Can anyone explain why Arbcom members are not required to refrain from posting and responding to requests on Wikipedia Review while they are on Arbcom? It seems a basic conflict of interest to be actively promoting the opinions and drawing unnecessary attention to attack posts against Wikipedia contributers by banned users.
I see at least two current Arbcom members posting there quite recently and even responding to requests of banned users to do things on their behalf on Wikipedia (such as John Vandenberg working for Edward Buckner). One might argue that Arbcom members have a right to free speech, however this seems to cross the boundaries into undermining the fundamental principles and the values of the Wikimedia Foundation.
