Proposal: Peer Review

Self-killed. — Quirck

Enact a new rule entitled “[COR] Corrections” with the following text:

A Proposal is a Correction if it satisfies the following (possibly in the flavour text):

  • It contains a Citation to another Proposal (the Original) that was Pending when the first Correction was submitted.
  • It explicitly indicates that it is a Correction of that proposal.
  • It contains an explanation of one or more errors in the Original.
      Students should not vote FOR a Correction unless it proposes substantially the same changes as the Original and it fixes the errors described. When a Correction is Enacted, if the Original Failed, then the author of the Correction Scores.

      An important part of nomic is the ability to critique others’ work and improve on it. This should encourage all pupils to stay vigilant for mistakes made by others and improve on them, and thus this will lead to a higher-quality learning experience for all students.

Eh, i guess you meant to close the ul tag.. and blockquote as well :) I guess it can be legally done as typo fixing.

Wouldn’t it encourage to vote down proposals that contain minor flaws that can be safely patched (such as VPP)?

Perhaps for the author. The intent is that the other students would rather pass the original, so the author won’t get the score unless the original is sufficiently flawed as to fail.

The author can fail his proposal regardless of other students’ votes
