Actually I don't think memory is good enough. To be consistant  the
Arbcom should formulate guidlines for rulings:

Repetedly breaking the 3RR on certain pages ----> Ban from editing
those pages for 3 month

Repeated personal attacks -----> Personal attack parole  (like irisimeisters)

Abuse of admin powers (!st instance) ------> instruced not to use
admin powers for 3 months

And so on. Obviously each case is different and so the punishments
can't be rigid, but having a guidline will keep the process fair, and
will make formulating a ruling easier.
