Can somebody write proper easy to understand explanations of both sides of the arguments here, so they will know what they need to evaluate, please? Both sides arguing should preferably do this.

There's actually been a misunderstanding between both sides.

The opposing side thought that we were asking to add a mandatory explanation for showing blatant "past-present-future" statements being required to be shown to qualify for Low 2-C, which, as we just concluded, is simply not the case.

The only reason it seemed that way is because OP didn't properly clarify that the past-present-future section is only there to define what a space-time continuum is and/or that these are the things a space-time continuum encompasses in full. Which led to this misunderstanding. And the fact that the thread was then severely derailed with Bleach-related topics.

TL;DR: It is not actually required to show additional statements for "past, present and future" being destroyed, the whole past-present-future thing was merely added to further describe what a spacetime-continuum is/what a spacetime-continuum encompasses. Normal sayings of "spacetime-continuum is being destroyed/affected" or "all of space and time will be destroyed" and so on and so forth will be more than enough to qualify for Low 2-C like it always has been, we don't need additional blatant statements like "past, present and future are being destroyed" word-for-word on top, since a spacetime-continuum by default already includes all of time itself (Including past, present and future).

Of course, some people find the need to add that meaning in the brackets as redundant due to the words space-time on the page already linking to the Spacetime article in wikipedia (Which additionally already mentions what a space-time continuum includes: past, present and future) and they think adding the past-present-future stuff again in the comments can get redundant (Which make sense IMHO), but some people also said to add it because people often times get confused regarding it (Despite there literally being a wikipedia link already there that does the same thing).

Basically, OP's justification needs slight re-tweaking so that the whole past-present-future thing doesn't sound mandatory. Gilver had some suggestions which were overlooked.

Disagree side is basically that all this is already covered on the current explanation of the tier 2

"Common fictional examples of spaces representing such sizes are space-time continuums of a universal scale. However, it can be more generally fulfilled by any 4-dimensional space that is either:"

basically Space-time continuum already covers past present and future

So we would have to just prove the character doesn't affect just time but past,present and future?

Once again people, this does not mean that it is actually required to actually show statements where it says "Past, present and future are being destroyed" (It's not mandatory at all), just a mention of "all of space and time is being destroyed" or "the entire space-time continuum is being destroyed" or similar should be more than enough, since a spacetime continuum by definition automatically includes all of the past, present and future, wikipedia article for space-time continuum states as much.
 
Well, to me the suggested change doesn't seem harmful to apply, but I am not a very good person to ask.

That's why we would only add the precision of what spacetime is and nothing more, to prevent any confusion.

No. You don't need additional blatant statements for "past, present and future are destroyed" word for word at all (Sure, it's one of the few ways you can qualify for Low 2-C, but it's not mandatory, never was, never will be). Just a "all of space and time is being destroyed" or "the space-time continuum will be destroyed" or similar statements will be more than enough, since they do the same job as a "past-present-future" statement due to space-time continuums by default already encompassing all of past, present and future.

The "past, present and future" is merely a definition of what a spacetime-continuum is and what it encompasses, nothing more, nothing less. Basically, nothing major really changes by this, just addition of a meaning.

I can see how this helps, I agree.
 
Know this is a staff thread so my bad but I wanted to ask a quick thing real quick for future reference and clarification

From what I got when reading this, mentioning the past, present and future being affected isn’t a mandatory factor since “space-time continuum” by itself already means this. This I understand.

But if we’re going with the latter and not making the former needed to reach tier 2, then wouldn’t we be even more demanding of evidence of space-time in its entirety being effected? And by that, I don’t mean in the sense of asking if all of time across the board is being effected, but if something specifically says the space-time continuum is getting effected, or all of time and space getting effected.

Changing what makes you qualify for the standard is another subject entirely though.

Here it would just have the same standard it currently has. I wouldn't ask proof of all of it being affected (unless you can find an anti-feat with that) the same way we take "the universe was destroyed" as meaning the entire universe.

^I agree with this

If someone is said to be able to destroy all of of a Space-Time Continuum, that's enough for Low 2-C

Uh, what?

Statements of destroying "past, present and future" is equally as valid as statements that say "destroying a space-time continuum"/"destroying all of space and time" to qualify for Low 2-C, only that it's not mandatory to stack a "past-present-future" statement alongside an already-existing "spacetime-continuum bust" statement and vice-versa. It's like an "either one goes" scenario. I don't understand where you got this idea that you'd need more demanding evidence if any one of those statements are shown.

Also who on earth would consider "space-time continuum getting affected" statements as remotely different from "all of space and time being affected" statements?

Agree with this.
 
I would like to suggest a slight revision to the slight revision:

Characters who are capable of significantly affecting[1], creating and/or destroying an area of space that is qualitatively larger than an infinitely-sized 3-dimensional space. Common fictional examples of spaces representing such sizes are space-time continua (the entire past, present and future of 3-dimensional space) of a universal scale.

I also corrected the plural form of "continuum" in the description, if no one minds.
