Oh wow. Insightful, if slightly depressing read. @kr3ith I urge you to go through the topic that was thoughtfully posted by the ambassador. Thank you, @elijustrying .
What you choose to do outside of Wayfarer, I will neither condone nor condemn, but if your intentions are pure, I would not discourage you from trying to contribute to and/or participate with your local community.
All I can advise after reading the topic is to be careful with how you consolidate and present your nominations in the future.
Best of luck and hope things turn out alright.
