FWIW, I'd prefer to expand the set of actions-on-behalf rather than shrinking it (e.g. allowing objections/support to be made on behalf). One of the big advantages of being able to act on behalf is that it takes the guesswork / constant refreshing out of timing scams, as long as you can bribe the person who sends the message you want to react to. If you remove that ability, then being able to get the perfect timing is reliant primarily on how much you can stay online constantly refreshing your email and/or how good you are at writing bots to automatically send a message in response to another message. The latter skill is mildly interesting, but the former skill is something that it's a bad idea to encourage – it's a bad idea to steer people into dedicating too much of their life to playing nomic at the expense of other things, and refreshing your email constantly is one of the ways you can spend a huge amount of time playing nomic. (I kind-of miss the days when it was possible to agree contracts in secret, and have them gain act-on-behalf ability as soon as they were made public, even if the consent itself hadn't been made public. Obviously there are some issues trying to work out the gamestate if that sort of thing is possible, but it meant that you didn't need to make the existence of that sort of agreement public in advance and warn everyone else about what you were up to.) -- ais523
