Alexia Death

:I have a recent ArbCom ruling about me. The case in itself gave me an introspect on what ArbCom tries do be and where it fails. At this moment, the process(not the people) of ArbCom is faulty and conflicting with Wikipedia ideology in many ways. One of those is the concept of prevention over punishment. It is not prevention when you slap everybody around and simply ignore the root issues that make problems like this come to ArbCom again and again. People who end up at ArbCom are all dedicated editors, but they need to be told what is acceptable and what is not, not blocked or restricted for long periods. A month block or an actual enforcement of WP:CIVIL policy at the right time can save a lot of trouble for everybody later without actually driving anybody away. Another part of it is passing judgment and showing involvement on ANY issue raised. My case showed that inconvenient issues were simply ignored, motions looked over without a single comment etc. People who end up at ArbCom need somebody to judge and to pass judgment with authority. I wish to bring that change. Thank you. Alexia Death the Grey 07:09, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

I have withdrawn my candidacy due to real life issues and other projects taking up most of my time, and I do not wish to waste anyones time. To be quite honest, I never expected to win. Rather, my candidacy was an attempt to make people think about quick fixes and permanent solutions. I thank everybody who voted for me, your agreement with my ideas shows that sanity has not gone out of the world. Those who voted against me, I hope you will find something in my ideas that you can support, if a more deserving person steps forward, because I do believe they hold the key for a better Wikipedia. --Alexia Death the Grey (talk) 09:13, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

    Support I don't care if people say you're too new. We need more people in ArbCom who actually think creatively and constructively rather than joining the country club. Nobody of Consequence (talk) 18:47, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

  85. Oppose Last I heard from candidate was "There are more rewarding projects calling out to me and my time is limited"[1]. While I appreciate openness, I need to see some willingness to commitment. Moreover, I'm somewhat miffed that the candidate couldn't make eir mind up before hundreds of people are forced to make an informed decision. — Sebastian 00:15, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

  96. Heart probably in the right place (that is to say, I'm certain the user wants to be an arbitrator for the right reasons rather than the wrong ones), but a combination of inexperience and the ArbCom ruling against her is concerning enough to oppose.

  104. I must say that a brief examination of the candidate and of her answers to (certain, at least, of) the questions leave me a good bit less inclined to oppose than first I was when I saw Alexia on the candidate list, but there remain some significant concerns. Joe 05:40, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
