Proposal

New Rule:

If a player has been in disapproval of a proposal continuously for four days straight, any player may declare that proposal "dead" by editing its wiki page to indicate this status under a "Proposal Status" heading on the proposal's wiki page.

• At the moment a proposal becomes dead, all players are considered to immediately vote against it (regardless of how they may have previously voted regarding the proposal).
• Any new players added to the game are considered to immediately vote against all dead proposals.
• If, by any means, a player votes in favor of a dead proposal, that player is considered to immediately change their vote to be against it.
• If a proposal is dead, no player is permitted to edit its wiki page in such a way that would make it appear not to be dead.

Comments

I originally included the "(not counting time elapsed before the adoption of this rule)" bit because I didn't want proposals to become having already been retroactively dead as soon as this passed, but if a player has to actively declare a proposal dead, I guess it's unnecessary. --Jota 13:47, 27 January 2012 (PST)

Seems like this is kind of in conflict with the Supremajority rule, under which having a player in disapproval of a rule for four days straight isn't really an obstacle to passing it. Baf 17:59, 31 January 2012 (PST)

What if instead it required more than one third of the players to be against it? --Jota 05:08, 1 February 2012 (PST)
