Proposal: We aren’t following them anyway.

9-0, unanimously timed out. -Elias IX

In the Glossary,
replace:

The “subject” of a blog entry is the first and only sentence in the Title of an entry. Any entry that does not have exactly one subject is not valid.

with:

The “subject” of a blog entry is the part of the Title of an entry which is not before the first colon.  If the Title does not contain a colon, than the whole Title is the subject.  Any entry whose subject is “” (i.e. an empty string) is not valid.

and delete:

Words in section 2 of the ruleset using a definition derived from section 2 of the ruleset rather than an English definition should be in bold, and a reference to the rule (if it is not the rule containing the word and the word has not been already referenced in the rule) that defines the word appended to it.

Hopefully, these core ruleset improvements will generate some interest…  Especially since under the old guidelines I count 14 invalid and 8 valid posts this week.

Not to mention 0 rules which follow the keyword guideline.

for Blessings.  Out of curiosity, why did you use “not before the first colon” rather than “after the first colon”?  I guess you wanted the colon to be part of the subject?

I originally had it 1 sentence shorter but added ” If the Title does not contain a colon, than the whole Title is the subject” later.
