In the last few weeks, the assumptions seem to have been made that there is support for future conditionals in the rules. There isn't (except for votes). Quazie delivered a judgement (3505), that gives very *narrow* support for allowing it under limited conditions, while noting that it *mostly* wasn't ok: > I agree, there's a long standing tradition (Potentially established/ > enforced through CFJ 3381 or CFJ 2926, this information gathering is > left up to the reader) that future conditional actions aren't valid, and > I will uphold that logic for most cases. As should be obvious from the above bid, willy-nilly allowing of future conditions screws up a LOT of mechanics; Auctions are a prime example. At this point, I'd suggest legislation, stating that unless specified otherwise for specific types of actions (e.g. votes), conditionals must be clearly resolvable, with publicly available information, without unreasonable effort, at the time they are made.
