Proposal: Correctly mistaken

Reaches quorum 5-0 and is enacted -SingularByte

Change the text of “Golden Rule” to read as follows (where “*” represents the start of a list item):

Whenever a proposal is resolved, the Equity of the Nomicer who posted it changes as follows:
* if the Imperator’s EVC on that proposal contained the word “trash”, that Equity reduces by 2; otherwise
* if the Imperator’s EVC on that proposal contained the word “self-fix”, that Equity stays unchanged; otherwise
* if the proposal was withdrawn with an arrow AGAINST icon, that Equity stays unchanged; otherwise
* that Equity increases by 2.

Currently, making a mistake in a proposal and then fixing it yourself gains 4 Equity, whereas getting it right first time gains 2 Equity, which is something of a perverse incentive to make mistakes in proposals – that shouldn’t be rewarded more highly than getting it right first time. As such, this gives the Imperator an option to deny Equity for a proposal that is fixing another proposal by the same Nomicer.
