"Getting overly incensed and accusing others of strawmanning, as well as just outright refusing to debate with others legitimately is inherently discruptive. Please refrain from doing so in the future." The person I was talking to did in fact strawman my post.

These are the final Tribunals of the 2022 - 2023 Community Council term. Due to the approaching Council nominations and elections, any Tribunals requested or initiated after this point will be delayed until the 2023 - 2024 term of the Community Council.

I'd like to thank all the Community Council for their time and efforts during these Tribunals. The consideration of how rules are interpreted and applied on Sufficient Velocity may sometimes seem like a dry and thankless task, but it is a vital one. I wish all the Community Council the best going forward and hope they continue to enjoy their time on Sufficient Velocity.

Also, I will whine at Xon until he brings back the service ribbons or until I get distracted, I swear it.
