1. The arbitration committee instructs Anthony
to refrain
from playing around and making provocative edits on VfD
and associated pages"
Which is pretty clear. That Anthony has apparently ignored a direct instruction is a
matter of regret, and would have reflected badly on him had the case proceeded to
arbitration. This is perhaps why, during mediation, he agreed to accept the following
standing order:
[[Wikipedia:Requests_for_Arbitration/Standing_orders/Anthony]]
If Anthony should, for any reason, make a provocative
edit (that
is, an edit which is "trolling", "disruptive", and/or
"antisocial" as
interpreted by an admin) or engage in an edit war, an admin, may
at his discretion, block Anthony for a period of 24 hours, not
subject to the normal warnings and protections afforded other
users.
I for one congratulate the mediation committee in their success in reaching an
agreement on this case, that has allowed Raul654 to rapidly and robustly deal with the
issue, pending further discussion. I hope that mediation will continue to resolve many
similar issues without resorting to arbitration.
