Was there ever an intent to actually create a Medal?

A player willing to break the rules could then deregister everyone else
by acting on their behalf, then forcing through a proposal giving them
retroactive immunity before the rest of the players could punish them.

Another potential problem: think about my recent actions obo Murphy. I
wasn't intentionally acting obo without consent there (because I still
think that the Points Party scam worked); but I acknowledge that it's
highly controversial whether the scam worked or not, and would expect
several other players to think that my actions there failed. Should that
be given a small or a large penalty? If small, isn't that effectively
rewarding scams that don't work, by letting them have effects anyway?
