Nomic 2/Proposals/The Standing Rule

Proposal

Only players can propose rules. Fang is a player.

Proposed by

Fang 12:24, 20 January 2012 (PST)

• Matthew: Yes
• Jota: Nay, but only for technical reasons: I'd prefer to use the Revolving Door rule to add players rather than adding them in separate, individual rules, and I'd like to have a firm definition of what a Proposal is (e.g. "What the Heck...") before making the rule that only players can make them
• Baf: Nay. Like Jota, I don't think we should be using rule proposals to add players, but in addition, I don't see a need for the rest of the rule either. Why not let non-players propose rules? If we don't like what they propose, we can just vote it down. I don't think there's much danger of us getting inundated with so many outside proposals that it becomes a problem.
• Roger: Nay; this gives me an uneasy feeling in the pit of my bowels.
• vimes: Nay. Players get in without rules, and we don't have a spam problem.
• All players effectively vote against this proposal due to its being declared dead.

Proposal Status

I hereby declare this proposal dead, as Baf, Roger, vimes and I are against it. --Jota 18:07, 27 February 2012 (PST)
