 | This is a failed proposal. Consensus for its implementation was not established within a reasonable period of time. If you want to revive discussion, please use the talk page or initiate a thread at the village pump. |
On the Wikipedia:Admin accountability poll, it was suggested that WP:RFC is not taken seriously enough, and that this primarily stems from the inability of RFC to actually enforce anything. In other words, the subject of an RFC can simply choose to ignore any and all of the comments without further consequences.
Also, the Requests for Arbitration process is overloaded at times. It has been said that the ArbCom serves well as a "supreme court" for extensive investigation of major problems. However, it would be appropriate to set up a "traffic court" for quick investigation of simple problems. This may also prevent disputes from escalating to the level where arbitration is necessary. Of course, any decision of RFC enforcement is subject to appeal to the ArbCom.
Please edit this proposal.
