Well, they may be able to *call*, but do they get an answer? No. So there's little point in prohibiting them from doing something which has no effect.

R155 was, indeed, written in response to a proosal where I bribed all the players. I'd initially proosed that as joke, and found it immensely funny when r155 was created as a response. Especially as it completely failed to stop such things from working, as has been demonstrated by the proosal that created r259, which successfully bribed those players who voted for it.

It was also amended to try to stop my CFJs which promised control of the game, but those were rather less of a serious attempt to achieve a scam, and rather more of an attempt to point out that the "force-of-law" provision in the CFJ rule was hugely broken. Now that that's been removed, and CFJs aren't broken, that rule doesn't do anything.

(a) it was only funny at first.
(b) it doesn't do anything.
