Proposal: Yet again and actually, the problems

Timed out (1-5)
Failed by Hix

Replace all instances of:

The oldest pending Proposal

in Rule 1.5 with

Any pending Proposal

Add to the end of the rule:

No Proposal may be either enacted or failed if it contains any reference to still-pending Proposals that would affect the function of the Proposal, or if any still-pending Proposals contain content that would affect the function of the Proposal.

I’ve done this twice before. The first time, I had some major problems. The second time, I fixed the problems but forgot to make it a proposal. This is functionally identical to the second one, but is actually a proposal.

imperial which I am expecting to result in a “no”.  Changing the 1.x rules is a Really Big Deal, and I’m not convinced that this issue is a problem that requires fixing.

I’ve fixed the technical problems that people noticed. I still think that the essence of this proposal is a good idea.

against 1) it encourages people to post frivilously, self kill and retry untill they get it passed.  People should think before they post (something I am often guilty of not doing)

2) We have in the past had in-game rewards for proposing (not passing) and for admining.  If either of these were to return, thi would provide an easy way to get a lot more of the rewards.

What part about no don’t you understand? The rules make sense the way they are…
