The phrase "At wit's end", or alternatively "Enough is enough", is used as a motion in ARBCOM cases to indicate that, given numerous attempts to resolve an issue having failed, they will resort to more extreme ways of solving the problem that may appear over-the-top or excessive compared to the individual acts that participants to the dispute may have committed.
The motion is typically accompanied by wording along the lines of:
"In cases where all reasonable attempts to control the spread of disruption arising from long-term disputes have failed, the Committee may be forced to adopt seemingly draconian measures as a last resort for preventing further damage to the encyclopedia"[1]
