That's what you could expect from my term if elected. If you have any questions or concerns, ''please'' contact me [[User:Ambi/Questions for the candidate|here]] - I'd be happy to hear from you. [[User:Ambi|Ambi]] 03:13, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Hi. You may know me from the [[m:IRC channels|IRC channels]]; I also do random RC patrolling when I have some time to kill. I try to insert some [[you have two cows|wry remark]] of some sort whenever reasonable.
Some consider the threat of "trolls" overrated. It is true that we are far from overrun, but
the price of trolling is not paid in damage to articles: it is paid in the participation of
some of our better contributors. I don't think it's even so much the trolling itself which
drives users away so much as when a user engages in a formal dispute resolution pricess and
is frustrated by inaction and ineffective solutions.
The arbcom must always approach users with excessive kindness and leniency, and should do
its best to give users the benefit of the doubt whenever possible. At the same time, it
must not be paralyzed into inaction by trivialities, and we should not be afraid to call a
spade a spade (no offense intended to [[User:Sam Spade|Sam]] :) - and we should deal with
problem users quickly, effectively, and with common sense as our guide- especially so in
the case of repeat offenders.
Query me at [[User:Fennec/Questions and stuff, yo]]. -[[User:Fennec|Fennec]] [[User_Talk:Fennec|(はさばくのきつね)]] 03:32, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)
