Proposal: Rewards for Stolen Ideas

Fails 2-6. — Quirck

Adminned at 20 Sep 2012 01:44:30 UTC

Enact a new rule entitled “[COR] Corrections” with the following text:

A Proposal is a Correction if it satisfies the following (possibly in the flavour text):

  • It contains a Citation to another Proposal (the Original).
  • The Original was authored by a different Student.
  • The Original was Pending when the Correction was submitted.
  • It explicitly indicates that it is a Correction of the Original.
  • It contains an explanation of one or more errors in the Original.

Students should not vote FOR a Correction unless it proposes substantially the same changes as the Original and it fixes the errors described.

A Student may make a Story Post containing Citations to an enacted Correction they wrote and that Correction’s failed Original, and claiming to Score by COR.  If a Student does so, they Score.

As an example:

Citation: http://blognomic.com/archive/peer_review/
This is a correction to the cited proposal

Correcting the earlier version by removing the ability to correct your own self-killed proposal and also making the correction’s author responsible for scoring for consistency with VPP.

This doesn’t solve your own comment to my version, and requiring the post is inconsistent with IFI (or whatever that one is) for

A proposes, B makes correction, A self kills, B scores. Then they repeat the other way. So seems too abuseable. Also will encourage people to vote against a proposal just so their correction is the only one that passes. against

It’s only one Project, and if people suspect this is happening, they can just vote against everything.
