What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
Adds a discord channel for each server region (USA and UK) where every tribunal (unless specifically specified as a private tribunal due to the nature of the offenses) is announced, with a brief description, a date, and time. The Ethics Committee, O5 Council, and Site Administration would be responsible for posting in this channel.
NOTE: It can always be an option to restrict this channel so only whitelisted positions (MTF, Level 4, etc) can view it, if abuse is a concern. Private Tribunals will remain restricted to relevant personnel.
Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
+Informational
People often have no clue when a tribunal is gonna happen, and some people enjoy spectating them if they're public tribunals. This channel will educate people further on the Tribunal process, and when one will occur.
+Utility
Having this channel can also act as a public log for tribunals. This can be used for various purposes, such as "historical record" for the server, keeping tabs on what's going on, and remaining up to date.
Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
-Abuse
Players can use this information to "raid" the tribunal. The best fix for this has been mentioned in my note above.
Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
I believe this is just a cool thing that could be added. It takes no effort to make or maintain, and keeps players informed. It could also encourage players to roleplay and educate people more on tribunal rp and such.
