Your Honor,
After suppressing NHC's post, I realized I had made a mistake. I quickly unsuppressed the posts less than five minutes later and later apologized to NHC. To be clear, I did not dislike or hate NHC due to his support of Auphelia. Every candidate had my full support, including Auphelia, as shown in this post. For the 103 post rp, I was not online during that time and just heard about it now. I was at a sporting event at that time. 
I do not actually have as much experience, I did not play during June and am only now looking into Auphelia's reign and learning from it for the better. I have been enforcing the rules as well, suppressing many posts from spammers such as the spammer that appeared on TSP today.

That is incorrect, as shown by this post.

------------------------------------------------

Your Honor, I have additional evidence pertaining to the issue of Concrete Slab overly suppressing.

In the post that NHC quotes here, Concrete Slab states:

The RMB etiquette ain't the law, I am

This shows Concrete Slab's disregard for the rules, and the fact that he thinks he can suppress anything he wants with the power. Another Local Council member, The Solar System Scope, replied with "That is horribly incorrect", in this post, where he also proves NHC's reply as correct.

Later, in this post, Concrete Slab logs off and says "Playing dictator was fun!", which shows that he thought of that whole conversation half-jokingly, even though he was discussing serious manners, and everyone replying to him was serious.

I apologize Your Honor.

That was one of two posts at the time on the mobile device. I checked in from the stands, suppressed it, asked for spoilers, and left. Since I was on a mobile device, I did not look at the surrounding posts.

I said that as a joke This is a video game and I am usually a lighthearted person. However, I admit the comment should not have been made. During her case, Auphelia even called herself corrupt here and still was proclaimed innocent, why should this be any different.

Complainants Counsel Testimony

Your Honor,

Following the posting of the complainant and the testimony by the accused I hereby submit my testimony as the complainant's counsel. I will be using the same abbreviations as Beepee.

Let me start off with the first allegations by New Haudenosaunee Confederacy. This post was suppressed by the accused. It clearly shows no illegal Regional Message Board roleplay, and just NHC making points to Concrete Slab. As such, it should have not been suppressed whatsoever. This is in violation of article 2.2 of the Charter, which states that all South Pacificans have the right of "The freedom of speech, including the freedom of expression and the press." Concrete Slab suppressing a post that is not illegal and is only criticizing him is in clear violation of this article. This post has NHC continuing the roleplay, but with a different player then the roleplay had started. NHC was valid to continue this roleplay, as, quoting the current RMB etiquette dispatch,

 "RP is currently allowed on the TSP RMB."

This shows Concrete Slab was, in fact, suppressing these later posts, because they called him out and did not agree with him. This is in violation of the Charter, as previously mentioned above.

Now, I bring up another point related to the suppression: As a native of the RMB, I have seen many, many, roleplays go beyond the limit of 5 posts (Example: This roleplay, which goes 7 posts long and involves Concrete Slab, This roleplay, which goes 8 posts long, and This roleplay, which goes an incredible 103 posts long, maybe more, and which Concrete Slab was online for and didn't do anything about.) including many of that of Concrete Slabs', which is what Concrete Slab claims is the law. Almost all of these roleplays have not been suppressed. So why is New Haudenosaunee Confederacy's post suppressed? Is it maybe because many RMB members have seen New Haudenosaunee Confederacy as annoying in the past? Maybe because New Haudenosaunee Confederacy announced his public support of Auphelia in an Local Council election of Concrete Slab, which maybe caused Concrete Slab to have hatred of NHC, or even against CS' endorsed opponent of Auphelia, Aidenfieeld? The next point I come to is one Concrete Slab made in his first testimony. This is that  

 I am still new at this, it's only my first week, and I suppressed his next two posts just to get back at him and under his skin. In no way am I corrupt, I only have the best interests of TSP in mind. 

Now, Concrete Slab uses the excuse of having little LC experience. This is true. However, Concrete Slab was founded January 25, 2018, and therefore has almost 11 months of being a regular on the RMB. You would think, especially after the chaos during Auphelia's term, would know the rules of the RMB by heart and know what's suppressible and not suppressible, yet he still uses this "New on the job" excuse.
I am disappointed if we elected a Local Councillor who doesn't know the rules of the RMB.

Finally, Concrete Slab says that he has the best interests of TSP in mind. I am pretty sure suppressing posts that critique you are not within the best interests of the South Pacific. If Concrete Slab did  have the best interests of TSP in mind, he would enforce the rule he enforced so hard on NHC on all of the citizens of TSP, and would have been aghast by the 103 post roleplay. But he wasn't.
This evidence clearly shows Concrete Slab has it out for New Haudenosaunee Confederacy and only chooses to enforce the rules when it is against NHC. This is a clear conflict of interest and a singling out of one of the RMB's most valuable community members, and shows that NHC's claims of corruption are valid.

I thank you for your time, Your Honor.     

Your Honor, 

The Complainant's Counsel relies heavily on hearsay and inadmissible evidence to this case.

I would like to remind the court that suppressing posts is not actually a full curtailing of freedom of speech as suppressed posts are still visible by any parties who choose to view them.

I do not understand what the roleplays breaching the five post limit's time of posting have to do with it. It shows that roleplays breach the five post limit frequently, and are not suppressed.

I suppressed the roleplay where I was online. We have three Local Councillors for a reason.

The Court has no interest in the rules that regulate roleplaying on the Regional Message Board, since such roles have no relation to the presente criminal complaint.
