In such a review, the Committee may impose appropriate sanctions including but not limited to the revocation of any user's privilege to use automated tools such as bots and scripts, revocation of other privileges, topic bans, civility restrictions, or any other remedies needed to end the disruption. Nothing in this paragraph restricts the authority of administrators to take appropriate action to deal with any disruptive incidents that may occur. Motion: Pursuant to the provisions of Remedy 5.1, and mindful of the recent and current disputes surrounding this user in many fora, the committee by motion indefinitely topic-bans Δ (formerly known as Betacommand) from making any edit enforcing the non-free content criteria, broadly construed. User:Δ is also formally reminded of the civility restriction and other terms to which they are still subject as a condition of the provisional suspension of their community ban. |

| Interactions at GGTF | Editing restriction | Eric Corbett agrees to a restriction prohibiting him from shouting at, swearing at, insulting and/or belittling other editors. The restriction comes into immediate effect on the passing of this motion.If Eric Corbett finds himself tempted to engage in prohibited conduct, he is to disengage and either let the matter drop or refer it to another editor to resolve.If however, in the opinion of an uninvolved administrator, Eric Corbett does engage in prohibited conduct, he may be blocked. The first two such blocks shall be of 72 hours duration, increasing thereafter for each subsequent breach to one week, one month, and three months. Any blocks under this provision are arbitration enforcement actions and may only be reviewed or appealed at the arbitration enforcement noticeboard. Should a fifth block (three months) prove necessary, the blocking administrator must notify the Arbitration Committee of the block via a Request for Clarification and Amendment so that the remedy may be reviewed.The enforcing administrator may also at their discretion fully protect Eric Corbett's talk page for the duration of the block.Nothing in this remedy prevents enforcement of policy by uninvolved administrators in the usual way. Remedy 1.1 of the Arbitration enforcement 2 case "mandates that all enforcement requests [for sanctions imposed at in the Interactions at GGTF case] relating to [Eric Corbett] be filed at arbitration enforcement and be kept open for at least 24 hours". | Indefinite | |

An uninvolved admin may remove any comments in violation of this remedy, and may enforce it with blocks if necessary. | Indefinite | |
| Lightbreather | Interaction ban | The default i-ban exceptions remain in place but improper use of them by Lightbreather is sanctionable as an i-ban evasion.

After at least six months have elapsed, Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) may appeal to the Committee to have the topic ban lifted in full; in order for appeals of this remedy to be considered, he shall be required to submit evidence of substantial work on his part towards resolving the Contributor Copyright Investigations filed against him, most particularly the one focused on his text contributions. | Indefinite | ||
