Proposal: Copper No Copying

Add a subrule to “Backronym” called “The Word Bank” with the following text

The Word Bank is a publicly tracked, alphabetically sorted list of words.

A Wordsmith may not post a Backronym if the title contains any words currently found in The Word Bank.

When a Wordsmith posts a Backronym, all words in that posts Title are added to The Word Bank

Add the following step to the end of the Acrogenerate Atomic Action

Clear the Word Bank

This will have to play nice with the proposed idea in “Mary Sue” if a revised version of that comes about.
