The Guardian article is talking about the five editors dubbed "the five horsemen" by the Gamergate movement, e.g. here: http://wiki.gamergate.me/index.php?title=Projects:Operation_5_Horsemen They're Ryulong, NorthBySouthBaranof, Tarc, TheRedPenOfDoom, and TaraInDC. As things stand, -- Ryulong, Tarc and TaraInDC are currently heading for topic bans; -- TheRedPenOfDoom and NorthBySouthBaranof are being admonished. A potential downside of this decision is that in future, fewer established editors will be eager to deal with situations like this, as they can expect that it will ultimately result in their being drawn into an arbcom case and sanctioned in some way.
