Amend Rule 1728 (Tabled Actions) by replacing the paragraph beginning "A person CAN act" with the following { A person, acting as emself, CAN by announcement table an intent (syn. "intend") to perform a tabled action, clearly, conspicuously, explicitly, and without obfuscation specifying the action, the method (including non-default parameter values), and, optionally, conditions. } [Resubmission of P8707 without the "highest possible communication standard" clause.] ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 8719 Title: Proposal order clarification Adoption index: 3.0 Author: Janet Co-authors: Amend Rule 106 by replacing the sentence "When a proposal takes effect, the proposal applies the changes that it specifies, except as prohibited by other rules." with the following: { When a proposal takes effect, the proposal applies the changes that it specifies in its text, except as prohibited by other rules. Unless otherwise specified by the text, the effects are applied in the order they appear in the text. } [Clarify that the only place that proposal effects can be "specified" is in the text and explicitly state that the effects are applied in listed order.] ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 8720 Title: Actually reward proposals Adoption index: 1.0 Author: Janet Co-authors: Amend Rule 2496 by replacing "Being the author of an adopted sponsored proposal" with "Being the author of an adopted proposal". ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 8811 Title: Infractions Adoption index: 2.0 Author: nix Co-authors: [This proposal seeks to replace the current criminal system with an Infraction system. This is meant to be a simplified system that is adjusted based on severity. The biggest change is that blots are automatic. A class N infraction gets N blots as soon as it happens. The Investigator can, however, tweak them up or down. There is some guiding language to encourage this. Blots are removed weekly by any player that hasn't gained one this week or last (to prevent timing silliness). This means serious infractions will either take you a while to recover from, or require multiple players to forgive you.] Amend R2555 (Blots) to read, in full: Blots are an indestructible fixed currency with ownership restricted to persons. A person with 1 or more blots is Impure, a person with 0 blots is Pure. An impure unregistered person is a Fugitive. The Referee is an office, and the recordkeepor for blots. To expunge a blot is to destroy it. Destroying blots is secured with a Power Threshold of 1.7. A person CAN, by announcement, create a specified number of blots in eir possession. Any player who has not expunged a blot by this method this week CAN expunge 1 blot from a specified player who has not gained a blot this or the previous week, by announcement. At the beginning of each quarter, half (rounded down) of each fugitive's blots are destroyed. Amend R2478 to be titled "Infractions" and to read, in full: An Infraction is a violation of a SHALL or SHALL NOT in a rule. The infracter for an infraction is the person who committed the infraction. The Investigator for an infraction is the Referee unless e is the infracter. Otherwise, it is the Arbitor. The Class of an infraction is 2 unless a rule specifies a different Class for it. When a player commits an infraction, N blots are created in eir possession, where N is the class of the infraction. A player CAN, by announcement, "note" an infraction committed by any other player in the last 7 days by specifying the incident and the rule that contains the SHALL or SHALL NOT (or name of the Infraction if it has one). The Investigator of an infraction CAN and SHALL once by announcement grant 1 boatload of coins to the player that noted the infraction in a timely manner after e does so. The Referee's weekly report contains a list of Infractions committed in the previous week. The Investigator of an infraction CAN, by announcement, "reduce" the infraction by specifying a reason and a number between 1 and half of N (inclusive and rounded up), where N is the class of the infraction. When e does so, N (or all if N is greater than all) blots in possession of the infracter are expunged. E SHOULD do so if e believes the infraction was inconsequential or unavoidable, or if e believes the infracter has fixed it or shown remorse. The Investigator of an infraction CAN, by announcement, "increase" the infraction by specifying a reason and a number between 1 and half of N (inclusive and rounded down), where N is the class of the infraction. When e does so, N blots are created in the infracter's possession. E SHOULD do so if e believes the infraction was harmful, belligerent, or intentional. The above notwithstanding, an infraction CANNOT be increased or reduced if it happened more than 14 days ago or it has already been increased or reduced. Repeal rules 2557 "Sentencing Guidelines" and 2531 "Defendant's Rights". Amend Rules 2660 (Birds), 2143 (Official Reports and Duties), 2202 (Ratification Without Objection), 2450 (Pledges), and 2545 (Auctions) in the given order by replacing every instance of the word "crime" with "infraction". //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
