Questions to the parties

Proposed final decision

Proposed principles

Decorum

1) Misplaced Pages users are expected to behave reasonably and calmly in their interactions with other users, to keep their cool when editing, and to avoid acting in a manner that brings the project into disrepute. Unseemly conduct—including, but not limited to, personal attacks, incivility, assumptions of bad faith, trolling, harassment, and gaming the system—is prohibited. Users should not respond to such behavior in kind; concerns regarding the actions of other users should be brought up in the appropriate forums.

Comment by Arbitrators:

Standard stuff. Kirill 04:26, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Editorial process

2) Misplaced Pages works by building consensus through the use of polite discussion. The dispute resolution process is designed to assist consensus-building when normal talk page communication has not worked. Sustained editorial conflict is not an appropriate method of resolving disputes.

Comment by Arbitrators:

More standard stuff. Kirill 04:26, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Purpose of Misplaced Pages

3) Misplaced Pages is a project to create a neutral encyclopedia. Use of the site for other purposes—including, but not limited to, advocacy, propaganda, furtherance of outside conflicts, and political or ideological struggle—is prohibited.

Comment by Arbitrators:

Even more standard stuff. Kirill 04:26, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Proposed findings of fact

RodentofDeath has engaged in significantly disruptive editing

1) RodentofDeath has made severe personal attacks against Susanbryce, has introduced serious WP:NPOV violations and original research into Misplaced Pages articles, has engaged in persistent, disruptive edit warring, and operates a single-purpose account employed primarily to edit articles related to Angeles City and human trafficking.

Comment by others:

Endorse, per statements by me in Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/RodentofDeath. / edg ☺ ☭ 14:11, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

RodentofDeath's username

2) RodentofDeath has an inappropriate, threatening username.

Comment by Arbitrators:

This is rather subjective, no? Kirill 04:27, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Comment by parties:

Proposed. John254 01:32, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

i have no particular need to keep this user name other than to preserve the continuity of my edit history and what is going on here.RodentofDeath (talk) 01:51, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Comment by others:

Oppose. Sillier usernames abound on Misplaced Pages. This username can only be considered threatening in the context of this user's actions, which should be the focus of this Arbitration. I suggest this red-herring issue be dropped. / edg ☺ ☭ 14:08, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Proposed remedies

Note: All remedies that refer to a period of time, for example to a ban of X months or a revert parole of Y months, are to run concurrently unless otherwise stated.

RodentofDeath banned

1) RodentofDeath (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is banned from editing Misplaced Pages indefinitely.

Comment by Arbitrators:

The Committee has traditionally limited bans to one year in duration. Kirill 04:27, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Comment by parties:

Proposed, per the RodentofDeath has engaged in significantly disruptive editing and RodentofDeath's username findings, as RodentofDeath's editing has been completely unacceptable, and cannot be permitted to continue under his present username in any event. If RodentofDeath were to change his username after a temporary ban, however, he might easily evade further sanctions by significantly reducing the awareness of his prior disruptive editing. Consequently, the only viable remedy to prevent further disruptive editing is to ban RodentofDeath permanently. John254 01:46, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Comment by others:

I support a ban, whether the duration is the customary one year or indefinite. MER-C 04:51, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

I've never really seen a good reason for that general self-imposed restriction of one year. Does anybody really entertain the hope this person is going to change within the next twelve months or cease their warfare? That may be realistic for puerile disruption by a fifteen-year old, but hardly in cases of hardened real-life crusaders like here. Anyway, if the committee wishes to uphold its one-year limit, let's have the sanctions proposed below concurrently. Fut.Perf. ☼ 07:16, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Indefinite topic ban

2) Rodentofdeath is banned indefinitely from any edits regarding Angeles City or prostitution/human trafficking in the Philippines. This includes contributions in all namespaces.

Proposed. If the committee wishes to uphold its traditional one-year limit on full bans (which, personally, I don't necessarily think it should), then at least let's have this part indef. Topic bans have traditionally included indef ones, and for much lesser amounts of disruption. Fut.Perf. ☼ 07:04, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

A topic ban here is equivalent to a site ban, as he has no edits outside this subject and shows no intention of making any. MER-C 12:48, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

not true, MER-C. see and more. The fact that i dont have time to edit other articles is due more to the abundance of errors inserted into Angeles City articles than it is anything else.RodentofDeath (talk) 02:52, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Restraining order

3) Rodentofdeath is placed under personal attacks parole indefinitely. In addition, he is banned from making any comments about or seeking interaction with Susanbryce.

Comment by Arbitrators:

Comment by parties:

not a problem. i've already refrained from commenting on her for several months, i believe. typically, the only interaction i have (and wish to have) is the posting of conflict of interest notices and such.RodentofDeath (talk) 02:55, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Comment by others:

Proposed. As above: if the committee wishes to uphold its traditional one-year limit on full bans, let's have at least this part indef. We have victims to protect here. He has been waging an online and real-life war against this person, evidently for a long time; there is absolutely no reason to expect he will have ceased that war in a year. Fut.Perf. ☼ 07:10, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Endorse. A parole set for one year will (by all evidence) result in attacks resuming within 367 days. Parole should be applied with particular attention to Talk space appeals made to other editors. RodentofDeath often impugns Susanbryce's edits by association by soapboxing about "activist groups" and "charities", as well as making attacks against unspecified persons who are obviously Susanbryce; such actions should not be treated as plausibly exempt from personal attacks parole. / edg ☺ ☭ 14:36, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Endorse also. Would this automatically include IP accounts? Addhoc (talk) 17:42, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

as i said above, i dont wish to comment on her. i do wish to inform you that it may not be worth the trouble to include IP accounts as i travel heavily and restricting IPs probably wont be worth the time and effort. it wont be a problem anyway as i plan to abide by any decisions made here.RodentofDeath (talk) 02:58, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
