Thirdly, sentences should be much, much harsher.
Ban them for life
and get it over with. Banning only slows them down anyway, most of
them will come back under a different name. But at least the
community will be able to unite behind the AC ruling.
This was tried at first by one arbitrator but was overruled by the
majority. Unless the bulk of the arbitrators differ markedly from
the users there is little support for lifetime banning.
Proof that the process is broken. We all know what a troll is.
