Scam-opposed seems like a good call, but the Imperial Styles wiki page is considered to be gamestate these days (because the ruleset includes a link to it), so it can’t be amended at will, it needs a proposed amendment.

It’s fine to play on regardless, though, because the style declaration isn’t itself binding.

(For reference the style was added as “won’t remark on minor scams, but might move to close major loopholes; might veto major scams; will usually only assist in a scam if the rules require them to”.)
