    I didn't get too much opposition to this when I posted, so I'm putting it to a vote now, so I can concentrate on the other two amendments.

    Please, pass this. It's a minor piece of legislation, but an important safeguard. It could also be useful in RP if the Court amendment passes, too.

          Maybe that will be dealt by the court under the name of "Defamation trials"

            Ok. I just want this covered after seeing Archaic's irrational (he of all people!) debate style.

              I don't think it's forbidden to shout names at people under Apolyton rules. Ask Markos though.
