spoon-business: PROPOSAL self-repealers

["Tyler Crosby" <nomicvoice0@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

{{
_Self-Repealing Rules_

Create a new rule, entitled _Self-Repealing Rules_, with the following
-0- delimited text:

-0-
A rule is considered to be "self-repealing" if the proposal which created it 
has its text delimited by the delimiter 'X-X-X' (without the single quotes). 
 A self-repealing rule automatically repeals itself once certain conditions 
are met.  The conditions must be outlined in the text of the rule, and 
should be delimited using the delimiter
'*-*-*' (without the single quotes).  Conditions may not consist, in any 
part, of a player giving eir permission, or otherwise controlling when the 
rule repeals itself.  [[Basically says that it has to be something like, 
"one nweek from it's passing," or "a player has over 200 points," or other 
things which place it out of a player's direct control.]]  Conditions may 
not be changed once a self-repealing rule is enacted.  [[No defusing these 
bombs.]]  No player may be awarded a win as the result of a self-repealing 
rule except through gaining the points associated with its passing.

This allows for temporary changes to the rules to allow us to do things we 
might have not been able to do before.  If you try to abuse this, people 
won't vote for your SRP (self-repealing proposal).  This also allows for 
easy addition of keywords without clogging up the ruleset with proposals 
like "rule such-and-such gains the keyword so-and-so".  If anyone has any 
suggestions on the end part (trying to close up potential loopholes), send 
them out and I'd be glad to consider them.
