Reword the Building Block that is called “Bounties” in the Building Blocks wiki page into “Request for Mechanic”, and rewrite it as follows:
A Request for Mechanic is a post in the Story Posts - Votable Matter category which broadly requests a single mechanical or ruleset change. Despite its category, it is not a votable matter and any votes on it are ignored. A Request for Mechanic may be Open or Closed being Open by default and being Closed when set to the ‘Enacted’ or ‘Failed’ status in the post backend. The Enacted Status should be used for successfully completed Request for Mechanic, while Failed should be used for ones that were closed for any other reason.
The Puzzler may post a Request for Mechanic, or close an open Request for Mechanic, at any time.
The Puzzler should vote For on any Votable Matter that satisfy the demands of a Request for Mechanic, or clarify which parts of the Votable Matter that the Puzzler feels said Votable Matter does not meet the goals of the Request for Mechanic.
If the Puzzler believes that one or more enacted votable matters satisfy the demand of an open Request for Mechanic, then they may set the Request for Mechanic to Enacted.
First draft; open for revision.
I feel that the current Bounty rule is underused because it does not match what is expected - Bounties is expected to be (if you do a predefined x; get y) as seen in the use of Bounties in The Coregency of ais523 and Josh; but mechanically it fits more of a “the emperor wants your input” role.

Am I missing something, or was this illegally proposed during a pending-DoV hiatus?
