The Arbitrators should become "moderators". When a moderator becomes
aware of an issue, he should try to resolve it by communicating with
the party or parties concerned. If he cannot, he should simply go
to the other moderators and say (in effect): "The facts are such and
such. Here is what I have tried to resolve it; but it hasn't worked.
I propose that we impose such-and-such sanction. The other
moderators should then just vote over the course of a few days, and
the decision should be implemented. There is no need for the
deliberation to be formal, long, or even public. Decisions should
just be announced on the Administrator noticeboard, which is also
where people might go to get the Moderators attention for problems.
There would probably need to be some system so that several Moderators
didn't work the same problems and get in each other's way. The
process should be very fast with a minimum of nonsense. The AC
replaces Jimmy and I am sure that Jimmy didn't go through all of this
laughable legaiistic claptrap when he was making his decisions.
