User:Geo.plrd/Arbcab

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This proposal has failed to attain consensus within the Wikipedia community. A failed proposal is one for which a consensus to accept is not present after a reasonable amount of time, and seems unlikely to form, regardless of continuing discussion.

I am considering creating a Arbitration Cabal. The Arbcab would be similar to small claims/magistrate's court and would render binding third opinions. If users can't resolve a content dispute through other means, they could file a case report with the Arbcab. By doing so, users would agree to abide by the decision. The case will be either accepted or rejected. If it is rejected, the parties will be directed to the appropriate avenue. If accepted, a restraining order will be issued. The assigned member will appoint an Advocate to represent the community, e.g. make sure the community's will (In the form of policies) is respected. After a one week period in which statements and comments can be filed, the member will render a opinion deciding the case, thus ending the dispute.

Feel free to leave constructive criticism on the talk page.
