Call for Judgment: Time travel can’t change the past
CfJ is illegal because it does not “describe the issue” per Rule 1.7. -Ornithopter

Change the section of the first paragraph of Rule 1.2 that reads “announcing their arrival” to instead read “making clear their wish to be an Artist”. If the term “Artist” in the ruleset is replaced by another term before this CfJ passes, use that term in place of “Artist” where it appears in the altered ruletext.
Retroactively alter every action in BlogNomic history since the word “announcing” first appeared in Rule 1.2 to have happened as if the rule read this way at the time.
I have attempted to make this as cross-factional as possible. Please vote in that spirit by looking beyond the immediate issue of whose votes count on the current CfJs. Not excluding anyone from being grandfathered in may be controversial, but I feel any attempt to exclude certain categories of people would have created even more controversy.The enormous retcon actually preserves things as they are and prevents a larger retcon from happening—one that would be an enormous pain to implement and would make an unknown number of BlogNomic Artists cease to be Artists.
Retconning is always ugly, but my hope is that this CfJ will garner such overwhelming support (or antagonism) that it’s passing (or failing) will not be in question, and current voting matter can be adminned as if this CfJ has already passed (or failed).
since I don’t believe this has any effect but is limited to papering over an ambiguity.
but 
because I think this would retroactively as-if-make Rule 1.2 have had the word “Artist” in pre-Art Dynasties.
