There is no need for a new committee. The existing ArbCom just needs to be more
aggressive at enforcing content policies and guidelines. We did not tackle
these issues at first due to the fact that we did not have clear community
support and many feared giving us that power. The mood now has changed and I
think the community has a great deal more trust in the ArbCom and the ArbCom
itself is better-prepared to deal with this type of issue.
