This page is a draft of a request for arbitration that has not yet been made, yet is under my consideration to make. It is not an attack page, a permanent page, a page I own, or an attempt to coerce anyone. Thank you.

Confirmation that all parties are aware of the request

Confirmation that other steps in dispute resolution have been tried

Warned of uncivil behavior

Other avenues have not been pursued in light of Betacommand's statements welcoming an arbcom, stating an RfC would be a waste of time, note that suggestions will not be taken in forum and in light of the RfC-style nature of the WP:AN/B subpage.

I bring this request with a heavy heart. Having supported the process to make all images fairuse compliant and defended Betacommand numerous times against what I felt were unfair attacks I believed that the end of the legacy image tagging project would result in an end to the constant debate, however, I now believe I misjudged the situation. Over the last several months Betacommand has violated several behavioral guidelines. While this would normally not be enough to warrant an Arbcom, he has also violated Bot Policy on multiple occasions with his bot, BetacommandBot (talk · contribs). This is not an isolated incident, but rather a lengthy pattern of behavior in various forums. Prior attempts as dispute resolution have been unsuccessful in part due to his refusal to actively engage in meaningful conversation and in part due to the ad-hoc nature of the pre-Arbcom DR steps. Specifically, I take issue with:

The irresponsible spamming of MickMacNee's talk page. WP:DR is not an optional process to be followed when we feel like it.
Disregarding the explicit wording of Bot Policy in using a bot on People Categories.
Running up the edit count of the mainpage without prior approval
Continuing to refuse to communicate with regard to good faith inquiries and community consensus
Responding to matters in an uncivil manner despite being aware of the policies and having been warned multiple times. What some might call a fait accompli.

For the record, I state the following policies and guidelines I feel Betacommand has violated, with supporting diffs.
