SSP is almost always one of our biggest backlogged areas and any help there is welcome. Normally the admin that blocks and tags cases will close it, but here he seems to have forgotten. All you need to do here is put {{tl|sspa}} above the == line on the Suspected sock puppets/Astutescholar subpage and a bot should archive it soon.

| It seems that a backlog may be developing in clarifications and other requests. ] is the oldest (almost 2 weeks old) but still does not have any arbitrator views, and I presume that's why the clerks have not archived it. Things are obviously beginning to queue up this month, but I think an update on the status is needed from an arb.

| :Although I have broken this rule in the past, I usually think that requests for clarification are best answered, in the first instance, by arbitrators who participated in deciding the case whose clarification is being sought. The Martinphi-ScienceApologist case was decided before I became an arbitrator or even really knew much about the arbitration process, so I thought it might be best to allow other arbitrators to weigh in. However, I suppose that not too many who were on the committee in 2006 are still watching the page faithfully, so I suppose the newer group such as myself should weigh in soon if no one else does. ] (]) 05:17, 20 October 2008 (UTC) | |||

| == Case needs intervention == | |||
| I request some urgent arbitrator's intervention into the pages of ] and I am leaving this same note to all four Arbitrators who commented on the case so far. | |||
| The pages of the case have deteriorated beyond reasonable due to the conduct of some of the case participants. Please take a look at ] for details. Yes, many bitter cases are filled with nonsense claims but there must be a limit to how much outright crankery can be tolerated at the ArbCom cases without any action taken. | |||
| Case' pages being turned into a total mess adversely affects the chances of the cohesive outcome. Too much nonsense in the cases pages buries the constructive entries and make the whole pages unreadable or incomprehensible. This leads to the arbitrators' non-participation in the discussions, which, in turn, brings, and I am not going to sugar-coat this, the case's outcomes being often too disconnected from actual concerns raised at its pages. This is why, I am calling for a rather unusual ''remedy to be applied to a case itself''. | |||
| I would like to request that some aggressive clerk-like work is applied to the pages of the case: the workshop and the evidence. This cannot be left to clerks since this requires application of the ''discretion on the cases merits'' beyond the freedom given to clerks. If you could go over the current evidence and workshop pages and aggressively remove the patent nonsense and senseless rants (including my own entries if they are perceived as such), the benefit would be two-fold. First, it would make case pages more readable and, thus, more useful. Second, it would send a strong message to all parties that their conduct in the case is being monitored and may have consequences that would, hopefully, switch everyone to a more constructive mode. When looking at the pages you would see at once that the nonsense there is abundant and its presence disrupts the case. | |||
| I am not requesting any sanctions against anyone at this point. All I am asking is to return some normalcy to the case' pages. | |||
| Thank you in advance. --] 21:57, 21 October 2008 (UTC) | |||

| Brad, as we've been asked not to post on the proposed decision talk page, I'm writing here instead to confirm that Wikitumnus, Crum375, and I have waived our right to privacy in this case, subject to the minimal conditions one of us requested. (Crum waived his via me, so by all means write to him to confirm.) This means there is no longer a need to restrict evidence, nor indeed to hear the case in private at all. I want to confirm here that even the parties to the case have not seen the evidence, and are therefore not able to address it. It has been the most secretive case I'm aware of in my four years at Misplaced Pages, which has been both unfortunate and inexplicable. With the right to privacy waived by everyone who was checkusered, I request that you correct this as soon as possible.

| :SlimVirgin, the three of you may not object, but I do. I do not believe that it is appropriate to post full details of checkuser results anywhere on Misplaced Pages - and that is essentially what you are asking for. Fact is, you do not know whether or not there is private information that involves individuals other than the three of you, or whether or not other users' private information was revealed during the checkusers that have been described, which as you know is likely to happen. Whether or not any or all of you authorise it (and the authorisation needs to be made personally to the Foundation, not to English Misplaced Pages's Arbitration Committee) is unimportant. The Arbitration Committee would be setting a precedent by permitting such release of information. In the future, pressure could be brought to bear on parties in other cases to permit release of their private information. It genuinely shocks me, SlimVirgin, after all of your years of crusading for the protection of this very sort of information, that you would so cavalierly wish to establish such an onerous precedent. I understand your anger, and that of the other two editors, but this is not an appropriate solution. ] (]) 05:36, 24 October 2008 (UTC) | |||
