Proposal: Puedo ser multilingüe también.
Passes 8-1, reaches Quorum. Perhaps Rodney is correct in that we cannot enforce the conditions, but another proposal in the queue sets up rewards and penalities for not taking Vows seriously. Enacted by Angry Grasshopper.

Add a new rule entitled Vows.
There exist Vows, which Monks can undergo. Vows are tracked in the GNDT. The Abbot may at any time ask a Monk to undergo a Vow, in which case the asked Monk readily accepts. The effects of a Vow last until the Vow is removed. On noon Wednesday and noon Sunday, all Vows are removed. The following are the only possible Vows that Monks may undergo.
Vow of Silence: In all posts and comments, official and unofficial, Monks shall only use the voting icons and the following character strings: “(sigh)”, “grrrr”, and “/me grins”.
Vow of Poverty: Monks shall not increase any of eir GNDT values.
Add a GNDT column entitled “Vow”.
More vows may be added later.
How are we to enforce this? We don’t have mind control.
Angry Grasshopper:
I assume the second is a duplicate, or did I miss something?
Excellent idea. I assume that the language (undergo) allows Monks to set their own Vows, if they like, or had you intended the Abbot alone to set them? The former is much nicer.
