Oh I really like that. Added to the local copy!

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?

  - you can clear your name by resigning and re-deputizing for the office;


FWIW if someone did do this they'd then have to do their job well 
afterwards for it to stick and doing that would be somewhat conspicuous, 
so it doesn't seem like a big issue?




  - there's no notion of forgiving the past without resigning in this
manner;

  - as time goes on in an office, each missed report contributes less %, so
it means the longer you hold the office the less the % matters and the
less you might care (I have learned this point playing Wordle lol).



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?

I agree with moving to something like this in principle, but I think that
the metric needs work.

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.
