Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Fæ closed

An arbitration case regarding User:Fæ has now closed and the final decision is viewable at the link above. The following remedies have been enacted:

1. Fæ is admonished for making personal attacks and making ad hominem attacks on others based on perceived affiliation.
2. Fæ is hereby limited to one account, and expressly denied the option of a fresh WP:CLEANSTART. Should Fæ wish to change the name of the one account he is allowed to use, he must receive prior permission from the Arbitration Committee before editing under any other username. Fæ must provide a list of all accounts they have controlled to the Committee, with any objections to making the accounts publicly listed. The Committee will then advise Fæ of whether they will need to list the objected to account(s) publicly.
3. As Fæ likely would have had his administrator status revoked as a result of this case, his resignation of tools is considered as "under controversial circumstances", and they cannot get the tools back without first standing for a fresh request for adminship. Should they run for RfA again, they must publicly link to the statement on their user page announcing the accounts they have used previously.
4. For numerous violations of Misplaced Pages's norms and policies, Fæ is indefinitely banned from the English Language Misplaced Pages. He may request reconsideration of the ban six months after the enactment of this remedy, and every six months thereafter.
5. For creating a page on an external webpage designed to harass another user, Michaeldsuarez is banned indefinitely from the English language Misplaced Pages. They may appeal this ban one year after its enactment.
6. Delicious carbuncle is severely admonished for posting another editor's non-disclosed private information on an external website and warned that should they do so again, they will face sanctions, up to and including an indefinite site ban from Misplaced Pages.

COI+ certification proposal

I've thought of an idea that might break our current logjam with paid editing. I'd love your sincere feedback and opinion.

• WP:COI certification

Feel free to circulate this to anyone you think should know about it, but please recognize that it hasn't been agreed upon by either PR organizations or WikiProjects or the wider community. It's also just a draft, so any/many changes can still be made. Thanks and cheers, Ocaasi 15:16, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks

I must say I was surprised and delighted that you stuck up for me here. I guess trying to educate that lot is rather hopeless, but thanks for trying, Herostratus (talk) 03:16, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	The Brilliant Idea Barnstar
	Normally I would disregard an Indeffed user in a flash but all that you did for the 27th January 2012 report of User:Fluttershy over at the SPI was absolutely amazing and I simply couldn't go by without rewarding you. MM (Report findings) 11:54, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
