Proposal: Representation has a risk

REPRESENTING: coppro

In today’s economy, uncertainty is too dangerous.  Shareholders need a firm yes or no!

Amend the rule “Involuntary Representation Service” by appending:

Players Represented by a Proposal receive no SP from that Proposal if they vote DEFERENTIAL on that Proposal.

If the proposal at Counteract representation inflation! failed, and more than half of the EVCs on this proposal contain “And another thing” also append to “Involuntary Representation Service”:

If a Player Represented by a Proposal votes anything other than FOR on that Proposal, the author of that Proposal does not become eligible for any SP because of this rule for that Proposal.

Too often, people who don’t like a proposal are voting DEF because they don’t like it, but they don’t want to S/K it.  This will cause them to vote FOR is they want SP.  Also, it causes the author to consider carefully who is represented, as a DEF vote hurts him as well.

against Buggy. This’ll just encourage the represented players to not vote at all if they dislike the proposal, and merely comment. (And if you ban commenting too, they’ll comment in posts rather than on the proposal itself.) So this is basically just a convoluted mechanism to encourage spamming the blog and doesn’t actually fix anything.

ais523’s argument is convincing. I am deciding whether to kill this or not after I decide if that’s a good thing or not.
