Now that I have thought about this, that's really low. Between political fighting in CA, shouting about imaginary people's characters and power levels in FD and the less than great fanfictions in UF I'd expect reports to be coming in every five minutes rather than two hours.

All things considered I think we're pretty lucky. It's likely that things are being missed, but not so much for the average to be unrepresentative.

That said, it is just an average. Some days are less intense and some are more.
 
Well, you know, the Council was given the ability to choose their own workload for a reason. You guys then chose to give a hearing to a dude who didn't like a Warning for Marginal. :p
In all fairness, foamy, some of us did. And their ability to do so and the ensuing useless faffing about over what was and is IMO a total non-issue was still worth it because of all the other times the tribunal revamp came into play.

Yes, I will say that it would be much easier if everyone on the CC did as I do but that will have to wait until the brain implants are complete but in the end, we - staff and CC together - decided that things would work out best if a third of the CC agreed to hear things out. There have been outliers in both good and bad, but overall it has worked out.
(Also, what is the antonym to a supermajority? Because that's the word I needto describe what 4 out of 12 are and I don't know the word. Goddamn it, English.)
 
Correction:

O'Malley: New, innocent, wide-eyed Councillor
Whiskey: Veteran, embittered, cynicised Councillor

The only difference is time.
This actually far more true than you think.

I, for one, am glad to have both of them on this year's CC.

Oi, I did nothing wrong! :mad:
English is a bastardized mongrel lang uage and it did everything wrong :mad:
If you say so, I am sure we can come to an understanding.
 
Might I humbly suggest that the purported sizes of the councillors' stashes of adult media are outside the scope of this thread?
 
He called Polemarchos out on exactly what he was, and that was an entitled little shit. Sometimes you can just call a bad egg a bad egg you know?
If I were to use that as an excuse would you and the rest of the staff let it fly if I called someone out on their history of blatant dishonesty by saying they're a lying piece of shit?
 
I've seen a person get infracted while backing up a statement like that on this board. Like, a massive wall of citation(was one of the @Vaermina incidents).
 
We are reluctant to take action against Council members over what they say in a Tribunal, since part of that role involves independence of thought and action.

In any other circumstances I would have infracted Whiskey's post.
 
I figure tact can play into this. I'm pretty sure there's a difference between calling someone a "Lying sack of shit" and calling that same person "Horribly dishonest". One's an outright insult. The other less so.

Hmmm?

For something like that where a Council member shows clear personal dislike of the person they are judging how do you know if a Council member isn't letting their personal feelings effect their judgement?
 
We use the input of the whole council to come to a final decision, so I don't really think it's an issue on our end. Ultimately councilors are beholden to the people who vote for them. If you don't like what they do, you don't vote for them at the next election.

That should probably be stated when something like that happens.

And yet the only real method we have to make sure we're informed enough to judge them is largely hidden from us.
