Proposal: Proposal: Climbing the Ladder (and getting shoved back down it) -revised

Times out at 1-14, with 2 arrows, so no PP. Failing. - lilomar

Create a subrule to the rule “Clearance Levels”, call it “ProDemote”, give it the text

To Promote is to raise the clearance level of a Citizen or a Rule, and to Demote is to lower the Clearance Level of a Citizen or a Rule.

* Citizens of ULTRAVIOLET Clearance may Promote to any Clearance and may Demote from VIOLET or lower Clearance.
* Citizens of VIOLET Clearance may Promote to INDIGO or lower Clearance and may Demote from INDIGO or lower Clearance.
* Citizens of INDIGO Clearance may Promote to GREEN or lower Clearance and may Demote from BLUE or lower Clearance.
* Citizens of BLUE Clearance may Promote to ORANGE or lower Clearance and may Demote from GREEN or lower Clearance.
* Citizens of GREEN Clearance may Promote to RED Clearance and may Demote from YELLOW or lower Clearance.
* Citizens of YELLOW Clearance may Promote to RED Clearance and may Demote from RED Clearance.
* Citizens of ORANGE Clearance may Demote from RED Clearance.

In order to Promote or Demote, a Citizen must make a Story Post describing the Promotion or Demotion. More than one Promotion and/or more than one Demotion may be described in a single Story Post. The Promotion(s) and/or Demotion(s) will only take effect after 12 hours have passed. During this period, if a Citizen who may legally Demote from the Clearance of the Author makes a comment to that Story Post that contains the word “OVERRULED”, all Promotions and Demotions made in that Story Post are rendered void.

against .  I don’t particularly want the first person to Orange to have so much power over the Reds.

If an Orange is deemed abusive, the demotions can be overruled and the Orange emselves may be demoted as well.

imperial Also I smell a lot of TREASON coming from this

What have we come to? People are accusing me of treason when my proposal is nearly the same as lilomar’s word-for-word! If someone doesn’t make a fix for this soon I will do it myself.

The proposal isn’t treasonous for it’s contents.

Aww I can’t sway your sympathy? Better go commit suicide 16 times to purge myself of treason

Bucky:

I believe this proposal is not treasonous.  It creates a rule of unspecified (thus INFRARED) Clearance, that is the subrule of a higher-Clearance rule.

[Bucky] But “The Clearance Level of a dynastic rule is the section of the Dynastic rules which it is in.”

against for the same reason as the other one, anyway.

If I had voted “-10” for the other Proposal, I would have voted “-9” here. But, still. against

against This proposal is a treasonous proposal, as it creates a new ultraviolet subrule.

against Would place this in a weird sort of Limbo, as Bucky points out

lilomar:

30-07-2010 14:17:19 UTC

I’m pretty sure that subrules are a part of the parent rule, thus, creating a subrule to rule X creates a subrule with the clearance of X.

Bucky this post has.already an accusation of treason

arrow  against All the above reasons, but I believe that with a little adjustment it could be acceptable. Essentially, it requires some method of power abuse prevention.
This proposal is, however, quite tasty.
