All right, then. How would you suggest we choose
them?
I also agree with what has been said by Turley and
others. Arbitration is not something I would trust to
every admin, and there are at least a couple admins
that I would shudder to see given binding judicial
powers.
How about a mixed system? First, have a Supreme Court
(or whatever we want to call it) whose membership is
fixed in number and determined through an election
process such as governs Arbcom now. And then have
lesser courts/magistrates/whatever confirmed through a
process of community consensus such as occurs in RFA
now?
Sounds good to me. Maybe we should make the current Requests for
arbitration into a supreme court, rename it. Then make the lesser courts
be called Requests for arbitration. These would be seperated like page
RFCs are. "Excessive reverters", "complete trolls", "POV
pushers", etc.
Then the supreme court (whatever it's called) could be appealed to like
me do to Jimbo, and they could accept the case and look into it. There'd
still be Jimbo above them, but hopefully less people would appeal to
him. He's very busy, as we all know. Doesn't everyone in arbitration
appeal to him currently?
