Arbitration Committee motion regarding Malik Shabazz

In August 2015, the administrator privileges of Malik Shabazz (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) were revoked under the Level I desysop procedure, which is intended as a temporary measure. The Arbitration Committee has satisfied itself that the account was not compromised and that any ongoing disruption at the time has ceased. Accordingly, we affirm that Malik Shabazz may be resysopped at his request at any time.

Arbitration Committee motion amending the Rich Farmbrough arbitration case

By motion of the Arbitration Committee;

The sanctions placed on Rich Farmbrough as part of the Rich Farmbrough arbitration case (t) (ev / t) (w / t) (pd / t) are rescinded. For clarity this includes remedy 2 which prohibited Rich Farmbrough from using automation and clause B in the June 2012 amendment.
If the bot approval group sees it fit, they may also revoke all previous bot requests without the authorization of the Committee.
It is noted that the original community sanctions are not affected by this motion as they were placed by the community.
