Proposal: Proposal [Trivial]

Vetoed.—Kevan

Adminned at 31 Jul 2006 07:34:06 UTC

One thing bugs me about the current version of “The Grand Scheme”:  The text “A Traveller’s name may only be added as a keyword by that Traveller themselves.”  Not only does it block the Arbiter’s free access to the timeline, but it also may block other legit timeline edits such as proposals or CfJs that undo illegal actions.

Therefore, remove all sentences containing the text “A Traveller’s name may only be added as a keyword by that Traveller themselves”  from the Rule entitled “The Grand Scheme”.  Ignore italicized text when adminning this Proposal.

against [sighs] The rest of the sentence you are proposing to delete is “and may only be added as a Trigger Event, not as a side effect”, of course.

I don’t see why that’s relevant either.

Because someone at a busy, historical Node Event could instantly add their name to a large number of Nodes. (I don’t see why you had to use disingenuous proposal wording if you thought it was irrelevant.)

I’m only worried about the sentence “A Traveller’s name may only be added as a keyword by that Traveller themselves.”

No such sentence exists in the ruleset.  or are you pretending that you haven’t noticed that?
