One case closed and two opened
Banning Policy was closed on 12 October. Arbcom affirmed that users have "considerable leeway" in terms of how their talk pages are managed. Users Tarc (talk · contribs), Smallbones (talk · contribs), and Hell in a Bucket (talk · contribs) were all warned to refrain from edit warring and making inflammatory comments. Tarc was also topic banned from editing any of the administrator's noticeboards or User talk:Jimbo Wales, and from reinstating any edits that were reverted because they were made by a banned user.
New cases
Two new cases have been opened since the last arbitration report. Gender Gap Task Force was opened on 2 October and is in its evidence phase until 17 October. Landmark Worldwide was opened on 16 October and is also currently in the evidence phase.
In brief
- A request for comment has been opened by Beeblebrox (talk · contribs) on the topic of reforming the Ban Appeals Subcommittee.
- There are current open requests for arbitration on the topics of the historicity of Jesus, gamergate, and global warming.
