MarkSweep has finally been brought to ArbCom. Ironically enough, by Ms Kelly Martin.

Guanaco, Everyking, and Karmafist are "unpopular" admins. Any admins who don't agree with the status quo, and are vocal enough about it, sometimes get hitlisted by the Cabal. It's obvious that Raul654 does not think highly of Guanaco. Everyking and Snowspinner Phil Sandifer have been in numerous disputes, and the Cabal thinks more highly of Phil than of Everyking. Look at some of the frequent personal attacks and uncivil statements that Phil makes, for instance. He is rarely ever warned for it, much less blocked.

On the other hand, were another user who was not a lapdog were to make such statements, they'd quite possibly be blocked without warning.

The Cabal makes decisions based on who they like and who they do not. The Cabal likes Marksweep. They do not like Guanaco.
