Awards and honours
gollark: ???
gollark: The broader issue is that you have alienated a bunch of the community by imposing the noncompromise earlier.
gollark: As I said, I consider that compromise fine with regards to the specific issue it is actually addressing.
gollark: I don't actually have any authority whatsoever beyond helper powers and control of ██% of the bots here, really.
gollark: Except you just unilaterally came up with that initial statement, so if I wanted to (and I totally do) I could reinterpret that as you demanding some stuff for nothing in return.
