ScottishFinnishRadish has had mercy on the arbs and saved them from their own incompetence.

Is it just me, or is this a sign of the growing feeding frenzies of would-be enforcers who pile into any governance issues these days (rather than spending their time working on encyclopedia content)?

During the case I inquired of asked some of the other Arbs of what they thought of Wugapodes’ behavior. Privately, they told me that they had concerns as well and that I should raise them.
