Posting this on behalf of myself Members of tiering councils make decisions that impact entire playerbases. We all hold some stake in the metagames we frequent, but the councils determine their direction. While there are mechanisms to check council power in place, it still is paramount that we...

The results of the recent SV OU Kyurem suspect are changing from Ban to Do Not Ban after we uncovered irrefutable evidence of cheating by a plethora of voters! An individual was repeatedly getting voting requirements and distributing qualified aliases to other users, who elected to use them...
