It's one thing not to interfere with people expressing their opinions, and another to stick your nose into things that aren't your business. These are two very different things. We have plenty of people who like the latter.

In this case, what was meant by "not your business"? Judges' decisions? Were you also bitten by Dubrovin? :cool:

Discussing the decisions of tournament judges and the decisions of the Arbitration Committee is not only not prohibited by the forum rules, but is also a necessary element of feedback. As experience from many years of observation shows, from time to time the Arbitration Committee makes "strange" decisions, and silently accepting them means accumulating tension.

Membership in the Arbitration Committee is not a mandate of a deputy, which gives privileges and a large salary to hold onto positions and just "sit around." What's the point? What are the benefits of this strategy?

Judging by the number of people who want to join the Arbitration Committee, there is definitely a point to it. And there's no need to pretend to be naive :rolleyes:

As for the person of Mizrael, whom you for some reason brought up as an example, he participated in every discussion, always promptly and to the point. In addition, he is adequate, impartial, always ready to help, and has authority on the forum. An excellent candidate.

And here's what I want to know - how am I, a simple voter, supposed to know that Gomunguls is silent because he recused himself, Dalavista is silent because he went on a crusade, and Mizrael is silent because that's his position? From the outside, their behavior looks identical.

Mizrael

I'll explain a little about the "silent" situation :) Initially, the Arbitration Committee was created as a closed body, consisting of people whom the forum trusts, and therefore their decision is recognized as optimal a priori.
A closed section of the forum was specifically created for the Arbitration Committee, and it is forbidden to disclose information about the progress of the investigation to the forum or in personal communication with anyone outside the Arbitration Committee until a final decision is made. Therefore, there are few statements from me on the forum regarding Arbitration Committee matters; these are the rules of the committee's work... The final decision is posted by someone from the Arbitration Committee, and it has not been my role to do so, but this is not a personal decision of anyone, but a collective one, and there is no difference who announces it...
As for greater openness, in my opinion, the maximum that should be done is to post the results of the vote by name along with the decision. Everyone who is interested in the logical reasoning used in making the decision can ask me in a private message, and I have never refused anyone... It seems that with all this openness, people want to turn the Arbitration Committee into a talk show, rather than a serious body :)

The point I'm making here is that secrecy and election are contradictory characteristics. Elected bodies engage in public activities, their members engage in self-promotion, communication with voters, reports on work done, etc.

And closed bodies are appointed by order from above and are accountable only to the boss.

Therefore, elected bodies of government (parliaments and the like) are, yes, talk shows - meetings are often held in live broadcast, in the presence of journalists and the public, meeting minutes are published and discussed in the press, etc. This is a common norm of political practice.

Without all this, elections turn into a sham - we elect someone, but who - who knows :smile32:
