While I favor this in principle, a lot of actions were dependent on other actions made by this rule. For instance, my ascension to ULTRAVIOLET won’t have worked if I was RED at the time (I was promoted to ORANGE by that rule), for no reason other than I didn’t know my clearance. This CfJ should specify more exact consequences, or else a significant amount of gamestate recalculation is necessary.

But it didn’t work anyway. All that’s happening is that our gamestate - according to the ruleset and GNDT at the moment - is wrong. Recalculating now is better than having to recalculate down the line.

per coppro

because it should be the work of the CfJ author _what_ to revert and not the work of the enacting admin.

per Keba, and because changing the gamestate to match the way we thought it was is better than trying to recalculate.

I’m not sure that I buy the argument that the pro/demotion posts weren’t Story Posts either. Both of the examples cited seem to describe the promotion or demotion to me, which means that they were following the format, and were, therefor, Story Posts, and legal.

Also, now that I read the arguments again, I would argue that BlogNomic does, more or less, have an ISIDTID policy. Take my recent to-ultraviolet scam - I accomplished my actions (in particular, awarding myself 9000 PP and triggering NEGATV) merely by saying I did them, rather than by actually going to the GNDT and doing them.

@coppro: There’s a rule that you can combine multiple GNDT updates into one. That’s not really the same as ISIDTID.

Otherwise, I could just post a story post saying “I win” and win.

Although yes, poor form not to phrase this as “set gamestate to XYZ to fix past actions; undo any actions made since this post”.

I agree with Kevan. I think there might be some more favorable votes if you were more particular about the changes.

As far as I can tell, the following corrections would take place:
- flurie’s clearance is probably different (the exact value depends on the legality of various actions that flurie made over the last few days, which is still disputed). Note that he was on RED clearance before the scams started.
- jmrdex is INFRARED clearance
- coppro is VIOLET clearance (due to his scam working, but starting from a different starting point)
- Bucky is RED clearance
- Darth Cliche is RED clearance
- Anonyman is INFRARED clearance
- Princerepulsive is INFRARED clerance
- Wakukee is INFRARED clearance
- ais523 is RED clearance, and has enough treason to be terminated immediately (my scam failed because I wasn’t in any societies after all)
- Darknight has 4 more TP
- Kyre will have 3 more TP, if he ever unidles
- Proposal Perversity is RED clearance
- Travel Permits is INFRARED clearance
- We Are Not Alone is INFRARED clerance
- The Locked Room is RED clearance

I think that’s it; anyone else want to check this list for mistakes?

Hmm, the above list may be wrong, I think I went too far back in time. BlogNomic’s so hard to track, what with the time proposals are enacted having little in common with the time they’re proposed, and only the second being shown in-order in the blog.

I would like to point out that I made it to BLUE clearance without the use of ProDemotion. I don’t think anyone else was not promoted at some point.

And in fact, if my CoC scam was legal, I made it to ULTRAVIOLET legally as well.

I would still be RED; my scam won’t have worked at all because every promotion I attempted was impossible (starting from trying to promote myself to YELLOW)

Coppro would still be RED but with enough PP to promote himself back to UV.

    since this has now been fixed

CoV as this is now irrelevant. (Can it be auto-failed, due to making no changes? Anything it would revert has already been reverted.)
