	Before going into ArbCom, it's best to prepare yourself for being in a kangaroo court. The closest real world comparison to ArbCom is traffic court, where the judge and chief witness both act as prosecutor, you are denied a lawyer, the cops lie and change their story after you give evidence of your innocence, and no matter what, those in power win and you always lose.

	In 2010, three Arbcom members were charged with plagiarism. On 22 February, 2010, irregularities in numerous editorial contributions of arbitrator Roger Davies was raised on the Administrators Noticeboard [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Archive209#Plagiarism_problems]. The discussion was abruptly rushed into closing when arbitrator Risker (Anne M.B. Clin) wondered aloud if "someone can come up with a way of identifying the concerns and permitting him to respond without keeping a thread open for several days on this noticeboard." Wikipedia's copyright head honcho Moonriddengirl then spent a few weeks [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Roger_Davies/Plagiarism_evaluation looking] at Davies's contributions and decided in the end that he hadn't really plagiarised at all.

	On 10 May, 2010, arbitrator Steve Smith, a law student at the University of New Brunswick, quietly posted an acknowledgment of "rampant plagiarism" on his talk page [~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Steve_Smith#Statement_on_plagiarism]. Smith stated he "no longer had the moral authority to serve as as arbitrator, and I immediately announced my resignation to the Committee." However, he was "persuaded that this is not necessarily the case" - though he declined to identify which Arbcom members talked him out of quitting.

	In both cases, the Wikipedia "community" did not agitate to have either Davies or Smith removed from Arbcom.		In both cases, the Wikipedia "community" did not agitate to have either Davies or Smith removed from Arbcom.

	Comprised of the most corrupt administrators possible, the ArbCom has been discredited so many times that people don't even try anymore. But what else could be expected from a [[wiki]]-government of appointed cronies and anonymous furries. Just like [[Communist]] [[Russia]], [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Elections#Arbitration_Committee\|mock elections]] are held and candidates run, although the winners are handpicked anyways by the dictator, in this case [[Jimbo Wales]]. It is in this manner that vindictive partisans like [[Jayjg]], who failed to break the top five in the vote, or blatant frauds like [[Essjay]], who didn't even stand for election, receive the keys to power.
