LTAND established a petition system where passed petitions could then be implemented by a "wizard".
A character named Grump wrote a petition trying to establish a way of moderating content and actions using "Arbitration" -- a kind of binding arbitration using an arbitrator (mutually agreed upon if feasible, or randomly chosen among those volunteering) to hear the sides of the dispute and propose a remedy.
A wizard (admin) named Froxx implemented arbitration, with immediately netative results: when code is law, the devil is in the details.
