Guild Wars Wiki:Arbitration committee/2008-07-09-User:Super Igor

This page was created due to this request for arbitration by Erasculio.

Issue at hand

User:Super Igor stands accused of repeatedly trolling the wiki.

Decision about accepting the case for arbitration

The case for or against acceptance is on the discussion page.

• Decline - I have seen nothing to indicate the situation/person cannot be dealt with just as effectively and much more efficiently by the sysops than by an ArbComm case. The sysops are already fully empowered to deal with grey-area situations, such as a user toeing the line of the letter of policy to break the spirit of it (which I believe is Erasculio's concern), as they believe is best. Just because the sysops have not taken drastic action so far (it is worth noting that, as of this writing, the user has been banned twice since the ArbComm request was created) does not mean that they cannot, nor that they will not as they believe the situation warrants. I feel it's best to leave it in the hands of the sysops for now - Tanetris 19:32, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
• Decline - The user does not (successfully) wikilawyer or find loopholes in policy wide enough to support his actions. He doesn't really pose a gray-area case, as his trolling attempts are quite obvious. If his trolling methods become more refined, a future ArbComm might be required, but as of now, sysops can keep dolling out additional bans when he steps out of line. However, sysops shouldn't be afraid of dolling out the 3- and 6-monthers if his behavior doesn't improve - Arbcomm cases aren't required for really long ban lengths. -Auron 08:29, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
