BUS: Another way to patch

2018-04-14 Thread Kerim Aydin



I submit the following proposal, "Officer patching", AI-1:


Amend Rule 2445 (How to Pend a Proposal) by appending the following
paragraph:

  The holder of an Office CAN Rubberstamp a proposal for that 
  specified office, without 3 objections, if no other proposal has 
  been rubberstamped for that office in the current Agoran month. 
  When rubberstamped, the proposal becomes an official proposal
  associated with that office. Rubberstamping SHOULD only be used to
  make rule or gamestate corrections associated with the duties of 
  that office.

[A proposed compromise between the "allow without objection fix 
proposals" and the "pay for every proposal including bugfixes" camps]







BUS: Illogical
