    The two proposals are simple enough.

    A new section on the forum dedicated for members to announce and organize events for the community.

    And a standard time for all forum members to follow, so when an event is organized, the time doesn't need to be converted for anyone who is incapable of converting time zones.

    I demand that my tribunes support this, even though I voted against them.

    Sounds fair enough.

    I think that would only increase difficulty for those people, because they'd always have to convert the time zones. I do think that you should always mention the time zone you live in, so people won't get confused.

    Tough luck, I guess.

    My argument in favor of a standard time was that it would become easier for members to consistently convert to the same time zone from where they live, but never the less, Uni's timezone tool should work fine instead.

    A thank you for your time is in order.

    And as an amendment to the forum section, I propose that all event threads for events that have passed and the threads no longer hold relevance be locked and moved to a sub-section under events, so that current forum events remain prominent and noticeable on the list of event threads.

    I wasn't fast enough to support this, good thing it was implemented anyways.
