Proposal: free speech

Passes at 11-1. I’m treating Rule 2.1.1 as a separate rule from 2.1 (and therefore not removing it). -Purplebeard

in rule two point one remove all but the first sentence and the second sentence and the third sentence.

This is a proposal to remove the intelligence restrictions on word usage. It’s a nice gimmick, but I’m wondering if it’s what’s slowing the game down - rewriting this one-sentence proposal to fit the rules was fun, but I’ve sat down to write more ambitious amendments in the past week, and the restrictions (particularly not even being able to quote an existing rule) have just been too disheartening.

for I liked the idea quite a bit. However the unability to cite properly is unnerving (or as caveman would say: a pain in the place sun never shines)

Won’t that also remove subrule 2.1.1? So no more INT for proposals?

imperial I’ll defer to PB, although I don’t think that the restrictions are causing the slowdown per se, so much as the lack of a defined core mechanic.

Also, did we not pass a rule allowing quotes from existing rules to be exempt from these restrictions?
