Be gentle, its my first time.
After some discussion with more experienced players, I have concluded that we are attempting to solve the 2.1 - 3.2 conflict from entirely the wrong end. Banning official posts from being in any other official category not only generates bugs, but prohibits all sorts of interesting and good ideas. It is not only impractical, but unwise to universally prevent posts from being in multiple categories. While scams may be possible using certain combinations, dangerous combinations should be banned specifically. Do we really want to prevent all rules which classify official posts?
One concern that was brought up was a potential scam involving posts that were simultaneously DoVs and CfJs, and perhaps Proposals as well. Thus, remove the complete prohibition on categorization of official posts by changing, in rule 3.2,
A proposal, or declaration of victory cannot simultaneously be any other type of official post unless otherwise specified by dynastic rules.
to
No entry may be more than one of the following official types of post: Proposal, Call for Justice, and Declaration of Victory.
The concern was also raised, in the current ruleset, that Critiques could then be made secretly - however, this is not prevented by the current prohibition. Thus, require Critiques to be labeled as such by changing, in rule 2.4
An Artist may post a Critique of another Artist’s non-Critique Work of Art
to
An Artist may post a Critique of another Artist’s non-Critique Work of Art by posting an entry with the phrase “A Critique of [Artist]‘s Work” in the title, where [Artist] is the name of the Artist who’s work is being Critiqued. A Critique may not also be a Proposal, Call for Judgement, or Declaration of Victory.
Personally, I do not see a problem with allowing Critiques to also be Proposals or CfJs, though that may be better dealt with at a later time.
The idea here is that the solution to the controversy is to get rid of the ban on categorizing posts, clearing up the current bugs and opening up the game. I would argue that our core posts should be in play for hierarchical and webbed categorization. I also address a small bug dealing with secret Critiques.
I like this wording better than the others, but some issues:

Sorry for the double title.
