I currently interpret "there is no such time period" as separate from
"there is such a time period and X didn't happen during it", in which
case this award was ineffective. (See cuddlybanana's CFJ.)
I suppose this case (at least for non-White Ribbons) hinges on which of
those interpretations is the correct one for this sentence. It looks
grammatically ambiguous to me, with its negation having ambiguous scope as
negations do.
If a player has not (been awarded that type of Ribbon or e

vs.
If a player has (not been awarded that type of Ribbon or e

I don't really dispute Murphy's interpretation but think judgements should
point out (or dispute) that there is an ambiguity before they resolve it.
The last and only time I came to qualify for a White Ribbon when I
became a player:
White (W): A player qualifies for a White Ribbon if e has never
previously owned a White Ribbon (including under previous
rulesets). ...
I have not been awarded a White Ribbon or White Glitter since that
time. Isn't the time period in question?
Your original quote left out the previous sentence of 2602:
A player qualifies for a type of Glitter when e
qualifies for the same type of Ribbon while already owning such a
Ribbon.
Clearly the next sentence is _intended_ to apply only when that happens,
but does not actually say so.
Clarifying fix: Change
If a player has not been awarded that type of Ribbon or e
to (including another typo correction)
If such a player has not been awarded that type of Ribbon or the
