gollark: I can't.
gollark: Sorry for the horrible formatting but I can't do much better.
gollark: <@293066066605768714> As detailed in infocontext.txt palaiologos also wants acknowledgement that you got this.
gollark: Hello! As you may know, I am (barely) staff in old esolangs. For transparency purposes I also share some of the staff discussion which goes on there. They recently complained about this; palaiologos apparently wants me to post *full* context for staff discussions instead of my somewhat small screenshots, including retroactively in the case of the rules change discussion since apparently people have been led to believe that the staff weren't mostly in favour of this. Thusly, here you go.
gollark: And also the permissions system, via [REDACTED] beeonic incursions.
