Several comments:
For the sake of consistency with the exiting ruleset, crimes should be
in the opposite order. So "Auction announcers SHALL NOT fail to
correctly ...; doing so constitutes the Class-9 Crime of Auction
Obfuscation".
I would appreciate it if you added "willfully". You can't accidentally
obfuscate something, and that falls under the general Rule 2143
prohibition anyway, which has a much more restrained sentence.
I join with other commenters in requesting a mandatory hashing system
(preferably also requiring a salt). These days it's so simple that
there's no reason not to. It makes everything much simpler, because
everyone can verify it. It's not that I don't trust officers to report
correctly as a matter of social convention, just that if we can make
something verifiable, we should.
