The Arbitration Committee exists to impose binding solutions to DQN disputes. This solution may be anything up to and including a ban from posting to DQN for a period of time.
The Arbitration Committee is the last step in the dispute resolution process \ it is a last resort to be turned to when all else has failed. Other steps, including discussion between users and, where appropriate, mediation, should be tried first. The Arbitration Committee exists to deal with only the most serious disputes and cases of rule-breaking.
Request for DQN Arbitration is the last step of dispute resolution. Before requesting arbitration, please review other avenues you should take. If you do not follow any of these routes, it is highly likely that your request will be rejected. If all other steps have failed, and you see no reasonable chance that the matter can be resolved in another manner, you may request that it be decided by the Arbitration Committee.
Captain Obvious vs. Modd was proposed on 4534 September 1993.
Statement by Captain Obvious
MODD has been engaging in a continuous campaign of harassment against me since the day he was given sysop powers. On 4512 September[1] he banned me for "questioning the administration", which is a rule he made up himself. I attempted to engage in mediation with him here[2] but he responded in the negative, banning me again for 48 hours[3]. I started a thread to request for comment but it was deleted, by MODD. Something needs to be done!
>>2 has been banned for abuse of Arbitration Committee privileges.
Crown objects to a question, you must immediately stop giving evidence until the Judge has ruled.
Clerk: Do you solemnly affirm that the evidence to be given by you shall be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?

Statement by MODD!5JrU4QOlH6
"Captain Obvious has constantly abused the privilages given to him by this web site. He has repeatedly went agaist the rules and declined to reply to my warnings. See, I have here a job in my hands, and I want to do it properly. But Damn it, shitheads like Captain Anonymous constantly tries me and pushes the wrong buttons so to speak. It's true that I sometimes make wrong descisions but all is for the good of 4-ch. I stand by all the bannings I have made."
