In the rule “Everyone’s a Critic”, replace “When three or more Artists have expressed Approval of the Critique, the critiqued Artist gains 1 Acclaim if the Critique was Positive, or loses 1 Acclaim if it was Negative.”:-
If three or more Artists have expressed Approval of the Critique, and if the Critique was posted not more than one week ago, the Artist who posted the Critique may Publish it (if they have not already done so) by posting a comment on the Critique to that effect. Upon doing so, the critiqued Artist gains 1 Acclaim if the Critique was Positive, or loses 1 Acclaim if it was Negative.
If any Artist has ever gained any Approval from a Critique, remove that Approval.
It’s arguably another scammable “if X is true, gain +1 Acclaim, repeat this as many times as you like” effect, and it’s certainly an unhelpfully automagical “when this is true, the gamestate changes invisibly” one. They should probably time out, as well, so that people can’t mop up long-forgotten Critiques in the endgame.
