Magnificent

Thanks for your thoughtful comments at ARCA (tired onlookers can skip down to "but procedural formalism doesn't sustain a community or write an encyclopedia" for the punchline). Fixing a typo might be worthwhile: "We can all can agree" needs one less "can". Johnuniq (talk) 04:05, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

Thank you. Typo fixed. Regards, Newyorkbrad (talk) 04:07, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

Query on DS

Hi Brad, I'd like to access your encyclopaedic knowledge of ArbCom sanctions, if I may. I'm wondering if there is any active DS regime covering areas of human sexuality. I realise that transgendered biographies and the like are covered by the Sexology decision and the subsequent Gamergate cases, but I am not sure if those would stretch to human sexuality. Thanks, EdChem (talk) 10:26, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

@EdChem: I don't believe discretionary sanctions apply broadly to human sexuality issues. Discretionary sanctions are currently authorized for "gender-related disputes" (which is deemed broad enough to pick up transgender issues), but not beyond that.
