Mistakes to avoid: Ignoring the case
Line 83:
 
[[wikt:pettifogger|Pettifoggery]] is likely to create prejudice against your cause, as a person who can win on the merits of their case will probably not resort to [[Wikipedia:Wikilawyering|wikilawyering]].
 
Ignoring the case is not a successful strategy. The Arbitration Committee [[:wikt:arbitrate|arbitrate]]s between the positions presented to it. It should not be relied on to investigate and construct your argument for you.
 
Ignoring the case is not an acceptable strategy for administrators. A failure to respond is seen as a violation of [[WP:ADMINACCT|the accountability requirements]] and may result in the removal of admin rights pending a conclusion to the case. The case will be suspended for a period (usually limited to 3 months as of May 2024) after which the removal will become permanent.
