Methodology

Interesting methodology; I don't think I've seen someone be so methodical in his assessment of potential ArbCom candidates before. I am curious about how you weighed the different criterion against each other? Relative importance in your personal values or some other method? — Coren ^(talk) 22:10, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Basically relative importance. I do think I will be looking into background a little more next year and weighting that more. --Rschen7754 (T C) 22:16, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Very interesting methodology. You're also right that I totally omitted 8a. Sorry about the oversight. Would have been a fairly broad answer along the lines of: "Community bans are justified whenever there's persistent disruption to our task—building an encyclopedia. It's not a question of whether users a good people—even disruptive users probably are—our concern is whether a user's access helps or hurts the encyclopedia."

Thanks for the support! Cool Hand Luke 05:55, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

You're welcome. Technically you get an extra 0.8 point for answering the question late... not that it matters though :) --Rschen7754 (T C) 06:37, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

This is an interesting attempt at scoring. However, it reflects the personal opinion of one person. To me, certain questions posed are more important than others. Other people have entirely different scoring. Some think that only administrators qualify instead of just getting one point with Rschen7754. (Some may assign a score of 100 extra points given to administrators). He weighes each issue equally. Despite that limitation, a very interesting exercise!

That is three percent - the points are weighted. Also, administrators were the only ones that were ever supported - administrators tended to do way better on the questions. --Rschen7754 (T C) 20:16, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Woah! Looks like I really sucked on your scoring system. Never mind, I didn't have much of a prayer anyway :) And I do like the idea, keep up the good work. BillMasen (talk) 18:55, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
