Arbitration motion regarding COIVRT block appeals
The Arbitration Committee has resolved by motion that:
Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Procedures §Handling of block and ban appeals is amended to read:
The Arbitration Committee hears appeals from editors who are blocked or banned:
- by arbitration decisions;
- as arbitration enforcement actions;
- based on oversighted evidence;
- based on CheckUser evidence, where checkusers disagree on the interpretation of that evidence;
- based on evidence from the conflict of interest VRT queue, where members with access to the queue disagree on the interpretation of that evidence or believe the request would be better handled by the Arbitration Committee; and
- for reasons that are otherwise unsuitable for public discussion.
It is expected that CheckUser and conflict of interest VRT blocks are by default appealed on-wiki; however, the Arbitration Committee may hear appeals of such blocks if there are compelling reasons to hear an appeal in private.
Administrators are advised that blocks labelled as conflict of interest VRT (COIVRT) blocks may not be lifted or loosened without the express written consent of someone with access to the queue or the Arbitration Committee. Like with oversight and checkuser blocks, administrators loosening or lifting COIVRT blocks out of process may, at the discretion of the Arbitration Committee, be desysopped.
