I feel like distributions are currently really hard to parse as it is when there are tons of proposals, this proto would potentially increase the length of distributions N fold, where N is the number of players. Its scammable in that a paragraph has no space, so I could give a very lengthy opinion on each proposal that comes through, leading distributions to be held up by the size restrictions placed on the forums.
