Jytdog was a very good editor...--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 16:11, 24 December 2018 (UTC)
- Jytdog was a very good editor, but to be a member of a community you also need to consider how to treat others. Jytdog tended to be focused on the articles, but at times it seemed that they were not focused enough on the idea that there was a person behind the account. - Bilby (talk) 12:20, 25 December 2018 (UTC)
- As demonstrated by the dozens of testimonials here, his work will be sorely missed. It was good, very good. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 14:41, 29 December 2018 (UTC)
- Jytdog did excellent work, but their treatment of other editors sometimes left much to be desired, and was the ultimate cause of their departure. - Bilby (talk) 22:59, 29 December 2018 (UTC)
- I had a pointed off-wiki discussion with Jytdog in 2016/2017 timeframe. He insisted on bullying Barbara Page as a means to control her sometimes problematic editing and I took him to task off-wiki for his bad behavior. I had met with Barbara in person to resolve issues and I saw no need for his method. He wouldn't even apologize, let alone stop. Rest assured, I won't miss him.

- It is notable that a significant number of productive editors have left the project rather than undergo an ArbCom case. Additionally, we have lost editors after cases, or part way through - one of the problems with these cases being that they effectively break WP:NOT COMPULSORY (though they are not the only part of the apparatus that does that). I'm not sure if there is a good solution to these issues, but when I was observing ArbCom closely it did seem that there was a distinction between those that investigated fully, reading all diffs offered, and subsequently making constructive suggestions, and those that relied on the judgement of other members, or of parties to the case, and rarely made any innovative proposals, rather tending to absolute versions of standard sanctions, regardless of evidence of their effectiveness.
