3. The Storting bestows on trader the title "Lord of Minecraft."

4. The Storting hereby awards trader the Commendation of Wintreath.

I like it, and Trader definitely deserves a commendation.

However, I think this should include some language on what he contributed while an operator, things such as his rewriting of the operator/code of conduct guidelines, and how he was there to heal strife during our last "schism". This may need to wait until everything on his front is "fully resolved", for lack of a better term, as he feels there is still work to be done.

And the first instance of Crown Prince needs to be capitalized.

Perhaps his contribution towards damage control / mitigation to facilitate understanding on both sides during the recent exodus can be stated?

Also spearheading the reform of rules and rules enforcement in discord to be more effective in dealing with conflicts before they escalate.

If there’s no other additions, I motion to vote

d) Service to Wintreath as a member of the operators team and the head operator/moderator on Discord, where he rewrote the operator/code of conduct guidelines¹, reformed rules rules² in discord to be more effective in dealing with conflicts before they escalate, and serving as a leader during the troubling times between February and July of 2020,

1. I'm wondering if "rewrote the operator code of conduct" would sound better.
2. I think we only need one "rules".
3. There's some verb-tense disagreement here. Specifically, we go from him having "reformed rules" to "serving as leader". Perhaps we should have a separate bullet for his service during the troubling times of 2020 and reword it to "Service as a community leader during the troubling times of February and July 2020, where he worked to heal the community and help us overcome our differences".

4. Perhaps also we can note specifically how many terms he has served in the UH and OH for sections (b) and (c)
