Emails to ArbCom - Delay
Any emails that were received before 03h00 UTC on 13 November 2015 may be subject to additional moderation delays. The WMF notified the Arbitration Committee of an internal security breach and had reset our moderation passwords. Within an hour and a half of receiving the email (received ~05h00), the Arbitration Committee changed those passwords again to make sure only ArbCom members have access to the moderation queue. This requires some additional time to redistribute the moderation passwords, causing potential delays in the Committee receiving the email. This delay should be no longer than 48 hours, and should only affect ArbCom emails for a few days at most. If you urgently need Arbitration Committee attention, please use the email interface or contact an online arbitrator directly.

This arbitration case has been closed and the final decision is available at the link above
This case was opened to address the behavior of Neelix (talk · contribs), a long-time editor and administrator. Neelix has subsequently resigned as an administrator and acknowledged that he may not regain administrator status without a new, successful request for adminship.[1]. In addition, an extensive community discussion on the incidents noticeboard has resulted in a one-year topic ban from Neelix's creating redirects.
Under these circumstances, this case is closed without further action. The restriction already imposed at ANI remains in force. Neelix is strongly counseled to take the concerns expressed by the community into account in his future editing, and cautioned that he may be subject to additional sanctions if problems recur.

Arbitration motion to disband the Ban Appeals Subcommittee
Resolved by motion at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Motions that:
1. With immediate effect, the Ban Appeals Subcommittee is disbanded. The associated mailing list is to be shut and associated Wikipedia pages marked {{historical}}.
2. Any ban appeals of whatever nature open at the time of the passing of this motion will be handled by the Arbitration Committee until the appeal has run its course.
3. The Arbitration Committee will, for the time being, take appeals (i) from editors who are subject to an {{OversightBlock}} or a {{Checkuserblock}}; (ii) from editors who are blocked for reasons that are unsuitable for public discussion; and (iii) from editors blocked or banned by Arbitration and Arbitration Enforcement decisions.

E-cigs case closed
This arbitration case has been closed and the final decision is available at the link above. The following remedies have been enacted:
- General Sanctions for the Electronic Cigarette topic area are rescinded. In its place, standard discretionary sanctions are authorized for the Electronic Cigarette topic area, broadly construed.
- Discretionary Sanctions are explicitly extended for the Electronic Cigarettes topic area. Specifically, single purpose accounts may be topic banned or blocked (indefinite or otherwise), if in the view of an uninvolved administrator, they are being disruptive in the topic area.
- Uninvolved administrators are encouraged to monitor the articles covered by discretionary sanctions in this case to ensure compliance. To assist in this, administrators are reminded that accounts with a clear shared agenda may be blocked if they violate the sockpuppetry policy or other applicable policy; accounts whose primary purpose is disruption or making personal attacks may be blocked indefinitely; discretionary sanctions permit full and semi-page protections, including use of pending changes where warranted, and – once an editor has become aware of sanctions for the topic – any other appropriate remedy may be issued without further warning. The Arbitration Committee thanks those administrators who have been helping to enforce the community general sanctions, and thanks, once again, in advance those who help enforce the remedies adopted in this case.
- QuackGuru (talk · contribs) is warned that continuing to engage in a pattern of disruption to Wikipedia will result in further sanctions.
- CFCF (talk · contribs) is restricted to one revert per article per every 72 hour period in the Electronic Cigarette topic area, broadly construed.
