Userbox warring

Userbox arbitration case closes

An arbitration case against users involved in a pedophilia userbox wheel war was closed on Friday, less than five days after it was opened (see archived story.)

The case, which concerned the deletion of Template:User pedophile and subsequent creations under different names, was particularly notable in that prior to the opening of the case, Jimbo Wales desysopped five administrators, of whom only three (El C, BorgHunter, and Ashibaka) will get resysopped automatically, and two (Carnildo and Karmafist) must apply through RfA if they want the sysop flag again. Also notable is that the case is believed to be the fastest case ever closed with enacted remedies.
