Betacommand 3 (Week 13)
The Betacommand 3 case remained at the proposed decision phase this week. The case was opened to address the multitude of sanctions in effect on this editor. Until this week, none of the proposed remedies had garnered enough support to pass. However, a remedy detailing that the community sanctions are 'superseded' has garnered the support of a majority of arbitrators. The text of the remedy allows for voting on specific changes to sanctions "individually" but provides a clearer foundation for what is actually being amended.
Civility enforcement (Week 5)
This case, which has been one of the most active at present, was initially opened due to the actions of several administrators in relation to a user who was blocked over perceived incivility. The evidence and workshop pages were closed after submission deadlines passed. A proposed decision is due to be posted within days.
TimidGuy ban appeal (Week 7)
This case was brought to the Committee by an editor to appeal a site ban that was imposed by Jimmy Wales. The expected proposed decision, as mentioned in previous Signpost coverage, is yet to be posted. The tentative date for release had been 16 January, but has now been moved to the end of this month. This case had attracted a great deal of discussion on its workshop page.
