In the rule “Patents” replace
“If any other Corporation uses a patented phrase”
with
“If, after the blog post patenting the phrase has been made, any other Corporation uses a patented phrase”
This is basically to prevent someone from patenting a phrase that was posted two hours ago, and then taking cash. E could repeat this process until e leaves everyone broke. Fixing the rule now will stop that from happening—if anyone does it before this rule passes we can just CfJ to remove the effects.

Ahh… you mean continuously changing your patented phrase to any 4 words in someone’s post? Nasty… wish I’d thought of it.
