Proposal: There’s a sidebar for a reason

A self-kill AND a veto! Failed by pokes.

Change the text “Those posts are Votable Matters, and should” from the “Pact Magic” rule to

Magic Backlash posts are Votable Matters. A post is a Magic Backlash post if all of the following is true: It has the text “Magic Backlash:” in it’s title, it is in the “Story Post—Votable Matter” category, it is not in any other category and it

 

Forces Magic Backlash posts to show up in the sidebar.

for Might be a good idea to make “Votable Matter” its own category in ExpressionEngine, at this point - “Story Post” seems a bit of a spandrel now.

Wait, this invalidates any pending Backlashes, though.

Would it be enough of a fix just to rename the EE category (which I don’t think needs a proposal)? I’m assuming the only reason we aren’t using the Votable Matters category already here is because the category is called “Story Post—Votable Matter”, and it would be against the rules to claim that a Backlash was a Story Post.

Yeah it would be good to make Votable Matter it’s own category. I’m not sure why there’s a category “Story Post—Voteable Matter” when it would be possible to simply check both the Story Post and Votable matter checkboxes.
against I didn’t consider the pending backlashes.

veto

Now I wonder if the result will be “veto” because it came later or “self-killed” because that came sooner.
