He can easily be tried 7 times on different charges.
The charges this time are clearly laid out above

I wish to defend Ralph Learned members of the court. We all know that Ralph is a fool. He can barely spell his own name as he keeps calling himself "CAPTAIN COOL". How can we be sure he knows how to tell the time. Maybe he thinks a clock face is just an amusing face, and the hands are hilarious eyebrows? I say INNOCENT on this charge! Ralph has never shown he knows how clocks work, as he relies on the library helpdesk for time, and now that has deserted him! Is it illegal to post in a previous week's thread? Can Phil show us the byelaws of this forum? Surely as we are a Transformers thread, we are all about nostalgia? Ralph's posting in the thread was a celebration of week 20, the greatest week of all. Does Phil HATE week 20? Does he HATE nostalgia? Does he HATE Transformers? I say INNOCENT! As speaker of the Hub, M is above and beyond mortal ken. He walks in eternity. Does Phil deny his mighty power? I say INNOCENT! Is it illegal for pulling Phil on trial for instigating an illegal TIME LOCK? Should Doctor Who have let the cruel despot Rassilon off the hook for his actions in the Time War? I say INNOCENT! |

No. THE ULTIMATE AUTHORITY HAS SPOKEN. RALPH IS GUILTY. Then should you lock the poll? |

ILLEGAL ABUSE OF POWER.
First Phil forces Ralph into negative Robot Points thus depriving Ralph of his seat at the Table of Power. And then he calls in the bully men.
Tsk.

I didn't summon Andu.
He smelt the Burns trouble making miles off and arrived all by himself!

I'm not a fan of locking the week threads, we've had situations before where conversations have run on. So on that count I find the Doctor innocent.
The other counts? I am still uncertain. M is a respected member of this forum, and I feel not easily swayed. He acts of his own accord, but is the accused capable of much greater influence now?
On the other hand, starting a new week thread is an offence that the accused has committed repeatedly. But I tend to use my own clock, not the Hub one when posting. Unless in exceptional circumstances, I feel we cannot prove intent here.
Alas, I can no longer cast a vote in this trial, as I was away from the Hub when this went down.
Probably for the best.

I'm not a fan of locking the week threads, we've had situations before where conversations have run on. indeed. I do try to spin conversations out into their own thread if they look like outliving the week. On the other hand, starting a new week thread is an offence that the accused has committed repeatedly. But I tend to use my own clock, not the Hub one when posting. Unless in exceptional circumstances, I feel we cannot prove intent here. i think the mere act of doing it repeatedly, and on some occasions several times on the same night, with different titles proves the intent here! The evidence is collected in The Phantom Zone tmukhub.proboards.com/thread/9615/phantom-zone |

One obvious solution to the problem would be to do away with the week threads and have one long running general thread. But tradition etc....

You'll have to take my word for it, but continuing a week thread into the next week does cause confusion. People go into the General Forum and automatically choose the week thread at the top of the forum as this week's thread. The amount of times I've had to rescue posts intended for somewhere else. Even Burns got confused this week and he'd continued last week's thread! tmukhub.proboards.com/post/369282/thread |

I am mostly on mobile view now (laptop very flakey at connecting to wifi or ethernet currently) and so cannot see my Robot Points!
I also moved country on Sunday night and started a new job this week. I hardly know where I am and what I am doing!

I have no problem controlling Ralph with Robot Points nor deducting them for new week violations (or "close enough" as he tells me).
I do dislike removing his points for more trivial reasons.
And the locking of Week threads for no substantial reason. Too much control of this kind is not healthy for Hub democracy.
