that Count Iblis wouldn't be a good Arbitrator either. Count Iblis is asking people to vote along party lines instead of voting for the most skillful candidates. The ArbCom Reform party isn't offering any good candidates this year.

He won't get elected, but while reading the answers of the questions he replied so far, it's surprisingly well and valid. The other red flag with the other ArbCom Reform Party candidate Count Iblis is he or she has not answered any of the questions. In fact, he has not even made one single edit since making his candidate statement.
