since it was first made public in arbspace....

In the interest of continued transparency when possible:

I was informed by the Ombuds Commission today that they do consider even sharing vague details with no personal information of any kind from a volunteer-run mailing list a violation of the access to nonpublic data policy and they have accordingly issued me a "final warning" on the subject for "reckless handling of nonpublic information."

They only considered two parts of the "totality of evidence" that ArbCom used to boot me off as the rest of it was outside of their jurisdiction (and some of it was arguably outside of ArbCom's jurisdiction as well if you ask me but that's another matter for another day) They did also note that they do not consider anything I did to have been done out of malice, so that was nice anyway.

I personally think this is an overreach as the ANPDP does not say a single word about volunteer-run mailing lists, but apparently I was supposed to know better anyway. Just Step Sideways ^{from this world ..... today} 23:55, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

Dovidroth unbanned

Original announcement

• I'm perfectly fine with this as the topic ban is still in effect but I realize that Dovidroth is a valuable editor and I look forward to seeing what they do outside of their topic ban. Philipnelson99 (talk) 15:38, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

  I would like some clarification on why Moneytrees and Firefly opposed since the rest of the committee members that voted, voted to lift the site ban. I understand if you two are not willing to discuss your votes! Philipnelson99 (talk) 15:39, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

  @Philipnelson99 for me, it mostly has to do with our behind-the-scenes conversations with Dovidroth, which I don't think I can talk about here. Moneytrees🏝️(Talk) 15:45, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

  Totally understand, I do appreciate the response @Moneytrees. Philipnelson99 (talk) 15:47, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

  Same reasoning for me, and yes unfortunately it would not be appropriate to disclose the details. firefly ( t · c ) 15:50, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

  Understood. I hope that Dovidroth will contribute positively to Wikipedia and that the majority of the committee made the correct decision. Philipnelson99 (talk) 15:54, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

  I personally believe the entire committee made a correct decision and am thankful for each of the votes. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:56, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

  I trust the committee's judgement. And I specifically trust you personally @ToBeFree. Seeing you in the support column definitely made me feel better about the decision. Philipnelson99 (talk) 23:14, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

  oh, that's kind. Thank you very much ~ ToBeFree (talk) 23:23, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

• The topic ban was initially for 90 days from 26 December 2023. Am I correct in assuming there's 65 days left in that topic ban and it would now expire on 2024-06-30? If so, I'll make sure Dovidroth understands this. --Yamla (talk) 17:50, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

  @Yamla We gave Dovidroth an indef topic ban which superseded the previous 90 day CT one he had, so that time period is defunct. Moneytrees🏝️(Talk) 17:53, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

  See Special:PermaLink/1197461960#Dovidroth_topic_ban. Primefac (talk) 17:53, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

  Ah. Thanks. The only person who was confused here was me. Thanks for clearing that up! I won't notify Dovidroth because I'm very sure they are clearly aware. --Yamla (talk) 17:54, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
