{ Amend rule 2350 “Proposals” as follows: * replace “A player CAN create a proposal by announcement“ with “A player CAN create a proposal With 23 Hours Notice.” * after the list, add a new paragraph: “Additionally, a player CAN, but SHALL NOT, create a proposal by announcement, specifying the same information required above. }Explanation: reduce promotor work by reducing the number of proposals created and soon retracted in favor of a minorly-fixed version. It’s 23 hours so people don’t have to count minutes, just do it at about the same time on the next day. The CAN but SHALL NOT mechanism is there to avoid ossification if dependent actions break.
I'm not completely convinced that this would be significantly better than the status quo, but I will of course defer to the H. Promotor's judgement.
Worrying, I think this might criminalize the creation of all proposals - the dependent actions end up by enabling performing the action by announcement, and this would criminalize the creation of a proposal by announcement, so I think this even criminalizes the dependent action method.
And a style thing: a little while ago, we decided that all uses of dependent actions should be as lowercase as possible, so "with 23 hours notice" would be preferred to "With 23 Hours Notice". [There are still some inconsistencies; those were my fault by botching the cleanup proposal.]
