Wikipedia talk:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2012/Candidates/Timotheus Canens/Questions

Moved comments from #Question from Giano
You appear to execute a large amount of blocks. Why is that? Do you go looking for trouble? Many admins go for days and weeks, even months and some, years without hitting the block button. What is it that drives you and makes you so dilligent with your tools? If elelcted, will you become Wikipedia's lord High Executioner? Giano (talk) 18:03, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
 * A: Any admin who works at SPI for a period of time will by necessity have a long list of blocks. I doubt that my block log is particularly atypical for someone working in this area. The same can be said about deletions: admins regularly working with XFD or CAT:CSD will have a much longer log of deletions than admins who do not work in those areas.


 * I would ask this question very differently. When something comes to Arbcom attention (or AE at this matter), a common practice is to simply look if there was any violation of policies and to sanction everyone appropriately. But there was a suggestion by Count Iblis to give people one last chance to fix the problem by asking them: "Would you, editors X, Y and Z, agree to resolve your differences or simply withdraw from the conflict right now, or you would rather face arbitration?". This is not anything unreasonable, because some people (and especially those who did not file the case, but were brought to arbitration by other parties) could indeed prefer to simply stop doing whatever they do. Of course you might object that people had an ample opportunity to resolve their differences earlier, but whatever they did before, that was not the same as facing the arbitration. So, would you agree to create a new standard practice of giving people one last chance to stop disruption (no matter what they do) prior to facing arbitration?
