All due respect, isn't this part of the issue? You say you can give the reasons to someone through Discord but not publicly or on-site, and it seems to simply fuel a region's negative reputation with no actual backing behind it. If there is anything of substance that either of these regions have not answered for or worked past yet, would it not be better to put it out publicly so that other members of the community would be able to form an educated opinion, and these regions could properly address the grievances?
I understand your position as a journalist, Wym, and I don't mean to assume, but if you're working on some big exposé, wouldn't it be better to not add fuel to the fire in the meantime?

I am sure you're coming from a place of honesty, Juris, but KGB's mishandling of a serious OOC matter post-Don still has me doubtful on their improvement, and your testimony isn't enough to move me on that. I wish it was. The region is still proscribed by Osiris, as well, so I can't go in and see the legitimacy of these changes myself.

I can't let this historical innacuracy stand. The end of the 3WB was this realisation R4 wasn't going away, which led to Topid's Condemn Unknown passing after a couple of months of us locking the SC down.

And in that case, the forum post was entirely unnecessary and a simple private telegram to Honeydewistania was adequate. I don't say this with the intent to backseat mod, but with frustration at the lack of public evidence that still manages to sour the reputation of regions simply based on whispers and opinions.

That's actually not my complaint at all. My complaint is that it contributes to the rumor mill, and the rumor mill in this case is very bad to have, such that I must argue against its perpetuation. It devolves any possible real concerns into the likeness of grammar school drama, whispers within the classroom without addressing the subject at hand. "Ooh, did you hear about Jimmy? I can't tell you in class because we'll get in trouble with the teacher if we do, text me about it if you want to know." And Jimmy can't even fully grasp the multitude of rumors circulating about him because very few want to actually address him directly on any perceived issues, and would rather want to continue spreading the rumors, God knows why. And this same issue will occur with other students, like Melissa and Hernandez, with the same group of students being at fault for circulating these rumors.
If TEP, a GCR, is incapable of investigating these troubling “rumors” as you’d call them, then that’s the fault of TEP, not the responsibility of other individuals to inform TEP about the regions they choose to form a block with, especially when TEP seems to not care about this enough to bother to investigate these claims before forming a blockThe Marconian State wrote: Wym is not singularly at fault here. In fact, I'd argue their hands are cleaner than most involved in the perpetuation of the rumor mill. But if people will really take issue with the allies and embassies The East Pacific chooses to make by saying "Really? Them? And Melissa, too? What kind of friends are they making?" without presenting any reasoning to their concerns, how could anyone take those concerns seriously?

I was there, do you not remember my resolution? The one to Commend AMOM, that was voted down in the (at the time) largest downvote in SC history (I really had wished I had a badge for that)... AMOM was upset, and even released a statement.
He lost a commendation, as a leader, because of his stubbornness, and that I proved those good resolutions could be written with R4 in place.
I forced the 3WB into a choice: Either approve of their leader and disavow their principles, or, Uphold their principles and disapprove of their leader.
I, therefore, claim responsibility in where the WA is today. I worked really hard on that resolution. I got it to quorum during the writer's block, and in the end enabled better resolutions from the Security Council.
