“Official Posts” contains a hyperlink with the text “post”. Replace the target of that hyperlink with “https://blognomic.com/update/index.php?/cp/content_publish/entry_form&channel_id=2” which is the correct link.

In “Official Posts”, replace “An official post may be altered by its author if it is less than two hours old and either no Nobleman has commented on it or (if it is a Votable Matter) if all comments on it contain no voting icons” with “An official post may be altered by its author if it is less than two hours old and either all comments on it contain no voting icons or (if it is not a Votable Matter) if no Nobleman has commented on it”.

In “Official Posts”, replace “Firstly, whilst a non-official post has been posted for less than fifteen minutes and has no comments, the author may change the categories as they wish.” with “Firstly, whilst a non-official post has been posted for less than fifteen minutes and has no comments containing voting icons, the author may change the categories as they wish.”

  1. A correction that goes beyond obvious typos.
  2. A correction that makes altering Votable Matters based on comments actually work as we all think it does.
  3. A correction allowing sanity checks.

Chesterton’s Fence check: why does the third situation draw the line at non-vote comments, and what scams open up if we remove that? (Off the top of my head, there’s scope for a “sign here” death warrant trick if a dynasty has a rule for some official post type that reacts to comments made on it. Any innocent post can be changed into that type after a victim has made a comment.)

#2 changes non-votable official posts to be alterable within two hours if they have comments but no votes. This isn’t how we think it currently works, is it? It’s also scammable in the same way as above: if I make an arrest warrant post that isn’t votable but requires a “signature” comment from Louis XIV, I can change the name on it after he’s commented.

...I think I’ve straight up missed the boat on this one. #2 needs a redraft and #3 needs a massive redraft. Back to the drawing board. shakes head at self
