Call for Judgment: Shifting Posts

Any CfJ that specifies neither changes to the Gamestate or Ruleset nor corrections to any gamestate tracking entities may be failed by any Admin. — Quirck

While I can understand why this should be problematic, I don’t see anything in the rules against this.

According to the rules of Proposals, “Any Honourable Member may submit a Proposal to change the Ruleset or Gamestate, by posting an entry in the “Proposal” category that describes those changes (unless the Honourable Member already has 2 Proposals pending, or has already made 3 Proposals that day).”

But there, at least to my knowledge, is no rule that governs standard posts.  So in principle, why couldn’t I ‘shift’ a post?  The alternative would be to delete and repost, which sort of has the same effect.  I don’t mind too much if I’m wrong about this, as I’ll repost the rules anyways, but it’s inconvenient.

Don’t be too hard on yourself, when I played a dynasty last year I kept forgetting to make them proposals too :P
