The Arbitration Committee has resolved by [[Special:Permalink/1207074962#Motion:_appeals_of_CheckUser_blocks_generally_not_heard|motion]] that:

{{ivmbox|The Arbitration Committee resolves to amend the scope of block appeals it handles, thus updating the guidance from [[Special:Permalink/690747247#Motion: BASC disbanded|previous motion]] in 2015, as follows:

The Arbitration Committee hears appeals from editors who are (a) blocked for reasons that are unsuitable for public discussion, or (b) blocked or banned by Arbitration and Arbitration Enforcement decisions. Examples of reasons that are unsuitable for public discussion include blocks (i) marked as an [[Wikipedia:Blocking_policy#Oversight_blocks|Oversight block]], or (ii) based on CheckUser evidence, and where there exists disagreement between checkusers as to the interpretation of the technical evidence. It is expected that blocks marked as a [[Wikipedia:Blocking_policy#CheckUser_blocks|CheckUser block]] are by default appealed on-wiki; however, the Arbitration Committee may hear appeals of such blocks if there are compelling reasons to hear an appeal in private.
