Add the following as a subrule to the rule Initialisation, called Brevity:
Any Proposal which would add more than 400 characters net to the dynastic ruleset is unpopular and may not be popular.
400 characters: “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed turpis justo, feugiat in nisi eget, lobortis venenatis nisi. Fusce scelerisque ornare vulputate. Ut mollis, tellus at gravida interdum, felis tortor commodo sem, quis mollis leo tortor id augue. Duis et nunc mattis, mattis massa eget, vehicula mauris. Duis vehicula eros in nunc faucibus, sit amet aliquet metus bibendum. Etiam purus orci.”
I like this for keeping the ruleset short (and the likelihood that players would start cutting back unrelated rules to make more room for an addition elsewhere), but it will make proposal writing harder work.
Kevan: he/him
I thought this would be an onerous thing for enacting admins to have check, but it’s actually easy to see from the ruleset wiki page history how many characters are being added or removed each time - if any enactment edit is above +400, that enactment would be (at least per the wiki’s definition of what a character is) illegal.
