The Arbitration Committee closed three cases this week.

Rainbowwarrior1977
A case against Rainbowwarrior1977 has closed, affirming the indefinite ban imposed by Redwolf24 in September.

DotSix
A case against DotSix has closed. DotSix was banned for one year. The Arbitration Committee cited DotSix's constant edit-warring, lack of positive edits, and "malicious comments" on user talk pages.

Keetoowah
A case against Keetoowah has closed. Keetoowah was warned against making legal threats, and put on personal attack parole.

Stevertigo case reopened
A case against Stevertigo for inappropriate use of administrative powers has been re-opened. Stevertigo was originally ordered to reaffirm his adminship at RfA; however, after many community members viewed the process of community de-adminship as wrong, the case was returned to the ArbCom. The dispute regarded Stevertigo's violation of the three-revert rule, and subsequently unblocking himself a number of times.
