Call for Judgment: Blocking all similar scams
Passes, 11-0. This CfJ “causes all open blog posts older than this… to cease to be open” - there isn’t really a way of marking that, so consider all posts older than this one to be explicitly closed.
Aside: “fail all proposals”. If I could be bothered I would assert that this means that I should fail every proposal ever posted, even the ones that have already passed. Josh

Fail all proposals, and cause all open blog posts older than this CFJ to cease to be open.

It has been open for voting for at least 48 hours, it has continuously been a proposal for that time, it has more than 1 valid vote, more than half of its votes are FOR, and it has not been vetoed or self-killed.
In rule 1.7 “Gamestate Tracking”, after
If no Colonist has commented on it, an official post may be altered or removed by its author; otherwise this can only be done as allowed by the Ruleset.

However, despite this, official posts can never be changed from one category to another, or changed to be a different sort of official post, if they have been posted for more than fifteen minutes.
The first paragraph closes down anyone trying a repeat of the same scam right now (if they can find a really old post, say from another dynasty, which is technically still open for voting); the second and third each independently prevent a similar scam happening due to a future dynastic rule slipup, although both are probably positive fixes.
ais523: Mastermind
I notice that Clucky just edited an unidling post to be unambiguously open for voting (<http://blognomic.com/archive/best_dynasty_ever>), which is rather ingenious (it wasn’t before, but is now); I’ve just commented in order to prevent him editing it into a proposal that actually does something.
