Proposal: Forcibly joining Groups Scam fix

Reached quorum 4 votes to 0. Enacted by Kevan.

Adminned at 21 Dec 2017 19:48:22 UTC

Amend “A Failed Experiment may change groups by posting a Story Post with the [Group] tag that specifies one and only one group the Failed Experiment wants to join (using the group’s index). ” to:

A Failed Experiment may request to change groups by posting a Story Post with the [Group] tag that specifies one and only one group the Failed Experiment wants to join (using the group’s index).

Retroactively annul any Group changes (and any Group Spirit spendings) that have happened between this Proposal being made and it being enacted.

It would’ve been grand if the proposal that let us puppeteer others in a Group would’ve passed, that would’ve been my plan to win (just puppeteer everyone else into making me win when the time came), but oh well. Plugging it now because why not.

I got a spare Acidspitter if anyone would like to trade it for something.

[pokes] What wasn’t real about it? Cuddlebeam used the loophole to take an Ability from Diabecko (and this proposal was made afterwards, so won’t annul it), which means we should tidy this up if there’s disagreement.

I don’t oppose removing the ambiguity, but I don’t think Cuddlebeam joined Diabecko’s group, because I don’t think that

A Failed Experiment may change groups by posting a Story Post with the [Group] tag that specifies one and only one group the Failed Experiment wants to join (using the group’s index). Members of the target group can refuse the request by posting a comment containing the AGAINST icon. If after two days the number of group members voting against is less than half the size of the group (not rounded) then the Failed Experiment who published the post is removed from their previous group and then added to the target group.

means that a FE can change groups unconditionally by only “posting a Story Post…” . There are clearly conditions on the join specified later in the paragraph, just not later in the sentence.

And I hadn’t noticed the effects of the join, so I will CfJ.
