Overview

The Tribunal forum exists for members of the Total War Center forums who have been given infractions by forum moderators to appeal their case to a panel of elected judges (Tribunes), as well as a sub forum containing archives of past tribunal cases that anyone can look at. The Tribunal has existed at various times for various durations, but has only come within the influence of the Curia rather than moderation staff following the implementation of the March 2007 Constitution.
