Proposal: Slackronym

Popular, 5-1. Enacted by JonathanDark.

Adminned at 24 Jun 2025 18:06:53 UTC

To the bullet point in “Scoring” that begins “Calculate the median value”, add:-

. If this rounded value is 1, then the Backronym is considered a Flop and any later steps in this action that would award Points to the Backronym’s author are skipped.

Per Clucky’s point about farming Buzzwords on Blognomicle; proposing that if enough people give a Backronym the thumbs down, it doesn’t get to score any Buzzword points.

arrow Interacts weirdly with There’s No I, as 1 results will be much less likely to be counted.

Still extremely likely to give an average of 1, I think, if everyone including the Rival rates it as 1? Even if that’s not 100% guaranteed, it seems enough reason not to risk it.
