I think the part about "secret bans" doesn't make any sense. There was no secret ban in this case, and ArbCom discussion doesn't center on that question. The bit about "secret bans" was a misunderstanding only, at the beginning of the discussion. Putting it in Signpost strikes me as WP:UNDUE, particularly without explanation!--Jimbo Wales (talk) 19:17, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The sentence in question just says "Several proposed principles deal with the process of imposing a ban and the illegitimacy of "secret bans". That is taken from this proposed principle by arb Kirill, among others he proposes which discuss the issue of bans. I would be glad to add in some additional explanation, but the sentence is itself true. Best regards, Lord Roem (talk) 19:28, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
