Hello, I'm Jtkiefer, a registered user since June 2005, and an anonymous editor for a long time before that. I've been an administrator since late August 2005, and I'm now active in the Welcoming Committee and the Stub Sorting WikiProject.
The arbitration process needs to be streamlined; this is widely agreed upon by the Wikipedia community. The arbitration case duration has been reduced without compromising diligence, but I feel that this can be improved even more. Good members who become involved as arbitrators are often alienated by the process; their experience is lost when they resign or leave the project, and I feel that this problem too must be given serious attention.
I feel that the arbcom should be willing to ban users when necessary and should not hesitate to do so in the case of blatant trolls and vandals, at the same time I feel that the arbcom should have a streamlined system to deal with such blatant abuses and that the arbcom should be strict but fair whenever blocks or bans are called for.
