Protosal: Pro and De Motion. Third times the charm (also time for a bit of peer-review)

Remove the sentence “Citizens of ULTRAVIOLET Clearance may change the Clearance Level of any rule of Clearance Violet or lower by making a Story Post stating their intention to do so.” from the rule “Information Clearance”.

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 Clearance and may Demote from GREEN or lower Clearance.
* Citizens of GREEN Clearance may Demote from RED Clearance.

In order to Promote or Demote, a Citizen must make a Story Post describing the Promotion or Demotion, along with their reason for doing so, provided they are below INDIGO clearance. More than one Promotion and/or more than one Demotion may be described in a single Story Post.

These are the authorities granted in the actual game, I had changed them earlier to encourage promoting and demoting, but there is some concern that that will lead to abuse of authority. So, here it is, discuss.

I don‘t get the “demote from” thing. Can‘t I demote myself to green/blue/indigo/violet at once?

for  Keba: Demotion is defined here as going down in rank

I’m confused about something. You have to provide a reason if you’re promoting from below INDIGO, or you have to provide a story post if you’re promoting from below INDIGO? Does that mean that people at or above INDIGO do not need to post in order to ProDemote?

flurie: Giveing a reason is what is optional above INDIGO. I will fix this in the actual proposal to be more clear:

In order to Promote or Demote, a Citizen must make a Story Post describing the Promotion or Demotion. They must Include a reason for doing so, provided they are below INDIGO clearance.

[glospo] But demoting from VIOLET to ULTRAVIOLET (eg.) is not going done in rank?

Keba: ULTRAVIOLET is a higher rank than VIOLET. So you cannot Demote from VIOLET to ULTRAVIOLET. You can Promote from VIOLET to ULTRAVIOLET. (providing you are allowed to do so)
