Why would you like to join the Arbiter Committee? I am an Arbiter in RSC and have enjoyed helping the league in this fashion and would like to do the same in CSC

What prior experience do you have, if any, do you think is relevant for this position?

I am an Arbiter for RSC
Have served as impartial arbiter in IRL positions for a couple years

Ready to answer any questions!

What do you think the most difficult part of being an arbiter will be for you?

What do you think the most difficult part of being an arbiter will be for you?

I think being annoyed with rules that I think perhaps could be changed but end of the day rules are what they are and we need to follow them!

What exactly do you think you can bring as an arbiter that others don't?

Response time is a common staff complaint. What do you think is a reasonable response time for a case that gets to your role, and do you believe there could be systems put into place that could expedite the process while still maintaining fairness and consistency? Edit:Firehawk basically answered this question in the main channel, so I'm not expecting a response, but I'll leave it here in the event you have anything additional to add. (edited)

in your opinion, what do arbiters do that is a success regarding CSC as a whole? how could the committee be improved?

I bring experience from being involved in these kind of positions from other leagues such as RSC but also I was an arbiter in IRL positions and over time I think I’ve developed a pretty consistent and fair handling process

Yeah I do believe firehawk provided the main response, what I would add is I would just do my best to ensure that system is followed and do my side of the position as promptly as I can

It's always nice to hear personal approaches to the situations within the guidelines. Our best is all we can hope to do and I don't doubt you (or any of the other applicants) will try their best. Best of luck!

I believe they provide the ability to ensure that every case of behavior or rule break is handled properly and those that aren’t we are able to correct to provide a better experience for community members. As to improvement I believe that listening to any feedback provided, and providing rules committee feedback as to when rules affect or seem to be too vague or easily misinterpreted so they can take that into account in their own discussions. I’d have to be in the committee for some length of time to get a good grasp on it to see if there are any flaws I immediately dislike before I could make any further suggestions!

Do you believe that most cases should looked at with "did they break the rule Y/N" or do you think the context as to why something was done matters?

As an arbiter there are 3 different types of cases that are commonly dealt with. The first being an appeal where the person making said appeal is purely attempting to have an area to complain to the staff about their case, while having broken the rule and making no attempt to argue against that fact. The second being an appeal where the case isn't about the evidence, but rather that the evidence presented being across the line or not. (i.e. was the message sent political argument in bad faith or not, or other method where the evidence may not break the guidelines). The third being an appeal where the evidence may or may not prove sufficiently that the appellant committed the act (A case where the question isn't if the act broke the rules, but if the evidence is enough to prove the rules were broken.) Which of these cases do you think you'd have the most issue taking part in personally?

sorry just seeing this, i think context is important when it comes to dealing with the severity of the punishment but if they broke a rule they broke a rule and there needs to be something done regardless

i think the first one because that would be frustrating. i want to fix issues that happen when rules are misinterpreted or misunderstood and or wrongly assigned in a punishment. to waste that time just to complain feels like a waste of resources to could be better put to use. i could see the third one being difficult as well as burden of guilt is more nuanced and its not black and white.
