Due to a discrepancy in the 3rd line of the 2nd page of Form D12, this Proposal has been deemed unfit for the eyes of the general public.
That is all.

[ As per this failed italics scam, it’s only a matter of time before someone carries out a genuinely subtle version by italicising a single, emphatic “not”. Or gives us a broken rule by absent-mindedly italicising something for emphasis. ]
In the glossary, replace “Italicized text, also known as Flavor Text, is not considered part of any form of gamestate and may be used to clarify proposals or rules with examples, notes, and flavor text. For example, this italicized text provides an example of the use of italicized text.” with:-
If more than half of the words in a sentence of a rule or proposal are visibly italicised, then that sentence is Flavor Text and is not a legally binding part of the gamestate or ruleset. Flavor Text may be used to clarify proposals or rules with examples, notes or descriptive text.
