If the Rule “Vows” does not exist, this Proposal does nothing.

Change the following in rule “Vows”

Vow of Silence: In all posts and comments, official and unofficial, Monks shall only use the voting icons and the following character strings: “(sigh)”, “grrrr”, and “/me grins”.

to

Vow of Silence: In all posts and comments, official and unofficial, except for Calls for Judgment, Monks shall only use the voting icons and the following character strings: “(sigh)”, “grrrr”, and “/me grins”.

Why should silenced Monks get to talk?

Besides… there is the anonymous Call for Judgment author-thing, if someone really wants to CfJ.

for Don’t restrict CfJ expression.

Two reasons:

1) The vow of silence applies regardless of what account is used, but this isn’t enforcable.
2) In the specific case of CfJs, I can see this causing significant delays to a meta-game action, especially as they actually require discussion.

I’d prefer not to have players muted for CfJ’s, myself.
