I claim, for Ladder Combo, the word “rule”. It has appeared consecutively in 7 previous proposals, and as such has a value of 7.

This breaks things – if the arrow icon is not a voting icon it can’t be a counted vote, and if it’s not an against icon it can’t be used to withdraw proposals.

The reason why I made the arrow icon a sort of against icon in the first place (rather than a new sort of voting icon) is that it substantially decreases the number of patches to the core rules that are necessary to keep the core rules working once the new icon was added; my first draft of the proposal had it as a new voting icon but basically every place in the rules that mentioned against votes needed to be updated to handle revise votes as well, and saying “this is a sort of against icon” patched up all those places automatically.

Oh, and I just noticed that this isn’t a proposal. I think the Emperor can move it into the right category, though.

It’s too late, DoomedIdeas will have to re-post an actual Proposal.

Reposted! My apologies for the mixup.

It wasn’t too late, the Imperial correction rule is when “a post is less than six hours old and appears to the Imperator to have been intended as a Proposal”.

Oops, I think I mixed it up with the 15 minutes for the original author to change it.
