Wikipedia talk:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2008/Vote/Coren

What should the penalty for an essentially bent summary of behaviour in WP:AN be?
As you know, even if a summary is accurate, newbies will cringe at admitting any fault. If they see a lot of faults that really do distort context and assign blame, then you can double the time before they will propose a settlement that they will live by. It's an open question. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.234.170.70 (talk) 23:17, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure I understand what your question is. You mean in cases where a user misrepresents behavior on AN (or AN/I) in order to get an unwarranted intervention?
 * (as a note, is there a specific reason why you have asked this question on this discussion page instead of on the question page?) &mdash; Coren (talk) 23:49, 21 November 2008 (UTC)


 * The question seems apt for your attitude. Yes. Unwarranted intervention is one problem. A basis for it is another. Administrators are users. 216.234.170.92 (talk) 08:09, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I think "crying wolf" is disruptive, certainly, and that repeatedly doing so should be handled like any other disruptive editing. Education, warnings, and more stringent measures if no improvement of behavior is in sight.  In particular, attempting to use the policies as weapons to silence "POV opponents" is especially problematic.  &mdash; Coren (talk) 11:25, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Comments
LessHeard vanU As I do not believe in a system where my support may be rendered ineffective by the considerations of Jimbo and the existing ArbCom I shall only be supporting Risker; however, had my vote potential been not been constrained by the apparatus employed I would have supported this candidate.
