Proposal: [Building Blocks] Back to the Drawing Board
Repeal the dynastic rule “Wording Fixes” if it exists.
Add a new rule to the Building Blocks section called “Revisions Allowed” with the following text:
For use in voting, an arrow https://blognomic.com/images/vote/arrow.gif shall represent a Vote of REVISE, which is treated the same as an AGAINST voting icon with respect to all other rules except when a rule explicitly describes other uses or effects of the REVISE voting icon. Nomicers should use an AGAINST voting icon when voting against a proposal due to disagreement with the general idea behind the proposal and should use a REVISE voting icon when voting against a proposal for which they agree with the general idea behind the proposal, but disagree with the details or with the exact wording.
If a proposal’s author withdraws it using REVISE, and there were at least as many votes REVISE as votes AGAINST among the other (non-author) Nomicers’ Votes on that proposal at the time, then the proposal ceases to count against that author’s limit of 2 pending proposals and can be failed by any Admin, even if it is not the oldest pending proposal, and the author should submit a corrected version. If a proposal’s author is planning to withdraw a proposal, but not to submit a corrected version, they should withdraw it by voting AGAINST.
The “arrow” method worked really well in this dynasty, thanks to ais having the idea available and proposing it. Maybe we want to make it an optional thing going forward for any dynasty? This essentially moves “Wording Fixes” into a Building Block, but with some changes as mentioned in the comments to Instead of Edits to improve the wording.
