In other news, Drsmoo has been topic banned for a year and Nishidani warned against inflammatory language. Drsmoo retired a bit prior to the ban coming down. I was going to speculate about whether Drsmoo's account was going ot last any longer that Nishidani's. However, a scan of his last 500 contri...

I don't think Drsmoo likes me very much. I think he doesn't like me at all. Is it possible that he even dislikes me? :crying: https://64.media.tumblr.com/ca46a7f59f5945f17c4ebe43a9671b3d/tumblr_mmgj89nJow1r8q992o1_500.gif Edit: fixed link.

Of course it's a good thing. It is an outlet for the general public to contribute and for Wikipedia to pretend that "anyone can edit." IP editors have zero status and can be quickly stomped on if they misbehave.

Looks like a boomerang in store for Drsmoo while Nishidani gets the We're Not Anti-Semitic And Neither Are You Award from the Goyim Defense League. Or perhaps not.

It's official : Dovidroth is banned and topic banned. EytanMelech is banned and topic banned. Homerethegreat is topic banned. Did they ever resolve if they were going to show the emails to the accused? Nothing stands out in the million words on the motion page. Looks like they shrugged it off.

There are now majorities for full bans for Dovid and Eytan and a topic ban for Homere. Taking out three pro-Israel editors is a clear victory in the war of attrition.

Votes are coming in, and from the comments it seems as though Dovid took the opportunity given to respond to ArbCom privately, and did so unconvincingly. Eytan seems to have gone as silent there as he has here when confronted with evidence. Personally, think both of them could have ended up with ju...

It proves that the edit summaries were dictated by the banned editor. It proves that they were doing as they were told. These editors were set up.

Hey y'all. <snip> <snip> Only 2 votes have been given on my specific case rn, although both are in favor of permanently banning me from Wikipedia, which will definitely suck considering I've spent hundreds of hours writing 150 articles for the site over 6,000 edits. I may have to find a new hobby. ...

charliemouse

To me, the process is more important than the outcome. ARBCOM is using secret evidence in a non-standard proceeding and refusing to allow the accused to properly defend themselves. This is bad. It's worse than the conduct alleged. I agree wholeheartedly. I agree. "Privacy" is a bullshit excuse.

charliemouse

Looks like arbcom is handing out sitebans. What isn't clear is why they are sidebans, as usually canvass-related offences are not capital crimes. The evidence is secret due to "privacy," which is of course a big thing on Wikipedia. So we have to trust our elected officials.

Nableezy's appeal looks like it's got a small shot of success but more on ROPE/net-positive grounds than erroneous sanction grounds. Iennes' appeal has no chance. Also, the main reason admins tend not to unilaterally issue these kinds of sanctions, especially against long-term contributors, is that...

I think ScottishfinnishRaddish would have more credibility in Tban situations if he had a lengthier record of actually writing articles. Other than that, I don't see a problem witht he Tbans and they are not exactly unknown in I/P.

David Gerard has an official Foundation position?

Of Course. Drmies Does get carried Away with his AntiNazi crusade All times. What people have to remember is that it doesn't matter whether he was right on the merits or not. He should have backed away and let another admin step in. In all likelihood none would have done so, so he acted as he did b...

Just saw this. To me this is open and shut admin abuse, full stop. One of the best examples I've seen lately.

I noticed the paid contributor tag but am not seeing immediate evidence of that. Shouldn't be used on suspicion.

Weiss got his pardon. Article has been tagged and edited but is still a mess. Allegations of COI editing.
