509:(one of the drafting arbitrators) gave their view of the challenges, "if the Committee were in a position to introduce emergency draconian measures (which it isn't), it could only be on the basis of what's happening within the encyclopedia rather what may be going on outside it. There are simply no practical solutions to some of these issues because Knowledge (XXG) is the encyclopedia that anyone can edit. It would take major systemic change (end pseudonymous editing, require ID to create an account etc) to make individual editors accountable and, even then, we'd have no reliable means of connecting external anonymous individuals to named internal accounts." It's possible (likely, even!) that arbitrators reviewed the possibility of addressing off-wiki coordination and found the evidence wanting or the action needed to be outside their remit, but little of that came through in the decision. 402:, a former arbitrator, wrote that she "took action using advanced tools the other night only after I had the personal commitment of two of your colleagues to 'have my back' if I did so, because this decision is so broad that even acting entirely within policy I see a realistic risk of being sanctioned for taking entirely policy-accepted actions." Remember the case was kicked off by a complaint about administrative malfeasance, precisely the kind of situation an administrator wading into Gamergate six months from now might face. 222:, even when a draft version of the page was set up to prevent edit warring on the main space. As more attention was drawn to the Knowledge (XXG) article within Gamergate circles, many of these editors themselves became targets from offsite groups due to their opposition towards Gamergate, which appeared to drive them further into their activities of preventing Gamergate supporters from changing the nature of the Knowledge (XXG) article, while forgoing what would be expected behaviour of all Knowledge (XXG) editors. 413:. It is the future of online resentment and so long as Knowledge (XXG) is both editable and authoritative we will face the same sort of problems. I had a hope, when this case was first taken, that Knowledge (XXG) would do the right thing in the end. That this community, which I am so passionate about and have been lucky enough to be a (very marginal) part of would land on the right solution after having tried all the bad ones. We're still looking, and the Arbitration Committee appears to be badly lost. 445:"If there are a parade of single purpose accounts acting badly, the page can be semi-protected or protected long-term by any administrator, and disruptive accounts can be warned and then topic banned. Once the bad actors realize that we aren't going to tolerate them, they will go elsewhere." Additionally, many of the single purpose accounts in the topic area were older but until-recently inactive accounts, rendering semi-protection less useful. 379:
remedies were added by other arbitrators and some of the original remedies did not gain consensus, but remarkably little has changed in the overall scope. Ryulong, Tarc, and NorthBySouthBaranof were topic banned; TaraInDC and TheRedPenofDoom will just be "admonished". Despite finding unanimously that "off-wiki feuds" and accusations of "off-wiki canvassing" were central to the dispute, none of the proposed remedies addressed off-wiki actions.
169:, one of our goals is to offer a platform to discuss happenings in the Knowledge (XXG) community through publication of op-eds, editorials, and other material. This week, we have featured two excellent op-eds penned by Knowledge (XXG) administrators that offer differing views on how the arbitration committee handled the GamerGate case. The views expressed are those of the authors alone; responses and critical commentary are invited in the 1028: 1557:"Pro" Gamergate poeple are those that are stating they believe there are ethics issues in current video game journalism. "Anti" Gamergater people are either those that counter these claims, and/or that have been highly critical of the methods that are attributed to the pro-Gamergate side or the hashtag, though as a label this is much less commonly used. At times you'll see "Gamergater" which refers to the pro-Gamergate side. -- 120: 110: 262: 406:
about them. They recognized that behavior during the dispute would be a problem, then took no action as the evidence page ballooned. They recognized the importance of off-wiki coordination and then refused to take action on that very subject.

difficult to find any sourcing from the media that doesn't paint the Gamergate supporters in a negative light. This has created a divide between these editors on how our sourcing and neutrality policies need to apply. Issues have arisen around how to present the media's highly negative take on the Gamergate situation within the neutrality policy, while the "

Gamergaters did not get bored. 140: 100: 349:", where hordes of people motivated by external political agendas were given free rein to drown the procedure in their drivel for weeks, until clerks and arbs started randomly and erraticly hitting out with blocks against established participants who had cracked under the constant provocation and lost their temper." 405:
That an arbitration decision divides the community and foments uncertainty is not news, nor is it a sign by itself that the Committee cannot tackle vexed problems.

The case was presented as a clash of the behaviour and attitudes of these experienced editors against an ongoing tide of single purpose accounts that, intentionally or not, wanted to push the Gamergate supporter side of the controversy onto Knowledge (XXG) and correct the lack of coverage the press

Can't say the same about the "other GG" decision, the gendergap case. I feel like we screwed that one up pretty badly. Part of the reason I am glad to be done with the committee was that I was tired of seeing some arbs bend over backwards to try and avoid banning users who we all agreed had been
