*Please note: Question number 1 in CoC infractions and Punishment mistakenly offered 2 ways of saying no to changing the number of infractions. The total number is the largest, so for now there will be no change to the number of violations.
I am not taking comments on this vote. This is just for information. The new CoC will be drawn up and presented to the community and will be open for questions.
