Bucky says vote 
on the DoV. Also, any admin can confirm that yes, it’s Yoda who keeps trying to edit this. Please take this argument to the actual comments or else I will make threats.
Why? There’s still no good reason to vote against the DoV that hasn’t been answered somewhere in the thread.
It’s a legit win, much more robust than plenty we’ve waved through in the past.
Aside from Yoda not having enough money to do all that stuff you mean?
Just because we’ve ‘waved through’ bad DoVs before doesn’t mean we should have, or that it’s right to do so now.
Yeah, that’s based on the shareholder meeting / proposal scam, which has been answered elsewhere in the thread. I honestly don’t believe that ais’ interpretation of the rules there is incorrect; it rests on an ambiguity, but the fact that proposals are “enacted” while shareholder meetings are “approved” means that the resolution process for them is clearly separable. The shareholder meeting met the qualifications to be approved, and did so in a post that was a proposal.
You’re right, we have waved through bad DoVs before, but this isn’t one. It’s based on an actually pretty solid scam.
the point is, does “by proposal” mean “Because of the enactement of a proposal” or “Because of a gamestate change that started by a Proposal Post”?
The first one for me.
It explicitly says by Proposal as a means (as opposed to as an instrument).
Actually it’s the other way round, it says that it has to be approved if it is changed by “any means other than a proposal”.
For me, at least, this is significant as it’s the difference between proving a positive and a negative. If you look at the scam that was carried out and test it against the exception statement that the rule currently carries (‘was the Business Plan “changed by any means other than by Proposal”?’) then the answer is, for me, a clear no - the means was a proposal that was also a shareholder meeting, and indivisibly so.
If we were testing it against the positive recast of the sentence (‘was the business plan “changed by a proposal”?) then perhaps it would change the emphasis?
In any case, I think I understand your objection now, although I still don’t agree with it.
