Confidential mediation could be useful for resolving
disputes.
This would only involve those directly involved in a
dispute. The advantage of it being private is that
comments you make can not be later used against you.
This is a simplified version of what the American
Arbitration Association (see
www.adr.org) do.
There should be one person to represent the complaints
by other users.
Aim: more rational and reasoned process.
You just need 12-15 users to spend a few hours a week
on this to make it work. Lawyers, social workers,
psychologists or philosophy types especially could
help. You could vote for certain people to be given
each post. The process would take about a month. Jimbo
could still overrule it.
This would calm things down and not be so time
consuming.
Thanks for that Angela. Very good summary.
