I'm basing this on the fact that officers did it so often to get a Cyan ribbon (without the conspicuousness costing them anything) that we modified Cyan. I suspect, like Cyan, it's something we'd say when it happened "well that's allowed but undesirable so we should fix it systemically, not impeach or anything." Just trying to save introducing something we'd want to fix? -G.

These both seem like good arguments to perhaps reset it on a time-frame. Quarterly would match with what we've done for blots before. Overall this seems opposite of what we'd want a metric to do - which would be to go lower if you missed a present/recent report, but forgive the more distant past. So I'm concerned this incentivizes what we don't want? -G. -- nix Herald, Collector

Note that this doesn't *actually* decriminalize it since all SHALL violations are criminalized. But it does help prepare larger changes, and discourage specifically targeting it. -- nix Herald, Collector

I think it might've been a delayed effect of rule changes. When Competitive Finger-Pointing was introduced our behavior around finger-pointing didn't change much, but players that have registered since then have been a lot more strict on it. It's possible this is because competitive finger-pointing implies a very cutthroat usage of blots that wasn't part of our playstyle before it. -- nix Herald, Collector
