User blog comment:Obi the LEGO Fan/The Arbitration Committee/@comment-5772846-20140205173925

I see that this could have a lot of potential, but two quick points I'd like to make:

1. I feel that we really don't need it. I understand that this committee has nothing to do with the old one, but that failed because, honestly, we didn't really need a special committee to be liaisons between admins and users, and we don't need a committee to resolve problems. Don't we have admins for that? What is the point of them if the ArbCom, like it seems to be, is basically the highest authority?

2. I don't really know where I'd like to go with this, but I find it a teensy bit odd that an admin is on the committee. If we're trying to get an unbiased group of users to solve problems together, then I don't see why you have an admin. There could potentially be some bias, and indeed, one of the things that this committee does is "[solve] a dispute between a user and a moderator or admin who the user believes has misused his/her rights." It's just weird to have a member of the admin team on it. IDK. :P Is there a reason for having one?
