Over the last two years, Tony's average gap in editing has been 4.9 days. He's has 52 gaps in that same time period of 5 days or more. ArbCom was in a damned rush to desysop him and, given his low editing rate, never gave him a chance to respond in the way they wanted. Please, don't sit there and tell us what a damned shame it is he didn't respond when ArbCom had to have known (or if they didn't, exercised a high level of incompetence) how inactive he is. I'm so glad ArbCom stepped in to avert utter catastrophe here. There was obvious imminent danger to the project given Tony hadn't used admin privileges in 17 months. Please, enough with creating a steaming pile of filth and feeding it to us while telling us it's ambrosia. The utter disrespect and contempt shown for an editor who has contributed so much to this project is absolutely appalling. ArbCom should be thoroughly embarrassed in their behavior, but of course will defend it tooth and nail. Whether or not Tony should have been desysopped is an utterly minuscule issue to the contempt ArbCom has shown. The shame here is ArbCom. --<a href="/wiki/User:Hammersoft" title="User:Hammersoft">Hammersoft</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Hammersoft" title="User talk:Hammersoft">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration_Committee/Noticeboard#c-Hammersoft-20241108160500-HJ_Mitchell-20241108114300" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">16:05, 8 November 2024 (UTC)</a>[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>] <dl><dd>Words fail me.

Outside of a handful of cases, defending oneself at ArbCom cases has no benefit. It is a waste of time. If you don't respond, you're desysopped. If you do respond, but don't defend at the case, you're desysopped. If you do respond and you do defend, you're desysopped. In almost every case spending time to respond/defend yields being desysopped. So please explain what benefit spending hours upon hours reading everything in the case against you and then spending hours and hours trying to defend yourself is of some benefit? I consider my advice to be excellent advice; it is an utter waste of time to defend yourself, as case after case after case after case has shown. I see no reason to change it. I'd be happy to change it if evidence spoke otherwise; but it doesn't. You were on ArbCom for two years.

I don't think any reassurances about it being a one off should be sufficient to allow them to keep their admin bit. We should remember that although those of us in the know may understand someone being an admin doesn't really give them much power over us; many new editors will not understand this and if made to feel uncomfortable in that way will just bear it or leave since they don't know better. We should remember there is a reason why sexual harassment is such a problem, something often missed by those in power guilty of it. Even if they are great people who can magically put aside their personal feelings and would never cause anyone harm by being rejected or confronted over their inappropriate language, very often their victims will have no idea this is the case, and even if they believe it may be the case, they might not want to risk being wrong; therefore they are forced to tolerate stuff they never should. Even for those who do have some understanding that having the admin bit doesn't mean they can do much, many will feel if that's something we tolerate with admins, it's not a community I ever want to be part of and rightfully so. I supported recalls but have felt the process has so far been a bit of a disaster in many ways. But if arbcom had allowed them to keep that bit, I would have brought a recall as soon as possible if no one else did. Besides losing the admin bit, IMO they should have been indeffed until and unless they satisfactorily reassure at least an admin if not the community that it will never be repeated. Yes they've done a lot of great work but we should never tolerate stuff which is beyond the pale just because of great work. I don't feel it's worth being up a cban discussion for many reasons including that this will undoubtedly bring too much focus on Tony's victim which is clearly unfair but always happens. But the idea Tony was hard done by is laughable. BTW I saw this earlier but decided not to comment, what's done is done and as said I'm not suggesting to do anything different and as much as I am horrified by what they said, I don't support any sort of public shaming or <a href="/wiki/Struggle_session" title="Struggle session">struggle session</a>.

This was discussed in the case request but basically the victim has a Google Scholar link on their user page and this profile has photo. So "on Google" probably just means that Tony followed that link. That said, while it's not quite as bad, commenting even on an on Wikipedia photo would still be highly inappropriate. And even when an editor has voluntarily linked to some offsite profile it's even more inappropriate when it's offsite. Also while I agree with the general point on multiple victims, in this case without further evidence and considering if it's on wiki it's not something that is likely to be hidden I'm personally fine with saying it's we should treat it as the only time this happened in a long career. I still feel this is enough to justify an indef since it's well accepted that there are certain things which are bad enough that even one case is enough that the editor can be indeffed and needs to convince someone to allow them back depending on the type of ban or block. In the case of a community ban discussion, it may be that the editor is able to convince us that it won't be repeated before the cban discussion ends and so is never cbanned. But the point is in some cases we don't just say, well the editor hasn't commented but it also hasn't repeated so we'll just let it slide unless there's evidence for more. While we apply this less to regular editors, even regular editors will sometimes find themselves indefed until they are able to convince someone to allow them back. Perhaps it's true this is very rarely applied to editors with a very high level of great contributions (<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:UNBLOCKABLES" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:UNBLOCKABLES">WP:UNBLOCKABLES</a>) but I don't think that's right. If the behaviour is severe enough we should treat them the same. Rather than just assuming it won't be repeated, require the editor to convince someone. I didn't comment on the timing but IMO while it's been a while it's not so long that it's something we should just ignore given the severity. And it's also within their 40 most recent contributions so it's not like they've done a lot more since then. I can understand that this might be the tail end of a long series of great contributions, but we are where we are. Also to clarify my comments I also became aware of the case request a while before it close but after the comment was part of the mix. I considered but ultimately didn't comment there either since while I wasn't sure I entirely agreed with the approach I decided it wasn't bad enough that it was worth getting involved in. And to be clear, I'm not saying any action is neded against Hammersoft over what they said. I do think they should appreciate that if they're going to effectively defend what some may find very wrong; then it's likely others will push back on that even if it means calling out the editor when we felt it better to just let it be as an acceptable outcome of highly problematic situation. In other words, they should consider what they say affects not just arbcom or them, but it might also affect the person they are trying to defend. P.S. I'll mention that when thinking about this more, there is two things I can think of where I feel it was fine for Tony to keep the arbcom bit. One is if they were on some sort of medication or something that seriously impaired their judgment and they could provide sufficient reassurances it won't be repeated. Two is if it was a case of someone else using their computer. Both of these are sufficiently unlikely that I sitll don't think arbcom needed to wait. <a href="/wiki/User:Nil_Einne" title="User:Nil Einne">Nil Einne</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Nil_Einne" title="User talk:Nil Einne">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration_Committee/Noticeboard#c-Nil_Einne-20241109074600-I_dream_of_horses-20241109044700" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">07:46, 9 November 2024 (UTC)</a>[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>] <dl><dd>@<a href="/wiki/User:Nil_Einne" title="User:Nil Einne">Nil Einne</a> Thank you for the explanation.

So @<a href="/wiki/User:Hammersoft" title="User:Hammersoft">Hammersoft</a> all your comments about his editing history (above, at Arbcom and on his Talk Page) are completely irrelevant. Whether or not he followed your repeated advice not to participate is anyone's guess until he chooses to comment. If he had chosen to engage and recognized and addressed the issues then it seems likely that he could have got away with admonishment, at least until his inappropriate comment came to light, but that then swung Arbcom to desysop.</li> <li>Various comments were made about Marine 69-71 being an inactive admin, doing little harm to the project and that the Arbcom and desysopping somehow was disrespectful to his contributions over the years. If an Admin isn't active they should voluntarily give up the mop, several users recommended that Marine do just that at Arbcom and on his Talk Page and its not like its the first time someone had said it to him: <a class="external autonumber" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Marine_69-71&diff=next&oldid=1069127142">[4]</a>, but he did nothing for whatever reason(s). He has only misused the tools for his own benefit and ignored many of the most basic rules and requirements that would be expected of any user let alone an Admin. Admin is a position of responsibility to protect and advance the project, its not a knighthood or lifetime appointment, if you misuse the position you lose it. Marine 69-71's actions led to the Arbcom and his desysopping, he had many opportunities to defend himself and mitigate the fallout but didn't take any of them. <a href="/wiki/User:Mztourist" title="User:Mztourist">Mztourist</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Mztourist" title="User talk:Mztourist">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration_Committee/Noticeboard#c-Mztourist-20241109081100-I_dream_of_horses-20241109074900" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">08:11, 9 November 2024 (UTC)</a>[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>]</li></ul> <dl><dd><dl><dd>I agree.

Indeed I specifically worded my reply to take into account what you said. The simple fact is, whatever you want to call it, you clearly do not think Marine's 69-71's disgusting comment was as severe as it was. As I said, even the committee did not treat it severely enough IMO, but they did not downplay it as much as you did. Given the level you downplayed it, I felt it fully justified to speak my mind on how bad their comment was and how much it made them completely unfit to be an admin, whatever they may have said (with a very few odd exceptions which I said were very unlikely). As I said, in fact it's at the level where they really should have been indeffed until we can be assured it isn't happening again, simply the lack of any previous history is not sufficient for something that bad. As I also said, I felt this from the get go, but didn't say it because it just came across as unnecessarily attacking Tony when I wasn't planning to do anything further. But since you chose to say what you said, I felt compelled so speak up as I did. <a href="/wiki/User:Nil_Einne" title="User:Nil Einne">Nil Einne</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Nil_Einne" title="User talk:Nil Einne">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration_Committee/Noticeboard#c-Nil_Einne-20241114060100-Hammersoft-20241109115300" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">06:01, 14 November 2024 (UTC)</a>[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>] <dl><dd>BTW, as to how this plays into what arbcom did, while they apparently did imagine a scenario where Tony could keep the bit, it seems fair to them that they also felt given the severity, it was very far from guaranteed and if Tony wanted to keep it it was incumbent on them to pay attention to the case. There's no reason why arbcom should go out of their way for someone who has said something so terrible even if they could envisage a scenario where if the person said the right things perhaps it would be enough to sway them. Ultimately Tony made the comment and while it may be 4 months ago, and I'm sure the problem is they didn't understand why what they did was so wrong, the harms what they do with their weight as an admin don't follow Tony's schedule. In fact, since it's likely Tony didn't even understand that this is a scenario where they would need to be available ASAP when they made the comment, and probably didn't even understand why them being an admin was actually a real big deal when it seemed like a simple comment to another editor; there's all the more reason to say, 'while we have sympathies for them not possibly being unavailable, since even in a case where they had some reason to be available (the arbcom case) but still weren't available, this adds to the need to act'. (Of course this assume that it was simply that they weren't available. For all we know they chose to do what you suggested whether by your suggestion or their own volition and decided not take further part in the case. Which is their choice but means it was entirely fair for arbcom to act.) Incidentally, while I personally probably would have just left it be, I wouldn't be surprised if it was several weeks later and arbcom hadn't done anything waiting for a response from Tony, that someone else would have started either a recall or a cban proposal so there was urgency for arbcom to act decisively on that front too. <a href="/wiki/User:Nil_Einne" title="User:Nil Einne">Nil Einne</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Nil_Einne" title="User talk:Nil Einne">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration_Committee/Noticeboard#c-Nil_Einne-20241114062300-Nil_Einne-20241114060100" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">06:23, 14 November 2024 (UTC)</a>[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>] <dl><dd>If you want to insist that I was somehow defending what Marine 69-71 said, that's your business.

I'm not gonna throw anyone under the bus or disclaim responsibility either.

I think we need to be more rigorous with that process in the future, which may mean formal voting not only at the end, but also to advance people to the funcs consult.

After my terms on the Committee I am fully empathetic to the arbitrators' dilemma of being unable to disclose the non-public reasons for decisions, and I know so are many of the others, including ex-arbs, who have commented above; but in this instance, I am hard-pressed to imagine what that information might possibly be. (I am frankly glad that this decision was posted today rather than yesterday, as if I'd seen it yesterday, it might well have led me to become an ArbCom candidate again this year, which would have been a mistake.)

I'm sure there's reasons to not include Bishonen in those appointed, but frankly I'm going to echo a comment above that it feels like the community's consultation on the candidates is sort of...not well-represented. The committee determined that Bishonen was good to go until the end of consultations, during which Bishonen received a heavy showing of support (comparatively, but these also don't get that much participation in the first place), so presumably should have been appointed. I, personally, would expect the committee to have vetted those they're putting up for community consultations already, and to have gotten through any concerns by that point. <a href="/wiki/User:EggRoll97" title="User:EggRoll97">EggRoll97</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:EggRoll97" title="User talk:EggRoll97">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration_Committee/Noticeboard#c-EggRoll97-20241114061000-Newyorkbrad-20241113214200" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">06:10, 14 November 2024 (UTC)</a>[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>] <dl><dd>I would agree it seems weird that arbcom would put someone up for consultation if they already knew something which was likely enough to keep them from the role. And if it was something they found by themselves barring the odd exception they really should have found whatever it was already. However it is possible that this happened because community consultations worked as they should. I assume arbcom does consider private feedback if there's some reason why it should be private, I mean the decision is private. I guess it's also possible that arbcom expected some thing the community said could reassure them about their concerns but the feedback wasn't quite it. Which does seem a bit weird here but might still be possible if it's something specific. But I can also understand that since I guess the final deliberations are much more detailed; there might be those odd cases where they felt there's enough chance the person would pass final deliberations especially with good positive feedback, that it was worth putting them up. But in the end they didn't pass. I do agree it might be worth arbcom preparing feedback which they can send on request even if this does mean work which might be unnecessary. Barring that, being clearer in their rejection something like, 'we can provide feedback on why we made this decision, if you wish; but please understand it may take a week or more as it's not prepared and would need the further discussion by the committee on what we send'? <a href="/wiki/User:Nil_Einne" title="User:Nil Einne">Nil Einne</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Nil_Einne" title="User talk:Nil Einne">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration_Committee/Noticeboard#c-Nil_Einne-20241114063600-EggRoll97-20241114061000" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">06:36, 14 November 2024 (UTC)</a>[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>] <dl><dd>The process is posted at <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee/Conflict_of_interest_reports" title="Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Conflict of interest reports">Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Conflict of interest reports</a>.

I think consensus-based processes tend to make "individuals taking stewardship/leadership" quite difficult, but where it does happen (eg Novem's leadership of AELECT) it has good results. So IMO, there's not really any reason why the queue *needs* ArbCom to run, or even best runs under ArbCom's management.

And my experience with past ArbCom cases is that those sorts of big-picture "interpret how this all fits into a big picture" musings rarely go anywhere - ArbCom likes concrete evidence. It's difficult to boil "how does this connect to a broader backlash against inclusion and diversity" into a list of diffs, and even when individual diffs can be found it's hard to translate that into something actionable. Trying to connect the individual disputes being focused on here (which are at least notionally about narrow unrelated facts and how we cover them) to that broader backlash also inevitably involves squinting at editors' actions and statements and trying to read inevitably battleground-y / tendentious intent into them, which risks running afoul of <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:ASPERSIONS" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:ASPERSIONS">WP:ASPERSIONS</a> and is often just unclear. It's the age-old problem - proving that someone has been uncivil, or has edit-warred, or bludgeoned, or has done something else that is obvious from a single diff is easy. Proving that someone is guilty of <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:BATTLEGROUND" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:BATTLEGROUND">WP:BATTLEGROUND</a> / <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:CIVILPOV" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:CIVILPOV">WP:CIVILPOV</a> / <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:TEND" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:TEND">WP:TEND</a> editing is very hard, even though those are often the real reason a broader topic area is the way it is. So cases inevitably zoom in to focus on the individual nitty-gritty of the individual edits people made, and largely ignores the broader, more difficult question of why they made them. --<a href="/wiki/User:Aquillion" title="User:Aquillion">Aquillion</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Aquillion" title="User talk:Aquillion">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration_Committee/Noticeboard#c-Aquillion-20241114150100-Thryduulf-20241114003900" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">15:01, 14 November 2024 (UTC)</a>[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>] <dl><dd>@<a href="/wiki/User:Aquillion" title="User:Aquillion">Aquillion</a>: What you described is precisely what caused <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/C68-FM-SV" title="Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/C68-FM-SV">the Omnibus Case</a> to become unstuck when they decided to merge a second, unrelated-save-for-behaviour, dispute into it.

There really were unique problems with Yasuke right now that the community had repeatedly failed to solve which weren't present at any other article. So I feel like ArbCom's original belief that the case was going to be broader wasn't well founded from the beginning: just because it seems like a disruption is caused by some bigger cause doesn't mean that other articles are actually being disrupted, and so therefore doesn't mean that evidence outside of the topic at hand will actually be presented.</dd> <dd>I'm reasonably confident that at some point in the future the Gamergaters are going to find some other topic of derision and we'll be back here again, and it's then that this CTOP will be expanded.</dd> <dd>I am also confused by why ArbCom completely ignored some of the parties, though.

I think one of the issues is that while there are some problems most of them are low level enough that they are hard to make a case for something more. And when there are problems very often they cross over into the gender-related dispute topic area enough that it can be handled that way even if there is some stuff that doesn't so it isn't ideal. AFAIK, the highest level problems besides Yasuke recently was <a href="/wiki/Sweet_Baby_Inc." title="Sweet Baby Inc.">Sweet Baby Inc.</a>. But while that did need ANI etc at times, it seemed to die out fast enough that there weren't extended problems and so was basically a dead issue on Wikipedia by the time of Yasuke. It probably helped that there was enough that came under the gender dispute umbrella that GG was usable most of the time. For example the article is ECP. I suspect most general articles will be similar since it's most of the fuss tends to cover diversity in all forms. It's only when you get to specific games etc that you might have something completely uncovered. And even for specific games it's often included. For example, I wondered whether there'd be something at <a href="/wiki/Dustborn" title="Dustborn">Dustborn</a>, but it was low level enough that it didn't really need anything I think, but in any case also comes under GG at least in part. From what I've heard of Dragon Age, fairly sure that would be too. <a href="/wiki/User:Nil_Einne" title="User:Nil Einne">Nil Einne</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Nil_Einne" title="User talk:Nil Einne">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration_Committee/Noticeboard#c-Nil_Einne-20241114064900-LilianaUwU-20241113231100" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">06:49, 14 November 2024 (UTC)</a>[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>] <dl><dd>I feel like Yasuke was a strange outlier in terms of the amount of activity directed to it. While the article did catch the attention of GamerGate, the problem was a much wider reaching one. Yasuke's inclusion in Assassin's Creed Odyssey was just a catalyst that generated a strange firestorm far across the internet, beyond even the scope of strictly GG as people took more and more umbrage with the historical figure Yasuke and works of scholarship surrounding him. It became presented to some as not just an issue of a video game, but of re-writing history. That fact drew in, and still draws in, folks from beyond GG and into the depths of the Japanese right-wing internet circles at large. <a href="/wiki/User:BrocadeRiverPoems" title="User:BrocadeRiverPoems">Brocade River Poems (She/They)</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration_Committee/Noticeboard#c-BrocadeRiverPoems-20241114114900-Nil_Einne-20241114064900" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">11:49, 14 November 2024 (UTC)</a>[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>] <dl><dd>You mean <a href="/wiki/Assassin%27s_Creed_Shadows" title="Assassin's Creed Shadows">Shadows</a>, right? <a href="/wiki/Assassin%27s_Creed_Odyssey" title="Assassin's Creed Odyssey">Odyssey</a> is in the wrong time period and region. —<a href="/wiki/User:J%C3%A9sk%C3%A9_Couriano" title="User:Jéské Couriano">Jéské Couriano</a> <a href="/wiki/User_talk:J%C3%A9sk%C3%A9_Couriano" title="User talk:Jéské Couriano">v^_^v</a> <a href="/wiki/User:J%C3%A9sk%C3%A9_Couriano/AG" class="mw-redirect" title="User:Jéské Couriano/AG">threads</a> <a href="/wiki/User:J%C3%A9sk%C3%A9_Couriano/Decode" title="User:Jéské Couriano/Decode">critiques</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration_Committee/Noticeboard#c-Jéské_Couriano-20241115194600-BrocadeRiverPoems-20241114114900" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">19:46, 15 November 2024 (UTC)</a>[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>] <dl><dd>Yes, I meant Shadows.

Admins already have discretion so I hope they wouldn't sanction editors for exceeding a word limit by posting quotes from sources but similarly, if the remedies need fine-tuning to help discussions function effectively, we can look at that. And personally I welcome new ideas for helping the topic area to function.

If he had chosen to engage and recognized and addressed the issues then its likely that he could have got away with admonishment, until his inappropriate comment came to light, which then swung Arbcom to desysop. He has only misused the tools for his own benefit and ignored many of the most basic rules and requirements that would be expected of any user let alone an Admin. Admin is a position of responsibility to protect and advance the project, its not a knighthood or lifetime appointment, if you misuse the position you lose it.
