Create a subrule to the rule “Clearance Levels”, call it “ProDemote”, give it the text
To Promote is to raise the clearance level of a Citizen or a Rule, and to Demote is to lower the Clearance Level of a Citizen or a Rule.
* Citizens of ULTRAVIOLET Clearance may Promote to any Clearance and may Demote from VIOLET or lower Clearance.
* Citizens of VIOLET Clearance may Promote to INDIGO or lower Clearance and may Demote from INDIGO or lower Clearance.
* Citizens of INDIGO Clearance may Promote to GREEN or lower Clearance and may Demote from BLUE or lower Clearance.
* Citizens of BLUE Clearance may Promote to ORANGE or lower Clearance and may Demote from GREEN or lower Clearance.
* Citizens of GREEN Clearance may Promote to RED Clearance and may Demote from YELLOW or lower Clearance.
* Citizens of YELLOW Clearance may Promote to RED Clearance and may Demote from RED Clearance.
* Citizens of ORANGE Clearance may Demote from RED Clearance.In order to Promote or Demote, a Citizen must make a Story Post describing the Promotion or Demotion. More than one Promotion and/or more than one Demotion may be described in a single Story Post. If, within 24 hours of such a Story Post being posted, a Citizen who may legally Demote from the Clearance of the Author makes a comment to that Story Post that contains the word “OVERRULED”, all Promotions and Demotions made in that Story Post are reverted.
Comments
Hix:
By the time an overruling happens, it might be hard to figure out how to revert. For example, if someone’s clearance has changed several times since the Story Post.
Keba:
If you are ULTRAVIOLET, you can promote to any Clearance. If not, you can become ULTRAVIOLET while demoting from any other Clearance.
Additionally “to Demote is to lower the Clearance Level” contradicts with eg. “Citizens of ULTRAVIOLET Clearance may Promote to any Clearance and may Demote from VIOLET or lower Clearance.”, as “VIOLET or lower Clearance” is a lower Clearance than ULTRAVIOLET, demoting from those Clearances would mean to raise, but per definition it should lower Clearance. It‘s similar for the other Levels.
Generally, I do not see what you try to achieve. In my opinion “climbing up” should be a hard/long process.
