Δ saga returns to arbitration, while the Abortion case stalls for another week
One case was opened this week, making a total of two cases now open.
Arbitration case opened to review editor's status
The Betacommand 3 case was opened this week to review the status of Δ, who previously edited as Betacommand.
Δ has been the subject of both community and Arbitration Committee sanctions in relation to his use of bots. The case grew out of a request for clarification following a discussion about relaxing some of Δ's community restrictions and allowing him to run certain bot tasks where it was realized that there might be relevant Arbitration Committee sanctions as well. The case was opened by motion from there. Arbitrator Coren, who supported the motion, wrote
| “ | I'm really not happy at the prospect of an arbitration case over this matter, but the fact is that Δ is currently under a complicated mishmash of variously interpreted community sanctions, and is the focus of much dispute around many the edits he does (which are also just as varied and impossible to qualify as a whole). It is not entirely clear either how much of those disputes can be attributed to Δ himself. Untangling this to try to solve the problem will indeed require more than a simple clarification or motion work. | ” |
Abortion case continues
It was another slow week for the Abortion case. There was limited activity in the workshop, and even less in evidence.

Betacommand has been rolled through the mud so many times, you'd barely recognize him anymore. ResMar 23:06, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
