Fewer than a quorum not voting AGAINST. Failed by JonathanDark.

Add a subrule to “Acronym” called “Nicknames” with the following text
Each Wordsmith may have a Nickname. Nicknames are publicly tracked strings that are between 3 and 10 letters long and consist only of alphabetical letters. If the only thing a proposal does is change the nickname of the wordsmith who is the author of that proposal, such a proposal does not count against that author’s limit of 2 pending proposals and may be enacted at any time provided it still has a quorum of FOR votes
Replace steps of the the “Names” Acrotype with the following
* For the purposes of the rest of these steps, if a Wordsmith has a Nickname their Name is considered to be their Nickname rather than their actual Name
* Create a set containing the names of all active Wordsmiths.
* In that set, remove the name of any Wordsmith selected in a Acrogenerate action performed with an Acrotype of “Names” this dynasty (unless this would remove all Wordsmiths, in which case skip this step)
* Publicly randomly select a Wordsmith’s name from that set.
* Set the Acronym to that Wordsmith’s name, with any characters other than alphabetical letters removed and with it trimmed to only its first 10 letters if it would otherwise be more than 10 letters long
Turns out the blog has a limit of 100 words in a proposal title.
At 14 letters, “Trapdoorspyder” could easily run into problems where people can’t otherwise post a valid Backronym and are limited to using really short words. Would rather just use “TDS” or some other shorter name they want to pick.
